You cannot be serious!
Go back and check your facts before posting potentially inflamatory
questions. Hints:
- it's Brian W. Kernighan and Dennis M. Ritchie
- C++ is /not/ an extension, it's a /different/ programing language
- VC++ is not /just/ and IDE
- look up Bjarne Stroustrup (in connection with C++)
If you research this properly, you'll have your answer. To do that,
you'll have to learn a few things about both C and C++. Right now, you
obviously know nothing about either.
Also, be more careful with your spelling. I'm sure that dmr wouldn't
appreciate being "rebranded" : it's Ritchie -- not Richie, it's Dennis
-- not Denis; and I don't even want to go into your not properly
capitalising people's names. BTW, sentences, in general, also begin
with a capital letter.

Dennis Ritchie and Brian Kernighan.
(Note that the cover of their famous book
lists their name in the opposite order).
C++ is only an extension to C
Absolutely not correct. C++ is a *different* programming
language (whose design was indeed influenced by C)
with some extra added features
C++ adds *nothing* to C. It is a *different* language.
and VC++
provides an IDE for programming.
And much, much more.
still C is not obselete.
Of course not.
why?
The television receiver was invented after the radio receiver.
They use very similar technology. Yet radio is not obsolete.
Why?
They are similar, but *different* things, each more suitable for
a particular task.
please
answer to make me a clear view about C.
You can get a clear view of what C is and is not by
reading a good C textbook. I recommend the one authored
by the two gentlemen I mentioned above. Google can easily
find vendors.
I suggest you check your facts before forming conclusions
about them.

The latter was involved, as far as i know, only in the production of
the book, not in the design of the language itself.

Evergreen? Is that another way of saying "old"?

ITYM Dennis Ritchie.

Uh, no. The bulk of C++ is derived from C, but there are fundamental
differences between the two languages. It's not just a matter of some
added features.

Same reason Fortran is still not obsolete; there are times when it's
still the best tool for the job.

answer to make me a clear view about C.
In mathematical terms, C++ is not a superset of C because there are some C
programs which are not legal C++ programs.
However for our purposes what you say is nearly true.
So the reason for not having the C++ extensions isn't purely technical. It
is psychological. It is a lot easier to write bad C++ programs than it is to
write bad C programs.
By rejecting the C++ extensions, at a stoke you make your job of writing an
understandable, efficient, and correct program that much simpler.
It is not always the case, of course. Some programs are easier to write in
C++, because the C++ extensions express the relationships between your data
items better than a purely procedural / simple data structure program can.
The British army recently ordered some rifles. They came with burst /
single shot modes. The army had them modifed to get rid of the automatic
fire option, reasoning that soldiers would, in the heat of battle, waste all
their ammunition. Having an option isn't always better.
Malcolm a écrit : So the reason for not having the C++ extensions isn't purely technical. It

I doubt that.
As in C++, you shouldn't do memory management (at least for containers),
it is less likely that you will run into buffer overflow issues. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics | |

I was debating with my friend on how to make a class final as in java,
where it can't be further derived but instatiated. So I search the net
and found to do so. Make a base class which has constructor private.
And a Final class inheriting from it privately.
// Code snippet
class FinalBase
{
FinalBase() {}
friend class Final;
};

Hi All,
I am a veteran C/C++ programmer (Unix background) and I want to get to

I have legacy C/C++ code that I want to use in my application. However,
I'm not sure how to call my native C++ functions from my C++ DLLs. The
confusion is this: I currently have Visual Studio 2003 it is not clear
whether I should use managed extensions or C++/Interop?
