What else do you think I should write about? Top 10 Bollywood movies? :)

It's an experiment; you can find some results using topsy: http://topsy.com/www.thejaywalker.net/2010/12/difference-between-posix-and-standard-c.html and http://topsy.com/www.thejaywalker.net/2011/01/least-known-c-keywords.html

Hi,
U really seem to be into C/C++ n Linux these days. Whats up? Working on anything specific?

The ones I didn't know: explicit, mutable, export, typeid, typename.

Among the ones I've used, I value the 'extern' one a lot, partly because I've had to work a lot with mixing C and C++ projects, and sometimes, treating C code as C++ code just doesn't work.

Nice write up, but I think there's quite a lot of important information missing here.

auto - Should probably mention that the meaning of 'auto' in C++0x is changing completely. In the next standard, it indicates that the type of the variable should be inferred from the expression. e.g.

auto x = 5;
int x = 5; //equivalent

register - Should probably

Checkout c++0x. The keyword auto has be re-purposed to do basic type inferencing. All the well known C++ compilers already implement it.

But other than that, are these really least known ? I would consider them pretty basic and hard to do without, if someone is writing anything remotely useful code. Well, apart from maybe one or two.
