..., except that it is more concise, provides the serialization machinery for free, and provides an ironclad guarantee against multiple instantiation, even in the face of sophisticated serialization or reflection attacks. While this approach has yet to be widely adopted, a single-element enum type is t...

...though when the application is completely closed the operating system will free up any unfreed memory and other resources. In both abort and exit program termination (assuming you didn't override the default behavior), the return code will be returned to the parent process that started your applic...

...ns which may perform some useful function within one's own program. One is free to call the system calls directly (using assembler) but it is probably easier to just make use of one of the wrapper functions that the platform supplies. There is another level of API that are a lot more useful than a ...

... the module system works in Python. You can get a sort of "singleton" for free, just by importing it from a module. Define an actual instance of an object in a module, and then any client code can import it and actually get a working, fully constructed / populated object. This is in contrast to J...

...; } A swappable type that needs customization should have a two-argument free function called swap in the same namespace as the type. (The namespace restriction lets unqualified calls to swap to work.) A container type should also add a public swap member function to match the standard container...

...bits binaries provided by teeks99 (see other answer) appear to be the only free 64-bits binaries around. For a while, BoostPro also provided 64-bits binaries, but as of 1.51 they appear to be out or business. So, there we're back to two options again: the teeks99 binaries, or building your own. Mo...

... you need later (like a particular connection). It's always recommended to free resources you're no longer using, even if you don't need them again, simply because you shouldn't generally be holding onto resources you're not using (pun intended). The Microsoft example is not incorrect, necessarily....

...ich can be accessed through only processor-1. Thus, even if processor-2 is free and processor-1 is performing some other task, the special computation task cannot proceed on processor-2. Case 5: also rare, but not quite as rare as Case 4. A non-concurrent code can be a critical region protected by m...
