For software you build for others, do most of you sign your macros and
if so how or do you set macro security to low?

(I guess some virusses try to do so ...)
I do as part of the Install routine which an administrator has to run. Hmm, or maybe
I don't now that I think about it.

No, this is a registry setting.

Using an external launcher to set AutomationSecur ity property is the only method that
I know of other than using code signing. Now why MS allowed this "hole" is beyond
me.

I opened an app and pressed View/Toolbar/Customize and had a custom
menubar and the regular Main database menu bar. I went to
Tools/Macro/Security and dragged it to the custom menubar. Then reset
the Main database menu. I now have the custom menu bar with the Macro
security. Wouldn't that work?

So, the Registry setting in the Runtime is unavailable to the user (unless I
code a UI to it). So what is it's default installed state?
Maybe this is something I can set using SageKey scripts for my installation
package. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics | |

Apologies for the length of this message. If you don't want to look

"Movement" seems quite an exaggeration. Maybe 2-3 people made some
experiments, but nobody within the core Python developers seems
to be willing to advocate the introduction of macros.

Is there any hope that new versions of PHP
will support macros similar to C or C++?
I've searched manual and didn't find anything
except define directive, but it can be used
to define constant values only.
Of course it is not THAT neccessary functionality,
but it could be very useful.

When writing C99 code is a reasonable recommendation to use inline
functions instead of macros?
What sort of things is it still reasonable to do using macros? For
example, is it reasonable to write type generic functions macros?
#define CUBE(I) ( (I) * (I) * (I) )
Is there some more concise set of things where inline functions should
be used instead of macros? Multi-statement macros, for example?

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
