Jonny 290: May 5, 2005; [ASK] me about OS/2 Warp

real answer: "not a bit."

im not going to get waylaid with janitoring some ancient project because somebody's threatened by me and wants to farm me off to go pull my hair out over some old bullshit. i have more than enough projects to work me out the balance of 2013 and we all know what happens round christmas

yeah im the most in demand person in this facility and i'm going to go spend my time writing cee pluss plusssss instead of fixing relevant things

not so sure it is useless, even if the knowledge is seldom applied it is the sort of reasoning that is helpful. also applies to going to the library and leafing through taocp for a couple of hours now and then, even though one should very seldom write ones own data structures and such

The PL-thread-esque book has to be Concepts, Techniques, and Models of Computer Programming by Peter Van Roy.

I haven't gone far into it personally, but the point of the book is to visit the most paradigms possible. It's done by using Oz/Mozart and will show declarative programming, declarative concurrency, message-passing concurrency, explicit state, object-oriented programming, shared-state concurrency, and relational programming. There's also stuff in there about GUI programming, distributed programming, and constraint programming.

It's a massive brick, but it's been on my "to read" list for years now and I just never brought myself to getting very far into it. It has always been moved further back in the queue by shorter books that gave results faster.

One day, CTMCP. One day.

i like that the photo is sagrada familia, a building that is unfinished after 100+ years of continuous work and rework among arguments about the appropriate execution of the original design

beautiful, but both persistently unfinished and practically useless. someone on the editorial team has a sense of humor

The sizeof literal chars thing might actually be relevant

or ask to explain how you would implement C++ style classes in C (i.e. if you were bjarne in 1979)

there are plenty of dick questions in places where the semantics differ (sizeof('a') was mentioned, const is a good one which pops up in real code, inline likewise), but honestly just asking him to explain the difference between an array and a pointer will cause hilarity to ensue

multiple inheritance and argument evaluation precedence are things most people forget about

compile time recursion with variadic templates is fun

does "Foo&&" mean the same thing on both lines?

code:

Foo&& butt = someFoo;
void bar(Foo&& arg);

like all of these, plus "how is koenig lookup used in the stl", member initialization order, and some of the obscure keywords. maybe some gotw poo poo like

code:

f(std::unique_pointer(new X), std::unique_pointer(new X));

actually maybe I should just give him a very simple class and say "write an operator= for this class".

given a sample class implement the rule of three, see if he mentions or implements the rule of five. this is a fairly basic thing, but is a good immediate judge of whether or not he's kept up with modern c++
