Thread: I feel.....clean....

I've spent most of today upgrading the code for my game to replace my arrays and char* strings with STL containers and strings.

While I was at it I started thinking about my old-style C macros. Where I use to have:

Code:

#define SafeRelease(DirectXptr) {if(DirectXptr) {DirectXptr->Release(); DirectXptr=0;}}

I now use:

Code:

template<typename _T> inline void SafeRelease(_T T)
{
   T->Release();
   T=0;
}

It's the kind of feeling when I first moved from VB to C++ for writing games. Like I was doing something "naughty" before....
