##C++

irc.freenode.net

C++ talk/help/etc.

Intro
This is a resource page for the ##C++ channel on irc.freenode.net IRC network. Please use the links below to learn and perhaps answer any questions you have. The ##C++ channel is for discussion and questions about C++. In general we do not want to have a shouting match comparing C++ and other languages, nor do we argue about operating systems, nor anything else that can only be called argumentative arguments that are only for the sake of arguing. Please keep the channel constructive.

Rules
Ask, then wait awhile, people pick up questions occasionally.
Do not msg people directly without prior consent.
Do not paste more than 5 lines at a time (flood). Use #flood or a web paste bin instead, or post code online.
Be nice.
