Yes, if he has a working compiler and he tests his code for abnormal situations. The problem with the bad code referenced in this thread earlier is that that guy learned C++ from a book, skipped some pages, and has no working compiler to test his code before pressing the "Send" button. And a good book may be not useful if the guy uses a pre standard compiler.
