Hey,

A friend of mine and I noticed something the other day with the Dev-C++ C
standard libraries.  How come toupper() is not in cstring.h but in another
library?  This will mess up the code on other compilers.  Are you trying to
make Dev-C++ ANSI-compliant?

Unfortunately the Australian library system doesn't work that way. Go 
figure. ;)

FYI,   Check out your local library..sometimes they get books donated to

As I've recently asked this question, I'll pass on the info I was =
provided and which has worked for me....

quoted from Spiderman's response to my question:

    Include stdlib.h then at the end of your program write: =
system("pause"); here is an example:

#include <iostream.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

void main()
{
    cout<<"Hello world!\n";
    system("pause");
}

You wouldn't believe the resources you can find in old bookstores. I 
have this massive programming library, with assembly, routines in 
basic, pascal, advanced debugging techniques, C/C++, Java, Visual

A lot of them are University-grade text books too.

Editor: Yes. I do that now.

I believe some of that is implemented. If anyone wants to see what 
Matthew is talking about, download Arachnophilia from 
www.arachnoid.com

It is the editor I use for HTML, but it can also be used as a 
programming editor, and it has templates and stuff for CGI, Java, etc.

yes it has ;-)

Colin

Mark,

At the end of the program under main, before return 0;, put in =
getchar().  That'll require an input from the keyboard before any other =
action will be taken, and in this case, shutting down the program.

(Make sure to include iostream.h and stdlib.h)

Hello,

Just a question in a similar vein.

Does Dev-C++ 4.0 (I'm using 3.95) have customizable tools?  For example, if
I wanted to set up an external editor, a class generation tool, or a direct
link to my favourite MIDI file, could I?

It doesn't have to be integrated (ie. create something externally and import
directly -- I can load things from a file! 8-), but it would be nice to
augment Dev-C++ (though it's a pretty slick piece of software as far as I'm
concerned!)

Of course, maybe this has all been addressed with v4.0.  I'm still a little
unclear as to what's been included and what's not yet / never will be 8-).

Hoping not to start a wishlist discussion...

Matthew Hickson

[hey!  How about user-definable templates for classes, header files, etc.!
8-)].

Oh, since I've seen you floating around the list recently, Great Work Colin!

Hello,
      In my C++ book it says that \b will produce a system beep through =
the internal speakers, not erase characters.

I have two books, both copyrighted 1998 and covering ANSI/ISO C++.  They =
both state that \a is for alarm (the bell/beep), and that \b is indeed a =
backspace character.

However, as has already been mentioned, the backspace is usually not =

1. C++ How to Program (2e) by Deitel and Deitel (published by =

No it isn't. It does not feature Rapid Application Development 
features (e.g. form editors and stuff) as these are incredibly 
complex.

If you want a drag and drop type environment, Dev-C++ is not for you.
