I guess wait for libstdc++ to implement the Coroutines TS that got merged into the C++20 standard?

Ooh, I like that new 'Image usage. I was told that adding the identifier to the end of blocks is just a good practice, since the compiler can tell you if you misread the nesting and wrote the wrong name.

Unless you are writing one-off programs that you never come back to -- which is certainly possible! -- it's possible that "future you" is the next programmer.

The tradeoff is that emplace_back and push_back need to check the capacity (even though they won't reallocate because of reserve). Whereas with resize, assignments into the initialized area need no checks at all.

I think Compiler Explorer shows that it usually doesn't, unfortunately.

For me, the overhead of keeping track of size and capacity is still pretty thin. It's not like it's a linked list or something. The overhead is thin but non-zero.

I was being a little flippant and unfair to Java because I was trying to find where the claim "everything is a class" had appeared from.

by thestoicattack 8y ago
That's Java, isn't it? I write lots of C++ without classes.

I don't think C++ comes with the OOP mindset. At least, not recently. Most people will tell you it's "multi-paradigm." And I would say C++ certainly gives you enough flexibility to dig underneath the abstractions, as TFA

The most surprising part of this to me was the speedup from replacing std::vector. They write, "We don’t need resize or push_back in our code, all arrays are initialized with the right size." But if you're not doing any resiz

No std::unique_ptr?

by thestoicattack 8y ago
Oh, ouch. I never knew about that one. I assume it's an effect of various "#define NULL 0" type things that got stomped by the introduction of nullptr in C++11?
73.
by thestoicattack 8y ago
That's a good point. I use references, even with that mental overhead, because they're not nullable. Clearly there are trade-offs.

I was with you until "you cannot use references." Why not?

Don't forget the planned city that actually got built -- Brasilia. Niemeyer was a disciple of Le Corbusier.

If the icons were good, the quiz wouldn't need to exist, right? So the mere fact that there is a quiz already biases the result.

I'm not understanding what awk has to do with your other points.

As an aside, doing find -exec [...] + (note + instead of \;) will exec one grep process for as many arguments as possible, instead of one grep process per file.

C++17 has if-statement initializers, so you can do if (auto x = re_match(foo, bar); x.has_value()) { (or x.ok() or whatever the name is of the method that tells you the validity of x)
