I'm trying to compile Zinc ( a cross platform GUI library) with g++ 
2.6.3.  It won't work because 'true' is the name of a Zinc class 
member, and also seems to be defined in the compiler. 

I have successfully compiled Zinc on g++ 2.5.8, but don't want to be 
stuck with using an old compiler version forever.

Could anyone tell me if true will remain defined in future releases 
of g++ ?

Thanx in advance,

Julian

Yes.  Add ' -Dtrue=xtrue' to your CFLAGS.

And watch all of the other libraries break when they start using the
standard:-(.

I would definitly lobby the vendor to change this name.  In fact, I
would ask them what they were thinking of when they chose it to begin
with.
