I don't know how to do this, do you? The given link should work, but as it's wrapped over two lines, you need to paste it together before use (everything between the parentheses, excluding the ">" signs). Also, as #once (or something like it) is not in the current language, it wouldn't just need a library change, but also a core change. There are committee members reading this list, so just bringing it up like this, brings it to their attention. Regards, Terje --- [ comp.std.c++ is moderated.
