I don't quite understand. Libs and dlls are also compiled. Unless you're building a template-only library, it should work fine and without confusion. Also, accessing private and protected members is entirely optional, and UnitTest++ will continue to work perfectly with just public access.

In this case, there is no "main executable" as such, but there should be a test suite. [e.g unittest++: it's only main() is its own test suite.] In my current project, I deal with templates a lot and it's typical to see errors only when templates get instantiated (at the moment, mostly inside my testcases as the users haven't fully caught on to the API) -- I wouldn't want that process to be subtly subverted with keyword redefinitions... ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
