Could you clarify precisely how Windows POSIX support falls short of
being first-class? It's not that I don't believe you - I'm just looking
for details.

When they did it back in the 90's, they implemented the absolute minimum
possible (IEEE 1003.1-1990). That subsystem was replaced in XP by the
Windows Services for Unix (SFU). SFU was removed from Windows 8 and Server 2012
and is not included in any modern windows release (although windows 10
has the Ubuntu subsystem in the creators edition).

I did that and used atof.
 
double asDouble (const char * str)
{
if (str)
{
char numString [100];
memset (numString, 0, sizeof (numString));
int len = strlen (str);
char * p = numString;
for (int i = 0; i < len; i++)
{
// remove any and all commas such as "4,800.4" before calling atof
if (numString [i] != ',')
{
* p = str [i];
p++;
}
}
return atof (numString);
}
else
return 0.0;
}
 
 
 
double asDouble (std::string string)
{
if (string.size () > 0)
return asDouble (string.c_str ());
else
return 0.0;
}

And did that work? It shouldn't, since `numString [i]` will always be a
null character.
 
Incidentally, atof() does no error checking.

Rick denies that this particular post is from him, and I'm inclined to believe him.

Haha! You are quite the joker, aren't you?

Does it really matter? The message is more or less the same.

"More or less" ... no. Not even a little bit. The person on this
post says, "My name is Rick C Hodgin, the god of the human world".
 
I am not any kind of god in this world. God has said that we (mankind)
are gods (lower-case 'g'), and within that context we are His children,
but I am not a god.
 
I am flawed Rick, very much in need of forgiveness for my sin, very
much in need of a savior. And I lead you to the very same God that I
myself need.
 
I am not risen above anyone or anything. I am here alongside each of
you, making mistakes every day, coming to God every day in repentance,
asking forgiveness, and seeking His presence in my life.
 
What I teach you is that you must do the same.
 
I teach you not to look at me, or any other man, but to look at God,
to Jesus, for salvation. He alone can set you on the path and teach
you rightly, as you're able to understand, in all things.
 
-----
The reason you think the message is the same is because you only look
at the surface. You do not go beyond your perception of the outer-
only appearance, and examine the true meaning underneath that perception.
 
It is the barrier that keeps people from faith. They will not seek the
truth, but are content to believe the lie, to remain at the place of
where they think they are right, because there in that place they can
engage in their many life things and be comfortable and justified in
them, because the true light of truth would reveal them for what they
are: sin in God's sight.
 
As I have said, God will not send anyone to Hell. People, through their
own intense love of sin, will send themselves to Hell, because they would
not put sin away, would not take heed of the warning, would not listen to
God and acknowledge the truth.
 
The message is very much different, because mine points you to Christ,
and explains the reason why ... it's because of who He is, and because
of who we all are.

Constants of what type, exactly?
 
The good thing about enums is that they can be made strongly typed.
If you wanted to make an integral constant "strongly typed" (ie. you
want to be able to, for example, declare a function that takes a value
of that type and nothing else), you'll need to write your own class
which, while possible, is more work.
