    Version Control

    Ok.  I know I cannot possibly be the only addict to version control.  I just want to know who else on this board is a complete dork.

     I've got my project in a subversion repository, and I even created a branch for pruning out the debug printfs[1] out of the submission code.  I even merged a bunch of bug fixes back into the trunk after I got the release branch finalized.

    What's everyone else using? 

    [1] yes, I'm using stdio.h instead of iostream, I'm a C programmer.  Maybe it's extra WTF points, who knows
     

    All men are frauds. The only difference between them is that some admit it. I myself deny it.

    I think I might be using both, because I have no real idea what I'm doing.

    Well, this being a contest of the greatest WTF, I do not use version control, I do not want to risk catching errors by mistake.

    Re: Version Control

    I use SVN too, as sometimes I have spare time at work and prefer to do something more productive than web-surfing.

    Never did anything but commit/update, though.

    Am using none of stdio.h/iostream.h/stdlib.h

    This mean my mallocs and printf all generate a bunch of implicit declarations :) But who cares, it compiles and run the test case. Of course, you might guess, i have no implicit declaration for free, nobody free pointers for such a small application !

    My third entry includes stdlib.h, stdio.h, unistd.h, sys/types.h, and math.h, among others.  This doesn't mean I'm actually using any of them, though.

    Aside from the GUI glue code, I used pure C++/STL; should be 100% portable.

    I basically just added anything that was used in any tutorials I was using, since I had no prior C++ experience, so I honestly couldn't tell you which I'm actually using. Here's my main set of #includes:

    #include <stdlib.h>        // Standard library
    #include <stdio.h>        // Standard input/ouput
    #include <iostream>        // Input/Output stream
    #include <fstream>        // File stream?
    #include <exception>    // Exceptions
    #include <math.h>        // Math is delicious!
    #include <windows.h>    // More like #include <windoze.h>, amirite?
    using namespace std;    // Not quite sure what this is

    I'm sure the "windoze" comment will go down well with Raymond Chen ;-)

     Well, you know the old saying, "If you can't laugh at yourself, you will be eaten by lions"
     

    On second thoughts, maybe that comment wasn't such a good idea, I should have just included a file "windoze.h" with my program. :D

    There's a STL?

    Yes, it's the Standard Template Library.

    I suspect that question may have been rhetoric and sarcastic, implying that GeniusDex didn't even use STL.

    Ahh! They don't have written sarcasm where I'm from, so I tend to miss it if I'm not concentrating.

    As I've mentioned elsewhere, mine only compiles and works with GCC, since I did some wildly non-portable pointer arithmetic (in fact, it's in my post of my favorite function over on that other thread).  It's only know to compile and work on Linux and NetBSD.  It might not work under Cygwin or DJGPP.  I haven't tried it.

    Portability is for the weak.  You want to use my program?  Here's a nickle, get yourself a Real Computer(TM).

    Actually, it's probably a reference to the fact that for the longest time, the C++ "standard template library" was anything but standard.
