comment The “blub paradox” and c++
@Ferruccio: Thanks for the link... there are a few in the Wikipedia article too. @MSalters: what makes you describe co-routines as "a nasty hack"? Seems a very arbitrary perspective to me. Using a stack to store state also done by recursive algorithms - are they hackish too? FWIW, coroutines and OOP came on the scene about the same time (early 1960s)... to say the former's a hack for objects in C seems bizarre... I'd imagine few C programmers back then were interested in emulating objects, >15 years before C++.

comment C++ Interview question
@Jonathan: re no padding - for sign-manitude representation, perhaps -0 could be a sentinel value for traps, at least theoretically (i.e. if an architecture did that it could still be Standard-compliant)...?

comment What programming tests can clearly prove developer skill-sets?
"as long as it compiles and produces the desired output" - beware people who puts("desired output") without calculating/generating it... :-/
