I'm not at all well versed in >c++ so forgive me if I'm off track. The strace.h file has been c++ only since March 7. Personally, I think it was a mistake to expose strace to external programs. IMO, this is an "OS" interface. However, for now, you'll need to use c++ to access strace. I've recently also made changes to accomodate some newer gccs which have deprecated some of the usages that I'd relied on in the header. FYI, DJ, Corinna, and I are at a meeting this week, so our responses to email will be pretty slow. cgf -- Want to unsubscribe from this list? Send a message to cygwin-unsubscribe@sourceware.cygnus.com
