I really like some features in C++. Like the type casting operators,
classes, and other things. Unfortunately, I can't tell gcc to make
sure I do these things correctly...well, I can but if I do I'll get
hundreds apon hundreds of warnings about non-c++ ways of doing things
from withen the system header files. If you properly include the c++
headers (the ones with no file extention) you should not get these
warnings.
It may seem like I want to code according to the c++ styles because
it's the "proper way to code" however I understand how following these
standards helps to prevent hard to find/fix bugs by having the compiler
spot mistakes.
I would like to request that the wonderful coders of OpenBeOS make sure
that the header files follow the c++ standards where possible.
The biggest problems that I noticed are these:
-Not using the c++ type casting operators
-Copy constructor missing if there are pointer data types in the
class
-Not using the initializer list in the constructors of classes
