Fluent in C++
-
So, as some of the longer term viewers may know, I used to be a C++ developer; way back in the mists of time. I loved C++ and then the new girl came to town and seduced me with her wiles. No longer would I put up with manual memory management, iterating over for statements when I could use the seductive foreach. Well, I have recently started getting quite heavily back into C++ using the newer additions to the language such as auto and for (auto index : my_vector) as a foreach. The features that are available now are great and C++ really has matured. So much so that I'm using it to write some drone software. I'm a big fan of fluent interfaces so I thought I'd play around and see how they work in C++ to see if I still want to keep with the new C++ and damn it, it's so straightforward.

return *this;

All of the input and output operators in old, old C++ offered fluent interfaces. cin >> x >> y; cout << setw(10) << x << setw(12) << y << endl; Ignoring references, you can always just
return this;
at the end of a function which requires code like:
variable->f1(args1)->f2(args2)->f3(args3);

I'm happy enough with what I've got now.

It's a vastly different language to the one I knew. As I have the advantage of writing from scratch, I have the advantage of not having to deal with legacy and cruft. It's a liberating experience.

It certainly is. :) Thought of coming along to the ACCU Conference? There's a strong C++ track (and sometimes even a C++ Pub Quiz with free beer...) there.

It depends how serious I get with this drone software. The more I'm playing around with this, the more I love working with drones and I can see me going further with it.

Sounds cool. Have fun!

I'll be writing this up and posting video footage so you will be able to take a look at least at some of the code. It's really cool stuff.

Look forward to it :)

You seem to be retaining the C# coding style, single-file and all :)

I'm really not. It was just easier to post a sample like that. My real code is spread out.

C++ and MFC; I did everything I could to avoid that sack of shite: Basic Assembler PC COBOL Pascal C Access dBase Paradox VB Clipper FoxPro Visual FoxPro Delphi C# Windows Forms WPF ...
I spent a lot of time in MFC. Then I discovered ATL and wasee hooked until I moved to .NET.
