Didn't you know that C++ programmers are better than compilers at checking code for safety though? And if they aren't, it's a skill issue.

It's all worth it for that sweet sweet 50ms speedup!/s

And sensible compile times.

I'm trying to write a game in Bevy but my laptop's Intel 7400 taking almost a minute to compile even small changes is really killing me.
I've looked up rustc compile times on different CPUs and am seriously considering getting a new laptop with a Snapdragon X Elite or something in that vein for this.

Not needed, main in C++ implicitly returns 0 if there is no return

Should ≠ Needs to

You can do it, and it will work, but it's unclean and not best-practice. I wouldn't be surprised if it's undefined behaviour.

Just to clarify. It is defined behavior - there's plenty of undefined behavior in C but that ain't one of them.

>What is C++? A miserable huge pile of "should"s

Love me some Castlevania++

Still love it tho. You can make it whatever you want!

should have a space after „>” and two new lines after „?”.

I guess markdown is miserable as well.

[–] xtools@programming.dev 3 points 6 days ago

not being able to master markdown might hint at why the commenter is struggling with C++

[–] kboy101222@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 week ago

Hey now, markdown serves it's purpose. It's not great, but as a web dev, I don't want people expecting full WYSIWYG editors in every website cause fuck that!
