Corey, Some give run-time errors in debug mode (in release mode it 'works', but is probably silent data corruption). The last int* p1 = p1 gives a compiler error. I was trying to list all the pathological uses of memory. In practice of course, new and delete are separated in code, so it is not clear what to do. I have the following categories wild pointers (int* m; delete m) dangling pointers double free bug memory leak I think that...

I think a viable strategy for "spare" time is to get better at what you are good at. To get the best jobs, you must beat others, and that means a different balance between competent at many things and shit hot at fewer. Out the other side of the MFE, moving from (I'm guessing) the top half of MFEs in C++to the top 10% of MFEs who've done C++, is achievable and vastly more useful than getting a bit of the other languages....

See http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2008/n2497.html boost.thread should basically implement what is presented in this paper.

Try allocating all the objects at once, then copy missing the vtable pointer. If allocating an inherited class, see if you can miss the vtable pointer faster by copying the memory at one time..... ....might be something like this...where base_class is the base class name and object is your source object if you can figure out the memory offset.... memcpy(((base_class*)this)+1, object, sizeof(*this) - sizeof(class base_class)); Edited: Thu Dec...

Say you have a Macbook pro which is three years old. You want to sell to a store and buy another new one. In the States where can we sell it to other than e-bay?

J, assuming you've got sshd running on your Mac ( if you don't know, see http://support.apple.com/kb/TA20443?viewlocale=en_US ), any ssh client will do -- e.g. PuTTY http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/

If you are looking for a 20-page pdf on how to use them, I think not. I reckon that boost.org is the only choice at this moment. It's sparse, to be sure.

B::f1() in both cases. In the first case because a B is not necesarily a D; in second because D is always a B(substitutability principle). (but this example is scary; it works but what if the wrong function is being called? I would call this dangerous and far too clever by half). The solution is to define interfaces (aka pure virtual member function) and then use ...

Yes, too complicated... You can certainly use: myobject objects[4][8][8][2]; Why not? For example: #include <iostream> int main(int argc, char* argv[]) { int objects[4][8][8][2]; // put values inside for ( size_t i = 0; i < 4; ++i ) { for (size_t j = 0; j < 8; ++j ) { for ( size_t k = 0 ; k < 8; ++k ) {...

Treated right, Access can beat most server based systems for certain tasks. But it's a relational database which means it is not optimal for tick data, but of course is very cheap.
