TIFF is a very versatile container format for various image-streams. It can encode multi-images(likes layers), with different compression (losseless, JPEG etc) and tiled images to read/write efficiently big images e.g. for astronomy, pathology (microscopy). It is the standard for archiving images.

There is a C++ REPL called Cling: http://root.cern.ch/drupal/content/cling
It is made by Cern and based on Clang

I doubt that it does in any EU country. In France it actually does not exceed 50% including VAT. (http://www.revolution-fiscale.fr/le-systeme-actuel/des-impot...)

C++ Primer was updated to C++11.
http://www.amazon.com/Primer-5th-Edition-Stanley-Lippman/dp/...
The C++ FAQ is really helpful but doesn't seem to be updated to C++11 http://www.parashift.com/c++-faq/
Fortunately you can refer to Stroustrup's FAQ about C++11 http://www.stroustrup.com/C++11FAQ.html
For reference (like libc manpage, basic usage, which header to include): http://en.cppreference.com/

If you do static analysis on Step 2 (ie on the AST) then you only need the Front-end of your compiler.
Clang/LLVM is much more modular, library oriented.(which is why the Google engineer wanted to switch to it). You can just link to the needed front-end and do the static analysis without generating the LLVM bytecode.
So yes, you could install a static-analyzer without the whole compiler.

Rust is inspired by C++ which use '::' to access names inside a namespace, here 'vec' and io are module/namespace not object, it's a static lookup.
'.' is still used for object lookup which is dynamic.

Actually you can do it using template but it is quite convoluted. (http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/summary?doi=10.1.1.130....)

It is sad we have to dig for it, it should be the first link in the article.

> On the other hand the fact that people from anywhere in the EU can come here to live and work here in the UK is great
and the fact I can work, live and travel where I want within the EU looks like a huge increase in liberty
Unfortunately, this is not true for UK as UK is not part of Shengen. I think most(but not all) EU citizen can settle in UK and UK citizen settle in EU countries, but this is due to bilateral treaty not European one. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schengen_Area)

I won't take the eurovision to measure europe's culture. First it is not "European" anymore, neither politically (Swizerland) nor geographically (Algeria and Israel for example are participating). Secondly, France and Germany do not succeed very well and they participation is rather ridiculous.

Lack of real string type. String manipulation is a pain and you have to allocate everything by yourself which result in inefficient and dangerous code.
