Also be aware that sometimes compilers will initialise variables when in 'debug mode' but leave them untouched when in 'release mode'.

Don't try to second guess the compiler.

I once wrote a set of image container classes with associated iterators. The iterators were based on a class heirarchy about four levels deep, with the base...

I have a template defined thus...


namespace stdi3
{
template <typename T, const size_t MAX_SIZE>

private:

Well, actually, I'd much prefer a system were adding a path or string to a path would add the path separator, unless the string was already prefixed/postfixed with the separators.

If you want to...

What other languages use is of no concern to me. It's what the 'conventions' are for C++ that matter.

Maybe, maybe not, but STL strings have been around for a long long time and the slight...

Whilst I agree that, in a couple of instances, there are operators who's meaning in certain contexts have become canonical (and with '+' for strings I don't think it was a particularly great mental...

But that's my point. When you look at the operator your first thought will be "how would the canonical understanding of this operator apply to this context". It just doesn't work for '/'.



The...

I don't see that '+' would be a problem in this case.
You are adding a path to a path and a string to a path. This would be surely be accomodated by overloads of the '+' operator.


std::path...

I don't disagree that there is a logic behind choosing the '/' operator, it's just that you could come up with 'logical' uses for overloaded operators for all sorts of things. I did it in the past...

I've been reading up on an introduction to the TR2 file system library in Visual Studio 2012.

I can't say I was very impressed by choice of using the '/' operator to concatonate file paths.

The template parameter doesn't even have to be a type.

Here's a template with a non-type parameter, with defaults.


template <const size_t SIZE = 1024>
class FixedLengthContainer
{

};

It doesn't for me.



This does compile. Are you sure you didn't mean this?


template<typename T = int>
class abc
{

I'm assuming that you're asking this question to understand legacy C code.

As you are using C++, the equivelent code in your first example would be.


#include <iostream>
#include <string>
...

When people try to debug linked lists, my advice (along with stepping through with the debugger) is to get pencil and paper out and draw the sequence of node connections you expect to see when a...

Did you include <string> ?

Yes, that's the way I'd approach it.

Would std::array be a happy compromise?

The motorcycle that you once bought new is now featured in 'Classic Bike'.

If you think you can determine the efficiency of a piece of C++ code just 'by looking' then you should maybe read this.

It's to do with this bit.

"the most derived class's ctor needs to directly call the virtual base class's ctor"

Only 'Fred' can do this as it is a 'friend'. It is private to all other derived...

The key line is in the article.

"Class Fred can access FredBase's ctor, since Fred is a friend of FredBase, but no class derived from Fred can access FredBase's ctor, and therefore no one can...

I was watching a repeat of "Stargate SG1 - Ark of Truth" last night when I noticed that the source code of the 'Replicators' created by the Asgard computer bore an uncanny resemblance to Javascript....

Pity we can't see the original question any more.

It's not considered good etiquette to erase your earlier posts from a thread.

Not here it doesn't.

BTW the function 'getName' doesn't.
