Exceptions in C/C++

[CBFalconer]

I would be surprised if a considerable amount of newbies read the
Standard. Even before gets was declared obsolescent,
implementations with respectable QoI, like gcc for example,
routinely diagnosed any use of gets.

The problem is there still exist widely used local textbooks that
use gets all over the place. Newbies tend to, understandably, put
more faith in their textbooks than obscure standard documents and
people on Usenet.


That was actually CBFalconer.

Yes, and the proper quotation was:

Like many people here, he thinks that by ranting against me
he will gain something...

And this sort of continual antagonistic bitching fails to earn you
any respect. Why don't you operate off-line, and review your
'responses' before sending them?

You confirm my sentence above.


You confuse this newsgroup and the C language.
IBM, Intel, and many other companies have already
implemented the C99 standard. Do not confuse the
reject of C99 in this newsgroup with the "reject of C99".




I think I am old enough to know what I do without having to follow your
advice.

Your posts in this group suggest otherwise. They give the impression
that you are an extremely childish little oik living in a Neverneverland
where someone gives a flying frick about your pathetic little compiler
and its pointless extensions.

If you think C99 is such a panacea, why don't you get off your fanny and
implement it, instead of always bitching here about people who take a
pragmatic approach to language standards?

You might get more respect in this newsgroup if you didn't use it as a
dumping group for adverts for lcc, hysterical whinging about how the
world is against you, and repetitive drivel about the numerous C++
features you want added to C.

If you want operator overloading, "better" strings, object-orientation
and the rest, then C++ is sitting there waiting for you to use it. And
then you could inflict your bullshit on comp.lang.c++ instead of
polluting this group.

What a surprise that the only one who defends the unhinged spamming Frog
is a notorious troll...

Who's defending Jacob? I was attacking you. Get it straight.

Racial/nationalist slurs have no place in civilised debate, and it is
everyone's duty to stand up against such attacks. Jacob's articles can and
indeed should be attacked on technical grounds (and moral grounds, when
he's spamming), but it is puerile to attack him for being French.

True. But we are dealing with somebody who just doesn't get it.
Our help is probably better expended on more deserving candidates.

Yes, and the proper quotation was:

[ snip more spam ]

for material that has been put in the public domain.

For something to be spam, the commercial status is irrelevant. The
frequency of the advertisement is.

Herr Bos seems unable to recognize a donation.

"Herr"? What is this, some kind of broken attempt at Godwinisation?
