Oh, that s a typical denial reaction to disregard what is a formal
accusation when I AM living it and... It seems there is a concerted
effort to standardize the language but in contraposition to actual
practice!
That can be said for some things (e.g. the names of the
headers). In this case, however, the rule is definitely
pre-standard, and was existing practice when the standard was
being written.
In opposition to established and successful vendors,
programmers, magazines, applications and even the inventors of the
language!
It was the inventor of the language (Bjarne Stroustrup) who made
the change. And you seem to be the only programmer who doesn't
know about it.
It was invented in laboratories in Xerox Palo Alto, right?
No. C++ was created by Bjarne Stroustrup when he was working at
Bell Telephone Labs.
From the same group of people who invented the Windows
interface that was supposedly **snatched** from them by Mac
then **stolen** by Gates for Windows when IBM **lost** the PC
patent when everybody was **learning** programming?
The basic Windowing interface first showed up on the Xerox Star,
I think. That was from Xerox Palo Alto. The first commercially
successful systems were from Sun and Apollo (later bought by
HP).
