The
perror() on
Borland C++ 5.0 for
Windows does this:
void perror( char *msg ) {
fprintf( stderr, "%s: %i\n", msg, errno );
}
My, my, I couldn't
stop laughing when I saw this. Doesn't that kind of
defeat the
purpose of
perror()? It's supposed to be a
descriptive string, not just an
error code!
Of course, it is a Windows compiler, so perror() is far less important.
