[aspectc-user] AspectC++ running/installation problems

[Aleksandra Tesanovic]

Hello!
Thanks for your help. I've succeeded to run AspectC++, but only (as you
predicted) with .cc files (the .c files are not recognized). 
Do you know when the next version that will support C code will be
available (as you mentioned in the mail that the new version will have a
command line switch to select the input language)? I would be very
interested in that, since all of my code is in C.

Regards,
Aleksandra
