I don't quite understand. Are you saying that the interview in Der Spiegel is Russian propaganda?

Good point. You only get a compile-time error if the strings in the switch collide with each other.
816.
by Kristine1975 11y ago
And in C++14 you can do away with the recursion and just use a `for` loop. Compile-time hashing of strings can be used to create a string-switch: constexpr unsigned int hash(const char* string) { // hash the string .

Decimal handling shouldn't be too difficult. Use an integer of the appropriate size for storage and scale by 10^n where n is the number of decimal places. E.g. (my COBOL is a little rusty) price PIC 999V99 ... move 3.14 to pric

No of course not. There's also Facebook, Amazon etc. etc. etc. But the article is about Apple.

Make it: interface Addable<RHS, Result> { Result add(RHS other); } The problem is hardly new though. Groovy is very Java-like and has operator overloading: http://groovy-lang.org/operators.html#Operator-Ov

The IEEE 754 floating-point standard even includes decimal- instead of binary-based floating-point types, i.e. which can represent e.g. 0.1 accurately: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEEE_floating_point#Basic_and_... I

It's not built-in ;-) Also its syntax is horrible: d = a.add(b.mul(c)); instead of d = a + b * c; Even COBOL's COMPUTE D = A + B * C. was clearer than Java's OOP notation.

With two-phase lookup errors in code that does not depend on template arguments are caught earlier (when the template is defined) than with one-phase lookup (when the template is instanciated). Which is why template code written for Visual

Say what you want about COBOL, but at least it had a built-in data type for decimal numbers (looking at you, Java).

You haven't lived until you've implemented a compile-time counter in C++: http://b.atch.se/posts/constexpr-counter/ (which doesn't rely on compiler bugs)

At least parts of it are essentially developed this way: C++14's features were implemented in clang while the standard was still in development (if memory serves) and several of its main programmers are members of the standards committ

Not at the moment, no. But it's not rocket science. The macro essentially creates a struct like this one: struct S { // How many fields are in this struct? static constexpr unsigned int FIELD_COUNT = 5; &#x2F

Sure. But you do test your changes, don't you? ;-) So if you forget to run cog after making a change to the meta-program, you should notice right away. But it still is a cludge. It would be better if C/C++ had a better preproces

I'm doing something similar in C++ for vertex attributes, integration with Lua et.al. First I define the struct: INTROSPECTION_DEFINE_STRUCT(S, (int, anInt), (bool, aBool), (float, aFloat), (double, aDouble), (s

You can use e.g. cog which puts the generated code into the file itself: http://nedbatchelder.com/code/cog/ Then all you need to do is to remember to run the preprocessor after you've made a change to the gen

That (define macros, include file that uses them) is fairly vanilla usage of the C preprocessor. Abuse is something like this: https://github.com/rofl0r/chaos-pp and https://github.com/rofl0r/order

And laser hair removal doesn't even destroy the hairs, it uses the hairs to transmit heat to the hair follicles to destroy those. Destroying the hairs themselves would require even more energy.
