Got those zDrivers working yet? ;)

Go back to your virtual world ;)


No, C++ does not define the behavior of what happens when you try to
free stack memory-- which I can actually try to do if I want to-- and
may want to, if I was building a low level driver, or interfacing with
assembly routines, or writing a memory handling system for an OS-- some
things for which you'll never find Java being used appropriately. ;)
