    I've written apps both ways (MFC and C#) and I can say I would never willingly choose MFC for a future windows GUI app. C# is just much much easier to use.

    I have no idea why someone would recommend MFC or Win32 over C#. C# is easily more powerful for building windows-only apps, and especially GUI apps. There really is no comparison. And if you by...

    I am not 100% sure that I'm correct, but my understanding was that only stdafx.h (or whatever header file you call out in the Visual Studio settings) will be precompiled, and it must be the first...

    I'm not convinced you understand what pimpl is all about. My understanding is that it is for speeding up compile times. In your example, Hat will always need to be recompiled when Cat changes. It is...

    What does splice do? If it modifies mList (it appears that it might) then it is a mistake, because it would (possibly) invalidate your iterator. The basic rule is if you modify a container any...
