Instead of strcat Strcat, etc. That's why operator overloading comes
handy since it allows to replace

char *a = "A string";

by
String a = "A string";
Not in C, it doesn't.


BRAVO heathfield!

Bravo!

What an answer. I am really impressed by it.

So many arguments!

I am sure that is the best answer your
mind can give :-)

C does not support operator overloading. Any features you've
implemented that require operator overloading are therefore off-topic
in this newsgroup, and you should discuss them somewhere else. Any
such features that are implemented only in your own lcc-win32 are
useless (and not particularly interesting) to those of us who need to
use other compilers.

Do you understand that? Or are you going to repeat your standard line
that most of us are opposed to progress?

What better argument is needed?

We must do something. This is something. Therefore, we must do this.
