So like Hintjens wrote?
"Learning a large language like C++ is like memorizing the first thousand prime numbers. It is to fill your brain with junk without benefit."
No smart pointers or valgrind to the rescue tho? -
Then code in some higher level language so you dont deal with memory that much, I would never go back to C++.. Spent just too many days and nights like yours..

OrestH7488y@phorkyas we (in university) are not allowed to use not basic structures, which we hadn't learned(((
The issue is with struct dynamic allocation -
OrestH7488y@TrueFurby oh, dude, I wish i could)
I learn actually Java, Python and some DevOps stuff, but in university we have to learn C++...
In 2 years we will even learn x86 Asm
I joke that at the end we will code with 1s and 0s only) -
@OrestH So no STL or the like? Well,.. sounds like stone age or plain C - just like in my first job. Had to debug some nasty memory corruption and segfaults... So I still know the pain and don't know if really teaches you anything except to hate programming.
-
OrestH7488y@phorkyas no STL or Boost, bare C/C++, all algo and structures have to be coded by ourselves) I'd rather learn Python))
-
C++ requires a working brain.
If brain runs below 50% use Java/.NET whatever.
Using newer version of c++ (11,14,17) you have to put some efforts in to fuck upp. -
firusvg13768y@OrestH One word - Valgrind! http://valgrind.org/
P.S. I suppose there are Windows/OSX (rough) equivalents. -
OrestH7488y@krister-alm it needs 150% of your brain to find a bug which throws exceptions in random moment and variable, but with the same struct
-
johnDoe32138yI didnt find C++ and Data structures all to difficult honestly, its dealing with Processes/threads going out of sync that I hate with C language, and deadlocks of course
-
@OrestH strange, never hade that problem with c++ (benen using it for almost 35 happt ears now).
However, trying outfit c# and Java always gives me strange errors that I feeling, for a newer language should never be.
Arter a day of c#/Java I always dom some c++/assembler just to clear my mind. -
OrestH7488y@krister-alm I used inheritance in a wrong way, have to practice more in C++)) learning ++ after Java and Python is bad idea

f03n1x65038yCould be worse, it could be objective-c, c++ crazy nephew that lights things on fire and has three types of booleans! Including one that uses YES and NO lol

sam966911Hats off to this lady .... I would have just flipped the machine
I have waitsted whole my day searching a bug with memory allocation in C++, and still don't know how to fix it! That moment, when coding took me far less time than searching that fucking bug... I feel that i missed anything, but all looks ok
I HATE C++ WITH IT'S FUCKING POINTERS!!!!!

hate it
