I need pointers

[jbailo]

I've been working on my
gcc/Gtk+ application and
realized how much I need
pointers. String manipulation
in c is so beautiful and
elegant and fast -- its
way above all the dum-dum
'methods' of semi-script
languages such as c#.

'safe code' is not code in
the same way that Equal is
not sugar and diet soda is
not soda.

Frankly, I hate working with strings in C. The main reason is that I
don't like putting arbitrary limits on the length of string I'll accept,
and keeping those limits throughout. The alternative is to dynamically
allocate. And that sucks too, because as you pass strings around, you
have to remember who can delete them. C++ strings, or scripting language
strings, are better.

Hey,

Bailo - how many times to I have to point out to you that C# does have
pointers. Are you stupid or what? Topics to look at in the help -
unsafe, fixed, sizeof, etc.

If you really think that you need to target the addressing mechanism of the
machine, then use unsafe code. The idea of insulating the developer from
this low level tedium is because working at that level requires care with
the manual labor so that things always work right. Unsafe code will expose
the pointers that you love.
