C++
-
Speaking of skills I had once learned, I find myself coding in C++ again for the Beaglebone Black. While it's a nostalgic experience, I really, really, don't miss it. It's as if someone were to give me back my first car in the same condition it was in when I gave it away. Functional, does the job, etc., but old and clunky. Oh, and have I said before how I loathe Eclipse? Indeed I have. Unfortunately, the Eclipse IDE just adds to the annoyance of working in C++. For $350, this[^] is becoming more and more attractive.

If you are using a recent compiler, you should be able to use C++ 11 features like lambdas that would make it similar to your C#/Java programming.

similar in concept, but the syntax leaves a bit to be desired.

That would help, but it's also things like writing header files to define the class structure and the a separate cpp file for the implementation. Seems archaic. And then of course, the huge issue -- having to remember to delete objects! Having automated garbage collection is just so nice. Marc

I totalled mine. Then it turned out that it was insured for more than I paid for it, so I made money on the transaction. Plus cool scars that chicks dig. :cool:

Well, once you get used to unique_ptr and shared_ptr, that should take care of that issue :-)

Nice way to take advantage of Marc's boring analogy and use it as a chance to tell us about your first car. Been dying to do that, haven't you? :rolleyes:

I've programmed in both, in fact, I cut my teeth on C++, programmed in it exclusively for over 15 years and I really like the language. But I also have, in more recent years, spent most of my time doing C#, it has much to offer. And I've grown used to they way things are done in C#, so now I find myself wishing C++ would do some things the C# way --sometimes-- and other times, I wish for C# to adopt some C++ isms. Almost sounds like I'm talking about "D". Maybe I should make a "D++" language. We could always use another... :rolleyes:

Every time I've taken a short break from C++ and done only C#, the return to C++ had been a little difficult. Your brain just struggles for a day or two getting used to having to think more. The faster way more responsive apps make up for that though :-)

At $100 I highly recommend this tool: http://www.wingdb.com/wgFeatures.htm[^] I've been using it since 2010. It works extremely well. I will have to check out VisualGDB.

Last standardization made
C++much more attractive, in my opinion. However, I recognize that highly depends on your needs. For instance, I still love coding inCbut I preferLuafor fast prototyping and whenever higher level features are of great advantage (for the coder).Marc Clifton wrote:

Man, using
Javacode for writingC++is frustrating, both for the developer and theC++itself. On the lucky sideviis written inC.THESE PEOPLE REALLY BOTHER ME!! How can they know what you should do without knowing what you want done?!?! -- C++ FQA Lite

Definitely useful. While I sound like a curmudgeon, it's still a bandaid. But...thank you for pointing (harhar) those out -- I'll make use of them, looks like gcc-linaro supports those constructs. Guess I should tool up on my knowledge of where C++ has gone since I last used it. :-O Marc
