colormap static load

[aflux]

static colormaps should be staticly written as

unsigned char * p = "\x01\x02\x03\x04...";

instead of

p[0] = 0x01; p[1] = 0x02; p[2] = 0x03; ...

This is only possible in c++0x (which is still unavaible in the basic g++ os osx)

this doesn't compile on osx (you need a decent compiler)

#include
unsigned char * allocateandfill (int n) {
unsigned char *p=new unsigned char[n] {'\x01','\x02'};
return p;
}

int main () {
int n=100;
unsigned char *p=allocateandfill(n);
for (int i=0;i<n;i++) {
std::cerr << i << "\t" << (int)p[i] << std::endl;
}
}

ok it seems to be possible using macports, but you have to do this:
sudo port select --list gcc
sudo port select --set gcc mp-gcc48

and -std=c++11 flag should be turned on

In fact qmake wants to build with system gcc...
so you need to hack the neutrino.pri to force new compiler and this break the compilation (probably because QT is built upon gcc4.2)

and add these to neutrino.pri to tackle the default qmake definitions

QMAKE_CC = gcc
QMAKE_CXX = g++
QMAKE_LINK = $$QMAKE_CXX
QMAKE_LINK_SHLIB = $$QMAKE_CXX

worth the candle?
