Don't you just hate it when people "answer" a question with a
question?

What is it, Lassie? A boy fell down a mine shaft and
broke his ankle and is diabetic and needs insulin? Is
THAT what you're trying to tell me?

There isn't one. At least, not yet.

IMO the best teachers answer students' questions with
questions. This method forces the student to *think*
instead of asking for knowledge to be handed to them.
The former incites real learning, the other often only
'memorization'.

So what was Lassie's question?

"At least, not yet." - are they thinking about adding one?

As I understand it, one of the goals of the C++0x standardization
project is to improve comparibility with C, including C99. This may
include adding a <cstdint> header to the language.

Yes, but that only works if the answer can be thought out itself in the
first place.

"What makes you think you can?"

TR1, which has already been approved (as a non-normative addition
to the C++ Standard) includes a <cstdint> header along with
<stdint.h> and all the other C99 additions to the Standard C
library. One of these days, Real Soon Now (TM), you'll be able
to get a library that has it from our web site.

I agree. But that only works if the response question
actually leads to the answer to the original question. In
this case, John Carson's answer contains no useful
information and is just plain rude IMHO. If he knew that
there were no such file, he should have just said so; or
if he didn't know then he shouldn't have posted.
