List of Answers to FAQ

• Do we have to use the cxx compiler with the -w0 and -std strict_ansi options in our makefile?

  Yes. Although not explicitly required on the project description the course syllabus specifies that the cxx compiler must be used with -w0 and -std strict_ansi options unless explicitly permitted otherwise.

  Students who did NOT use the cxx compiler WITH the -w0 and -std strict_ansi options on PROJECT #4 will not lose points BUT you MUST use the cxx compiler with the specified options in your makefile otherwise points may be deducted for this on Project #5 (and beyond).

  IF YOU SAW "ODD" compiler warnings ON YOUR pre-graded PROJECT #4, chances are they were due to your makefile not using the -w0 and -std strict_ansi options with the cxx compiler - again as mentioned above you will not be deducted for this for project #4 (also this was specified in the email you received with the PRE-graded project #4 - reread that message if you didn't see this).

• Has project #5 been extended?

  Yes. The due date for Project #5 has been extended two days and it is now due by 11pm on SATURDAY, April 17th. Note that this is to enable students the ability to focus studying on the exam which is scheduled for Wednesday - take full advantage of this opportunity. Additionally note that there will not be any office hours on Saturday so all students should strive to turn in the project "early" (this is generally recommended for ALL PROJECTS IN ALL COURSES - 11pm is the FINAL deadline).

  Submit will accept projects up to 2 days late (thus Sunday for 1-day late and Monday up till 11pm for 2-day late).

  Project #6 will be posted on Friday, April 16th and due approx. 2 weeks later (more than likely again on a Saturday).

• [MSG] Don't forget to "clean up" project #4 (and others) and BACKUP often.

  Meaning delete any old executable files (like a.out) and delete the cxx_repository directory (if it exists). See project #2 FAQ for more detailed information about quota and other related items.

• When is Project #5 due?

  Project #5 is due by 11PM on Thursday, April 15th, 2004. As always, students should strive to submit a working project that passes primary one or more days "early" and then finish up any last minute special case testing and "cleaning up of code" and submit the final "polished" version the day the project is due.

  Submit is now accepting project #5 and you must include all of your .h (header) files as well as your source files - note that submit will check your project using the posted main.cc file and if it does not work properly with that main.cc file you will receive a 0 on this project.
