Prepared guide for migrating code to be Void safe

New page

Migrating your code to be void-safe is quite easy if you follow the recommendations presented in this document.

==Prepare migration using EiffelStudio 6.3 or EiffelStudio 6.4 with the compatibility option==
Compile your code using and apply the following refactorings:
- Search for callers of <e>{STRING_8}.make_from_c</e> and <e>{STRING_32}.make_from_c</e>. Replace them by <e>make_from_c_pointer</e> when used as creation procedure, otherwise it is ok to leave it as is.
- Search for callers of <e>{CELL}.default_create</e> and replace it by calling <e>put</e> instead and providing a sensible default value.
