[gecode-users] help--trouble on using Gecode in VS2008

[Filip Konvička]

> definitely nope ;-) Thanks for telling, that's useful. Is that commonly known (this is one of the ugliest things I saw in a while...)?

Well, Microsoft has an article about this

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/143208

But that does not mean it is not ugly :-) But people use it now and 
then. I wish there was a universal "#define ADHERE_TO_STANDARDS" flag 
instead of this one... or better, if there was no need for one :-)

Cheers,
Filip
