#150001 - i think oranges and apples Responding to: ???'s previous message |
David Prentice said: The biggest problem is portability.
Maarten replied: I disagree that portability is the biggest problem. I think the so-many-derivatives nightmare is much worse. I think apples (portability between devices) and oranges (portability between compilers). Jan, if you do this, and end up with code that has 47 million if statements, you will have code that support the 0.01% of the users that are concerned with portability between compilers/derivatives for I/O codeI do not refer to 'mathematical' or such functions where the "portability between derivatives" interest is quite a bit higher since that is not what this thread is about. With such code you will lose the majority of users that do not want code that is very messy to satisfy concerns they do not have. Maarten, I'm sory, I see no interest of any size in portability between compilers for I/O code, I am certain that switching compiler for the same processor family is an extremely rare event. Erik |
