| RAOF | Why does cross-thread error propagation need to be so hard? | 04:58 |
|---|---|---|
| duflu | RAOF: Why does it exist? :) | 05:52 |
| RAOF | Because we're not using a language with a sensible runtime :P | 05:52 |
| duflu | Oh look, C++ isn't bad enough. Let's add a couple hundred more pages to the spec and make it worse | 05:52 |
| RAOF | Obviously you wouldn't do that. | 06:05 |
| RAOF | There are already two or three terrible languages in C++; no need to add more :) | 06:06 |
| RAOF | You might do something like Rust, for example. | 06:06 |
| duflu | I noticed C++11(?) recently broke even basic C code: "string"STRING | 06:15 |
| duflu | doesn't work any more | 06:15 |
| anpok | duflu: missing a literal operator? | 07:34 |
| duflu | anpok: No I mean "hello""world" is now invalid in C++. You have to insert a space "hello" "world" | 07:34 |
| duflu | Which is annoying if one of your literals is a macro and your mature stable code worked perfectly until C++11 | 07:35 |
| anpok | interesting | 07:40 |
| anpok | they had to change the pre processor to get that | 07:40 |
| anpok | http://xkcd.com/1172/ | 07:40 |
| duflu | anpok: I don't think it required a preprocessor change. Only a language change... ? | 07:47 |
| anpok | they allow "foo""bar", but not define BLA "bar" "foo"BLA | 07:48 |
| anpok | i guess "foo"BLA is a token at cpp stage | 07:48 |
| anpok | and not two tokens | 07:48 |
| anpok | otherwise they would have to deal a lot with whitespace ugly trickery within the grammar | 07:49 |
