Just because you have a problem with compile times doesn't mean
others do. And yes, the majority of programmers do not work on larger
projects and it does not affect them.

He does not have that problem. He is some sort of php or python
group troll. His problem is that those groups have low traffic and
so he decided to troll in C and C++ groups as well. That is why his
"expert knowledge" about C++ looks like FUD among programmers of
other languages. If he knows C++ then he hasn't had real work for decade
or more so some of his positions are oddly archaic and some have apparent
gaps.

If you do not enjoy communicating with such asshole then don't. ;)

Ah, I see your intelligence is once again showing.

Wrong again. I get paid very well for C and C++ work. And I really
don't care what programmers of other languages think about C or C++.
Sorry, Charlie. I have all the work I want - and even turn down some.
 
But then you have no idea how much work a good programmer gets.

Just another troll post.

You can lie all you want but anyone can check that you started to post
in comp.lang.c++ this january while in comp.lang.php you have posted
for ages. So you are PHP programmer and if you do not care to tell us
what such a PHP programmer thinks about C or C++ then why you
post here?
 
 
> But then you have no idea how much work a good programmer gets.
 
You have? All you have are empty words with no other substance but
attempts to annoy or insult others. Nonsense troll.

Sounds very plausible to me. I also think that his knowledge is quite
outdated. Who could realistically believe that the crufty software
powering, say a bank, has more LOC than an entire Linux distribution
including all application software? OK, it might be written in Cobol...
but still.

To me he is entertaining. Just read over his insidious insults and have
fun:) But it starts to become boring a bit. Maybe we should bring up
another fun topic, or go back to some real discussion. Besides, I also
learnt something new, particularly from Scott's answers.
 
 
PS: Know this one? A man is sailing in a balloon, he sees somebody down
on the earth and asks
"Hello there, can you tell me where I am?"
"Drop me a $100 note and I tell you!"
The balloonist drops a 100$ note, and the man on the earth says:
"You are 50 m above me!"
"You must be Jerry, the consultant!"
"How do you know?"
"You told me something that I knew already, took a lot of money for
useless information, and your knowledge is outdated!"
"Why outdated?"
"I released some gas and sank by 40 meters already to get my money back!"

It may help to imagine him in a bad wig, permanent enraged face and a
"Make America Great Again" baseball cap.

Is it possible that Jerry Stuckle is always right and everyone else in
the world, or at least on usenet, is wrong?

In the infinite sheaf of parallel universes, anything is possible, but
quite unlikely in any one universe.

So what? What does where I post have to do with it?
 
For your information, I've been doing C for around 35 years, and C++ for
almost 30 (since the late 80's).
 
No, one again you show your total ignorance. But you're just a troll,
so that's nothing new.

Yup, and it's a lot more that you get, that's for sure.

So stupid, so stupid. How many of those programs do you have on your
system? Or the average user?
 
I would bet there's a lot more LOC in Windows program than even in
Linux. But no one has all of those installed on their system.
 
Whereas all the code running a bank IS on their system.
 
Wanna show more of your stupidity?

You obviously have no idea what a consultant does. But then it sounds
like YOU just "released some gas".

Nope, but there are some in this newsgroup who are wrong - on a lot of
things. But then they've already shown they can't read.

Juha, sorry about Jerry's insults. What you have
posted here in the past has been interesting to me
and I think you must be a good programmer. I
encourage you to not let him get under your skin.

This is actually one of the few things that I would change in C and C++.
Plenty of people disagree with me on this one (in addition to the
"don't break existing code" argument). But I would be happier with a
rule that all definitions and declarations of the same function must use
the same names for parameters (and declarations could not omit names).
As well as being more consistent and closer to self-documenting code, it
would make it possible to use named parameter function calls (i.e.,
"myfunc(.b = 3, .a = 1);" or similar syntax).
 
IMHO, the prime goal for new language should not be to make it easy to
write code, or easy to be flexible - it should make it easy to write
/correct/ programs and /hard/ to write incorrect ones. That means more
effort on the part of the programmer in some aspects, but savings in the
long run. Apparent short-cuts, like making the default parameter value
come from anywhere around the universe, would make some tasks appear
quick and easy, but lead to longer debugging, harder maintenance, and
reduced code re-use. On the other hand, although using full parameter
names in header declaration means a little more typing, it saves time
overall.
