Uses of C++? Tips for a beginner/intermediate coder?

[awcmon]

[QUOTE=Trebgarta;48874337]Okay, I don't know if you people are having fun answering questions,but I've got basically infinite amount of them, posting as relevance comes by. So I wonder...

Why is "compiling C under VC++" a bad thing? It compiles and works, right? (I told one of the friends exactly this, that he could compile under VC++ ... he asked me if there were a way to study C with VS, so that's why I wonder. )

If GCC is definitely better because actual C support, would there be a way to edit/develop under VS and test/release under GCC + Valgrind? I don't know if this sounds silly, but its either this or Code::blocks / Eclipse C / Netbeans C for me.

Also awcmon, ironically, I also told my friends to put Code::blocks away sometimes and just work with plain Notepad(or ++) and MinGW to not get spoiled by an IDE... but whatever, it's introductory courses. Guess they can afford a little spoil :P[/QUOTE]

Afaik, there's some small differences between C and C++ other than the large additions C++ adds. Whatever happens, your C code might not be as C as you would probably like it to be.

It's probably possible to do that. I don't think it's entirely silly, but that's just me.

I'm prob not the most qualified person here tho, so take my words with a grain of salt.

I've got SDL working, and so far in the tutorial series, it seems really good.

I can't say yet weather or not I really like it, but by the looks of it, I'll using this!

[SP]The tutorial series index has this same grammar mistake a lot http://lazyfoo.net/tutorials/SDL/index.php#Key%20Presses[/SP]
