I don't know of any better forum, but there is an arpanet mailing list for C which occasionally touched on C++ occasionally when I monitored it about 2 years ago. However, that list is heavily overloaded with C discussions. I would like to have a list of C++ USERS -- please send a message to JCM@ORNL-MSR.ARPA. (Please tell what C++ implementation you have, what computer system you are using, and what type of application you are developing). I don't want to start a mailing list, but I might be willing to echo a VERY SMALL amount of mail. >Does allowable operator overloading include the assignment (=) operator? Not only can you overload "=", but you can also overload "()" (function calls) and "[]" (array subscripting). I believe this makes it possible to do such things as: > output(file1,record1) = a. jim mullens / jcm@ornl-msr.arpa / 615-574-5564

The arpanet mailing list for C is gatewayed to the usenet newsgroup comp.lang.c. There is also a usenet group called comp.lang.c++. I'm sure that this must be gatewayed to an appropriate arpanet mailing list, but I don't have any details of these lists. Comp.lang.c++ is full of debate on the kind of questions you have and I would suggest you try and find the name of that mailing list.
