Actually, there are quite a few of them, and some are very good.
Of course, if you meant not many relative to C# or MFC articles, you are right.

I think you read my post too quickly. C# obviously isn't C++ and MFC isn't platform independent.
What I meant was C++ code that could be used on Windows and Unix and Linux and VxWorks and uItron and .... This usually involves templates or some open-source generic library -- say for handling UTF-8 strings (not that you would know anything about that )

I think I got what you mean. What I tried to say ( ) was that the number of "standard C++ articles" is low if you compare it with the number of MFC ones, but still there are quite a few of them.

Ahhh... OK. Then I made the mistake. Yeah, there are some good ones. But their frequency is at the "noise" level which makes searching for them difficult at CP. I wish there was a site like CP that foucussed on platform independent C and C++ articles AND had frequent high-quality posts. (If anyone knows of one, please let me know.) I know that some people at CP don't believe that this is still important, but there are many applications in the embedded and/or real-time arena that still require C++ and sometimes even just plain C.

If those are the kind of articles you want to see on this site, then go ahead and write them. No one is stopping you.

I knew that was coming.
Seriously though, I haven't come up with anything original enough to be an article. I suppose I could write some C++ basics articles. Maybe I will....
