Can't Run/Build my Program

Jenna:
You all (except oBFusCATed) should read the forum rules !

This is not a general programming board/website, neither it is a compiler-error board.
Such questions should not be asked here, and they should not be answered, the cause is simple:


--- Quote from: the rules on January 24, 2009, 09:14:54 pm ---In case you wonder why we are so strict: I could say: "Search the forum" - as this has been discussed a lot. To make is short: By law we (the devs/moderators) are responsible for the content of our forum. This means we need to read all posts. If you want us to continue the development of C::B and have the time to answer some of the questions that are really related to C::B, apply the rules above. It's obviously a matter of time for us.

Please respect this and respect the cause for this.

If this has to be repeated over and over, because nobody seems to be able to read these simple rules or nobody wants to accept these rules, it can happen, that the admins, mods, devs and sometimes normal users sound harsh or unfriendly in there answers.

And this post is one of the real annoying and time-consuming posts, that are absolutely unneeded.
And I have to spend time for this post, time I could better use for my family or workig on C::B issues/improvements, that means this time is lost for all other users or mor worse for my family and me.

And this questions from users who try to compile c++-files with c-endinngs and therefore with a c-compiler have been asked tons of time in this forum, and in the web, so such an answer, like the one from oBFusCATed is fully understandable for me.

If the question had been about the specifics of iostreams or whatever, then I would entirely agree with you.  However, it is actually about the naming of files and about how CB (via the configured compiler) treats those files, which to me seems entirely on-topic. I agree it is a FAQ.

It's more or less on-topic, but has been answered many times here and in the web. And I would agree if a user comes and asks why C::B treats a file as c-file, ebven if it is meant as c++-file, but not if it looks like a user don't know the difference beteen c and c++.

This is an absolutely basic programming thing and it does not belong into this forum.
