Why is sizeof called a compile-time operator? @MichaelT: The size of an instance of a type can certainly change -- there's class polymorphism, after all. I'd argue that sizeof(polymorphic_ptr*) being constant is quite counter-intuitive and just silly. Yeah, it's the C++ way, but silly nevertheless. |

I'm having trouble learning Saying that being a computer scientist is about computers is like saying that being a violinist is about making violins. The engineering aspect is a separate discipline. Now good violin makers must play their instrument decently, just as good software engineers should be proficient in computer science, of course. |
