If probably means that during development some dummy code (a stub) has been used which is to be replaced by the real thing (a driver) in the production version of the program delivered to customers.

Couldnt you relate it to driver/stub functions??

/* Main is my driver function */
int main()
{
    cout<<"Testing the stubs"<<endl;

    stub1();

    return(0);
}

/* Stub function 1 */
int stub1()
{
    cout<<"Making sure this works"<<endl;
    
    stub2();

    return(1);
}

/* Stub Function 2*/
string stub2()
{
    cout<<"Making sure stub 2 works"<<endl;

   return("Working");
}

Maybe in a production context the driver would control the entire system and the stubs are smaller components????
AFAIK. Production code is programs that are used by customers.. My school projects are not production code, programs that are sold to customers are production code.

Wasn't nuzzle clear when he said in the production version of the program delivered to customers.

Production code is code that users or custoemrs are actually using to do their work as opposed to code that's currently being developed or tested. A stub means there's a function or some kind of code that you can call to get other sections of code written, but doesn't actually do anything yet.

g.eckert gets 100 points for the most correct reply. that is what i am learning thank you so much g.eckert

nuzzle just doesn't seem to have been graduated from a cs department.

i am now taking a course in c/c++ in a local college to fill up the gap of my cs knowledge.

thanks GCDEF for your clearification

again thanks everyone for you replies anyway
