Migrating generic.h to GNU GCC/G++

[carlsagan.13]

There is no generic.h with GNU, and specifically no name2() function
for me to substitute for in my ancient (1992) source code. If anyone
can specify or steer me in the right direction I would be very grateful
as I am just about stuck. I don't know if I will run into any other
generic.h problems beyond name2() so if you can suggest a "generic" way
to work around this problem, that would be super. Thanks.

Thank you!

That's easy:

//file generic.h

void name2()
{
}
Would you mind telling us what 'generic.h' and 'name2()' are ?

Have you tried the GCC-dedicated newsgroup: gnu.gcc.help? Please
always try a more specific (especially WRT products) forum first.

A little google searching turned up this:

The "generic.h" file used to be included with all C++ development
environments; it defined macros that were used to "glue" tokens
together to emulate the capabilities of templates. These macros had
names such as "name2", "declare", and "implement".

Convert the code to use templates perhaps??
