this miserable pile of angle brackets and colons allegedly wraps a c function that uses setjmp/longjmp for error handling (lol libjpeg) such that it throws c++ exceptions instead and im not sure if it’s terrible or awesome

maybe “awful” in the olde English sense is the word I’m looking for

This is actually pretty neat. setjmp/longjmp error handling in stuff like lua means you need to compile these C libraries as C++ just so destructors run and that's a nightmare. That said, this code is deffo c++11/c++14. result_of_t was deprecated in c++17 and removed for c++20.

A more "modern" code example would look like this. i probably hosed up the perfect forwarding for returning a value but who cares you get the idea

it's a few years old yeah. still, c++ generics just look like :pwn: to me

e: the same guy has also written a good deal of video dsp code that uses c++ templates in combination with assembler intrinsics and there's just something vaguely unsettling about that to me

I understand what it is supposed to do (turning C-style "exception handling" into C++-style)

I read 50 lines and I think I understand them

but now my brain wants to turn off

tbqh the idea of converting setjmp/longjmp to a c++ exception entirely within c++ without using ABI specific info is an insane idea and I never would have thought it was possible

Modern C++ >= 14 is cool and good and makes C++ almost a higher level language.

If the C++ is hard to read, it's probably because of either:
1) A garbage programmer who is probably afraid of function pointers and uses threads with callbacks for everything
2) A C programmer who treats C++ as just C with classes and doesn't use it like a modern language.
3) A P-Lang developer who never learned C and tries to treat C++ as a pure P-Lang.

You need a C++ guy who knows C and P-Langs, and has embraced C++ as a modern language.

Either way, modern C++ is cool and good.

is there a better way to json.loads() something and failover to an empty object if the string is bad than just a try catch?

it seems hacky to have to trycatch for thousands of lines that might fail this json parsing step

thing is the alternative to try/except here is

code:
foo.get('bar', {}).get('baz', {}).get('loren', {}).get('ipsum')
on the resulting dictionary. please us try/except for this specific thing, or at least something like https://pydash.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#pydash.objects.has

i did it after i posted about it i just wanted to talk about terrible programming in the terrible programming thread tef, gosh

this dataset is literally going to fall into the except clause 60,000 times a day so it feels really bad to rely on catches here. i probably should just count brackets on any string that's max length but its not really worth the trouble, I was just wondering and honestly kinda surprised that json.loads doesn't have some kind of default argument like dict.get does

exceptions are pretty cheap in python when compared with the rest of the intepretation, it's cool

i mean, i prefer getattr(item, name, default) style stuff where possible, but 60k times a day is uh just over once a second, you have time
