(I had ignored the gcc warning and later realized this to be a string.) Probably the template plugin code can have a definition of macro VERSION, so that the generated filter is compilable out of the box(?). Thanks. </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;"> > Thanks > > Br, > V > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > Download Intel&#174; Parallel Studio Eval > Try the new software tools for yourself.
