There’s a long running emotional battle over C++ exception handling. Rather than argue for or against either side, I’ll be going into low-level detail of how much it costs to use on Windows for both x86 …

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 …
