Here’s the average developer’s newest dilemma: Intel and other CPU manufacturers have moved full steam ahead into creating multi-core chips to speed up computing. These chips increase processing speed not
You have to be truly geeky to get it, but do you know what the inside joke is with the proposed C++ 0x standard? Simply that it has been labeled
nother C++0x feature is going to simplify the way you write C++ code. Instead of tediously writing the type of a variable when you declare it, a C++0x compiler will
ntil not long ago, multithreaded apps relied on nonstandard, platform-dependent APIs. C++0x is now in the process of adding a standard threading API, including auxiliary facilities such as thread-local storage.
ingletons, stream objects, and other classes must disable copying and assignment. However, C++ doesn’t yet provide a direct mechanism for disabling copying. Another related problem exists with undesirable conversions of
ost Standard Library algorithms operate on sequences whose boundaries are designated by a pair of iterators: one iterator marks the beginning of the sequence and another marks its end. Combining
++03 has a very limited set of tools for enforcing constraints on templates. Consequently, templates code becomes messy, unintelligible, and buggy. With the addition of concepts to C++09, this unsavory
omplex numbers are widely-used in electrical engineering, simulations, and scientific applications. And yet, many software engineers who have to use complex arithmetic insist on reinventing the wheel when there’s no
xplicit typecasting is considered are an abomination in object-oriented programming. However, prudery won’t change the fact that casts are still a widely-used feature in C++ programming. Therefore, knowing exactly which
