yeah i'm dreaming, but i'd still like to see it happen. right now i have a testfile from mozilla that won't build w/ dmc (or bcw).

this 'file' (it's actually the trimmed preprocessed output from ms cl for some file in mozilla)

Walter, are the features used here things on your todolist?

-sc digital mars 8.0B2n (from CD)-
F1004.borland.cpp(104) : Error: identifier or '( declarator )' expected
template <>
          ^
F1004.borland.cpp(121) : Error: no identifier for declarator
Fatal error: too many errors

Analysis: dm8.0 doesn't support |template<>|

-cpp32 borland c++ 5.5-
Fatal F1004 F1004.borland.cpp 350: Internal compiler error at 0x45e5a9 with base

Fatal F1004 F1004.borland.cpp 350: Internal compiler error

fwiw,

I've once thought about trying it, but I have been, short in time the last 5 years... <g>

using the preprocessor output from ms vc++ probably isn't a good idea - you should have a look at nscore.h for some compiler capability defines:

In particular you should undef HAVE_CPP_MODERN_SPECIALIZE_TEMPLATE_SYNTAX, HAVE_CPP_EXPLICIT, HAVE_CPP_TYPENAME (and probably others) for dm8.x.

I think just deleting "template <>" will be fine in this case (but the C++ capability defines should already take care of that).
