["Carl Rash" <crash@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have an issue compiling the common library. In the file
include/plot_common.h in the PSLIKE_PLOTTER class definition a floating
constant literal is declared as follows:

 

"static const double postscriptTextAscent = 0.718;"

 

My compiler complains ISO C++ forbids initialization of constant member of
non-integral type. My work around is to comment out the initialization in
the class definition and perform the instantiation and initialization in the
file common_plotPS_functions.cpp. 

 

Apparently this is allowed in GCC without the -pedantic directive. I don't
mind the work around, I just wanted to see what the philosophy of the
developers is on this issue.

 

Thanks
