To my eyes, that code looks more readable than the template/macro mess that is the stdlib header files on VS.
Well that was a quick n bad example. When you look at a real project, it seriously burns your eyes. But like you said, nothing beats Macros & templates in C++ ^^

have you ever seen the stdlib header files that come with VS? X|

In most cases it turns out that I just have to write 'delete oSomeStuff' instead of 'someStuff.Dispose()'. If that's all.
I was going to comment on that, turns out i'm not the only one who thinks that way :laugh:

Speaking of skills I had once learned, I find myself coding in C++ again for the Beaglebone Black. While it's a nostalgic experience, I really, really, don't miss it. It's as if someone were to give me back my first car in the same condition it was in when I gave it away. Functional, does the job, etc., but old and clunky. Oh, and have I said before how I loathe Eclipse? Indeed I have. Unfortunately, the Eclipse IDE just adds to the annoyance of working in C++. For $350, this[^] is becoming more and more attractive.

I'd suggest you take a look at Code::Blocks. It's my favorite C++ IDE, it's multiplatform and really easy to use.

Unless you're also doing C++ for Android, it looks like the $220 or even $110 versions should do everything you'd need; while being a good bit easier on the wallet.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint.

I agree Eclipse does really suck, what little I've done on BBB has been using it and C++. I guess that one reason I haven't done a lot with the BBB. As far as C++ I've been writing code encouraging the old embedded C programmers to convert but I tried that 20 some odd years ago at a place I worked and I met resistance at every turn and eventually gave up. Given C or C++ I'll take C++ every time.
As I grow older I've found that pleasing everyone is impossible but pissing everyone off is a piece of cake.
Do whatever you may desire with C++,AND THIS is the beauty of the language. Hey C++, I wanna come back to you, but this world is not allowing me to have the comfort, that you give to me. I literally hate this garbage collection concept, be it Java or C#.

I've programmed in both, in fact, I cut my teeth on C++, programmed in it exclusively for over 15 years and I really like the language. But I also have, in more recent years, spent most of my time doing C#, it has much to offer. And I've grown used to they way things are done in C#, so now I find myself wishing C++ would do some things the C# way --sometimes-- and other times, I wish for C# to adopt some C++ isms. Almost sounds like I'm talking about "D". Maybe I should make a "D++" language. We could always use another... :rolleyes:
