Dear all,
Despite a good few hours of googling, I have been unable to find out
what the standard C++ libraries are for handling directories and getting
a list of the files inside them.
I am using the mingw c++ compiler on a windows machine to write a
console application. system("mkdir blah") calls aren't what I need
because I need return values to check for things going wrong.
It's the sort of thing that's easy if you know the answer, but
impossible if you don't...
Thanks,
Jamie

C++ only has one standard library, and that doesn't provide any
functionality for directory handling.

console application. system("mkdir blah") calls aren't what I need
because I need return values to check for things going wrong.

You have to use system-specific functions, or maybe boost helps.

See http://www.boost.org/libs/filesystem/doc/index.htm for a portable, and
IMHO, the best solution.

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
