You can download it here:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/dev-cpp/files/Binaries/Dev-C%2B%2B%204.0%20full%20package%20includes%20Mingw%20compiler/
http://sourceforge.net/projects/dev-cpp/files/Binaries/4.01%20update/

however I wonder what would you do with such an outdated version.

I recommend wxDev-C++ 7.3.0 which is the latest version of Dev-C++. It
is available at http://wxdsgn.sourceforge.net/

ver. 4.x is supposed to be downloadable (see links from
http://www.bloodshed.net/devcpp.html) from sourceforge and from Simtel
but I got nada from either source:

Using the sourceforge link: error message indicating it is the
project's (i.e. Bloodshed's) error.

Using Simtel: a searchable repository for software -- no hits on
"Bloodshed", "Dev-C++" or similar.
thanks.

ok, I have one more idea on how to force Dev to use gcc.  Go to Tools -> Compiler Options ->Programs. Then change gcc.exe to g++.exe, in theory, that should force Dev to only use g++ to compile, click ok and see how it works.

OK, thanks.

Thanks, but these are cpp files.

When you create new project select C++ and not C that's all.

Switching existing project to C++ is little bit complicated. You can
set individual files to compile as C++ in the Project Options\Files Tab
- select the file and check Compile file as C++. However there is
probably no similar switch for linking. In wxDev-C++ close the project
and reopen it and it should link as C++. In the original Dev-C++ close
the project, open ProjectName.dev file in the project folder and change
IsCpp=0 to IsCpp=1. Reopen the project in IDE and build.

gcc is used normally with the C language normally with the file extension of *.c, g++ is normally used with C++ language normally with the file extension of *.cpp.  So I would assume that if you were to change the file name from *.c to *.cpp it would use g++ instead of gcc, but I have not tested that.

Hello,

When I compile a program (Win32 console) I get a lot of

[ Link error ] unreferenced std::string:: ....

which an error which based on posts I saw elsewhere (stackoverflow etc.) 
can be solved by compiling with g++ rather than gcc.

Where in the dev-c++ IDE and how do I specify g++?

I know it's possible because I have another project that shows g++ exe 
in the compile log rather than gcc.

Thanks.

   Hello,

free(pointer) does not change pointer's value, however you cannot use
it (nor other pointers pointing at the same location) because it was
freed. Pointer arithmetic, if results to valid address, should work.

Hello,

I would like to store an address of a pointer I'm going to freed.
So I made something like
user_type o...*i, *j;
  j = i;
free (i); X
...

I would like to ask if after the free command
does j points to the same address like before. It should be so, I think.

Thanks

Jan Mura
I need the address because it points to the next member in a connected list.
