But you don't need to write OO code just because you use C++. You can write code in C++ exactly the way you do it in C if you want. There is no advantage of C++ over C when used this way but no disadvantage either. I do agree that when the extra features of C++ are used this often results in bloated programs but this can at least in part be blamed on insufficiently skilled programmers. Note that C++ is not really an OO language. It is probably better to call it a language with support for object-oriented programming (as well as support for other programming styles.) -- <Insert your favourite quote here.> Erik Trulsson [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
