I assume by "writing memory management routines" you mean dynamic storage allocation as in C - this is simply a matter of testing and discipline, even in bare C, and it's easier in C++ (but more prone to abuse). A decent C programmer never worries about leaks, because only a lazy sloppy gross oversight would produce one.

New Bull****

You appear to have never had to spend hours, days, week, months tracking down memory leaks in C++ code. Or, in C++ commercial software.

I will buy out of this thread because I can't believe what I am hearing & have concluded it is you at your worst shooting from the lip.

New Sure I Have
I know C is easy to abuse - I know C++ is shit when used wrong, and by definition shit as an object environment. But mallocing and freeing is just a non-issue. Always use an explicit cast in C, always know the size of data, do the prep work - just like writing assembler.

C is not a good application langauge in any case, so this discussion is pointless.

Personally, I agree with Scott, that Obj-C is a better approach than C++, but it's still C and it still sucks as an application language.

New Your definition of a decent C programmer
Falls under my definition of an arrogant idiot.

New Well my definition of a good C++ programmer is a
thoughtful person who verifies what each module does in fact do before releasing it to the wild. I know of 2 folk Wil Gerkin and Rob Simonelli whose C++ skills should be emulated thru out the business even if it would put people like me out of business.
