Just out of interest, why are paNoDevice, paFloat32, etc, defines
instead of const values?
I don't really know. Isn't that kind of a six/half-dozen detail?
Probably. I think it was Bjarne Stroustrup who said
something along the
lines of "Every use of a define is an instance of a programmer not
programming correctly." But I was just wondering if it was some
portability thing or something.
I think the basic idea is not to use preprocessor for programming...
