I don't think you need to understand the build system to implement export in C++. You do clearly need to understand the g++ frontend. However, it's impossible for me to estimate how long it would take somebody to understand it. It would depend greatly on that person's experience as a programmer and knowledge of C++. gcc's C++ frontend is probably some 150,000 lines of code, considering everything. Ian
