RE: [GD-General] not sure where to post this question... bit C++ implementation specific....

[Richard F. <gd...@th...>]

You've got to admit this is a bit of a stinker, and i can't see why the
c++ langauge cannot cope with this simple premise.

At the moment, the best compromise we can come up with is to #ifdef
VALUE #error#else#define VALUE 12.5f#endif
... do stuff with the constant ...
#undef VALUE

we've got a good thing going on about not polluting the namespace, and
#defines can wreak havok on anything that hits them.

------------------
On the other hand
I may be talking
complete drivel.
