Whatever comes is alright - I'm ready, for the future now

The Portland Spirit

One ship sails east,
and another west,
by the self-same winds that blow.
For it's the set of the sails,
and not the gales, that tells the way we go.

Now you can do that to a class. Think about times when you want to write a class without having to write a class. This guy isn't serious... Here's how: #define ClassGenerator(_class_name_)\ class _class_name_ {\ public: \ _class_name_() {}\ ~_class_name_() { }\ std::string getResult();\ }; He IS serious.. Now what can I do with this?
