Web Services - Put vs Post vs Get

I am currently reviewing some code for colleagues on a different project and they are using a WCF ReST web service.

Are integers in C assumed to be handled by a hardware spec or handled in software?

Are integers in C assumed to be handled by a hardware spec or handled in software? By integer, I am referring to the primitive "int" The underlying idea being that if integers in C are not hardware dependent would it be a violation of standard to have gcc implement different integer handlers. This way you could have your traditional 32...

Is it time to start developing with HTML5?

From searching SO, this question was already asked, almost a year ago now.

Is C++0x collapsing under the weight of new features and the standardization process?

From Dr. Dobbs: Concepts were to have been the central new feature in C++0x Even after cutting "concepts," the next C++ standard may be delayed. Sadly, there will be no C++0x (unless you count the minor corrections in C++03). We must wait for C++1x, and hope that 'x' will be a low digit. There is hope because C++1x...

Are compund statements (blocks) surrounded by parens expressions in ANSI C?

Browsing the Linux kernel sources I found some piece of code where a block of statements surrounded by parenthesis is treated as a expression a la lisp (or ML), that is, an expression which value is the value of the last statement. For example: int a = ({ int i; int t = 1; for (i = 2; i<5; i++) { t*=i; } t; ...

However, an exception is made in the standard for static const integrals. ...
