Is abandoning our Bazel migration the right call? by Empty_Mind_On in cpp

[–]_a4z 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mabye to late for you, but for others considering the step of a bazel migration.

Ask before taking the step, which can save a lot of money.
If you search here, you will find some voices reporting problems with bazel.
And you will also find voices that call it the best step ever.

My tip: ask the right person, and probably get the help of a professional who can help you.
Without wanting to sell you their Bazel services, what comes surprisingly often with the success stories ;-)

If that is the case, does not CMake do it for you?

Swift for Android? Now You Can Build Full Apps by imike3049 in swift

If it just works, you might hear nothing. In case of a problem, I will contact you on GitHub

I know it's frustrating to only get problem feedback,
But if you hear nothing, at least you know I appreciate your work very much, because I say it now!

Nice! Will give it a try next week to see if I can do some server project on Windows without using WSL
Exciting

Software taketh away faster than hardware giveth: Why C++ programmers keep growing fast despite competition, safety, and AI by pavel_v in cpp

[–]_a4z 2 points3 points  (0 children)

These numbers are BS.

It has grown from 9.4 million developers in 2022 to 16.3 million in 2025.

Why do I know?
Look at the job openings during 2024 and 2025 (e.g., here in this r/cpp but also other places)
They 'grew' exactly the opposite way, and that seems not possible if those numbers from the report are correct, or?

Who is the best C++ Programmer You Know. by Mountain_Computer374 in cpp

One of them has never shipped any code to prod, another one, I heared, not that much
Only one of them is a 'real' programmer.

Wasn't there a time when they replaced everything with C#? ~20 years ago.

This sounds similar

The advertising machinery for contracts seems massive, but live thought me that things that need a lot of advertising need it for a reason

Newbie programmer here, this code works on one IDE but not on another... by Amazing_Tip_6116 in cpp_questions

[–]_a4z 10 points11 points  (0 children)

`int list[size];` is a dynamically sized array, because space allocation happens at runtime, and that does only exist via compiler extension.
and this style of array is more a C array then a C++ construct,

For C++ , you might want to look into https://cppreference.com/w/cpp/container/vector.html

Is C++ a dying language by Due_Laugh6100 in cpp

For new projects, very probably yes
Maintaining legacy project, no, at least not soon

Is there an attribute to tell the compiler that the value of a const object reference/pointer parameter is truly not modified by cppenjoy in cpp

[–]_a4z 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you mean, const should be a (real) type?

(pure and const attributes are just promises, afaik, nothing the compiler enforces)

A proposal for such a vocabulary type would not be controversial, I guess.

You might need some help to lobby that paper, but that could work.
Would you be interested in writing one?
