Call graph analysis

I have a little problem in which I must justify that all the dynamic allocations in a rather large piece of C++ software happen during its initialization phase. So I need to trace all calls to operator new and other mallocs, and do so with a static a... |

C++ Workshop - Feedback

Given that it has been three weeks since we've started this workshop, I feel it is time to gather some feedback. Unsurprisingly, in spite of an initial wave of enthusiasm, the participation numbers seem to be down.

Stream IO frustration (with locales, in particular)

Thrice cursed be the designers of std::num_put!
A pox on whomever thought it would be a good idea to reuse std::num_put(..., long) for int and short, and std::num_put(...,double) for float.
May those who thus stopped me from writing a decent binary... |

C++ std library iterator inheritance HELP!
|
list.begin() should be myList.begin(). Same for list.end().
Also note that, in standard C++, there is no such thing as a _tmain() function. |

But is there any language that can be substituted for C++ in making the actual game or does it have to be C++?
Pascal, Fortran, Ada, LISP, Haskell, Eiffel ...
There are plenty of languages out there that you... |

Implementing [][] operator

As it's been said before in the thread, yes, that's the way to do it.

[C++] Question about memset

Thanks! You have indeed helped a lot. Will go look more into standard vectors.
Just keep in mind that there are other containers, with different trade-offs than vector. Using the right data structure and the right... |

Yes , m_height's type is std::vector <float>. So you say its ok just to do
m_heights.resize(m_size * m_size); without the need to copy it into memory? (I am also working in OpenGL here hence the slight confus... |

m_heights.resize(m_size * m_size);

memset(&m_heights[0], 0, m_heights.size());
The elements in a vector (I assume it is a vector) are default-initialized. They will already be zero, no need for a memset. Fur... |

[C++] Question about memset
|
If you're using C++ rather than C, do not use memset or memcpy.
Use std::fill, std::fill_n or std::copy instead, they do the Right Thing.
#include <algorithm>
std::fill(m_heights.begin(), m_heights.end(), 0);
