Honeydew Herds Image



Honeydew Herds
The island of Java lies just north of Australia's Christmas Island. There you will find an interesting trophobiosis between mealy bugs -- who eat shrubs and trees -- and their host ants -- who live off the honeydew produced by the mealy bugs. When the time comes to move on, the mealy bugs climb aboard the backs of the wrangling ants and get herded to fresh pastures. This mutual partnership thus continually opens up new territory.

Customer support takes many forms. Here are a few of the forms that we provide:

NEW!

If you've licensed the Dinkum C Library or the Dinkum C++ Library for GCC, we now provide, as a free upgrade, the dozens of Western locales collected over the years by SC22/WG15 (Posix). To find out more, and to download the collection, click here.

For a list of known bugs in our current V3.08 upgrade library for VC++, click here.

For those of you who saw V3.06 and V3.07 go by, we corrected one bug in template function sort with V3.07, then found a more esoteric bug in the pivot logic. (For a quick patch, click here.) That's the principal difference between these version and V3.08. We'll be happy to supply a replacement header <algorithm> if you licensed V3.06 or V3.07.

For a list of known bugs in our V2.33 upgrade library for VC++, click here.

Microsoft Visual C++ customers will find here a number of interim bug fixes. Some also improve thread safety and performance. Dinkumware, Ltd. is working closely with Microsoft to improve the Standard C++ library in future releases of VC++, but things take time. We hope these bug fixes and enhancements tide you over in the interim. (See also the Dinkum C++ Library for VC++, if you need a more comprehensive upgrade.)

Is it a bug, or do you think you might just be confused? In either case, we want to hear about it if it concerns one of our products. Fill out our on-line bug report form. and we'll get back to you with an answer as quickly as possible.

Need testing tools? Our Dinkum Proofers provide QA tools for our libraries. Most serve equally well as black-box tests of third-party libraries, for conformance to C, C++, and Java standards. We'll be happy to advise you on how we can help -- or point you to someone who can.

We at Dinkumware have particular expertise on the Standard C, C++, and Java libraries. We tracked the recent development of Standard C++ through its final stages, upgrading our documentation, source code, and testing tools (Proofers) to match it at each stage. Now we're upgrading our mature and successful Standard C Library to match the revised C Standard (C99) nearing completion. And our Jcore Library is tracking the evolving Java specification. As the choice of leading software vendors, our products may well be just what you need to stay up to date with C, C++, and Java. Dinkumware, Ltd. would like to hear from you about your business and software development needs.
