Choosing the right STL structure

[nigelhoath]

Paul very well stated and hopefully you won't mind if I use your words on my colleagues.

"You don't need to use any object-oriented programming in C++. There are other paradigms"

This I think is interesting. I have heard C programmers inferring OO is a must but from what I see I could well write any C program in C++ with little alteration.

In defence of the C programmers I know they rarely if ever write a C prog from scratch. Code reusability in our field is the way. That said as automation testers we see a lot of test environments that differ little from one to another. Especially in terms of network protocols, the thing we script and reproduce. It is largely a matter of find a test driver that is similar and if necessary make some minor changes.


Well many thanks Paul and et al. I'll let you know if I win the day.
