I would like to point out, that line of code does not mean what you think i= t ought to... In my day job, I have NEVER come across a coding standard that permits the "multiple variables declared on one line" like this. It's always been one variable per line with the confusion surrounding pointers cited as justification.=20 Personally, I have always used=20 int *a; int b; as I seem to read it as "as is a pointer that contains an int" and "b is an int". @VG regardless of boost, you should choose whatever style you prefer, it's your project! All you need to do is be consistent. --=20 http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist .
