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.

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:
You'll never get very far if all you do is follow instructions.

similar in concept, but the syntax leaves a bit to be desired.
If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.-John Q. Adams
You must accept one of two basic premises: Either we are alone in the universe, or we are not alone in the universe. And either way, the implications are staggering.-Wernher von Braun
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.-Albert EinsteinThat depends on what you are used to. A lot of my C++ dev friends hate C# syntax.

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

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:

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

viis written inC.Unlike many of the PC and MacIntosh editors, the mouse does not move the cursor within the vi editor screen (or window). You must use the the key commands listed below. On some UNIX platforms, the arrow keys may be used as well; however, since vi was designed with the Qwerty keyboard (containing no arrow keys) in mind, the arrow keys sometimes produce strange effects in vi and should be avoided. OK, there's the stone ages, and then there's primordial ooze. vi belongs to the latter. ;) Marc

Boring? BORING??? Come now, I spent actual BC's (brain cycles) working that analogy. A little respect, please! Marc

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.

Bah. I prefer the C++014X version, and am positively drooling at what is being investigated for 17X.
