You don't simply collect Garbage in Mordor! :-)
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats. His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

I reserve that one for some unit test. "YOU ! Shall! Not! Pass!" :-)

How much can you sell it for? And/or can you get 1 million (or more) devs to use it? That's our modern (cynical) measure for success so get on board. :rolleyes:

I needed some garbage-collector like advantages without the overhead so I wrote a 123 line file to give me exactly that. I love C++, and right now I don't know why I ever messed with .NET. :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup: I'm usually not one to holy roll about technology but this language absolutely rules. The only downside with it is it hides nothing (and it doesn't parse properly**), but hiding nothing is just as big an advantage as a liability. Oh how I missed you, C++. ** C++ should really be parsed with a GLR parser so you don't have to worry about incomplete types being a thing.

What's a line of code?
magic! :laugh:

It doesn't really do garbage collection as such. As an analogy imagine the garbage man came once a week and burned your house down. It's much more time and space efficient than taking out the trash. You can't actually delete objects in my scheme, only allocate to pools. You can recycle entire pools though, manually, freeing (invalidating) all pointers (or objects) therein. Doing it that way makes it fast fast fast and it works on constrained memory environments. Also it was easy to code.

How the heck is burning down a house every week efficient? :laugh:

Sure, C++ is love, but at what price does this "love" cost? your soul, I am sure. We are talking about C++ here. :laugh:
My soul? Oh that old thing? I think I traded it for some concert tickets back in the day.

It saves you from having to take the garbage out. ;P

That's more like deleting your entire application to solve a single bug... :~ Maybe you just don't know how analogies work? :laugh:

When I saw your post, I wondered how badly you were going to get flamed, given the popularity of C# on this site. I never thought this thread would stay so civilized, let alone be fairly positive. :)

I don't hate C++, but I don't share your sentiments. This is almost certainly my own failing, though—it's not a problem with the language so much (which is alright, I guess), I just always end up fighting with the compiler/linker. I've never worked with C++ enough to become much more than minimally competent with it.

I gave it away under the MIT license. It was just a little bit of code anyway.

There's a certain point - and it can take awhile with C++ - where you reach a level that it is no longer intimidating or as frustrating. True, I did recently spend all morning and ask a stackoverflow question because I missed a "=0" at the end of one of my functions and was responded to with "missing vtable for class" or some such, but that's life, you know? :laugh:
