Interesting, it might be possible to *actually* #program a much niceer #rust #grammar that is more #familiar to #cpp https://matklad.github.io/2023/01/26/rus.. I'm still not quite sold on it, but this would go a long way making me more accepting of it.
Someone getting very #mad about the C #language , but not really understanding why it really became #popular https://faultlore.com/blah/c-isnt-a-lang.. For example, #cpp exists, and yet for kernel stuff, we still use C, despite C++ being fully capable of doing everything C can in a similar #syntax . C is used because it does not need to rely on anything existing, it's compatible nowhere, but also runs everywhere.
Pretty cool #small #cpp #implementation of #optional https://github.com/Sedeniono/tiny-option..
#remind me to use this in some C or #cpp #code ! https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7825.. Especially when handling an #error , it is pretty funny! #trigraphs could be used for all kinds of #programming #trolling .
Very interesting to see how it could be possible to #compile #cpp to #wasm ! https://github.com/ern0/howto-wasm-minim.. This will be useful for the #linuxpda #project !
Oh dear, #china 's #cpp 's #national #plunge #detection #team is #buying tonnes of #stocks in #fear of an imminent #recession https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/chinas.. This does not look good!
Considering using #unqlite for the #linuxpda #database #library https://unqlite.org/ It seems #small , #simple #cpp , #selfcontained , #nosql , etc. Quite impressed. Unfortunately it seems like it has a non permissable #license that requires #payment https://github.com/symisc/unqlite It's not even clear it could be easily #distributed under this #license ...
A very interesting piece #terminal #gui #tui called #finalcut https://github.com/gansm/finalcut It apparently is written in #cpp and even supports #mouse #input ! Apparently it is even structured like the #qt #framework ... Really nice stuff!
Impressive #implementation of #bitcoin written in nothing more that #cpp - much smaller than well-known and accepted implementations: https://github.com/chjj/mako
Awesome, an #opensource #os written in #cpp called #toaruos https://github.com/klange/toaruos *Very* impressive #hobby OS.
Interesting, turns out that #cpp can #optimize at #compile time pretty well! https://lemire.me/blog/2021/10/26/in-c-i.. It's not fully #robust though, but highly impressive.
Interesting, never knew of the #delete #functionality in #cpp https://quuxplusone.github.io/blog/2021/.. Learn something new everyday!
I'm still not #convinced to give up on #cpp in favour of #rust https://pvs-studio.com/en/blog/posts/073.. The first thing #rust needs to do is show some #compiler and #language #stability . Secondly, it needs to actually prove its claims! #abstraction does not mean #speed , #safety or #memory #efficiency !
This was an interesting #rabbithole with #cpp http://rachelbythebay.com/w/2021/09/29/a.. Turns out that the #gnu #library is written like crap: https://drewdevault.com/2020/09/25/A-sto.. Particularly, this is #libc vs #glibc ... You would think that checking #character #type would be super easy.
This is a good overview of the differences between #java and #cpp https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgta.. A few #traps !
Very interesting article on #atan 2f #optimization in #cpp https://mazzo.li/posts/vectorized-atan2... The #performance increase is pretty epic!
