Didn't bother me at all. Just stating you can post if you want or not - no one is forcing you to 'as you say' argue over nothing.

Thanks for your input but no one forced you to post here. So if you feel like you are arguing over nothing, kindly remove yourself from the thread.

I'd say we've covered everything, though so I'm...

Actually I don't understand how you know Bjarne.

C++ can be unsafe, but if you are given a lot of power, you are also given a lot of responsibility to use the power correctly. Not everyone does that.

It gets complex at times, but it comes down to good design in the end. I'm not sure I want my code leaking...

Well I just started reading my new book, Pro Visual C++/CLI and the .NET 2.0 platform. It is written by Stephen R. G. Fraser, one of the 4 key people in the devlopment of C++/CLI.
