F77/C++

I read this paper:
http://www.uop.edu.jo/download/PdfCourses/Cplus/cppf77.pdf

And it was published TIME ago, so i was wondering, is there any point in using FORTRAN for the complex math in a program? (for example in a physics engine or a graphics modeller)

Opinions please chaps, and anyone mixed anything else with C++?

C++ is not C with OO bolted on, C++ is a fundamentally different language that happens to use compatible syntax with C. As an example, Java copied about 98% of its syntax from C++, but that does not make Java a subset of C++. In fact it would be possible to change syntax differences in Java to be exactly like C++ so that C++ code could run in Java, that still would not make Java a subset of C++.

I'm torn between my desire to let that stand because it's a negative comment against Sepples and Jaev, and to call you out on your obvious bullshit.

Are you the shitposter who likes to turn every thread into an argument?
``Obvious bullshit'' is the cornerstone of /prog/, without it this board suck an anus, like 4-ch /code/.

I'd say troll in training. He doesn't have much to offer so I'd rate him 3/10.

Of course it's possible, the guy in the linked paper did it. That's what he wrote about.

I said it was pointless, precisely because it's already possible with C, so he should have just used that interface in C++.

Easily solvable with restrict.

Idiots.
