Now I can't use void pointers the way I could before without searching the fucking docs for why this is bad. IT'S THERE FOR A REASON FOR VOID POINTERS YOU FUCKING IDIOTS. I KNOW WHAT THE FUCK I'M DOING SO STAY THE FUCK OUT OF MY WAY GODDAMN IT! C++ WOULD NOTFUCKING EXIST WITHOUT VOID POINTERS, YOU FUCKING STANDARDS JACKOFFS! FUCK THIS SHIT! I want my portable assember back, not this fucking weenie shit suitable only for pimply green newbie Java pukes. -drl

WIth Linux, it's the compiler and libc installation. It should be easy to just drop in a back-dated version but it isn't - and since I DO need the C++ improvements in 3.x, I'd have that anyway - but the wankers should STOP FUCKING WITH C and ISOLATE C++ in its own buggered world. (Anyway I found a way around the problem.) -drl

It is just a matter of learning how the new compiler works and rewrite the code to work with it. This doesn't just happen in C/C++ it can happen in other languages too. Just look at all the .Net stuff that Microsoft coders have to work with now, and when Microsoft changes all the APIs when Longhorn comes out they will have to learn new things again. I'd say learning how to handle Void pointers in a new way isn't as bad as all the .Net stuff going on now. I am glad you found a way around the problem, I knew you could do it. *"Lady I only speak two languages, English and Bad English!" - Corbin Dallas "The Fifth Element"*
