__POCC__OLDNAMES
« on: December 13, 2005, 10:33:29 PM »
I have a windows project which uses stdlib too (stricmp, ltoa).
I have to head "#define __POCC__OLDNAMES" before the include directive.
What about linking oldnames.lib automatically, when the corresponding name had been defined?
Another pragma "#pragma lib "oldnames.lib" is currently necessary.

Regards,
Andreas

What about using the correct compiler option /Go (or check "Define compatibility names" in IDE Project options) - it will define __POCC__OLDNAMES and include oldnames.lib... ;-)

Thanks for the hint. Did not remember that stricmp is not standard C :-(

BTW: Very good work (PellesC)!

Is there a way to put compiler switches in the source, as like as there is for the linker?

Thanks. No, you can't (generally speaking) change compiler options from the source code. At least some options can only be valid for the entire file, and #pragma's can be put anywhere in a file. Embedding options in a comment is just too ugly...

Yes, you're surely right. I believe I didn't spent enought time in considering my question...
For my goal the two pragmas are good enough.

Thanks
