| pedro1492@lycos.com: Jul 18 04:40AM -0700 In linux, long is 32-bits for 32-bit OS or 64-bits for 64-bit OS. This causes problems for an old package, because included X11 header has typdef unsigned long. There are many places where the size would require extra switch-case clauses to handle 32 or 64 bits. Hundreds of source files would need to be scrutinised. Simply hacking the X11 header file to change long to int makes the problem go away, but it not really best practice. So I hoped some compiler options could change "long" size. Now in fortran, one can generally over-ride variable size with compiler flags, but c++ does not seem so well endowed. The only thing I know of is -m32 which generates old 32-bit code and forces "long" to 32 bits. GNU compiler has -mx32 which utilises extra 64-bit instruction set, but limits "long" to 32 bits. Intel compiler does not have this. Any other workarounds? |

The main problem with this is that if you include any headers for other libraries, you need to link against versions of those libraries which were built with a 32-bit "long". In general, client code communicates with Xlib using the platform's base types (e.g. int or long), whatever those happen to be. In situations where data is being passed from the client to the server without any conversion, you'd normally use the fixed-size types CARD8, CARD16 and CARD32. Most "handle" types (e.g. XID, Atom) are aliases for CARD32, i.e. they'll be 32-bit regardless of the size of "long". |

I care about your eternal soul and would like to see you in Heaven. Consider the possibility that there really is a loving God, that He really did create a perfect world, and that an enemy of God came in and laid waste to that perfection through deception and lies. Consider that God is eternal and the timescales He operates on are huge compared to our mortal timescales. Consider that the problems we have in the world today are the result of sin, and that Jesus, because He takes our sin away, is /THE/ cure (the only cure). Consider that you're being lied to by an enemy at work in this world who teaches you the ways of lies, the purpose of which is to destroy your soul in Hell. Consider that a loving God cared enough for you to make a way out for you, so that you could be restored to Him despite your guilt, and the unholy things you've done in His perfect sight. You are being lied to by that enemy, Leigh. And Jesus Christ alone teaches us the truth. It is the nature of truth, that it speaks with one voice, is foundational, and always holds up to all scrutiny, of every kind, always triumphant. It is what's happening to you, and others in this world, Leigh. It's why we (me and other Christians) take the time to teach you these things. You won't learn them from the world, but only from Jesus Christ, and from those who have come to Him, learned of Him, and then turn back out into the world and teach of Him. It is about Him, Leigh. Not me. Not any of us (Christians). It is about what He has done, is doing, and has planned in the future. I teach you the truth because I care about your eternal soul. I love you, Leigh, but Jesus loves you more than I do, because His is a much bigger love, encompassing all of eternity. He places that much value on you that despite your apparent hatred and outward spewing of filthy things said and believed, He still comes to you and says, "Come to me, Leigh, and I will give you rest for your soul." I will continue to pray for you because I care about you. It is literally my best offering to you in this world (pointing you to Him, and praying for you against the power of that lying enemy who tries to deceive you in all places, in all ways, and at all counts). If you set your sights on the truth, you will be known of God in doing this, and He will make it possible for you to come to know the truth. I pray you do because (again), I would like to see you in Heaven. Best regards, Rick C. Hodgin |

The truth is God gave us His word and it proclaims things which are directly identifiable as literal 24-hour periods of time, such as, "...And the evening and the morning were the first day": http://biblehub.com/kjv/genesis/1-5.htm Here is a video which explains the significance of taking God at His word, and not introducing a compromise with man's reasoning to change the words of scripture. It's by a group called Answers in Genesis, who have and continue to teach that the foundations we need in this world to understand who we are in God, in eternity, and also here in sin, all stem from the book of Genesis, and that to alter the teachings it possesses within itself is to undermine God ... which is why the many lies of alternative theories about our past, our origins, are introduced by the same enemy who is right now waging war against people, causing disease, tempting to immorality and hate, and so on. https://answersingenesis.org/days-of-creation/six-literal-days/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KbODW6XO8zY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dmgs4a-Gbrc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=deV99oPnKlI The truth explains the Biblical account of God in the face of that which our science uncovers today. The two are in unity, and the Biblical world view gives proper respect to God, whereas the alternate views remove God, or the authority of God, or some attributes of God which then discredit His teaching to us in the Bible. And once you lose the foundation of the story of Genesis, and the Biblical account of a literal six day creation, it's easy to then discount the rest. It's why the movement exists ... always trying to discredit God, and to undermine Jesus Christ. Best regards, Rick C. Hodgin |

You here are answering to my post. Most people in his group think that I am an idiot answering to your posts. In that post I asked several questions about your truths that you failed to answer in any way: * Why Earth looks like billions of years old planet? * The light that we see from the Andromeda Galaxy takes 2.2 million years to reach Earth.

Where Jesus taught you that you should not answer questions > about the claims that you just made? I teach people. The things I've posted will educate you if you'll read and receive them. But such information is not for everybody, but only for those to whom it is given. It depends on whether or not the person is in pursuit of the truth, or in pursuit of something else. You're asking questions related to your existing understanding in the flesh. You are like someone without eyes trying to understand what it's like to see, but because you don't have eyes you have no frame of reference which is valid, for seeing is not like hearing or tasting or touching or smelling, but it is distinct. So it is for those things which are spiritually discerned. Focus on seeking an answer to those things I have posted and taught, and you will understand if you are truly seeking because God Himself will make them known to you. > think that I am an idiot answering to your posts. In that post I > asked several questions about your truths that you failed to answer > in any way: Well, it's simple. Your questions are argumentative. They do not come from a place of trying to learn and understand the things of God, but rather, you are trying to prove (through man's faulty reasoning) that there is something amiss with God, with scripture, or both. It is the work of the devil in your own head and mouth, because that's what the nature of sin is in our lives. We think we originate our own thoughts, but when they are sinful, harmful, of a false teaching that is not inline with scripture, they are not coming from us, but are coming from demons that are speaking into us those things which are of the alternate explanation / theory / belief, the one which takes God out of the equation and replaces it with any other thing. God's word is spiritually discerned. No flesh will ever be able to understand it as it truly is, but only at the most superficial levels, and it is often purposefully crafted that way so as to deceive those who will not seek the truth (Mark 4:12). As such, no flesh will ever come to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ, or of the truth His Holy Spirit conveys, for all such knowledge is spiritually discerned. And because God is spirit, those who worship Him must do so in spirit and in truth, and not in other ways. You are separate from the understanding of God because you will not pursue the truth, but are pushing a pre-conceived agenda regarding what you already believe. You will not receive the truth because you are so sure you are right that you cannot receive His message of love, of the nature of sin, and our need for forgiveness through His Son, Jesus Christ. It's hidden from you because you won't hear of any of it. > You instead cut these questions out. Why you did cut the questions out? > Did Jesus teach that too? If you do not know the answers then tell > that you do not know. When you are seeking the truth, you will be given answers, and not just by someone like me, but God Himself (His Holy Spirit) will lead you into all truth (when you begin pursuing truth in the first place). The same happened to me beginning in 2003, and culminating in 2004. I was on a journey to meet Jesus Christ, and did not even realize it, but because I had set my true sights on coming to know the truth, I found it, and even totally and completely to my surprise. I was dumbfounded that such a change had happened to me. But, it did, and here I am now 12 years later changed in every possible way by Him from the inside out. It requires that new birth to see it, and just as with your first birth, that is only an act of God, not of your own doing. All you have to do is set your sights on the truth, and God knows this, and then He does the rest. He already knew in advance, by the way, who would do this, which is why some people come into other people's lives for a time. God is working out our salvation over decades in many cases. Good luck to you in your pursuit. The answers you seek are all there. Just press in and seek the truth and ALL OF THEM will be given to you, and much more too. Best regards, Rick C. Hodgin |

You seem to be forgetting one thing: I am an atheist who is quite settled in his beliefs. Your preaching (most of which I don't bother reading btw) will not change anything (and I couldn't care less that you "used to be an atheist"). And as far as your Abrahamic god is concerned I know for a fact that it doesn't exist (this is knowledge NOT belief and has nothing to do with atheism).

I used to hold those beliefs, Leigh. The change that comes from the born again nature is that powerful. It reveals the deception we're under by teaching us the truth. It's what I'm trying to teach you: you are literally being deceived by an evil spirit teaching designed to do one thing: prevent you from ever coming to saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. Whether or not you remain there is entirely dependent upon whether or not you will seek the truth, and pursue it, or not. There are no other barriers preventing you from eternal life ... just you.

The devil is deceiving us? Bloody pathetic > mate. Yes. The absolute best I have is the truth. You can see it everywhere in the world. In music. Pop culture. Television. Movies. Liberal movements (and even in many "conservative" movements). It's the result of sin, and our spiritual death from sin, so that we are no longer able to discern spiritual things, but are only able to respond to our physical things. Because these evil spirits are spirits, they can exert and influence upon our flesh, as if "beaming in a signal" that we then pick up on. When we are born again, we are aware of that activity because then we can see and know it. It becomes obvious, and the born again person will begin to move away from the deception and toward the truth because God's Holy Spirit is also there guiding us from within. It is the best I have to offer you, Leigh: the truth. And there is much more to this than this little bit. But you have to pursue it with a whole full throttle effort. It can't be a thing you think maybe you might consider doing a week from next Tuesday. It has to be of internal resolve and a purposeful out loud statement, "You know what?! I /DO/ want to know the truth. Even if it takes down my beliefs. Or builds them up even stronger. Regardless of what I find in the end, I WANT THE TRUTH!" Pursue it with that kind of vigor, and you will find it. Best regards, Rick C. Hodgin |

| Juha Nieminen <nospam@thanks.invalid>: Jul 18 06:44AM > The official explanation (not mine) is that C++ already has constructors > for initializing objects. Adding even more ways would make the language > even more complicated. How would you use constructors to say that you want to explicitly initialize certain members with some given values, and leave the remaining members with their default values? You can't have default values in the middle of a list of parameters to a function (ie. you can say, like "obj(10, , 30)".) You can't have named constructors either (and even if you did, it would be really laborious to have to write one constructor for every possible combination of parameters that you might want to initialize). I suppose something like this would be technically possible: const S obj = S().a(10).c(30); but it's awkward, and makes the implementation of S quite complicated, requiring you to create methods for each member being initialized. (It also requires for S to be copy-constructible. Not usually a problem, but it adds an extra requirement.) The standardization committee likes to go with what compilers support (or don't support). This seems to be something that most compilers already support. So why not? --- news://freenews.netfront.net/ - complaints: news@netfront.net --- |

We can have several constructors. Constructor can not be named but can be "decorated" with arguments and template arguments. In actual practice it may be confusing. It seems to be good idea to have minimum needed constructors and no constructor templates if possible. If you really want to have named arguments then best what can be likely achieved with current C++ is Boost.Parameter library. It burdens some more declaring work on us, slows compilation down slightly and compilation error messages on case of typo may be funny. But there we are. Initialization syntax of C++ is IMHO already too fragile and loose. |

I think the idea is that the constructor should initialize the *object*, and not any particular members. The class invariant is the responsibility of the class itself, not of the initializer.
