I completely understand your frustration. I've CC'd the individuals who worked on the bug (based on information in the CR), including the engineer who closed it out. Perhaps they can explain why they chose to use the (hidden) comments section, and why you were not contacted before the bug was closed. Anyway, the claim in the comments section is that the "extern "C"" stuff around the header file should've caused the compiler to not treat "explicit" as a keyword. I don't have a C++ specification handy, but AFAIK "extern "C"" only affects the linkage/mangling rules, not the keyword namespace. In any case, it's unclear from the Comments section what was done to prove this was a "compiler issue", but that was the stated reason why it was closed. -- meem _______________________________________________ opensolaris-code mailing list opensolaris-code@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/opensolaris-code
