What about entities that need specialized members? e.g an "isOpen" member might make sense for a "door" entity, but it hardly makes sense for a "bullet" entity. My understanding is that Quake2 "solves&quot

No issue, just need a plugin to disable cursor rendering when you launch the build :-)

You no longer have to deal with solution domain issues (memory leaks, crashes, deadlocks, type errors ...). However, you might still need a huge bunch of english text to describe the problem domain. If such a text isn't already availab

Whatever we call it, e.g "OO", inversion of control, dependency injection, polymorphism, function pointers, ... This can all be summarized in one question: "can old code call new code?". This is required to build a prope

My company (~50 people) has been using D in production for several years. We rely on gdc (we measured it generates the fastest code for our usage). Nearly once per year, a blocking bug sneaks into the compiler and needs to be worked-around

There are 3 major compiler implementations (dmd, gdc, ldc). I mostly work with gdc from GNU/Linux, and basically, everything that works with g++ works with gdc. More precisely, I use, on a daily basis: - vim + ctags (editor + symbol lo

wasm will no more be a trojan horse than Javascript and asm.js are. They all are web VMs ; remote code execution is the whole point!

Give a man a bug report, he will fix his program one day. Give a man a fuzzer, he will be fixing bugs for the rest of his life.

I wonder what Fabien Sanglard would think of this. To me, the Quake 1/2 source code has been an invaluable source of insight, as much for small algorithmic stuff (like collision/sliding code) than for its architecture as a whole (

What is wrong with Yoda conditions? The very name is giving you a hint: they will feel natural only to Yoda. To humans, they will feel as they're written backwards.

Parser generators really shine when you're experimenting with a new language, whose syntax isn't stabilized. At this stage, you want to be able to change your grammar nearly for free. You don't want to be trading enhancements

I've seen lots of unit tests tests trying to reproduce the exact circumstances of a known bug, in an attempt to trigger it, and thus prevent regressions. The problem is, legitimate changes to your production code can make your test go

Each unit test not ending with an assertion is essentially a hack to locally silence your coverage tool, without actually improving the quality of your test suite. I call these tests "crash-tests", as a crash is nearly the only th

Please let's not equate OOP with Java. There are actually OOP proponents like James Coplien and Trygve Reenskaug who think that Java is more "class-oriented" than "object-oriented", making it really hard to do prope

This is just terminology. The important question here is: "Can your program leak memory?"
