Some chess programmers have told me that this feature works much better in Visual C++ than in gcc. It's too bad I am not willing to program in Windows to verify it. Oh, and I completely agree with everything Don has said. It has taken me years to learn how to use C++ efficiently, but I think these days I write code that is as fast as C, it's organized better... and the STL containers and the std::string class are really nice to have.
