CGAL users discussion list

Hello,

I'm using CGAL in combination with
<sys/mman.h>
on a Linux System (I believe every linux has one like that). This header 
defines a preprocessor macro named MAP_TYPE

e.g.
#define MAP_TYPE        0x0f    /* Mask for type of mapping */

which leads to very strange behaviour when combined with the 
./include/compare_vertices.h class, which is apparently a part of CGAL (see 
below).
This CGAL class uses MAP_TYPE as a template parameter, which is obviously 
replaced by the preprocessor. To avoid unnecessary hacks (and because it is 
unlikely that mman.h will be changed that easily - although I recognize its 
not a very good style to name a macro like that): could you choose some other 
name? :D

greetings
Chris
