IRC Class Libaray 1.1 - C++ IRC bots made easy

[delme]

Hey guys, here's my C++ IRC class library, it now had even more IRC protocol managing functions that the last version, and it uses C++ strings instead of C-style character arrays.

This object class is very easy to use and takes care of all the socket programing so you dont have to

Heres an example irc bot skeleton using my irc class:

Code:

/*  Example of IRC class usage
    Coded by delme
*/

#include "irc.cpp"

int main() {
    //set options here
    string IRCServer = "irc.swiftirc.net";
    int IRCPort = 6667;
    string Nick = "BotNick";
    string Channel = "#bot-test";

    string sBuffer;
    int i;

    IRC irc;
    if (irc.Connect(IRCServer,IRCPort) != IRC_CONNECT_SUCESS) {
        return 0;
    }
    irc.Register(Nick);
    irc.Join(Channel);

    while(1) {
        sBuffer = irc.RecvData();
        if (irc.GetLastError()!=IRC_RECIEVE_ERROR) {
            i = irc.ParseData(sBuffer);
            if (i==IRC_PRIVMSG) {
                //privmsg
                if (irc.s_privmsg.Message=="!quit") {
                    irc.Notice("Quitting...",irc.s_privmsg.User);
                    break;
                }
            }
        } else {
            break;
        }
    }
    irc.Quit();
    return 0;
}

It has been pointed out to me that there is a possibility of a stack overflow in this library (my bad ) if you have already downloaded this library please discontinue use until I have it fixed, hopefuly today or tomorow.

Sorry guys :S

Bump, fixed all errors and released version 1.1, read the help file for any info on the new functions and new way of using the class.

I like this Class, it's a bit buggy though, when will the next one be released?

There is a new one in progress, I should have finished it soon, I have homework and stuff at the moment though, I just need some help with using getaddrinfo() as gethostbyname has been depreciated and declaring strings inside a class, instead of globaly. If anyone can offer any ideas?
