Welcome to C/C++!
Roxifλsz 🇱🇹
It's a programming language group, there isn't exactly much to talk about, besides new language features, programming questions and projects in these langs.
Roxifλsz 🇱🇹
You should do something useful, instead of just camping in this group then. Maybe you should think of a project to work on in your free time

Would you prefer C or C++ if you were to program a generic desktop application ?

C++, because OOP and graphical widgets go along together quite nicely

except gtkmm is a bit weirder than gtk+
Nomid Íkorni-Sciurus
yeah
Roxifλsz 🇱🇹
Although if you're working on open source stuff I'd recommend Qt
Nomid Íkorni-Sciurus
Mhhhhhh...
Nomid Íkorni-Sciurus
I don't really like all those macros, but it's a nice framework to work with
Roxifλsz 🇱🇹
What are you programming actually? Just curious

A simple virtual machine like the Chip-8 layer.

I don't hate C++, though I really like C's simplicity

Imo C++ code can be simple too, just have to smartly group code into classes, makes stuff pretty readable

Mhhhh... Maybe it's that I don't touch C++ from the 2010 version
Nomid Íkorni-Sciurus
I know there have been lots of new stuff coming
Roxifλsz 🇱🇹

What do you mean? The standards are released every three years: C++11, C++14 and now C++17 which will be available completely in all compilers over time
Nomid Íkorni-Sciurus
I meant, 2011.
Nomid Íkorni-Sciurus
When I said that, most C++ programmers said me "oh no you have to learn C++ again"
Nomid Íkorni-Sciurus
?

Yes the stdlib is expanding which is good imo, the one thing that I like about java is its vast array of standard functions
Nomid Íkorni-Sciurus
Roxifλsz 🇱🇹
Oh that lmao
It's an automatic trigger, because there's so much people who ask how to learn C++
Roxifλsz 🇱🇹
Lol
Roxifλsz 🇱🇹
Hmm, maybe it should be changed to a manually invoked command...

Ok then, I think I should give a look to the C++14 reference
Nomid Íkorni-Sciurus
I'm tired of people saying "You're a C caveman" and such
Nomid Íkorni-Sciurus
I just program in whatever language I want
Nomid Íkorni-Sciurus
lol

Lmao, there's nothing wrong with C, just that C++ does the job better in some cases
Nomid Íkorni-Sciurus

Well, I guess auto types and templates are as much useful as Generics in C#.NET
inchidi
learn c++
inchidi
ok bb
Nomid Íkorni-Sciurus
learn c++
I already know C++, just the last time I programmed in it was with the C++11

i just want to trigger the bot
Nomid Íkorni-Sciurus
learn
Nomid Íkorni-Sciurus
It looks like just "l e a r n" triggers it
inchidi
lol sensitive woman
Nomid Íkorni-Sciurus
just do it. Or be like me and just search "C++" on github and try remaking the third entry in the list
Nomid Íkorni-Sciurus
(third is an example obv)

1. Go to github.com
2. Tap on search.
3. Use advanced search.
4. Go to Advanced Search.
5. Select user's working language.
6. Press the search button.
7. Hover through the repositories and select one of them.
8. Fork it.
9. Do what you want to do.
10. Make a pull request so that the "original owner" can look at the changes and merge them if he feels the need to.
Nomid Íkorni-Sciurus
Search for C++ projects and remake some
Nomid Íkorni-Sciurus
U.u

Do this
Nomid Íkorni-Sciurus
I think remaking would be nice too
Nomid Íkorni-Sciurus
I didn't say you couldn't fork the project
Anonymous
Well, everyone thinks differently so that might get pretty annoying in big projects. So better just try to understand what the code is aimed to do and write it on your own
Nomid Íkorni-Sciurus
Nomid Íkorni-Sciurus
Anyway really, learning to program is just practicing so anything would work great
Nomid Íkorni-Sciurus
Say, even trying to reimplement ARM (with THUMB obv) in Ruby
Nomid Íkorni-Sciurus
(I know somebody who did)

Welcome to C/C++!
Nomid Íkorni-Sciurus
He wrote an ARM/THUMB emulator with bindings to SDL so that he could emulate gba games in Ruby
Nomid Íkorni-Sciurus
It's kind of fun to write an emulator
Nomid Íkorni-Sciurus
Like any other emulator does * shrugs *
The architecture of the ARM7TDMI is documented. You don't need to know what the specific rom's code is doing to let it just modify the registers
Nomid Íkorni-Sciurus
I mean, in the emulator's point of view a register is just a box with numbers. It doesn't care what they're for.
Nomid Íkorni-Sciurus
Anyway I mistyped, the cpu is the Z80 and ARM7TDMI is the architecture. I confused the terms in translation from italian to english
Nomid Íkorni-Sciurus
I sincerely don't think reading a manual would be a problem
Nomid Íkorni-Sciurus
The GBA is well documented on this side
Anonymous
For those who say there isn't any sensible talks in the group .. where are you bois ?
Nomid Íkorni-Sciurus
Ah lol, I just don't mind reading the docs. I love programming and everything I do is just for learning
Nomid Íkorni-Sciurus
so well, I just do it
