SAFE_DELETE and SAFE_RELEASE macros are defined by XTPMacros.h

unfortunatly these are very commonly used macro names and just about every api has them. fortunatly almost every other api wraps them in:

#if !defined SAFE_DELETE
#define SAFE_DELETE(x)
...
#endif

meaning you dont get these redefinition error. Although you may have specific implementations for the macro's bodies so maybe you should rename them:

XT_SAFE_DELETE
XT_SAFE_RELEASE

to avoid future conflicts while still maintaining the ability to customise the macro body.

Him

just add

#undef SAFE_DELETE

before you include toolkit.

yes I did this but its a hack not a solution. I think the real problem needs to be addressed with the toolkit.

<code>

#if !defined SAFE_DELETE

#endif

</code>

wrappers...
