I want to have operators for internal data types within a class whose behaviour varies depending on the class. Andy |

Your recent comments strike me as being rude and insulting. Was it your intention to be rude and insulting? (That is not meant as a rhetorical question - I'm asking because I would like to hear your answer.) |

(That is not meant > as a rhetorical question - I'm asking because I would like to > hear your answer.) My comments were intended to be critical. My most recent comment, "I don't believe you" was probably a bit rude, and deliberately so. It was in response to my perception that you were being rude and pretending not to be. You claimed it was "just a question", but it was immediately followed by a refusal to offer "courtesy and respect", so your claim seemed disingenuous. I had found your original "Can you first explain" remark to be an inappropriate response to a reasonable question from Juha, part of what I perceive to be your pattern of deliberately withholding information and unreasonably expecting others to figure out what you meant. I'm starting to think that you have geniune difficulty knowing how you come across to others. (That last statement was not intended to be either rude or critical.) -- Keith Thompson (The_Other_Keith) Keith.S.Thompson+u@gmail.com Working, but not speaking, for Philips Healthcare void Void(void) { Void(); } /* The recursive call of the void */ |

I didn't include the statement that you might have missed something because I wasn't responding to that part of your posting. Besides, a statement that one may have missed something seems rather superfluous, so including it seems redundant. I didn't take it out to make you look dumb; I took it out because it wasn't relevant to what I was saying, which is about where to look to find the information desired. I'm sorry if it came across as insulting, that was not my intention. > The reason my text searches didn't find it is that I was looking for > the phrase "array of length one", which has been replaced by > "single-element array". The people who have done the editing/writing/formatting for the C++ standard have made a lot of decisions that make it harder to read than it could be. One of those decisions is to use fonts that are too small for the medium in which they appear. When I read the C++ standard, I often crank up the magnification a step or two to help with this problem. Another trick I use: when looking at a particular page I (try to) always read the footnotes on the page whether or not they look relevant to the passage I was looking for. In the C++ standard in particular the side material often contains useful information that is hard to find in the main text, so "looking sideways" as it were in many cases turns up something helpful or useful, even if not always directly related to what is being sought at the moment. |
