But you didn't ask a question, you made a statement. There are only two reasons I can think of for why someone wouldn't be surprised if something that is almost certainly false turned out to be true. 1. That person is wholly ignor

I'll admit straight up when I fire someone I am usually so relieved if they leave peacefully that I don't just say they worked for me, I will usually even give a semi positive review of them. Not a glowing praise or anything of th

Arguing that Clinton is a lizard is not only analogous to claiming that the COVID-19 mRNA vaccine does not work and is actually harmful, it's leaps and bounds worse. At least the lizard position can be viewed as a kind of satire or met

He's been saying that for years though, from the time he perpetuated 9/11 being an inside job, to arguing that the moon landing was a hoax, to his current position on COVID. What exact mindset inspired by Joe Rogan would you advoc

You're quoting a sentence fragment of a non-normative section of the spec, in other words you're half quoting a part of the spec that is not intended to be interpreted formally, literally, or even required to be adhered to. The ra

I feel like in the absence of an overwhelming justification, your comment is just derailing the topic and attracting unnecessary attention.

There is no std::optional in earlier language standards. std::optional is a C++17 library feature.

Fair enough, in my codebase we always order data in terms of dependencies so that independent data comes before dependent data. In this case the result depends on the error_code, and the error_code is independent, so the error_code must be

Use your browser's "Find on page" feature and search for the term "copy elision". There's an entire section on it.

Yes we are sure and it has nothing to do with optimizations, RVO, Godbolt or any of the completely irrelevant details you are talking about. The implementation of std::optional is not permitted by the standard to allocate memory.

I did not say most languages, I said most languages that have move semantics. Neither C++ or Rust invented the concept which dates back to the 1980s. >C++ had to be backward compatible with pre C++11 and couldn't make destructive mo

There is no copy involved with the std::optional version.

It's very rare where doing that is a good idea. A constructor is about the only time when you get much of a benefit.

You'd get a language that is wildly incompatible with C and hence you may as well use a different language.

by Kranar 5y ago
It's not obvious at all, the issue is that move semantics in C++ don't really have much to do with the concept of moving. Most languages that have move semantics treat moves as a kind of relocation of a value from one place to ano

There are numerous ways of handling this that are significantly better, for example using an std::optional yields this code: do_something().and_then(process); Or structured bindings: auto [error_code, result] = do_something()

Definitely don't think that's true. Yes, Edward Teller did propose a design for a 10 gigaton device but the initial devices based on that design ended up being a dud, not working as intended and the project was abandoned in favor

Normalization is pretty independent of optimization strategy and generally that's not presented as one of its advantages. Normalizing data can improve write performance but will make reads slower, so if you have a write intensive datab
