template class and non-template class 8 155 (9/24/2010 4:38:34 PM) comp.lang.c++.moderated I have a template class which I'd like to have a non-templated version of - it's templated on a size_t which is currently a compile time constant. I now need to make an almost identical class, except with th... ThosRTanner

Is it dangerous to pass a temp variable to throw 1 128 (5/21/2010 4:06:31 PM) comp.lang.c++.moderated for instance class Except { public: template Except &operator<<(T const &); }; throw Except() << "went bang"; In our version of lint, this gets an error about initialising a non- const reference wit...

order of destruction, singletons & std::ostream 3 159 (8/8/2007 9:54:45 AM) comp.lang.c++.moderated We have a class in our system which is a singleton and it has 2 std::auto_ptr members. You get hold of the instance by calling the getInstance() method which is inlined and does inline Fred& Fred::getInstance(... ThosRTanner

temporary objects 2 126 (7/19/2007 8:58:00 AM) comp.lang.c++.moderated This question is vaguely related to messages related by gimpel software flexelint. It says this sort of thing: class Proxy { public: Proxy(int); ~Proxy() { //basically, outputs the buffer ... ThosRTanner

avoiding duplicate code 3 173 (7/18/2007 6:59:51 AM) comp.lang.c++.moderated How does one avoid writing duplicate code for 'find' in an stl-like class. One has to write a const and a non-const version, thus iterator find(T t); and const_iterator find(T t) const; but I tend to find the ... ThosRTanner

wrapper classes and pointers 2 140 (6/29/2007 6:59:19 AM) comp.lang.c++.moderated We have a class whose instances tend to be passed around by pointer, of the sort of thing Thing *pointer; pointer = Thing::get_instance(); //Somewhat later pointer->some_operation(); Now, we want to wrap Th...

pimpl and const correctness 6 130 (6/27/2007 6:23:27 AM) comp.lang.c++.moderated Question: Why does this: class splog { int *wibble; public: void bork() const { * wibble = 1; } }; void jim(splog const&will) { will.bork(); } compile? It seems a pretty dangerous... ThosRTanner

use of "inline" 3 92 (4/2/2007 11:52:22 AM) comp.lang.c++.moderated I'm somewhat confused as to how I should read the standard about inline functions. Section 7.1.2 reads: A function declaration (8.3.5, 9.3, 11.4) with an inline specifier declares an inline function. So, what... ThosRTanner

pthread_join "quirk" 6 181 (8/4/2006 3:17:42 PM) comp.unix.programmer I suspect this might be solaris specific, but anyway: I have a program which does this: pthread_t threads[max_threads]; for (t = 0; t < max_threads; ++t) { int err; while (err = pthread_create(&thread[... ThosRTanner

std::string, c_str and optimisers 20 91 (5/31/2006 3:04:06 AM) comp.lang.c++.moderated Question: At what point should the destuctor of a string be invoked. I have some code which does something like this: std::string s; char const *t; ,,,, read s from a file ... t = s.c_str(); //s is never used... ThosRTanner

What are the benefit and the drawback of defining a class embedded inside another class? For example: class List { public: int count; class iterator { int index; }; }; Is ... xiangliangm (2)

When to use #include <> and #include " " 18 18 (5/17/2005 12:58:10 PM) comp.lang.c++ My question is, if I have created my own library which lives in its own install directory, to refer to its header file is it better to use #include "MyLibrary.h" or #include Assume that this library will b... matt9320 (1)

Knowing the implementation, are all undefined behaviours become implementation-defined behaviours? 61 32 (2/14/2010 6:03:38 AM) comp.lang.c -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Deferencing a NULL pointer is undefined behaviour, but, on Linux, the program crashes with SIGSEGV. So, the behaviour of derefencing a NULL pointer is defined to... miklcct (62)

For example: void *memory = malloc( 0x1000 ); char *pString = static_cast( memory ); or char *pString = reinterpret_cast( memor... immortalnephi (95)

Throwing unexpected exceptions 6 41 (6/16/2011 8:50:55 AM) comp.lang.c++ In Stroustrup's "The C++ programming language" I read that throwing an exception that is not declared to be expected in a function causes std::unexpected() to be called. I tried the difference with the followi... urs (44)
