Most Interesting Bug Track Down 27 28 (11/24/2006 10:12:15 PM) comp.lang.c I thought it might be interesting to share experiences of tracking down a subtle or mysterious bug. I myself haven't much experience with tracking down bugs, but there's one in particular which comes to mind... Frederick

Intrinsic Array as a Container 16 24 (11/22/2006 2:44:47 PM) comp.lang.c++ Inspired by page 219 of Nicolai M. Josuttis's book, I set out to write a class for an intrinsic array which would behave, to as far an extent as possible, like a container. Also though, I wanted no overhead ... Frederick

"Might be undefined" Behaviour 26 36 (11/21/2006 9:43:35 PM) comp.lang.c I have a general idea of the different kinds of behaviour described by the C Standard, such as: (1) Well-defined behaviour: int a = 2, b = 3; int c = a + b; (Jist: The code will work perfectly... Frederick

Oh God not references again... 28 38 (11/21/2006 1:57:14 PM) comp.lang.c++ When I was a beginner in C++, I struggled with the idea of references. Having learned how to use pointers first, I was hesitant to accept that references just "do their job" and that's it. Just recently, a ... Frederick

Byte Address Arithmetic Debate 24 24 (11/19/2006 8:05:11 PM) comp.lang.c++ There is a thread currently active on this newsgroup entitled: "how to calculate the difference between 2 addresses ?" The thread deals with calculating the distance, in bytes, between two memory addres... Frederick

Array CopyConstruct as efficiently as possible 1 54 (11/15/2006 11:39:39 AM) comp.lang.c++ If we want to copy an array of POD's, we can simply do: SomePODType src[8] = { ... }, dest[8]; memcpy(&dest,&src,sizeof dest); We can assume that this method is definitely faster than (if not at lea...

Note to fellow newsgroup posters 60 35 (11/11/2006 5:22:00 PM) comp.lang.c Hello everyone. I am sorry for my behaviour on this newsgroup. Particularly, I want to apologise to the newsgroup regulars who have put up with my childish behaviour. The truth is, I'm a nineteen year old m... Frederick

Self-assignment -- undefined? 16 49 (11/9/2006 4:24:24 PM) comp.lang.c Does the following snippet exhibit undefined behaviour (excuse the stupidity of the code): int i = 5; i = i; Or what about a more complex form of it: void Func(int *const p,int const *const q)... Frederick

Worrying Prevalence of K++ Compilers 9 27 (11/8/2006 7:17:34 PM) comp.lang.c++ It seems there's quite a few compilers out there that don't follow the C++ Standard when it comes to default-initialisation. Here's some quick test code if anyone would like to try it out. So far, it seems t... Frederick

Generic Pointer Type 3 35 (11/6/2006 5:22:40 PM) comp.lang.c++ For objects, we have "void*" as the generic pointer type. For instance: enum ParamType { Int, Double }; void Func(void *const p,ParamType const pt) { switch (pt) { case In... Frederick

Change C functions to C++ static methods for organisation? 5 34 (11/29/2006 6:27:22 AM) comp.lang.c++ Hi, I've inherited a bunch of C code that needs to be called from a C++ framework, so I thought it would be good to put these C functions into C++ classes for better organisation. What are best practices? Shou... digital_puer (190)

How to write a murder-program in C ??? 23 43 (11/30/2006 5:14:49 AM) comp.lang.c I want to write a program that can kill people in C. Something that will display flashing colors or fractal pictures that will overload the brains of my victims so that they die. But, how can I write such a de... spartan_isle (15)

C++ style casting 5 24 (11/30/2006 8:07:27 PM) comp.lang.c++ I've always been a little sketchy on the differences between static, dynamic, and reinterpret casting. I am looking to clean up the following block by using C++ casting instead of the C style casting. from what... cpisz (470)

pass by reference 3 36 (11/30/2006 11:37:10 PM) comp.lang.c++ I was just wondering what typically happens under the hood when you pass a C++ variable by reference. It looks like a pointer gets passed in, but the compiler let's you access it as if it wasn't a pointer. An... mike7411 (65)

Local classes in C++? 17 26 (12/2/2006 11:38:35 AM) comp.lang.c++ I didn't think this was possible in C++. I don't believe Stroustrup mentions this anywhere in TC++PL(SE). I've never seen it used in code that I can recall. Is this feature widely supported? Is it used? #i... chattengau (616)

Calculation of increment operator 7 34 (12/3/2006 3:25:36 AM) comp.lang.c++ Hello, everyone, below is the program to calculate an expression of increment operator, the result j is 4 and i is 8 seems unbelieveable, so what is the rule of such expression? int i , j = 2; i = ++j+(++j); ... laikon (12)
