Is it considered good form to overload basic io subprograms?
For example, I want to overload OPEN so I can print an error
containing the file name from my new OPEN subprogram when
a file open error occurs.
I've just started teaching myself ada and I wrote my first
program today ("hello world" =;^). Just for the record
I've been programming in C (C for choatic) for the past two
years and I'm looking forward to Ada programming. From what
little I've read, I can tell that I'll like it. Ada seems
to strike me as a software designer's/engineer's language; and
C is ... well, lets say it's caused me enough headaches when
programming in team projects. I think the only thing I might
miss is variable argument lists and the printf statement (
remember, I don;t know much about Ada).
Thanks in advance.
