Put more strongly: I've always assumed I would get fired
immediately if I ever posted anything I created while getting paid.

When I entered my first software company, they said they also own all
the code I do on my spare time, even if its some game I am programming
at home. Is this really true as well? Sounds wrong to me and I was a bit
disappointed, but accepted it. Why would it matter what I do on my spare
time especially if it has nothing to do with the company s code/work? I
understand and accept that all the code done in workplace belongs to the
company, that is natural.... but I do not think its right that also code
outside work is theirs.

I'm working on an on line code generator called the
C++ Middleware Writer. If you have some thoughts on
how to improve the software or documentation on my
site, please let me know. I'll post some files here.
Thanks in advance.
 
The following is the contents of platforms.hh
 
#pragma once
 
#if defined(_MSC_VER) || defined(WIN32) || defined(_WIN32) || defined(__WIN32__) || defined(__CYGWIN__)
#define CMW_WINDOWS
#include <ErrorWords.hh>
#include <winsock2.h>
#include <ws2tcpip.h>
using sock_type = SOCKET;
using file_type = HANDLE;
 
inline int GetError () { return WSAGetLastError(); }
 
inline void windows_start ()
{
WSADATA wsa;
int rc=WSAStartup(MAKEWORD(2,2),&wsa);
if(0!=rc)throw cmw::failure("WSAStartup: ")<<rc;
}
 
#else
 
#include <errno.h>
using sock_type = int;
using file_type = int;
 
inline int GetError () { return errno; }
inline void windows_start () {}
