I'd like to offer you free C++ help on a friendly basis. This is a way to make new friends, to know about interesting problems and to learn how C++ is being used by other programmers, like you.

C++ is the language I use most of the time and one of the programming languages I'm most fond of.

It is a pity, but nobody knows everything related to C++ that there is to be known: every obfuscated C++ feature, every application, every algorithm, every operating system, every application framework. Not even Dr. Bjarne Stroustrup, the creator of the C++ language. Neither do the renowned authors Stanley Lippman, Andrew Koenig or Scott Meyers.

A C++ application can be almost as complex as a universe. Sometimes even more. 8-) Particularly when this program is not well designed. It is a good idea to read about object-oriented design, or the technique of well structuring applications by the object-oriented paradigm.

Everyone has to focus one's interests in a single area. I'm a practicing C++ programmer, so I can help most with C++ programming practices. I work most of the time with Visual C++ 4.x under Windows 9X -- actually Windows 95 since I still don't have Windows 97 -- and Windows NT. Sometimes I also work with several versions of g++ -- now called just gcc --, under several UNIX brands, like Linux, Solaris and Irix.

I'm beginning to use GNU-Win32, an interesting port of gcc to the Win32 API done by Cygnus.

I'm giving basic C++ classes, and for them I'm using DJGPP. It feels like old times, as it uses the very Borland-ish IDE called RHIDE. At first I thought the name was a reference to the song called "Hiding in Raw Hide", that the Blues Brothers sung, but is a reference to the name of RHIDE's author, Robert Hohne. It actually means Robert Hohne's Integrated Development Environment.

I know a little bit about several areas and I may want to research some interesting problems that I don't know at first. So, send me your problem. In the worst case, I'll try at least to suggest another person or a resource that may prove useful in solving the problem.

The only condition to this help is that you must answer the C++ Language Poll: it contains some boundary conditions necessary to define your problem. Other boundary conditions are below in the C++ Problem Form .

Of course you only need to answer the C++ Language Poll if you didn't answer it before. If you did it once and your conditions -- operating system, compiler version, etc. -- didn't change since then, just fill the C++ Problem Form .
