That's reserved for the standard. As for PL_, that is indeed already in use (I knew I had seen it somewhere!). A grep over my /usr/include finds it in, oh, nspr/pl*.h, oskit/freebsd/sys/ resourcevar.h, plplot*.h, canna/RK.h ... seems *several* groups of other people liked it. Perl_ is probably fine, though. One in four, not bad ;-) Back to the drawing board? MfG KaiThread Previous | Thread Next
