That makes it clear that you are so ignorant about the world outside of
*nix that you have no idea how ignorant you are.  If all your
programming world is within the specific segment of *nix systems, that's
fine - lucky you, some might say.  But please understand there is a
world outside of that, where C and C++ are heavily used but many of the
assumptions you make do not hold.

You'd do well to learn from James here - he knows little about the world
of small-system embedded programming, but he /knows/ he knows little
about it - he knows it is important, and knows it can be different from
the systems he usually works with, and knows it is one of the reasons
for some of the flexibilities in the C and C++ standards.
