New For a 3rd party module? No.
C++ can be made less insane if you control all the pieces. But most 3rd party libraries on Solaris are compiled in Forte... if you don't use Forte, you're screwed.

New If you export C++ mangled functions, you're screwed.
Any sane library developer should use 'extern "C"' to export functions. It's painful, but it works.

New Or, rather: Export C++ mangled functions in a lib you sell..
...and your CUSTOMERS are screwed. :-(

Your lies are of Microsoftian Scale and boring to boot. Your 'depression' may be the closest you ever come to recognizing truth: you have no 'inferiority complex', you are inferior - and something inside you recognizes this. - [link|http://z.iwethey.org/forums/render/content/show?contentid=71575|Ashton Brown]
