Programming Style in Large Scale C++ Applications Great answer... additional point: age of the project. A vast majority of large C++ code bases have been around 10, 15 or even 20 years (QT began development in 1991). They date back to when C++ was not much more than "C with Classes" - and OO was a new paradigm. Much has changed, but that code remains.... |

Preventing Web Users From Using Their Location Bar Within An App @MichaelT: I think you have hit the nail on the head - disabling the nav. bar is a band-aid on a broken bone. If you apply enough band-aids it might help for a short time, but better to put it in a cast...... |

Modify then sell another person's code @MarkJ: Taking legal advise from strangers on the internet is questionable. Giving it more so, especially as you are wrong. A letter that "Gives you permision in writing" is quite a different proposition a contract that a lawyer will draw up. Will that permission spell out liabilty, accountability, declare right to give permission........ Think a poker game, "I'll see your letter and raise you a contract" |

Handling compiler bugs in Continuous Integration Option 4: Change the source code so the error is not exposed. The build is broken, the normal way to fix a broken build is change the source code. |

Why is C so high in TIOBE index of popularity, while C++ is just under here too, but not as popular? Add to this, most industrial control, most embedded systems, Automotive industry. The core of everything written before 1995 (That is not Cobol or Ada)..... |

Is GCC dying without threads support on Windows? I would almost argue given the inability of average programmers to write reliable multi-threaded apps, no thread support is a bonus..... |

Why are semicolons and commas interchanged in for loops? "Why Not" will provide the answer - by having the same answer - "Because someone needed to make a choice, and that is the choice they made" Same as "Why did they choose "{" and "}" and 1000 other choices they made - "Because". |

Is it possible to reach absolute zero bug state for large scale software? @Blrf: More importantly, If the end user does not know theres a bug, does it exist? |

Is there any difference between pointers and references? @blank: Under the bonnet (assuming a C++ style differentiation) they are the same. However the syntax differences make the difference in use significant. |

How important is it to reduce the number of lines in code? Studies that show (ref a)LOC===Bugs are a dime a dozen. Its a well known and accepted fact. What has not been shown (to my knowledge) is (ref b)"Reduce LOC in a code base === Reduce Bugs in that code base". Extrapolating (ref a) to claim (ref b) is unscientific. Publishing a paper that proves or disproves the relationship would be. |
