Hello! I'm a bare novice at C++, but just the same I
have some questions about the state of the language:
1) I'd like to find a way to implement a linked list
structure that will handle an instance of any type
in its nodes (suprise surprise), and meet the
following requirements:
-- be independent of any library. The code I
need to develop must be as portable as possible.
-- allows for the addition and deletion of nodes,
as well as for traversal of the list.
Preprocessor directives are OK by me, and redundant
code (e.g. produced via templates) is acceptable
(albeit frowned upon). I'm currently using g++ and
its libraries, and would like not to depend on the
latter.
2) On the subject of libraries, what are the de facto
standards, and where can I find them?
3) Finally, I was thinking of picking up a Mac in the
near future. What C++ compilers are out there for
it? (I know GNU offers g++ for A/UX, and that the
Zortech compiler apparently sucks -- this bit of
knowledge I have distilled from past postings to
this group.)
Before closing, I'd like to apologize if any of these
questions seem banal by now; I've just started to read
this newsgroup. All opinions are strictly mine; spelling
errors, however, are your problem. ;)
Please post replies to caugherd@turing.cs.rpi.edu .
Thanks!!
