:-) Out of curiosity, is there really a bug count for VC++, somewhere?


There must be. Since you can add to the collection (and check
if your addition is in the collection), there must be a way to
obtain the size of the collection, right?


But what does it mean? Anyone who's worked in support at one
time or another knows that 90% of the complaints are user error
(like the one that started this thread). The fact that VC++ is
the most widely used compiler by beginners probably means that
it will get the most "bug reports": for some beginners (often
the most stupid), the problem is always the compiler, and not
their stupidity.
