| #define QL_DUMMY_RETURN | ( | x | ) |
Is a dummy return statement required?
Some compilers will issue a warning if it is missing even though it could never be reached during execution, e.g., after a block like
if (condition) return validResult; else QL_FAIL("whatever the reason");
| #define QL_IO_INIT |
I/O initialization.
Sometimes, programs compiled with the free Borland compiler will crash miserably upon attempting to write on std::cout. Strangely enough, issuing the instruction
std::cout << std::string();
std::cout from crashing the program. This macro, to be called at the beginning of main(), encapsulates the above enchantment for Borland and is defined as empty for the other compilers.
