You may find something useful by googling "unix vs windows"
or "linux vs windows", I remember there are chapters
on that subject in Wikipedia. In the same vein, you'll
find in Wikipedia comparisons of languages or file systems.
But they are merely anecdotal, the choice really is up
to you: what kind of application, which customers, etc.

bestest language, ever!!1!1!

A C compiler is a macro-assembler :-)

Given that Unix is mostly implemented in C, most of the system
internals look a lot like regular C library calls (same naming
conventions, data types, etc.). I remember having to call some VMS
internals from C, and that required a bit of translation from C data
types to native VMS structures (I remember having to set up a lot of
descriptors). Similarly, the bindings between other languages and the
Unix internals isn't so seamless.

advantage of returning values through the argument list

by: Siemel Naran | last post by:

Hi. I have found one advantage of returning values through the argument list. It's that we have to store the return value. But when we return by value, we may forgot to store the return value. Consider, void f(int x, int& i); int i, j; f(1, i);

public inheritance wth advantage and disdvantage

by: Tony Johansson | last post by:

Hello experts! My question is what advantage and disadvantage have public inheritance. The answer that I have to this is that sometimes it is an advantage to let a client have access to everything declared in the public section of the derived class and the base class and sometimed it is an disadvantage. Another important advantage is that wherever you can use an object of base class you can also use an object of it's derived class...

What's advantage of CollectionBase?

by: Samuel R. Neff | last post by:

What's the advantage of inheriting from CollectionBase as opposed to just implementing IList? It seems that it saves you from having to implement a few properties (Clear, CopyTo, Count, GetEnumerator, and RemoveAt) but the way it implements all the other things you need to override seems overkill and counters the advantage of having an extensible base class. For example, the documentation example implementation of Remove: Public...

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.
