... over). The simplicity of a stack is that you do not need to maintain a table containing a record of each section of allocated memory; the only state information you need is a single pointer to the end of the stack. To allocate and de-allocate, you just increment and decrement that single pointe...

...o make a lot of difference to your TCO. For a first approximation, 98% portable is just as good as 100% portable, and far better than convoluted or poorly performing solutions to work around the limits of an ORM. I have seen the former approach work well on a very large (100's of staff-years) J2EE...

...nd is a test-and-branch. Both work. Both meet all of the requirements of Table 22 MoveAssignable requirements in the C++11 standard. The third also works modulo the non-memory-resource-concern. All three implementations can have different costs depending on the hardware: How expensive is a bran...

...se is to use "context-free" grammars and add hacks to the parsers ("symbol tables", etc.) to handle the context-sensitive part. Neither lexing nor parsing technology is likely to go away soon. They may be unified by deciding to use "parsing" technology to recognize "words", as is currently explore...
