...mitigates the risk of vendor lock-in. It's really no different with C and C++ compilers, where you have many competing offerings as well all adhering to the C++ standard. Why is Java EE library version not in sync with standard Java library releases (Java EE 6 vs. Java 7) Java EE builds on Java S...

...sh them from function calls. GCC-specific syntax. Yes, this works in C and C++. No, the function does not need to be static. The destructor runs when the shared library is unloaded, typically at program exit. So, the way the constructors and destructors work is that the shared object file contains...

... co-author to all three of these winner-algorithm papers. "Algo.27" is the C++ implementation of Fraser's skip list. Gramoli's conclusion is that's much easier to screw-up a CAS-based concurrent tree implementation than it is to screw up a similar skip list. And based on the figures, it's hard to d...

C++11 allows inline namespace s, all members of which are also automatically in the enclosing namespace . I cannot think of any useful application of this -- can somebody please give a brief, succinct example of a situation where an inline namespace is needed and where it is the most idiomatic s...

...e are sitations where gotos are important: for instance, an exception-less C++ environment. In the Silverlight source we have tens of thousands (or more) of goto statements for safe function exist through the use of macros - key media codecs and libraries often work through return values and never e...

...ructors?" In C the answer is no. In CLU, F#, and Haskell it is yes. For C++ I am not sure—I would like to know. By contrast, static typing means that programs are checked before being executed, and a program might be rejected before it starts. Dynamic typing means that the types of values ar...
