I've written a LOT of code in C++, and you can write code that's just as compact and optimal as C while being far more readable and maintainable. However, C++ lets you write much worse code too. At this point, there's no technical reason to avoid C++, but if one chooses to migrate, I'd say to be wary of blindly using C++ features "because you can". Personally, I limit myself to function overloading and heirarchical classes, and avoid all the streams, templates, envelopes, and other heavy-overhead (code and/or maintainability) stuff. _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
