Vectors And Lists

3 days ago by bulldozer00

In C++ programming, everybody knows that when an application requires lots of dynamic insertions into (and deletions from) an ordered sequence of elements, a linked list is much faster than a vector. Err, is it? Behold the following performance graph that Bjarne Stroustrup presented during his keyno ...

Ghastly Style

4 days ago by bulldozer00

In Bjarne Stroustrup‘s keynote speech at “ Going Native 2012“, he presented the standard C library qsort() function signature as an example of ghastly style that he’d wish programmers and (especially) educators would move away from: Bjarne then presented an alternative style, which not only yields c ...

Admittance Of Imperfection

100 days ago by bulldozer00

One of the traits I admire most about Bjarne Stroustrup is that he’s not afraid to look “ imperfect” and point out C++’s weaknesses in certain application contexts. In his “ Technical Report On C++ Performance“, Mr. Stroustrup helpfully cautions real time programmers to think about the risks of usin ...

Constrained Evolution

156 days ago by bulldozer00

In general, I’m not a fan of committee “ output“. However, I do appreciate the work of the C++ ISO committee. In “Evolving a language in and for the real world”, Bjarne Stroustrup articulates the constraints under which the C++ committee operates: Bjarne goes on to describe how, if the committee ope ...

A Costly Mistake For Many

173 days ago by bulldozer00

In “ Learning Standard C++ as a New Language“, Bjarne Stroustrup gives a slightly different take on the waterfall method of software-intensive system development: “… treating programming as merely the handmaiden of analysis and design doesn’t work either. The approach of postponing actual discussion ...

The Emergence Of The STL

186 days ago by bulldozer00

In the preface to the 2006 Japanese translation of “ The Design and Evolution of C++“, Bjarne Stroustrup writes about how the C++ STL containers/iterators/algorithms approach to generic programming came into being. Of particular interest to me was how he struggled with the problem of “ intrusive” co ...

One Size Fits All

190 days ago by bulldozer00

On Bjarne Stroustrup’s FAQ page, he state’s his opinion on the utility of object oriented programming: The strength of OOP is that there are many problems that can be usefully expressed using class hierarchies – the main weakness of OOP is that too many people try to force too many problems into a h ...
