Thank you Hongli Lai  I will wait for the beta 3

I think generally if a question isn't answered it is because nobody knows the answer, which I think
is a good idea. If I don't know an answer, then instead of giving the person wrong or useless
information, then I just don't answer. If someone doesn't get any response at all then remember that
the web is a wonderful thing, and there is bound to be information out there that answers your
question.

Remember all support is voluntary, and it takes time and effort to provide accurate information and
e-mails like this.

Also there are newsgroups available that also have people who are willing to answer C++ (but not
necessarily Dev-C++) questions, and there is bound to be someone who can answer your specific
problem. I think there is a gcc community who are willing to answer questions to do the compiler,
etc...

Sometimes people do ask a question about a problem without truly trying to solve it for themselves.
I know that a newbie can't always spot what seems obvious to me and others, but sometimes a little
effort and investigation with a good reference will sort things out.

Then there is the mailer who says something doesn't work, and doesn't give any information (usualy
code) for anyone to look at. At the other end of the spectrum is the coder who posts an entire
application when a problem is only on one class or function. However enough of my rant, I'm sorry
that you feel that you aren't getting any support from this little community, we do try!

I do not appreciate the way he has chosen to show his discomfort, but I really agree with his
disappointment. The program (althought it is just a mere front-end) is ok, the community is support
is (to say the least) weak. Questions aren't usually answered; programming questions are blatantly
ignored. Sure, nobody paid for it and no support is guaranteed. But that's just what users are
getting: no support at all.

Yes!! Let us all pay hundreds (if not thousands) of dollars (or monetary unit of your choice) for an
old, ANSI noncompliant, Micro$oft product, and not use Dev-C++ for absolutely free(!)

Jason.

PS: for those of you who missed it; that was "sarcasm"! If you are from Wayne's World then pretend I
said "not" at the end.

The way of removing yourself from the mailing list is to go to:
http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/dev-cpp-users

The bit you want is at the bottom of the page. You will need the password you used when you added
yourself to the mailing list, but you should be able to get a reminder if you have forgotten it.
Remember that if you use more than one e-mail address you will need to make sure that you enter the
correct one.

Remember to allow a few days for the removal to take effect, but if you still aren't removed after
that then you need to get in touch with one of the Dev-C++ administrators, who don't necessarily
read the mailing list everyday. Their address should be available from the Dev-C++ website or it's
sourceforge page.

Ahem... let me quote some text on that page:
"To change your subscription (set options like digest and delivery

Do you see this little link on the bottom of every message?

Draugas,
  Are sets in C++ or not? In Pascal sets are:

  Example:
  year =3D set of '1900' .. '2100';
  letter =3D set of 'a' .. 'z';
In a word, no. Take a look at enum. That is as close to pascal sets that =
I have found.=20

 Hi, all!

 Are sets in C++ or not? In Pascal sets are:

 Example:

 year = set of '1900' .. '2100';

Luigi,
  looking at some HTML files related to gcc 2.8.1 (I can't remember =
where I got them), I found the file attached to this mail, it explains =
how variable length arrays work (guess things are still valid for =
version > 2.8.1)
Thank you, thank you, thank you! In all my fumbling around I managed to =
miss the GNU online manual. It should be able to answer many of my past =
and future questions.=20
  Also I have tried the command:    gcc -ansi -pendantic -c vla.cpp=20
  where  - vla.cpp contains code posted by Bob Wilson in the first =
message of the thread
  - gcc is the version 2.95.2 19991024 (the one shipped with Dev-C++ =
4.0) and it gives the expected warning
Again, thank you or perhaps I should say "grazie."

Hello:

How do I unsubscribe my e-mail from the list?
I don't want to block incoming devcpp e-mails.
I e-mailed web...@bl...
and dev...@li...
with no success. The page from sourceforge
(https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/dev-cpp-users)
does not have any instructions on this.

If anyone still has the initial confimation e-mail
the list server sends, could you tell me
what instructions are said there (if any)?

I would appreciate any help you can give.

hardware is constructed today."

No, well...no..um...o.k., in short I think what you want to do is
something like this:

void function(int, float);

This function prototype will take an int and double.

Now overload it:

void function(float, float, float);

Notice that both these functions are called 'function'.  You must give
them the SAME name but different parameters.  The compiler will know
which function to call depending on the parameters.  If I call:

function(32,3.0);

the compiler will use the first function.  However, if I call:

function(32.1,33.4.92.923);

the compiler will automatically call the second function.  Isn't it
wonderfull?!

Got it?

You can specify different return types but in order to overload a
function you MUST give them the same name and you MUST give them
different parameters (different types and/or numbers).

Hope that helps.

lol I love this, can't wait for the FINAL NOTICE and "compensation for using

Not sure about ilx.com but try blocking the Dev emails if they bother you, 
that's what most ppl have done.

If you're developing windows applications use VC++. 6.0 is old so look for 
7.0.
I had to upgrade from DEV to VC++ to do directx applications as the old DEV 
wouldn't handle anything more than the basic dx apps.

templates have to be declared differently in VC++ which is a pain.
But there are loads of great features for developing windows applications. 
But if you're just doing console work, stick to DEV.

What is even funnier is he is already using an out-of-date compiler/IDE
(VC++ .NET is the newest and greatest).  And to boot, MS want's to move
from MFC to .NET (their words, not mine. And I won't argue about how
much MFC is in .NET, nor how many scoops of raisens in every box of
raisen bran, nor how many licks it takes to get to the center of a
tootsie pop).  Sigh...when will they learn.  They always come crawling
back. 
After spending the past month in VC++ .NET it was such a breath of fresh
air to fire up DevC++ for some REAL C++ programming.  I would break out
into some poetry about DevC++ but I am at work and my boss said 'no' to
any sort of poetry, especially about my compilers and IDEs.

b--

p.s. 1.5 (not 2) scoops and 39.3 licks.

I can only compare with Visual C++ Version 6.0 ( I've heard there is
a 7.0 version, but I'm not sure)

The 6.0 version is FAR behind GNU's g++ with respect to conformance to
the C++ standard. E.g. namespaces (especially namespace std) which I
teach my students from the very beginning are not (right) supported by
Visual C++. I remember there are other oddities.
So, I wouldn't recommend this (rather old) compiler for learning (true)
C++.

Actually, I am told that the full switch is: -ansi -pedantic-errors (but
the person who told me this may simply be a pedant himself:)

I didn't know this even existed.  C99 allowed it in block scope (as
opposed to mint flavored) but that supposedly made the code non-portable
to c++ which brings up two things:
a.  I would hate to be the winner that got to port a huge c project to
c++,
b.  If I had to move a large, real life C++ project from any other
compiler to VC++ I think that the variable array would be the least of
my worries.

In fact, the only reason I can see (at this point) of porting from gnu
to MS...er...O.k., I can't see one.  Oh! Yea, it would be if I had to
use the .NET stuff in VC++ 7.  And anyone who has worked with VC++ .NET
will wonder (as I did) if that can constitute C++ programming at all
since microsoft isn't the king of "embrace and enhance" for nothing.

 the error. That is the second and most serious problem I have found with t=

I'm currently at university doing a comp. sci. course, and they've 
recommended we get out hands on the student version of Visual C++. This 
of course costs money that I'd rather not spend.

Up until now, I've been working in Dev C++ for all the assignments 
they've set, however I was wondering if there is any major functional 
differences between the two (I doubt we'll do anything requiring a GUI 
this semester, and next semester we use CodeWarrior on Linux), apart 
from the price difference, what benefits does Dev have over Visual? I'm 
gonna need to pass this by the lecturers and I'd like to have *some* 
idea of what I'm talking about :)

Thanks.

 Yes !  I also have exactly this problem.  I logged a fault about this on
the SourceForge site, and received an email from there soon after, saying it
was closed ( see request no.  548933 on the dev-cpp s/f site) .  So, we
should have more luck with the next release ... :-)
