Quoting <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> from ml.softs.gtk-gnutella.devel: :Why not using C++ for GTK-G ?
Why using it? ;-) :I saw you were using such notation '[object]_[method]'. You widly used :'[object]_init' or '[object]_close' or '[object]_shutdown' and this :looks like objects initialisations and destruction. So why ? Yes, this is modularity. Actually, the C code of GTKG is a mix of procedural style and OO style. I don't like C++. It's not really an OO language. At first sight it might appear to be one, but it is not. And it's so easy to write a mess in C++ that, brrr... it's not very encouraging. (I can develop why I think C++ is not an OO language if you want.) Furthermore, it takes better engineers to do OO design properly. Trivial OO design is easy, good OO design is hard. It would be harder to find good OO programmers than it is to find good C programmers. Finally, I don't know how good gcc is as a C++ compiler. But yes, I confess re-writing in an OO language would be nice. Unfortunately, the only OO language I know of is Eiffel.
