Thanks for your quick reply. I knew this trick. But what I want is
probably some more elegant ways of doing this. (It seems quite a bit of
a trouble since those pragmas will generate lots of warnings when I
build using gcc. And if I have to surround each of those pragma with
platform detection macros, it will end up quite a few lines for each of
my hundred header/source files.)

Any easier-to-adopt ideas? :)

Cheer,

Freddie
