please give a line or two of explanation when posting a link - I am very
often on slow gprs and cant afford to click unless I know what the link is
going to show.
Well, in this case, Linus elaborates on why he feels the design and
implementation issues make him dislike C++, and how encapsulation also
often "hides" serious inefficiencies (and even bugs) in code.
Another person in support of his view also mentioned this:
string s = a + "/share/" + b + c;
One can't tell how many lines of code or how much memory this is going
to take.
Do read the discussion fully when you reach a PC. :-)
HTH.
