I'm unsure as to the definition of knowing a programming language, so I'm picking C++ as an example. How much does it take to someone to be qualified as knowing C++?

  • Should they just know the basic syntax?
  • Template and generic-programming?
  • Compiler flags and their purposes (Wall, the difference between O1, O2 and O3)?
  • STL?
  • Garbage collection strategies?
  • Boost?
  • Common libraries like zlib, curl, and libxml2?
