... ystery. B Cing U, Tom Kenny. ======= From: Ross Alford <princeton!seismo!mcnc!ecsvax!alford> re Dave Harkins' question about the bicycle in #008: It is called the ordinary for historical reasons--bicycles of this type were the first in wide use, and became known as 'ordinaries' when later types (more closely resembling the modern bicycle, and then called 'safeties') were introduced. re Dave Iannucci's comments in #009: The pilot of the plane in Many Happy Returns is definitely the milkman. We videotaped this episode and reran that section of the tape several times just to be sure. The pilot that #6 meets when he firs ...

... ay is lower-level than some other approaches, but correspondingly faster. If we summarize the four file-copying methods we've studied (see issues #008 and #009 for code examples of them), from slowest to fastest, they might be as follows. Copy a character at a time with >> and <<: cin.tie(0); cin.unsetf(ios::skipws); while (cin >> c) cout << c; Copy using get() and put(): ifstream ifs(argv[1], ios::in | ios::binary); ofstream ofs(argv[2], ios::out | ios::binary); while (ifs.get(c)) ofs.put(c); Copy with streambufs (above): while ((c = cin.rdbuf()->sbumpc()) != EOF) cout.rdbuf()->sputc(c); Copy with streambufs but ...

... ant a language goal for C++ as is support for object-oriented programming (using base/derived classes and virtual functions; see newsletter issue #008). An example of heavy template use can be found in STL, the Standard Template Library. NEW C++ FEATURE - MEMBER TEMPLATES In chapter 14 of the draft ANSI/ISO C++ standard is a mention of something called member templates. This feature is new in a way and not yet widely available, but worth mentioning here. Member templates are simply a generalization of templates such that a template can be a class member. For example: #include <stdio.h> template <class A, class B> struct Pair { ...
