Thanks for the lecture. I understand that every young student thinks whatever his professor says is Right and if he is in the top X schools of his country, he must be Right and pointing out that he should check his allegations is perversion that should not be allowed. Unfortunately, that is not the way knowledge works. I'm here to help you, from my free time. Obviously, you do not understand enough C++ to pretend to lecture people. So, in the future, when you have problem with GCC we're very happy to help you. But please do refrain from lecturing us about your professor, what your school or C++ is. That would save from the embarassment of exposing your lack of proper education. Thanks. -- Gaby -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=22227
