>>>From a C learning book:
>>>
>>>If one considers Kernighan and Ritchie (1978) appendix A to be the standard for C, then some extensions must be considered 'non-standard'..
>>>Some of the current implementations of functions returning structures are not re-entrant, and can produce bugs when a function is called several times in one expression.
>>>
>>>Do you think this applys to Visual C++ ? If so, what functions ? If not..Why ?

>>As much as i hate to sing the microsoft song. I use the MFC as the standard. And once I have created a class or subclass, then I tend to use that one. And re-entrance hss not been a problem even in the non standard ones. This is probably due to the internal stucture of windows framework.

Well, I keep several books around. The first is C by example. This way I can quickly see how it was done. And I keep a 21day C++ book also. These I use to quickly shed the shell issues so I can look up in one of the visual books. My Favs are: from QUE Special Edition Using Visual C++ ISBN 0-7897-0893-0and Visual C++ Power Tool Kit ISBN 1-56604-191-0

I use the first two books to better define my search(s) in the second two books. Well, I guess That if I had to pick ONE go with The Using
book.
