    Must you REALLY break the scroller? -_-; Would a mod kindly delete/edit this guy's post? It's annoyingly long.

    Are you saying a troll's post is annoying? Best tell him, and sure thats not what he meant to do...

    There is an option is MSVC which is called Disable language extensions but which in fact makes the compiler more C99-compliant.

    I think, the first step this guy sould make is to rename this option into Enable Microsoft C++ extensions and make it disabled by default.

    I understand all too well that my employer forces me to use java. Being a c++ guy this makes my stomach turn. I consider java to be one of the darkest forces in nature. Invented to crush attempts at being intelligent.

    Anyone got a real job for me?
