    Windows has kernel-level fork support, you just have to reimplement half the wheel via Native API. The book "Windows NT/2000 Native API Reference" has an example of what I mean. ...oh wait. Expose POSIX functionality through Win32 instead of Native API?

  6. Re:It's okay to teach them FORTRAN on Should Undergraduates Be Taught Fortran? · · Score: 1

    I too am addicted to gotos. Even Java's psuedo-gotos e.g. ...
    foo : while(false); ...

    then use break foo; insstead of goto foo;

    Yes, labelled break/continue is a goto in disguise.
    You can do the same in C/C++, just add a nop before the closing brace like so:

    while (...) { ...
    continue_foo:
    asm("nop");
    }
    break_foo: ...

    Gotos/labelled break/continues are very useful when creating a tokenizing parser where token classes have enough overlap ... e.g. command-line calculator. But only the teacher/ASM/C/C++-fluent programmer will understand it.

    Yes, for being too lazy to use LFS!

    That's my experience, anyway. I was too lazy to fuck around with jhalfs and said fuckit after compiling the toolchain.
    Gentoo, on the other hand...
    Stage3 + emerge -e world + emerge -e world yields similar results to Stage1 + USE="" Stage2 + USE="" Stage3 + emerge -e world

    With a prebuilt Stage3, I only have to do USE="" Stage3 + emerge -e world. Faster :D

    YMMV.
