Hi Mirek,

That would be great! It would also make U++ much easier to use without theide. Using other IDEs or makefiles, cmake, etc. would lower the barrier for new users and could allow many more people to adopt U++.

First of all, let's think do we really need to keep icpp-compatibility at all. Or it is possible to forget about them once and for all.

I'm definitely for dropping icpp completely, if possible. There are other uses, not only plugin-like stuff (e.g. files with Skylark handlers), but those could be solved in similar way I presume. Could there be a simple utility class for automatic initialization that could be used in all cases, even in user code?

struct GifInitializer { GicInitializer() { GifInitializerFunction(); } };

static GifInitializer DummyName;

void GifInitializerFunction() {}

INITBLOCK {
  ... register GIF in Draw
}
