Wouldn't that be "for every (or almost every) call-site"?
"most call sites" would be fine. The common use case matters, it's not that hard to conditionally call a different function, as long as that's the uncommon use-case. The other key here is that even if a boolean flag does essentially select between two different function, there are times where there is more than one such boolean flag for a single function, so you end up with 2**n "different" functions -- in this case, probably better to just use the flags and have one calling point. -CHB -- Christopher Barker, Ph.D. Oceanographer Emergency Response Division NOAA/NOS/OR&R (206) 526-6959 voice 7600 Sand Point Way NE (206) 526-6329 fax Seattle, WA 98115 (206) 526-6317 main reception Chris.Barker@noaa.gov
