How Long??

First of all thanx for the massive help with all questions i've posted
on this group.

I am slowly but surely moving on with vb.net and constantly reading this
newsgroup but I'm sorry as I'm still not even close to having the
ability to answer questions on this newsgroup.

Now i was just wondering how long will the newsgroup hold our posts
for?? I'm sure it won't be stored here perpetually? but how long does
the server keep the posts active for??

Thanx a lot

Hi Radith,

That depends on the newsserver you are user. However it stays very long.
For sending and reading purpose it is on the microsoft newsserver two month
for this newsgroup.
For reading you can use Google, that seems to stay forever.

I hope this helps?

That depends on the news server. news.microsoft. com will keep them for
some weeks, some other news servers may keep them longer. In the Google
Groups Archive (<URL:http://groups.google.c om/>) messages are stored for
ten years (I read somewhere), but AFAIS they are stored even longer.

It's knowledge, so there is no reason to throw it away after some weeks.

How is a 64 bit type defined in strict C++? It seems C has support for 'long long' since C99, but not so for C++? Looking through one compiler vendor's standard library headers has clouded the issue somewhat; it uses __int64 in some places (with a comment about strict) but freely uses 'long long' in other places. In any case, these standard library headers are supposed to be 'standard' w.r.t. C and C++ aren't they? How can a standard...

Hello, I have a variable of type unsigned long. It has a number of bits set (with set I mean they equal one). I need to determine those bits and their position and create new numbers from them. For example, consider this four-bit number: 1100 from this number I want to extract two numbers: 1000 and 100 had the four-bit number been 0101 I would want to extract 100 and 1. How should I do this? I wish I had some code to post but I don't...

Problem: find a portable way to determine whether a compiler supports the "long long" type of C99. I thought I had this one solved with the following code: #include <limits.h> #ifdef ULONG_LONG_MAX

Is the unsigned long long primitive data type supported in ANSI standard C? I've tried using it a couple of times in standard C, but to no avail. I'm using both MS VIsual C++ 6, as well as the gcc compiler that comes with RedHat linux 9. If not, what data type will yield the largest unsigned integer for me? Thanks for your help,

I maintain/enhance some inherited FOSS software in C which has compiler options for quite a few different Unix-like operating systems, many of which I've never even heard of. It would be convenient (and for some things possibly necessary) to use long long integer and/or unsigned long long integer variables. How widely supported are these variable types? How long ago were they introduced? I notice they are not mentioned in K&R #2.

Hi, I have an integer value which is very long like 9987967441778573855. Now I want to convert it into equivalent Hex value. The result must be 8A9C63784361021F I have used sprintf(pHex,"%0X",9987967441778573855). But it only returns 8

Hi, In python, triple quote (""") can be used to quote a paragraph (multiple lines). I'm wondering if there is any equivalent in C++. For the following code, I could write the long string in a single line with "\n" in the middle, or I could use multiple cout and endl. But I just feel more readable if I can have the whole paragraph as a string. Thanks,

I need a >49 bit integer type. tried sizeof(long long), says 8. 8 byte = 64 bit right? but when I try to assign a value with more than 32 bit, it fails. To illustrate: for (i=0; i<64; i++){ long long int k = 1<<i; cout<<i<<"\t"<<k<<"\t"<<sizeof(k)<<"\n"; }

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...
