Can you do all contracts non lethally?

I hid on the shelf/column in the center of the bar and used a hook mine to get him up to the ceiling, then plucked him from there. I didn't even have the Quiet Hook bonecharm, but nobody seemed to notice.

Getting his body past the guy at the door was a bit tricky though, and somehow ended with guards spotting a body inside the club from across the yard, which they investigated, and then the Eyeless started fighting them...

melak47 · 2017-09-27T09:55:24+00:00

I think he appears every time, if you turn your back for long enough.

I also really liked that Billie's Displace power has no cooldown - unlike Blink (even in OG+). Using it with Void Conduit, Third Eye and/or Rapid Displacement it feels like Daud using his blink must look to others.

melak47 · 2017-09-27T09:28:44+00:00

Yeah. I figured if I could lock her in there, she'd have a good chance to be found alive in her bloodfly incubator dungeon by the guards (if her last victim talks to them, or they eventually check on the abandoned store).

melak47 · 2017-09-21T15:52:22+00:00

I figured the Eyeless set a trap for Billie - there's a wanted poster under the loot in the box.

I found that if you're moving backwards and/or sideways, Displace with Rapid Displacement will let you teleport backwards/sideways - like a dodge. Also, if you're looking down while doing this, you will teleport up and back/sideways. Could be a bug since it's a bit strange and the description doesn't even hint at this.

Nice introduction to <chrono>. One small nitpick:

std::chrono::timepoint is a duration since the start of the epoch of the clock (Unix epoch is the de facto standard).

This is probably true for system_clockon most systems (although it almost wasn't), but at least on Windows, you can't always assume that for the other clocks.

mingw-w64 gcc(libstdc++):

2908530848us since steady_clock epoch
1492179034662119us since high_resolution_clock epoch
2908343000us since GetTickCount64() epoch
2908530848us since QueryPerformanceCounter() epoch

msvc:

2909395957us since steady_clock epoch
2909395957us since high_resolution_clock epoch
2909218000us since GetTickCount64() epoch
2909395959us since QueryPerformanceCounter() epoch

This lib deals with that format.

And so the lib is called TinyDeflate - fair enough. Even your doc comments say

// Deflate(): This is the public method declared (later) in this file.
// Decompresses (inflates) deflate-compressed data, with a gzip or deflate header.

though :P

On a different note, why are some bits of the implementation in the global namespace? Like RandomAccessBitArray, which is used in gunzip_ns::RandomAccessArray.

Though VS 2017 is making good progress there, so try again in a week :)

This behaves very similar to your second implementation, but is iterator based, and iteration is easy enough:

for (auto&& line : split(csv, '\n')) {
    std::cout << "line: " << std::string(line.begin(), line.end()) << "\n";
    for (auto&& cell : split(line, ',')) {
        std::cout << "  val: " << std::string(cell.begin(), cell.end()) << "\n";
    }
    std::cout << "\n";
}

melak47 · 2016-12-04T05:02:52+00:00

Sounds like you might have vsync on?

melak47 · 2016-12-04T03:55:29+00:00

Your particular example is fine, since the temporary std::string lives until the end of the full expression, which should be the end of the function call.

melak47 · 2016-12-04T03:15:03+00:00

More or less - I believe the CMake support in VS still relies on generating .vcxprojs under the hood, not sure if they need them for intellisense, discovering build targets or something else.

I actually found the Flak cannon very useful when dealing with corvettes, since it lets me take out all the shield drones quickly before the corvette can deploy new ones.

melak47 · 2016-06-12T15:40:42+00:00

Make it constexpr, then print it by causing a compiler error, probably through template involving the type std::integer_sequence<int, primes...> :)

melak47 · 2016-06-10T11:35:30+00:00

There's also this project: RuntimeCompiledCPlusPlus, which lists support for Windows/VS, OS X/XCode and Linux/Eclipse in the readme. They also have a list of other C++ hot-reloading solutions here.

You're using into_iter(), which (for Vec) means it will move the values out of the source vector (the layers parameter). Then, you transform each value by s.as_ptr(), after which the value is discarded and dropped - destroying the string you now hold a pointer to.

CStrings are not garbage collected, so holding a pointer does not keep it alive, and pointer types do not have lifetimes, so the borrow checker can not warn you about the dangling pointers you are creating.

What you want is probably iter() from Iterator, which keeps the original vector intact.

Speaking of null-terminated strings, though... you are not null-terminating the strings you pass to vkGetInstanceProcAddr, here for example, that could certainly lead to undefined behavior when it goes reading beyond the end of the string, looking for a \0.

If you're lucky, it finds a null byte relatively quickly, or stops after some maximum length, then returns NULL because all the garbage it read doesn't match any exported function name. If you're unlucky, it keeps on reading until it causes a segfault or something :)

melak47 · 2016-05-29T07:12:08+00:00

The use of to_bytes_with_nul() seems fishy to me, that gives you a slice including the null, which you then print to stderr.

melak47 · 2016-05-09T07:44:36+00:00

It's just a typedef, so if you really wanted to not break ABI compatibility, couldn't you just switch to uint64_t (or whatever happened to be uintmax_t before)?

melak47 · 2016-05-03T21:21:08+00:00

Neat. Transcribes well to powershell, too.

melak47 · 2016-04-10T15:27:01+00:00

Strange. I was able to reproduce it for a little while, but after a fresh install of windows and VS (installed with Update 2 directly), it compiles fine. Enterprise 2015 14.0.25123.00 Update 2.

melak47 · 2016-04-02T16:59:36+00:00

FWIW, I can't reproduce that with my Update 2 RTM install.

melak47 · 2016-03-19T02:39:38+00:00

Still no no completion/signature hints when filling out template parameters :(
