So I spent a big chunk of my life living next door to Louisiana (Houston) and now I live next door to Quebec (Toronto) and it just this moment occurred to me to check if Quebec has beignets. Like, I'd simply assumed if I ever went liking for beignets I'd find them. So I asked a Quebecoise friend, and

Okay, so they do have them, but—

Quebec beignets have holes???

My world is (topologically speaking) rocked

I was flabbergasted. I didn't expect it to be so bright and so colorful. Truly a spectacle!

Funny. I removed all modules from my C++ codebase (roughly 10% of it) and I got about 10-16% shorter compilation times. Not to mention Intellisense no longer crashing all over the place.

I wonder if it ever be a worthwhile feature to use.

gracicot,
@gracicot@mastodon.social avatar

@jakub_neruda the feature is not ready for prime time. Don't use it if the bleeding crashing edge is not your thing.

For compilation speed, it depends how fine grained your modules are. The smaller your modules are, the longer the compile time. They are not meant to replace headers 1:1. A good example is the STL, where any other splitting than just import std was found to be slower.

Crashing MSVC is too mainstream. Cool kids crash clang

Ok #cpp folks.

Is using static always evil or is having something like game state (paused, running, in menu etc) inside a static variable ok?

Or do i have to pass it around everywhere?

#programming

gracicot,
@gracicot@mastodon.social avatar

@aks usually, you should use a static function scope variable to create a singleton. Then you do your stuff through it.

I usually avoid global mutable variables though, or singleton of any form.

Does anybody know when it will be possible to mix #c++ named and classic with ?

@gracicot@mastodon.social avatar

@Schlangenmensch from what I understood, you can include then import, but not the other way around. Minus bugs of course

Module support in MSVC is a garbage fire https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/3921

gracicot,
@gracicot@mastodon.social avatar

@vitaut MSVC support is excellent, as long as you're only doing hello world, just like how they test before calling a feature "ready"

A formal specification for a C++ package and dependency manager has been published. This will be very interesting for the language going forwards.

See: https://isocpp.org/ for more info.

Maybe my next tech goal should be to get a Raspberry Pi 3 or 4. Here in Brazil there's finally an official reseller that's not too expensive and actually has them in stock.

Like maybe in two or three months?

The 10+ year old computer I've been using as a music server is close to dying too, and a Raspberry Pi would be more power efficient.

Alternatively I could use it to play with embedded Qt and Yocto.

@herzenschein electronics in Brazil are just so hard to find. I was just looking for a pendrive with usb 3 support and we ended up in a super fancy specialized electronics store just to find it.

Really warming up to NixOs by just enjoying seemless bleeding edge packages under Ubuntu using Home Manager.

People have been telling me for years. I should have tried harder before.

I'm still not convinced it's worth going cold-turkey since pure NixOs seems like an awful lot of reinventing the same old boring stuff in a new way (but for the last time?! famous promise). The mix is fantastic. Blows docker out of the water. Really nice for CI/QA

Does anyone know how to get or 's C and C++ indenter to indent switch statements sanely? I don't want this sort of alignment at all, and I certainly don't want it to align with a mix of tabs and spaces

@mort Clang format keep trying to align the inside of blocks sometimes. It drives me crazy. Who wants to read code that starts at column 70??

Off to Tokyo for the C++ ISO meeting!

14 hours in a tiny box with a 24 inch monitor. It will be just like home.

@Sdowney Dang, I had some feedback for a paper. I think I'll try to send it as an email to the SG7 mailing tonight. One reflection paper is proposing features for dependency injection, and I'm the maintainer of a DI lib. I think this paper is missing a couple of really important detail to do proper DI.

gracicot, (edited )
@gracicot@mastodon.social avatar

@Sdowney I sent the message on SG7 mailing. I hope I'm not too late for the meeting that is happening and I hope what I'm talking about is not too crazy 😅 🤞

gracicot, (edited )
@gracicot@mastodon.social avatar

@DanielaKEngert @Sdowney I haven't written or helped on a paper yet. I just gave my feedback on the SG7 mailing list, I thought it could be useful material for the author. If I ever help on the paper I guess that would probably be after the post Tokyo.
