You could delete it. Stick
cout << "\b ";
after the while loop. It's ugly, but would prevent the need for additional conditional testing.
>Why bloat my app with unnecessary templating?<
There shouldn't be any bloat with a simple templated wrapper function. Doing a quick test on VC++.net appeared to support this, as there was no...
>no no no, you miss my point, codng standards should never limit the functionality of a language<
I think C++ would be a mess if you didn't 'limit' its functionality in a team situation. I'm not...

What tasks?

Therefore doing anything on a computer is programming. You have a very loose (almost...
Thanks.
I appreciate that. To be more specific, what is the best use of each medium?
What is the difference?
Yeah, it was like NUKE v NUKE. I was residing in South Africa at the time (that's if I had been born) and thought the whole thing might be quite SWEET and that both countries needed messing up anyway.
That's what most of the world were saying in 1962 about two relatively immature nuclear powers.

Java may suck; but people who use dubious sources to prove the suckiness probably belong in a world of suckiness. Java should be...

This is true, but my point was it wasn't strictly necessary (you'd have a limited kernel though, depending on what your...
>1) The runtime has to run the contructors of global class instances.
I'm not disputing it. I just couldn't see what the problem was. You're just having to insert the code that a C++ compiler...

Alright, I'll offer an olive branch in this thread of rudeness and say I'm sorry. I'll remember this lesson. It may be easy to dismiss someone with a harsh reply in order to take out ones own...
>He's retarded, let him be as rude as he wants <
I'm not stopping him. Are you his helper?
You're just too damn rude.
>There's a limit to how far you can stretch something to get a flame going...weak attempt.<
So weak it got a response? Anway it wasn't meant as a flame; maybe you are a retard though?
>You're corroding the human soul, and taking away other peoples' self-esteem to inflate yours...<
Isn't that what this whole thread is about, retard?

edit by Govtcheez: sorry joe - I feel the same way, but please don't bypass the lang filter.

Code has to be inserted to call constructors and destructors. The bog standard C runtime uses a...
