RE: [cdt-dev] outputflag in toolchain

Hi Ralf,

On Windows (Motif and GTK may be the same...) an ampersand is used to
designate a UI "accelerator".

This is from the MSDN:

When you attempt to have an ampersand (&) appear in a form name, custom
menu name or control name, it is necessary to use two ampersands (&&).

A single ampersand is used to designate an access or accelerator key.
When you view a form name with a single ampersand in it, the character
immediately following the ampersand is underlined and that character is
that form's associated access key.

Regards,
Leo

I know. This was only an example about the informations, which will be
nice to have to build some parameters of the compiler without asking the
user.

The IAR compiler has a flag to use the old K&R calling conventions. If I
insert in the name of the option "use K&R convention" I see only "use KR
convention". If I use "use K&ampersand;R convention", I get the complete
text as the name.

Best regards
