What a Funny Goup! I Asked a Question About Boost (C++ Filesystem Interface) & All I Got Is: My Question Is Irrelevant!

I think that everyone who told me that my question is irrelevant,
in particular Mr. David White,
is being absolutely ridiculous. Obviously, most of you up here
behave like the owners of the C++ language. A C++ interface
installation IS ABOUT THE C++ LANGUAGE! The language
does not possess the ability to handle even simple file directory
manipulation.
Those wise people that created it did not take care of it. So, BOOST
is a portable interface that contains a FILESYSTEM for handling
files and directories in the C++ LANGUAGE!
Now, where are you coming from telling me that a question about the
installation of such an important interface does not belong to this
group? Where did you learn logic? In a mental institution?
Also, you are wasting a lot of bandwidth with your childish responses
about relevance or irrelevance. Do you tell CNN to stop bothering you
with its commercials every 3 minutes? Sure you do, pseudo-elitists!
Either answer the question I posed up here, or MOVE ON TO THE NEXT
MESSAGE! You are flooding the newsgroup with trivial and unnecessary
messages. YOU do that, not me!

Oh, really? So, this your message qualifies as necessary and
non-trivial? And if you are not told that your posting about
a product installation is irrelevant in a non-product newsgroup,
how would you know to stop posting irrelevant messages? Where
did _you_ learn logic?

Obviously, you do not know the answer to my question.
So, stop feeling compelled to respond. You just don't know

Keep up with that attitude and you're less likely to get help later if you
post a question that is on topic in the group.

You were offered advice ("look somewhere else, because this isn't the
place to get your question answered") and start complaining when it wasn't
the answer you wanted.

And your post was the one that was unnessesary,
because if you had done your homework (reading the faq) before posting you
would have known wou'd get no answer.
If you go into a grocery store to buy a hammer, and they tell you to go to
the hardware store, do you complain?

Atleast it appears that you caps-lock keys has become unstuck.

The only one reidiculous is you.
We already told you, that this group is about Standard C++
as defined by the ISO/ANSI standards document.
Obviously, most of you up here
behave like the owners of the C++ language.


No. But we know whats written in the standards document.
A C++ interface
installation IS ABOUT THE C++ LANGUAGE!


How can an installation be about a language.
A language is an abstract thing. Defined by some rules.
A product is an instantiation of those rules, in your case
the boost libraries. Your problem is with installing those
libraries, that is: making them usable in your system with your
particular compiler.

Installing a product can never be a language problem.
The language
does not possess the ability to handle even simple file directory
manipulation.
Those wise people that created it did not take care of it.


They did. But they decided to leave it out. They tried to leave
everything out, what is related to a specific operating system
and/or hardware. For the very same reason you will not find any
functions to control eg. a screen, a keyboard, device serial numbers,
etc. in standard C++.
So, BOOST
is a portable interface that contains a FILESYSTEM for handling
files and directories in the C++ LANGUAGE!


But Boost is just one library. There are hundreds other libraries out
there which do the same thing. None of them (including boost) is
part of Standard C++. That's why they are not topical in this group.
Now, where are you coming from telling me that a question about the
installation of such an important interface does not belong to this
group?


Because it doesn't. If you have problems in installing a specific
prodct, then the people maintaining that product are responsible for
that.
Where did you learn logic? In a mental institution?


Where did YOU learn logic? You intermix the terms 'language', 'product'
and 'installation' as it pleases you.
Also, you are wasting a lot of bandwidth with your childish responses
about relevance or irrelevance.


The only one wasting bandwith is you. You already have been told to
be off-topic. If I remember correctly you have even been told the
locations of the FAQ to inform yourself of what's on topic and what is not.
Do you tell CNN to stop bothering you
with its commercials every 3 minutes? Sure you do, pseudo-elitists!
Either answer the question I posed up here, or MOVE ON TO THE NEXT
MESSAGE! You are flooding the newsgroup with trivial and unnecessary
messages. YOU do that, not me!


Please. Stop beeing childish. The boost people maintain a message board
where they are more then happy to help you sorting out your problems
with yout installation. You already have been told that. There your
question IS on topic.

Dear Karl Heinz Buchegger:

Why do you waste bandwidth with your shows of ignorance?
Since you don't know the answer to my question, why don't you
just move on to the next message? Is it absolutely necessary
for you to send me messages that amount to nothing?
In any case, give my best regards to ... the sensible Austrians.

Please get it into your head: This is a newsgroup for Standard C++.
Yes standard C++ lack[1] some things and that is why there are lots and
lots of packages/libraries like boost. Questions regarding Boost is OT
here and so is questions about wxWindows, ACE, dbconnect, ptypes,
crypto++, botan, V, Fox, GTK, FLTK, Boehm and so on. If this group
should answer ALL C++ related question, there would be 1000 post pr day.
So please understand that boost is OT!

You're welcome.

You are correct I do not know the answer to you question, but if I did I
wouldn't give it to you.

You have just confirmed that you care nothing for what the people in this
group thinks is acceptable to post.

You post a question and complain loudly when people tell you how to get an
answer. If you decide to follow that advice I suggest you adjust your
attitude before you ask the boost people for help, unless you want them to
ignore your request for help.
I wouldn't be surprised if there are people that read this group AND the
boost mailinglist that will choose not to help you if you should choose to
ask your question in the appropriate forum.

post but I am positive someone (probably most) could indeed help you but
this is not on topic here. I am sure they would have instructed you that
you were off topic and I am sure that at least some of them would have told
you a more appropriate newsgroup to post your answer to.
As for me not knowing, that is possible, if it has anything to do with
Microsoft, I will know but that is the platform I develop for. Not everyone
here develops for MS, infact I guarantee there are some people here that
develop for hardware that you have never heard of.

Allan,

Since you can't answer the question, why don't you just SHUT UP?
If you all had done that, there would be only one message: mine.
Is it very hard for you to understand such trivialities? Of course it
is humorous! A bunch of so-called C++ specilaists CANNOT READ THE
FILENAMES of a DIRECTORY! Quite humorous!


No, it's quite logical. C++ has no directory facilites,
so why should one expect a C++ specialist to know something
that's not part of C++? And *you* lecture *us* about 'logic'.

Mike,

Logic IS my profession. Your response is idiotic.
C++ specialists should know how to read the filenames of
a directory. A million things are associated with this process.
You might want to change strings in large numbers of files, delete
strings, add strings between words, transfer files, copy files,
unzip files, rename files, etc., etc.
BOOST is a filesystem that allows you to use your current
C++ compiler to manipulale directories. Why don't you familiarize
yourself with BOOST before you start barking at other people?

Mike,

Thanks for the chuckle.
Your response is idiotic.
You said that before. But not why.
C++ specialists should know how to read the filenames of
a directory.
Why? C++ has no directory facilities.
A million things are associated with this process.
Doesn't matter how many things. C++ is not one of them.
I'm citing *facts*, which I can support, to which you
only respond with attacks upon my intelligence. This is
very telling.
You might want to change strings in large numbers of files, delete
strings, add strings between words, transfer files, copy files,
unzip files, rename files, etc., etc.
All of those things can be done with standard C++. What
cannot be done is the (necessarily platform-specific)
interfacing with directory structure.
BOOST is a filesystem that allows you to use your current
C++ compiler to manipulale directories.
I know what 'boost' is and does. It is certainly not a
filesystem. It's a third-party library for use with C++
applications. It supports most C++ implementations. My
'current' compiler may or may not be supported, you
don't know.
Why don't you familiarize
yourself with BOOST
I know what boost is. I've spent considerable time at
its web site, reading the code as an educational tool.
So far, I haven't had occasion to actually use it.
If I do, I know where to get information about how to
install, configure and use it. And so do you (you've
been told many times, but appear more interested
in arguing).
before you start barking at other people?


What barking? I tried to rationally explain how your
efforts here are pointless. Notice I did not make any
personal attacks upon you, as you've done with everyone
who responds to your messages with accurate answers.

I think that everyone who told me that my question is irrelevant,
in particular Mr. David White,
is being absolutely ridiculous. Obviously, most of you up here
behave like the owners of the C++ language. A C++ interface
installation IS ABOUT THE C++ LANGUAGE! The language
does not possess the ability to handle even simple file directory
manipulation.
Those wise people that created it did not take care of it. So, BOOST
is a portable interface that contains a FILESYSTEM for handling
files and directories in the C++ LANGUAGE!
Now, where are you coming from telling me that a question about the
installation of such an important interface does not belong to this
group? Where did you learn logic? In a mental institution?
Also, you are wasting a lot of bandwidth with your childish responses
about relevance or irrelevance. Do you tell CNN to stop bothering you
with its commercials every 3 minutes? Sure you do, pseudo-elitists!
Either answer the question I posed up here, or MOVE ON TO THE NEXT

messages. YOU do that, not me!

I totally agree with you.
I think we should start a trend, and flood this newsgroups with a

relevance message.

The topic police do more harm then good. They make the newsgroups
less enjoyable, less productive, and less interactive.

I've seen questioners kicked around from one newsgroups to another
just because some narrow minded topic police idiots thought a question
was not narrowly focus enough for their particular newsgroups.

If you topic police narrow minded morons want a newsgroups with such a
narrow focus, why don't you just move to the moderated C++ newsgroups?

I think this newsgroups should be preserved for those users who want
to talk about anything RELATED to C++.

This newsgroup is for discussion of *STANDARD* C++. Why is that so damn
difficult to understand? There have been a slew of great reasons posted

Have you ever thought that the reason the posts seem "narrow minded" as
you put it, is because the topic discussed here is in fact a narrow one,
and with good reason? That's the way we want it, and that's why this
newsgroup was created. Why is this so difficult to understand???

Why is it ridiculous to only discuss things which are meant to be

STANDARD C++ only. That is its purpose...and now instead of reading about
Standard C++, I have to read about people whining about why they can't

I see nothing wrong with having a 1000 post per day.

I would rather have one good newsgroups that covered C++ programming
in general, and be able to interact with all C++ programmers
regardless of their particular nitch.

As it is now, I have to scan through dozens of newsgroups to be able
to do that.

There are plenty of times in which I have a problem and I want an
answer from another C++ programmer, and not a generic programmer.

For example, if I need help developing an STMP class, I would not
prefer to go to an STMP group and get advise from a generic
programmer. I would rather get advise from another C++ programmer,
who would probably give me a solution that is better suited for my
language.

As it is, I can't ask such a question here, because the topic police
would jump on me like white on rice.

This is a ridiculous mentality to think that just because a topic is
not in the C++ standard, that it shouldn't be discuss here.


I totall agree that we need such a forum. I think it would be a great
help.. Unfortunately, this isn't it. We need someone to set up such a
forum, and to host it on their server for free. But, do you know any one
who wants to volunteer their resources for it?

Nope.

comp.std.c++ is for discussion of the C++ Standard.

comp.lang.c++ is for discussion of Standard C++.

There's a difference.

The first is for things like design rationales for the C++ Standard.

The second is for things like programming techniques and usage of the
libraries in Standard C++.

What an ignoramus you are.

I've programmed a Texas Instruments DSP chip - TMS320C25 and for the medical
instrument it controlled, there was no such thing as a file or directory,
only a screen, pressure gauge and some ports. Later a keyboard was added,
but it was not there to start with.

And I have friends who routinely use Intels 186 chip for embedded ROM work
and likewise files, keyboards, screens are optional.

Shows how much you know as to what C++ is put use to.
