C and C++ are both strongly typed, so I am assuming that he must be
referring to GTK using a pointer in C presumably to dynamically handle
function names and data for polymorphism. He can't help it if GTK is
sloppy, but I can't make sense of his grievance either. Type checking
is never C's job, it's his! That is explicit in the design of the
language. Everyone who uses C knows that. C++ is the same for that
matter. Neither language checks your variable data for type.
Hey T.J., you seem to contradict yourself when saying "C and C++
are strongly typed" and "Type checking is never C's job." :-)
Actually, yes, C and C++ are typed, but weakly. They silently do
type conversion in pretty much every instruction. One assumes the
programmers knows it and takes care...
What are your preventions against OOP for graphics? Is it against
OOP in general?
I imagine the reason why Glib was written in C is because binding
to other languages is easier with C than C++.
Have a good day.
