Why? Seriously. 10.04 is not even supported by Ubuntu itself any more. I have a patch cooking that will convert hundreds of Scheme callbacks to member functions with that technique. Part of the reason is to get argument type checks in for stuff like (ly:grob::stencil-height 0) which just segfaults right now. Having a member function instead of a static member makes the code simpler while the static template generated by this technique does the typechecking while creating a this-pointer from an SCM. And if you call the member function via C++ with an existing instance pointer, you bypass the typechecking. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
