Very Stupid C++ Question	by greyhat	2003-02-09 14:52:50
Umm....What exactly are you trying.	by Avium	2003-02-09 15:05:58
Heres what I basically figured out:	by greyhat	2003-02-09 16:18:32
I'm not immolating...yet. ;-)	by Avium	2003-02-09 16:50:00
I don't use the string class myself because it's not very widely supported. Most (if not all) API calls expect and return character arrays so you can't mix things written using the string class with anyone else's API's. Which makes reading a database using strings damn near useless. ;-) Another thing is the fact that all system calls in NIX are C based. You wind up having to write translation functions to call before making the system call. That means there's an extra step involved before the work gets done. Another problem is the implimentations. Code written to use the C++ string class can sometimes be difficult to port. Different NIX systems (and libs) seem to have implemented it slightly differently, if they supported it at all. Of course, since I do this for a living, I might be taking it a little more seriously than I need too. :-P BTW, you should probably add a << endl before the ; on your couts to get the linefeed. cout << "Hello world!" << endl;
