> Yes, a LANGUAGE. Not any library written in or for it, except for the
standard library, since it's part of the language.
See http://www.parashift.com/c++-faq-lit...t.html#faq-5.9 which
is part of the official FAQ to this group (and one should actually
always have a look into the FAQ of a group or at least read a bit in
that group before posting)
Touche. I guess I'll just have to be the dissenting voice against what has
been accepted as rule here. It's obnoxious to be told you can't ask a
quorum of knowledgable C++ programmers if they know of any __C++__ libraries
so you can perform an operation not available with the standard libraries.
That said, I hope he found what he was looking for -- I was able to suggest
a starting place.
More or less, Michael was asking
what libraries were available to help him in what he wanted to do.
That hasn't anything to do with implementing the language, so what's
your point?
Sure it does. C++ doesn't have any built-in functions dealing with MIDI and
he needed to know what he needed so he _could_ do it with C++. The library
he finds should be written in C++ and his own application will extend off of
that.
To clear things up, I applauded Victor for trying to point Michael in the
right direction. My objection is when posters reject questions related to
C++ as off topic because they require non-standard convensions. If Michael
was asking how to install his sound card, I'd agree with you. However, he
wanted to figure out how to manipulate MIDI in a program written in C++.
Comp.lang.c++ is a natural place to seek out such an answer. Even if the
group's FAQ deems it "off topic" I encourage any question that's related to
programming in C++ (whether standard or not) and if you guys refuse to help,
I'll do my best to compensate for your unwillingness.
