Bad logic.

um, actually not. Your logic must be worse than mine then because your not
following the logic of his comment.
He said that if you want to make your code "truely" protable then you must
remove the stdafx header... true enough, but he is implying this is basicaly
the only cause, that it is so signficant that all other issues of
portability are inconsequential. This is simply not true, as if it was the
only portability issue then its not even an issue since its so easy to fix.
i.e., its very simple. Why would someone making such an issue out of
something thats so easy to change? I'm sure if the OP ever wanted to make
his code portable he wouldn't have that big a deal with the stdafx... take a
few mins to fix at most. Oh but I'm sure its not possible he could have
some real portability problems that might take him hours to fix or even
longer?
The fact is that he's only bitching about it because he doesn't like
microsoft and he wants to make it an issue with everyone that does(not that
I do). Instead of ignoring it since it has nothing to do with the actual
question(well, it could, say, if there are a lot of headers included in the
stdafx that were not mentioned but still).
So, heres some logic that I guess you won't understand? Since you are
"sticking up" for him you too must hate microsoft? (and I bet you my
conclusion is right wether you agree with my logic or not).
I mean, I just don't really see why you guys who surely must hold your time
valuable would bitch about something that is irrelevant to the problem asked
when it can simply be ignored or a 5 word sentence can be used to say its
not a good idea. What this implies is there is some alterior reason why
someone would take some extra time to make it an issue.
Now I could understand if the OP asked "MY CODE ISN'T COMPILING IN GC++
PLEASE HELP!!" but when he is asking for something completely different and
the solution to the problem is irrelevant to his code being portable and
also the "tone" that is used then I can only come to trhee conclusions:
either he's just very arrogant and has a huge ego and likes to find ways to
let it be known, he is obsessed with portability, or he just hates anything
that has to do with microsoft and anyone that uses a microsoft product.
I'll bet its a combination of the first and last but thats just my guess.
The problem I have with it, and its not alterior, is that I assume this
group is suppose to be a support group and the whole point is to help if you
want. Help != Throwing in your own egotistical comments that are irrelevant
to the solution. So I think its fair game to be bitched at if you think its
go to bitch at someone. If you are going to combine your help with an
attitude then I think your deserve what you get. I don't know what happend
to this NG but it used to be so much better.
Anyways, I got better things to do than talk about this crap.
