A Shortcut for the Output Case: Working in Place with std::wstring Handling a Race Condition Wrapping Up July 2015 Volume 30 Number 7 ByGiovanni Dicanio| July 2015 The Win32 API exposes several features using a pure-C interface. This means there are no C++ string classes available natively...
This means that any DLL file that loads into your process address space that also links against a matching version of the runtime library DLL will be affected by this handler (new will throw an exception on failure). The implication of this depends wholly on whether the cli...
a = (b = (c = d)); In compiler-babble, assignment is right-associative. Practically speaking, this means that if you want multiple assignments to work as expected, operator= must return something that can itself be the right-hand side (rhs) of an assignment. What else to return but ...
TheXPASSandXFAILresult codes are less obvious.XPASSis actually a failure result and indicates that we expected a test to fail but it passed.XFAILis a successful result and indicates that we expected the test to fail and it did. Typically anXPASSresult means that theexpected_results.txtfile fo...
Vectors are part of STL. Vectors in C++ are sequence containers representing arrays that can change their size during runtime. They use contiguous storage locations for their elements just as efficiently as in arrays, which means that their elements can also be accessed using offsets on regular ...
and may use different storage arrangements. It means allocated memory, CRT resources, or classes passed across a DLL boundary can cause problems in memory management, internal static usage, or layout interpretation. For example, if a class is allocated in one DLL but passed to a...
Assembly; continue to schedule informal briefings on topical issues; recommend to the Assembly a programme ofandformatforinteractive debates on the items on its agenda; and continue to consider ways and means to further improve its working methods to increase its efficiency and effectivenessinall...
all standard containers are required to provide certain type definitions and implementations for a specific set of methods. This means that if C is an STL-conforming container, then C::iterator is the type of the iterator for that container. This has the signif...
A list object supports bidirectional iterators, which means you can step to adjacent elements given an iterator that designates an element in the controlled sequence. A special head node corresponds to the iterator returned by list::end (STL/CLR)(). You can decrement this iterator to reach the...
UTF-8, as its name suggests, uses 8-bit code units. It was designed with two important characteristics in mind. First, it’s backward-compatible with ASCII; this means that each valid ASCII character code has the same byte value when encoded using UTF-8. In other words, valid ASCII...
