Hi Klaas<br>
<br>
I think it could be. This came up with Mark Spieth's packaging
change to use a new compiler. I will look through the code to see
if there are many uses of "auto" and whether they are working on
android. I am not very familiar with "auto" and its usage, but in
this case it seemed unnecessary because you could see the type right
there in the code. Other places where they assign auto to the result
of a complicated expression may be more difficult to fix if they are
not working. What was particularly confusing was that the code
seemed to use "auto" and "auto *" interchangeably when creating a
pointer. This was working in linux and the old compiler but not the
new compiler.<br>
