Hi Bob,
BB>1. How do I explicitly initialise a private static member variable?
You _MUST_ define it like this:
class fred
{
static int fd; // file descriptor; 0 is legit
};
int fred::fd = -1;
BB>2. The following pair of statements appears to be legitimate in C,
BB> but not in C++:
BB> typedef char byte;
BB> unsigned byte thing;
This would be a bug in your C compiler. It treats typedef's as
defines. But typedefs aren't defines!
Adios
