if theres one thing i want in a font its to make it even harder to distinguish (if x == 0) from (if x = 0)

the ligature for == is significantly longer than the = character is; i've never once had a problem with this

with that said, the -> ligature is nice when working with lambdas

it's super nice in c++, as is the 0x ligature when doing stuff in hex

it's good to me, and cool, that c++ will happily compare the value of a pointer to '\0' without so much as a warning

some wunderkind on the c++ committee thought that "ptr == 0" looked more aesthetically pleasing than "ptr == NULL"

then everybody else belatedly realized that this person is a loving moron so now there's a built in type called nullptr_t or something

except that the == 0 thing still works and of course '\0' is equivalent to 0

c++ is such a trash fire

i get that it's valid c but it's loving obnoxious that g++ won't even throw a warning for that one. i had a construct like this:

code:

for (const char* cp = str; *cp != '\0'; ++cp) { }

which is a perfectly valid way of iterating through a c-string right up until you gently caress up and forget to dereference cp in the ending conditional and the whole thing blows up

My g++ (7.2.0) will actually throw a hard error there:

C++ code:

#include <iostream>

int main() {
    int * p = 0;
    std::cout << (p == '\0') << std::endl;
}

pre:

$ g++ test.cpp -o test
test.cpp: In function 'int main()':
test.cpp:5:24: error: ISO C++ forbids comparison between pointer and integer [-fpermissive]
     std::cout << (p == '\0') << std::endl;

well mine doesn't, so there :colbert:

update your software OP

More seriously, does -Wconversion catch that on your g++? I would imagine it should, but I could see '\0' implicitly being given a pointer type to begin with and thus not being "converted".

ah, here we go

code:

$ g++ -std=c++03 test.cpp
$ g++ -std=c++11 test.cpp
test.cpp:5:21: error: comparison between pointer and integer ('int *' and 'int')
    std::cout << (p == '\0') << std::endl;
                  ~ ^  ~~~~

just use std::string

string str;

i work in a c++03 hellworld, we don't have your fancy for-each loops (or auto, for that matter)

fritz posted:

why would you not do:

code:

const size_t slen = strlen(str);
for(int i=0; i <slen; i++) { }

i could do this in theory, but i need this to be as fast and lightweight as possible so i don't want to double-iterate the string if possible. also just as personal preference i usually try to avoid the default c-string manipulation methods because they're all full of demons and poo poo that i don't understand that will explode if i'm not careful

then
for( string::const_iterator it = str.begin(); it != str.end(); ++it ) {}

it's a c-string embedded in a serialized buffer that i'm parsing byte-by-byte

how big are your strings / how tight is your time constraint that you don't want to do the second pass

this is a core piece of our most fundamental software package that needs to be able to process huge amounts of laser data in real-time. they're not big strings, admittedly (usually, anyway). also it's working fine now so w/e

JavaScript code:

???

i know basically no javascript but my assumption here would be that process.env.NODE_ENV is not a string "prod" but the literal value prod, maybe stored as an enum or something

Yeah, sensible programming languages trim whitespace from both ends of the string before performing comparisons...?

vim is actually good if you are keyboard and text oriented, which many programmers are. sure there are fancy IDEs and i definitely use those too, sometimes that's what you need to get the job done, but vim-style modal editing really is very fluid once you get over the learning curve, and for some people that's worth it

vim is extremely fast to use once you're over that learning curve, and you're always learning cool new things. also if you're willing to put in the effort to set up plugins (which i get can be a dealbreaker) you can even get nice features like autocomplete and source tree browsing and git integration and such

vim unironically owns
