My apologies if this gets asked/discussed a lot. With c# rampaging through
corporate USA (and other countries), what impact will this have on the usage
and future of c++? I've used both of them a bit. I'm in school, and our CS
program does not use c#, but uses mostly c++ and a bit of java. C# is
relegated ot the CIS programs. Out there in the real world, what kind of a
future does c++ have?

From an embedded developer point of view:
C#? What is a "C#"? Is it edible?
How could I identify one if a ever see it?

Will getting a decent proficiency in C++ help me learn JAVA, C# or
python more quickly
Yes.
or will I have to start from scratch when I get to
those languages?
I guess the analogy would be if one knows how to drive a car it will be
relatively easier to learn to drive a big Trailer........
If you really want a leg up, learn assembler. Knowing how the underlying
machine works will help you immeasurably in learning and effectively
using any programming language.

It's moved up to #19 now. That means it has quite a lot of activity

Would you kindly take this discussion elsewhere? If you really want a leg up, learn assembler. Knowing how the
underlying
machine works will help you immeasurably in learning and effectively
using any programming language.
You ment that cynically, but I agree. If you know about assembler, you
can optimize smal code portions more efficiently. However, if this
really pays these days is another question...

I didn't mean it cynically at all. As to whether it pays or not, that
depends on if you're willing to settle for second rate or not <g>. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics | |

I can't stand OOP. Yes, it is beautiful in theory, and it might make

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
