Re: NULL Device ?

Hi Thilo,
I would love to know why you require it. I am not sure of the context
in which it would be appropriate on the pocketPc - so if you give us
an idea why you want to use "/dev/null" then maybe we can come up with
something (an alternative).

You might want to start with an class derived from one of the stream
classes, get that to function as required, and then consider how to
turn it into a device later. My best proposal is to create some sort
of driver (is there a DDK for the PocketPC?) which is based on that
class to emulate this, ie it takes a stream, and just empties
everything that goes into its buffer.

Out of interest, what happens if you do try to direct something at NUL: in CE?
