It would have, if I hadn't "Got it" right after I read Angus' posting :-)
I've been a happy Java Programmer for the last 7 years so I "missed" (*)
all this new C++ stuff like templates, namespaces, exceptions and rtti.
I only guessed at the semantics of "namespace x = ..." and translated
"using" to the imports in Java. Of course I knew that header files get
included everywhere but I didn't make the connection to namespace
pollution due to lack of practice.
Personally, I think C++ is hell. I know, I'm pretty lonely with this opinion
on this list. But the C++ designers just kept putting in new complicated
features which help programmers to shoot themselves into the foot.
Not that C was a safe language to begin with.
A decent language shouldn't have a preprocessor, pointer arithmetic,
automatic datatype conversion, commutativity of array access or a
turing-complete template system.
BTW, does anyone know the type of the expression
bind(&Impl::finishedGenerating, this, _1, _2)
where Impl is PreviewLoader::Impl ?
Ok, I better stop now.
Cheers
/Andreas
