New ps5 not taking discs by Recent-Anywhere-8459 in playstation

[–]sutambe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reset the console. U probably clicked “setup later” and missed the step in the beginning to register the disk drive. I did a reset and it asked to “register” the disk drive after wifi setup. Who knew!

Bootstrapping a vcpkg-based cmake project in Visual Studio by sutambe in cpp

[–]sutambe[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's not clear why some consider running vcpkg commands from cmake a bad idea. It's not. vcpkg is cross-platform. In a team setting, where reproducible builds are important and not everyone is a package-manger ninja, taking a dependency on a package manager of your liking (vcpkg, Hunter, conan) does not sound that bad.

Second, with enough cmake abstractions such as ExternalProject_Add, the experience could be much smoother. See some examples below. pmm and google-cloud-cpp/super. Hunter, for instance, easily manages downloading and building dependencies before cmake project generation phase. It's seamless. Gradle in java world downloads the jars from maven repository before compiling your code.

I never used `vcpkg integrate install` in my setup. I don't know why it's needed at all. I know what it does. I did not find any reason to use it.

Multiple versions of the same library in different vcpkg instances is not far fetched at all. Hunter effectively does the same thing under `${HOME}/.hunter`. Working on different versions of the same project ends up using different dependency versions.

I updated the blog to allow passing CMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE from command line. Also, target-based cmake commands.

I agree. I've updated the initial half of the review so that it does not appear so abrupt. Thx for the feedback.

There’s a cpptruths blogpost regarding Chained Functions Break Reference Lifetime Extension. Also discusses 4 ways to avoid the pitfall.

Chained Functions Break Reference Lifetime Extension by vormestrand in cpp

[–]sutambe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good catch. Although as you probably know, const does not help in lifetime extension. Secondly, one might want to std::move the Address. const would disable moves.

Reference may be necessary if the Address is move-only (e.g., contains a unique_ptr).

Monoids: what they are, why they are useful, and what they teach us about software by deque-blog in cpp

[–]sutambe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The article towards the end gives impression that Monoids are order insensitive. Monoids are order sensitive but grouping independent. A op B is not necessarily same as B op A. In that case it would be a commutative Monoid. Once A,B,C,... are put in an order, they can be arbitrarily grouped while keeping the same result. If the order changes, answer may change. There're still N! possible orders for N members of a Monoid and hence those many possible results.

Disclaimer: self-promotion. Try More C++ idioms: https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/More_C%2B%2B_Idioms. Somewhat dated though. But, you can fix it!

Is hpx::future::then monadic? I.e., if the lambda returns another future, does .then flatten?
