The purpose of Runtime Compiled C++ is robust 'hot reloading'.

Yes it does, and recently they made Live++ free for Unreal users. I maintain a list of alternatives to RCC++ on the wiki: https://github.com/RuntimeCompiledCPlusPlus/RuntimeCompiledC...

The issues you mention exist in C++ without runtime compilation, so don't pose a particular blocker to using runtime compilation when you want fast iteration in C++. This is all intended for development environments, so 'destroyin

Thanks for this insightful comment. I shall remove my head from my arse (I'm British) for just a moment so that I can see the monitor sufficiently well to type a response. The article covers a number of areas where scripting languages

Runtime Compiled C++ (code avaialble on github https://github.com/RuntimeCompiledCPlusPlus/RuntimeCompiledC... ) allows you to change a C++ program whilst it's running. It uses shared libraries (DLLs) to do so, but

We included crash protection into RCC++: http://runtimecompiledcplusplus.blogspot.co.uk/2011/09/crash... I use RCC++ daily as part of my development routine, and although you can introduce problems which mean you

No, it's just that the developer likes to recreate these scenes to show off the editor and renderer.

This is the second post detailing the open source task scheduler enkiTS, the first I linked to on HN here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10103757 Please do comment here, on the blog or via twitter to @dougbinks. I&#x

For those interested in the implementation of atomic operations see Jeff Preshing's "How Ubisoft Develops Games for Multicore - Before and After C++11", especially after 15m55s in on the video, or slide 37 of the pdf on githu

Cilkplus is a valid approach if you are interested in using a task and data parallel language extension available on Intel's compiler, newer variants of gcc and Intel's fork of clang. As mentioned in the article a more comparable

The task library enkiTS has a C interface, though this simply wraps the C++ implementation. Writing a C implementation from that interface would be pretty much the same, however the virtual function and inheritance would be replaced by a fu

volatile is a pre-requisite for implementing atomic types, as used in the post and enkiTS. It is not on its own sufficient however, and so I use both atomic intrinsics and memory barriers where appropriate. This is mentioned in the article,

Thanks for responding here - this is correct. In the case of implementing atomic types (the use case for enkiTS) volatile is a prerequisite but not on its own sufficient - hence I use atomic intrinsics and memory barriers where appropriate.

Putting a developer blog post out on a Saturday just before you head off for the night (I'm on European time) is about as irresponsible as lockless multithreaded programming without a code review. So please feel very free to comment he

A lot of the complexity of the RCC++ solution over others (I listed those I can find on the wiki https://github.com/RuntimeCompiledCPlusPlus/RuntimeCompiledC... ) is about compiling the minimum possible code quickly in

Yes, I do need to add more docs - work is getting in the way a bit at the moment though I'm using RCC++ for that so am maintaining and improving it as I go.
