I seem to have a bigger problem with what you do and how you do it. Index: strfwd.h =================================================================== --- strfwd.h (revision 21517) +++ strfwd.h (revision 21518) @@ -28,23 +28,23 @@ #endif -#include<iosfwd> +#include <iosfwd> -#ifdef _MSC_VER -namespace std { +// We have to forward declare the string type as not all compilers +// do that in the iosfwd header. +namespace std +{ + template<typename Char, typename Traits, typename Alloc> class basic_string; typedef basic_string<char, char_traits<char>, allocator<char> > string; + } Why the uncalled-for stylistic changes that deviates from LyX practice? There is not a single precedence in src/* unless grep -R '^namespace ' | grep -v = | grep -v '{' lies to me. As long as such "accidents" happen I certainly would prefer if you post your patches to list and let a few hours pass before committing them. The fact that a few people commit first and discuss later (if at all) does not necessarily mean everybody is entitled to do so. Andre'
