Exceptions. The final frontier. We wanted to understand them. We thought we’ll love them, but they’ve lacerated our code. We hated them. We tried to do without them. We couldn’t because they kept on throwing themselves …
At GDC 2005, Chris Hecker stated that average game code is going to run slower on next-generation consoles than on the current generation. In many ways, he’s right. Programmers accustomed to having CPU silicon devoted to out-of-order execution …
The power of STL is partially due to its embracing elements of functional programming. Algorithms implemented in STL, such as for_each, accumulate, find, etc., have functional customization points. You can customize them by providing your own function objects—be …
Phoenix, Microsoft’s next generation compiler and tools framework, is built entirely in C++/CLI. Phoenix’s design leverages both the traditional strengths of C++ and …
Traditionally, memory allocation is approached as a monolithic, rigid design influenced by a performance-minded implementation. However, compile-time C++ techniques can yield a highly flexible and configurable design with the same performance profile as equivalent hand-implemented designs. This talk describes …
Is it possible to have the power and efficiency of C++, but in a much easier to use form? Walter will contrast C++ and D and show how, with D, one can achieve the same or better results with …
A presentation almost 20 years in the making! In this meeting, David Brownell will share a grab bag of C++ tips and tricks he has learned after 19 years of programming experience. Topics include designing with a design in …
In 2002, Bertrand Meyer, inventor of Eiffel, asked me to give a talk on C++ at ETH in Zurich, where he is a member of the Software Engineering faculty. Meyer is a well-known C++-hater …
