Although you might find a compiler that barfs about missing .h's you probably will never find one that complains by default about them.


I believe one of the changes in the transition from Qt3 to Qt4 is #include <QWhatEver> is now the preferred norm as well over the old #include <QWhatEver.h> or die.


(Disclaimer: I have avoided using C++ for a long time now, I prefer ISO/IEC 9899:1999 aka C99 ).


If one doesn't need access to much of the (entire) std namespace it's probably best to do something else in a larger (more realistic) program, but I think everyone here knows that and I use helloworlds to test new compilers/IDE's as well


The name spaces related syntax and templates are one of the very few things that I like about C++.

This is because the shell uses a search path to locate programs. Everything on the command prompt is eventually tokenized and checked.

If $PATH is == /bin:/usr/bin typing 'hello' tells the shell to look for /bin/hello and then /usr/bin/hello.

If you don't like doing the ./hello thing you'll have to add the current working directory to your shells $PATH.
