Admitting defeat. No problems at all with compilers after all. I wrote a buggy accumulator and the bug manifested when the elements were ordered in a specific way. ... I was iterating over an unordered_map...

Career 1st. Discovering a potential code gen bug on C++ @VisualStudio compiler... ... While doing a take-home exercise for an interview. (Details TBD since I have to coordinate releasing the code to the public with the interviewer)

@geeksforgeeks fix your tests please... You're breaking my streak

@dyaroshev This is one of the real examples where "c++ requires a lot of boilerplate" really applies. If you know, you know... (Not spoiling with details as this can be a legit interview question in some shops)

One of my favorite C++ excercises - writing `heap_value` - a wrapper around T that stores that T on the heap. template <typename T> class heap_value { public: // private: T* x; }; You are not allowed to use unique_ptr. It requires a ton of things to do well.

From the perspective of deduplicating codepaths, it’s a compression problem—if you compress too early, you get bad compression, because good compression requires more information about the entire dataset. So you can’t deduplicate too early.

@DimiWantCracker The order is used by the dtor - some object refer each other and are calling methods in their respective dtors.

When a C++ class depends on a specific ordering of its members to work correctly - how is this anti-pattern called?

@sergei_am Member reordering implies layout sensitivity. Could you maybe hoist the problematic initialisation to a (potentially-defaulted) ctor parameter? Hard to know without seeing code 😔

@DimiWantCracker The member reordering was the goal for me for performance reasons. I never hoped to find such a gem when I did that.

@sergei_am Obvious typo is obvious!

@sergei_am Caching!? Jokes aside... Legitimate uses might exist depending on context. But if I had to use an authoritative sounding term, it would be: Data-member-initialization-interdependincies You heard it here first!

I’m playing Valentin in Faust in less than four weeks. It’s an incredible show. Come along and see it if you can! concordiatheatre.co.uk/shows/faust

@BiffaTheKnight @SeaOfThieves Lol my 40th b/day on the day also!

@SeaOfThieves That's my birthday.

Sea of Thieves Season 11 begins on January 23rd.

@SeaOfThieves Cannot believe SoT is still going... 11th Season... On my 40th birthday nonetheless! It still seems like yesterday when me and @ChrisMarlow666 were coding up fishing! Keep up the good work crew!

Hi! I'm a professional pixel artist, illustrator and animator with 14 years of experience looking for a paying project. Doesn't have to be games. RTs are really appreciated. ty! #gamedev #pixelart

@keeyaaaa Cannot believe it. Was there an hour after seeing your post. Went with something a bit more classic after the initial wow!

Finally finished OutRunners! Love this game, me and Shelley play it at Mikado when staying in Japan! Full 4K 60FPS version on my YouTube here: youtube.com/watch?v=EMIIOs… #SEGA #OutRunners #Arcade

@fbuontempo Comma operator discard? Some unintended std::string ctor overload? Something to do with multi-arg bracket operator? Hard to tell without reference 😩. ELI5 please?

Spot the deliberate mistake: std::map<std::string, std::string> keywords; keywords["vector", "sequential container supporting dynamic resizing"];
