[Dev-C++] ANN: dev_star / Q: getline with std::string

[Abhijit S. <mu...@gm...>]

Hello, everyone.

  I have written a small utility called dev_star that allows Dev-C++ to use
any C/C++ compiler.
It does this by mapping the command-line and capturing the stdout/stderr of
the target compiler. It then sends the captured data to a plug-in, which
formats it so that Dev-C++ can parse it.

  I myself use only MinGW32, but I think this tool can be useful. I need
people to write maps and plug-ins for compilers, and also to actually _test_
the thing out. If any of you have the time, visit the page:

  Please report any suggestions, bug-fixes, etc. to me. TIA for your time.

  The program itself was inspired by a similar one by Luigi Santillo, called
dev_bor, which was specific to Borland's free package.

  Related to that, I'd also like to ask the list why stream.getline(foo)
doesn't seem to work when foo is a string. Is there another way to do this?
