Question: Re: VC6. The unofficial mentor uses it. So we do as well, it's a matter of trust. It also has native GUI & it's damn fast.

    For your testing pleasure (at your own risk) : np.zip -- run build.bat or (via msys) build.sh, once that works, add the generated .lib to your project, add link options /nodefaultlib:"LIBCMT", for best results define in the preprocessor definitions DEBUG_TIGHT_ALLOC (when using WDL anyway), and that should do 'er.

Question: Is this array class is correct? I'm going to expand it with more operations, but that's the idea: pastebin.com/Ff9US2vE
Asked by Rodrigo (161.148.171.x) on April 30 2012, 4:18pm
Reply on April 30 2012, 5:42pm:
    I'm not completely sure if the manual calling of constructors/destructors is reliable. I'd probably make it an array of allocated pointers instead, personally.

    Also, maybe worth doing bounds checking on the array accesses? I'm not a big fan of overloading operators, I'd rather do array.Get(x) than use array[x], so I'm aware of what's actually happening when I look at the code.

Question: Re: Nitpicker. Our toolchain is strongly Cockos based cause we love it SO much. It would be handy to have some extra power.

Question: hey, managed to make valgrind/WINE work under ubuntu to test our Win32 builds. It's slow but powerful. News, about Nitpicker?
Asked by gio (94.66.17.x) on April 29 2012, 11:07pm
Reply on April 30 2012, 3:21pm:
    Nice! We should release Nitpicker I suppose, though Valgrind is probably the next level (or multiple levels up)...

Question: What do u think about Linus Torvalds' opinion about C++?
Asked by Rodrigo (161.148.171.x) on April 27 2012, 6:20pm
Reply on April 28 2012, 1:24am:
    I think he says mostly very reasonable, sensible things, and occasionally says things that are really controversial in order to make a point. Generally I agree with him -- allowing the linux kernel to use C++ would be a Very Bad Thing -- not because C++ is inherently awful, but because it allows (some might even say encourages) people to do terrible things. There are many features of C++ which are absolutely dreadful, and if you avoid those, it can be a rather nice improvement over C.

Question: Re: REAPER_x64_Win. Don't you have big size overhead with all the EXEs & DLLs static linked?

    There's a bit, but it's not so bad, and lzma does a pretty good job of making it less of an issue.

Question: is java good at something? i check it out once per 3 years and it's the same abomination every single time. enlighten me, plz.
Asked by gio (94.66.87.x) on April 20 2012, 6:41pm
Reply on April 20 2012, 8:19pm:
    Probably worth separating the language from the whole runtime system in making those arguments. The language seems to be fine. The way you actually run Java, however, seems to be a pain in the ass. What's the point, then?
