Clarification, a paraphrase of something I wrote a week or so ago, which is a metaphor of only moderate quality, is this: Writing good C++ software is really about placing and using carefully crafted interfaces. After that you can ad lib in between the interfaces, so long as you honour them. A C++ thread can be like the quirky guy who walks down the stairs of a skyscraper, travelling across each floor and then back into the stairwell to continue descending. When he travels across each floor, he is wearing the proper attire and acting properly. *This is the interface.* But in the stairwell he very well may be acting quite differently, nobody knows, nobody cares. Could be walking on his hands, screaming, yelling. *This is the implementation.* _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers Post to : kicad-developers@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
