Forum confusion
-
The C++/CLI and Visual C++ forums seem to have a lot "wrong forum" replies. C++/CLI would seem to be suggesting generic C++ ie including the STL and the command line interface and to be less MS orientated Visual C++ all things WIMP/MS Why then does the forum ATL/WTL/... (overtly Microsoft) then also have STL (which is inseparable from C++?) in its name? Sure it's a template library but it seems counter intuitive to mix it with the MS stuff :confused: Some respondents seem to have been a bit rude about their redirection suggestions which can also seem to be wrong!:doh: I am clearly not the only noob confused by this. Wouldnt C++/STL/CLI make more sense? Before you remove the splinter from your brothers eye... First remove the plank from your own!

C++/CLI is a new ECMA standard that represents a binding between ISO C++ and the Common Language Infrastructure. It's essentially the .NET enabled version of C++ available in VC++ 2005.

Well I did wonder... Okay then, so that helps me individually but what about other confused postees wondering where to put their stuff without causing the 'regulars' to cough up a fur ball and trial off on some unrelated thread about where a posting does/does not belong? (upto 12 nested levels of mud-slinging i've noted) :confused: I still think the C++ forum titles are a little confusing and practically opaque to the novice. Or are you going to tell me that if I cant figure out where put my post i'm too stupid to be on the site? Are you aiming to facilitate or humiliate?:suss:

I would to prefer to rename "Visual C++" to like: General C++ C++/MFC/Win32 C++ I think the second option would be better. I think if this is going to be renamed, then there "wouldn't" be any confusion, at least not right away
