Unless RSI has a Wonderland solution, they probably do the same.
Just a "reverse" idea: Looking at one of your recent examples, it
seemed as if all the code but the definition of the out array was type
independent. So, why not put that code in a macro? Something like

if(maxQ) {switch( type ) {
case IDL_TYP_BYTE:
{
UCHAR *tin,*tout,tmp;
tout=( UCHAR *)out;
tin=( UCHAR *)arg[0]->value.arr->data;
#include max_fun.h
}
}
break;
case IDL_TYP_INT:
{
short *tin,*tout,tmp;
tout=( short *)out;
tin =( short *)arg[0]->value.arr->data ;
#include max_fun.h
}
}
break;
...

Doesn't solve the problem but may make the code easier to read and
maintain (just imagine you want to fix a bug in 10 copies of almost
the same code)

Cheers,

Martin
