What you are doing invokes undefined behaviour.
As soon as you are using an optimising compiler, there are excellent
chances that your code will run into serious trouble.
For example, optimising compilers will often keep all the members of a
struct in registers; so whether a program uses your "vector" or three
doubles would make no difference. Since you take the address of v.x,
the compiler could decide to put v.x into memory, and v.y and v.z into
two floating-point registers. Your loop prints v.x plus the contents
of the memory following it, instead of v.y and v.z. This is legal and
correct under the "as if" rule.

I find it interesting that Twink's initial guess at the pretentious
insistence on the Irish spelling (which IS a pain the arse for non
unicode compliant newreaders and browsers) was actually quite
correct. As an Irish man myself I would like to distance myself and
others from the ridiculously blatant hatred and racism shown by Tomas
above. It is a sad reflection on current life in Ireland that the boom
in immigration has revealed many people to be worse than those (the
English) they have criticised for so many years.

Can the Roma properly be called as immigrants? One would've thought that
they have a presence in Ireland for at least a few centuries now.

I believe Thomas was directing his racist rant against immigrant Roma
gypsies specifically, rather than the home-grown/naturalized Irish
tinkers.

I've just been back from that shop I was in and my mate had a look
over the cameras with me. I put the object on the roof of my car as I
was talking to the gypsie, and as I turned around to unlock my door he
swiped it an put it in his coat. The camera shows it clearly.

Not allegedly, definitely. Witnessing their thievery first-hand was
the straw that broke the camel's back. Up until then I was well aware
of their reputation as being a dirty filthy race of people, but the
idea hadn't been cemented in my mind as I hadn't witnessed it first-
hand.

If I'd been robbed by a German I would _not_ have tarred them all with
the same brush. Same goes for an American. Or a Japanese person.
Roma gypsies are a different animal altogether.

People have prejudices for a reason. If I had no prejudice, I'd be
robbed daily. From now on, I won't allow a Roman gypsie within a foot

The word "bigot" isn't used by my generation, I had to look it up. I
got the following definition from the internet:
"A person who is utterly intolerant of any differing creed, belief, or

Whether I am tolerant of a particular people depends entirely on the
people in question. Does that not make perfect sense? I know all kinds
of people, all different nationalities and religions. I know
Catholics, Muslims, Sikhs, Hindus, a few other religions. I know
blacks, whites, asians. I know Nigerians, Scottish, Americans, French,
Germans, Belgians. My college was full of all sorts of people from all
different backgrounds, and I got on fine with all of them.
Of all the races, creeds, religions, nationalities, what have you, in
the world, I'm prejudiced against one sole group: Roma gypsies, and
it's purely from my own personal experience with them.
That's a pretty good "tolerance track record" if you ask me. And it's
not like I'm about to start a campaign for Ethnic cleansing... I'm
just not going to let a Roma gypsie near me ever again. If they come
within a metre, I'll raise my fist out in front of them and tell them
to get away from me. If they proceed further, they're going home with
less teeth. I think that's the fairest I can be about it.
I suggest you drop the racism, for your own sake. Hatred is not good for you.
Thanks for the advice, and I agree with it. But having all the warmth
in the world in my hearth won't stop Roma gypsies from exploiting
their kids and robbing me.
I don't so much have a hatred for them, I just view them as a dirty

I have nothing to say to you in private. It seems clear that there isn't much

The word "bigot" isn't used by my generation,
Am I that old? Well, back in the 80's I found that a word I knew well
and understood was not known by someone only a year younger than me, so
perhaps it is just my background.
I had to look it up. I
got the following definition from the internet:
"A person who is utterly intolerant of any differing creed, belief, or

Another definition is "a person obstinately or intolerantly devoted to
his or her own opinions and prejudices; especially : one who regards or
treats the members of a group (as a racial or ethnic group) with hatred
and intolerance". Note that this definition does not specify *all* other
groups, just one. In that respect it meets the usage that I know.

My experience is that is is modern "travellers " who are the problem not
real gypsies. However, I am certain that it is not all "travellers " just
as I am certain that the bigoted opinion some people I know have against
the people of India is in general wrong.

(paragraph 1 of section 6.5.3.4).

I thought I would write a little article about this because it is regularly asked as a question in the Forums.
Firstly this is a C++ issue, it is strictly against the rules of C to create a class with no members. This makes sense because the only real use for a structure or class with no data members and virtual functions is as the base from which to derive other classes and structures or as a container for non-virtual methods.
