if (executeCommand("QUIT", out response))

I know of no "out word" in C or C++. I don't know if that is pseudocode, but if it isn't, it's a syntax error in either language. If "out" refers to "cout" or "output" or "standard out", well, I'm not going to try to guess what you mean. Please clarify.

out is a C# keyword. In C++ you'd pass by reference (&response)
