Hello, Is there any chance that ruby will become compilable by an ANSI compiler? The problem is that I want to add some c++ constructs to the original source for some tests and a c++ compiler does not understand the K&R way of defining arguments to methods. This seems to be the main stumbling block. The other stumbling block is that it implicitly casts functions and the C++ compiler does not accept this, but this is easily changed by adding an explicit cast. With regards, Christophe
