... By my knowledge there is no overall way to do this. If you look at the headers of cross platform/multiple compiler supporting libraries you'll always find a lot of defines that use compiler specific constructs to determine such things: /*Define Microsoft V...

... __stdcall is the calling convention used for the function. This tells the compiler the rules that apply for setting up the stack, pushing arguments and getting a return value. There are a number of other calling conventions, __cd...

...to declare it explicitly. When you create an instance of the A class and call its methods, it will be passed automatically, as in ... a = A() # We do not pass any argument to the __init__ method a.method_a('Sailor!') # We only pass a single argument The __init__ method is roughly w...

...ain can become nested, and it quickly becomes unwieldy to wire them up manually. Even with factories, the duplication of your code is just not worth it. IoC containers can be complex, yes. But for this simple case I've shown it's incredibly easy. Okay, let's justify this even more. Let's say ...

...rate the data about each field(plus the field itself). This macro will be called like this: REFLECTABLE ( (const char *) name, (int) age ) So using Boost.PP we iterate over each argument and generate the data like this: // A helper metafunction for adding const to a type template<clas...

...pe To "effect a change" on a string represented as a C# String, you actually create a new String object. The original String is not changed ... because it is unchangeable. In most cases it is better to use String because it is easier reason about them; e.g. you don't need to consider the possib...
