So... C? =P
Sorry. But my point is I think there's really very very few C++ places that could say their code is described by your statement. Not helped by the fact that I think there's really very very few C++ places at this point in the first place.
- actionfromafar 2y agoThere still are places slowly enhancing their C codebases with C++.
- lumost 2y agoThere are a small number of high-end software firms doing this. "slow-enhancement" generally translates to "maintenance". The exception to this are a few prominent mega-caps.
- josefx 2y ago> So... C? =P Without the string handling API, the always unsafe casts or the global states hidden in its standard library, the complete lack of automatic memory management, ... . Most of the bugs I run into in badly written C++ code turn up in places where someone had the bright idea to go C without good reason.
