Repeating a similar comment made in another posting, I propose
a rule of thumb for postings like this one:  unless a posting is
likely to generate a substantial fraction of responses that are
simultaneously of interest in both comp.lang.c and comp.lang.c++,
it should be multi-posted rather than cross-posted (specifically
for c.l.c and c.l.c++).
