ACE+TAO-1.5a
gcc3.4.4
linux

I'm trying to compile an app which pulls in some TAO code. However, I
get lots of name collisions on methods called 'nil' in TAO, e.g. the
following error is one of thousands just like it:

<blah blah>/ACE_wrappers/TAO/tao/Objref_VarOut_T.cpp:12: error:
expected unqualified-id before numeric constant

Here's the code it refers to:

10: template <typename T>
11: TAO_Objref_Var_T<T>::TAO_Objref_Var_T (void)
12: : ptr_ (TAO::Objref_Traits<T>::nil ())
13: {
14: }

nil must be a #define'd constant somewhere or similar. Anybody know
where this collision is coming from and how this may be worked around?

Thanks,
Adam

Resolved this issue by changing #define nil 0 in local library code to
something else.
