  35 This is just a quickie based on what I read earlier.
  36
  37 If you're going to add features to ircservices, especially if you intend
  38 (or atleast, would like) your features to be incorporated into newer
  39 releases, you MUST make sure ALL your code changes will accomodate ALL
  40 supported IRCds.
  41
  42 The way Andy originally coded services makes this quite easier... you have
  43 a number of compile-time directives which compile in the appropriate code
  44 based on the ircd selected at configuration.
  45
  46 For example:
  47
  48         #ifdef IRC_DAL4_4_15
  49                 ... code ...
  50         #endif
  51
  52 The expressions available are:
  53
  54         IRC_DALNET, IRC_DAL4_4_15, IRC_CLASSIC,
  55         IRC_UNDERNET_NEW, IRC_TS8, IRC_UNDERNET,
  56
  57 Don't suppose anyone is bored and would like to outline the differences
  58 between these IRCds?  Maybe add it to a programming FAQ for services which
  59 another bored person could make?
  60
  61 Lastly, I agree with the need for an additional list for the CODING of
  62 ircservices.  Feature suggestions and things help requests are fine for a
  63 normal list, but I think a place where people could discuss implementation
  64 of certain things and what they break, how to fix these things, etc, would
  65 be constructive.
