They were the first things to be highlighted when I compiled my old source
for the first time. I also wanted Unicode support like we're used to with
the managed String class, but I wasn't sure what the latest C++ convention
was for this. I went searching and came across conflicting information.
Some recommended the STL string, some pointed to safe replacements for all
the old dangerous 'str' functions, then I found various macros like U("")
for defining Unicode strings. At this point I became irritable and didn't
know what to do.
Have you got a convention for defining and manipulating strings in your C++
code? Is there a reasonably widespread convention at all?!
