Ah. Someone with a name you might recognize posted a C++ solution near the beginning of this discussion. His composable functions were not C functions, so you are saying that his solution was irrelevant. > We have noted that by that amusing re-definition, > C ``has'' Fortran. Fortran is not a semantic feature. It is a computer language. Your notes have been exceedingly repetitious, largely incorrect, and insulting to (among other people) the man who designed C++. I don't think that anyone wants to associate himself with your royal ``we.'' I want this group to be a useful source of technical information, not boring arguments. But I haven't seen a new observation in this discussion for more than a week. So I'm giving up on this thread, and I suggest that others do likewise. It's not my problem if Ozan wants to continue tossing insults at Bell Labs language designers. ---Dan
