Yes it does, but it makes things easier for people who use C. Also, I've seen a few tests where the same app compiled in both C & C++ ran faster in C, even though the source was identical. While this will loose some of that speed in that it has to calculate the offsets, it will help with the C users in easier programming. Also, it can be used to reduce the need for mallocs and strlen() functions (linear as opposed to constant, isn't it?), which may even show a speed improvement, in many cases. -Jim On 2/16/06, Perry Smith <pedz@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > But... all of this flies in the face of C++.
