Question about which tools to use, bugs, the best way to implement a function, etc should go here. Don't forget to see if your question is answered in the wiki first! When in doubt post here.
True, but it is part of the C99 standard library and because i am using the C++98 it is not applicable to me.

Way to go for a first post you stupid git. Your intelligence level clearly is zero if you think that the only alternative to C is Visual Basic. Second to that disrespecting the gay communitie twice in one sentence is only an affermation of the lack of Intelligence. People like you should be removed from the gene-pool and given the Darwin award.
You know, I remember when I first learnt C. I used to think VB was great. Now I think it's terribly useless, unless I want to write something FAST and not worry about portability or code management.
Whoever this guy is, he doesn't belong on an OSDev forum.
VB is most certainly not useless. It should be used for the right thing (which does not include osdeving). It has better debugging facilities compared to all C oriented programs, it saves you from writing the ugly win32 GUI code, and has numerous other features that C can only dream of.
It annoys me that the C programmers keep thinking that vb is useless and that things like this are impossible to do in VB. (I seriously doubt that saying that a VB game got first place in a compo could change this attitude )
That said, vb.net does suck - it has essentially become java using basic keywords. No wonder why nobody is using it.

Ok, maybe I was over-exaggerating. Right now I'm using an internet browser I made in VB... it does have uses.
About the Dex comment, I heard somehwere sometimes people who are unhappy on forums and leave make another account and flame everyone.
