Comments from coleenp and kbarrett on cleanup needed for global_Definitions*.hpp:

1. globalDefinitions_<compiler.hpp. has #defines for pragma interface/pragma implementation that can be removed.

And then there's these other macros for super old GCC compilers. No longer relevant.

// Portability macros
#define PRAGMA_INTERFACE #pragma interface
#define PRAGMA_IMPLEMENTATION #pragma implementation

#if (__GNUC__ == 2) && (__GNUC_MINOR__ < 95)
#define TEMPLATE_TABLE_BUG
#endif
#if (__GNUC__ == 2) && (__GNUC_MINOR__ >= 96)
#define CONST_SDM_BUG
#endif


2. These should go in globals.hpp because that is the only place they are used.

//----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Default and minimum StringTable and SymbolTable size values
// Must be a power of 2

const size_t defaultStringTableSize = NOT_LP64(1024) LP64_ONLY(65536);
const size_t minimumStringTableSize = 128;

const size_t defaultSymbolTableSize = 32768; // 2^15
const size_t minimumSymbolTableSize = 1024;


3. There are 'Forward' declarations of frequently used classes. Some don't exist and should be removed.


4. These functions may longer be used and should be deleted:

//----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Avoid non-portable casts with these routines (DEPRECATED)

// NOTE: USE Bytes class INSTEAD WHERE POSSIBLE
// Bytes is optimized machine-specifically and may be much faster then the portable routines below.
