Borland C++ For Linux

Ardax writes: "Looks like Borland is going to be releasing C++ for Linux, according to this InfoWorld article. We'll be seeing more details at LinuxWorld in NY next week. The article doesn't mention whether this will be C++ Builder for Linux, or 'just' a command line compiler. No matter what, this is a sweet thing. I wonder how it will compare to gcc? (I wonder if it will be able to compile the kernel? :-) ) If it's the whole C++ Builder shebang, I wonder if there will be an Open Edition? Borland's Community site has a blurb about this. There's no comments at the Borland community yet, but some interesting commentary might pop up there."

Remember Borland C 1.5...

Hmmm...

I wonder if this will be like Borland C V1.5 (or was it 1.0? I'm getting old anyways...):

main()
{
int a = 4 / 8;
printf("%d\n", a);
}

Result: 2

It's not a joke kiddos. It was a real bug, just like that.

You don't say...

void main(void) {
printf("Big deal\n");
}

Ever heard of a const int?

Const defaults to int. You're doing a direct comparison of a floating point with an integer.

I have a PhD in Visual C++. This is widely known among my graduate students.
