    Thats the exact page I was gonna post a link to! I had to reformat and my favorites are gone so I couldn't. LOL!

    Anyways, yea I forgot about try/catch. Its all ok unless you use it. Then there are a few other things too.

    Moin, just fell over this topic and thought that I maybe can give another reason for using C . It is predictable, that means that it is hard to design c++ code that is predictable in the sens that it is hard to proof that the code is correct and complete.
    I design embedded systems with safety critical constraints, and all CASE Tools I know produce c code because it can be checked with modelcheckers to reason about their correctness.

    So far so good...maybe a new aspect

    Thanks for bumping a 6 month old thread
    Now swing by the rules to find out what the rules of the board are.
    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
