I mean the constructs. Casting will not change the functionality or

Actually your wrong, first gcc is not the only compiler and a g++
compilers can optimize
at link time, as was point out to me by the guys that wrote the DEC c++
compiler. And the
point was that there's no less performance with c++, which your comment
only reinforces.

I apologizes if you thought I was making any reference to nationality in
that comment I
was only trying to say that c++ is not owned by a corporation and as you
point out is subject
to the hole worlds views not just the interests of a small group of
people who are only interested
in there own profits.
