Vim and VS Code have access to semantic code completion through the language server protocol. But your assertion is weird. Either you work on Windows where everyone is on Visual Studio, or you have 95/100 people around you using CLion,

> only things that change the layout. adding a non-virtual method does not break ABI at all for instance. Yes, you are correct. The point was that C code can keep the ABI intact through (some) data layout changes but vanilla C++ classes

Java has the possibility of maintaining ABIs as well. And I imagine that's what .Net assembles are about too. I think you're heavily over stating reliance on libraries having stable ABIs as an anti-pattern. If a mistake is made in

Encapsulation's a weird one. It's a cornerstone of OO but most/all OO languages have rubbish support for ABIs so changing your object in one library means you need to recompile your code using the library. This is the opposit

Let's use C and C++ as an example. What does the code look like? myobj.cool_func(1,2,3); // C++ cool_func(myobj, 1, 2, 3); // C Is this better? If you use a vanilla C++ style class then the class defi

And maybe one could respect people who go their own way to get out of their family's shadow so they can be seen as making it on their own. But if that's not the game then both people are 'idiots' (in this thought experim

Idiot usually means someone who doesn't know basic facts or has trouble anticipating consequences for their actions. But I think part of GPs comment was to note that the concept of idiot needs to be readdressed. For example, if your hy

It's a common grammatical error for temporal typical people. Time travellers would have said "The US will have appropriateded in the 1800/18 fold". Not to be confused with 2036/2000 fold.

I wonder if we're on the same page. Should a book on a programming language discuss compilation errors and how to interpret them? Should a book like Effective C++ (afaik the most popular series of books on C++) exist?

How would you implement async() under the covers? If you wanted something like go (or loom) then wouldn't you need stack swapping? And if you have those then you muddy Python's #1 best feature: the almost free C ffi.

Ah, maybe it's use of pkg_resources that you find to be a problem with imports. That's indeed a horror story especially with NFS mounted python files.

For fast compiles, in clang, -fsyntax-only parses as quick as possible. Then you have -O{0,1,2,3s} for various levels of optimization. As for the long baking compile, you have a concept of super compilation which will check the branches and

Yes, but I'm quite sure GP is talking about using LTS so the installed libraries are the same as you built with. IIRC there's still an issue with gethostname which must be dynamically linked.

by fnord123 6y ago
eh, no. the OS package manager is for sysadmins. LTS is for sysadmins to not have to worry about versions changing under their feet rapidly when they apply security updates. If you want to develop an application, you use your own toolchain.
