I want to marry C#
Seriously, I've never found any other programming language I enjoy the hell out of using quite like C#. If I could, I'd write my game engine in C# instead of C++22 -

C is a cool programming language where if you want to return a string from a function you have to set up an entire physical-universe human social system for adjudicating who is responsible for freeing it "In order to create a C string, you must first create civilization"

why i like c#?
1- easiest way to build a program with good GUI. just put some XAML code and it's done.
2- I love syntax of c#. it has types. god I hate php XD
3- C# is also fast and strong.
4- don't forget the .net framework that has almost every thing I need.
3- A god like IDE, the Visual Studio.38 -

New project in C++. I don't know C++ but very good at C and Java so not worried.
New guy joins us. Gets stuck on how to concatenate a string. No big deal since he is new to the language too and doesn't have a C background. I offer to help and he goes on a 10 min rant about how C and C++ are different and I don't know what I'm talking about.
Wait until he's done. Tell him just to do strcat(possibly a better way but I'm literally in day 2 of my C++ skills, but I knew it would work). He mumbles how is not going to work as he types like he's going to shove it in my face when it fails.
It was like a beautiful geeky mic drop when it worked perfectly.5 -
Wow, just found out in C you can do: (if you have a struct with int i and char c)

*M so gonna use raw pointers... Raw pointers ftw!*
*Spends 2 hours to code*
*Spends next 4-6 hrs trying to find why it is crashing/giving segmentation fault*

*Totally worth using raw pointers* 😎😎😂😂6 -
for(i = 0; i < n; i++);//<-- this one
{
//Do stuff

I don't know how anyone could write complex programs with C (though they apparently used to and still many do)

how to feel the power of total C ?
Well use C++ compiler and add all C libraries to it so it will have classes but you can use C stuff.
P.S= Yeah not ideal but im C programmer and creating game so i have to do it like this because when i tried it without classes it was terrible.
And if anybody ask why not to just use C++ for that well simple answer i hate C++ and love C.3 -
In C++ we don't say "Missing asterisk" we say "error C2664: 'void std::vector<block,std::alocator<_Ty> >::push_back(const block &)': cannot convert argument 1 from 'std::_Vector_iterator<std::_Vector_val<std::_Simple_types<block> > >' to 'block &&'" and i think that's beautiful

In my first programming lecture, my lecturer said C language can be written in Microsoft Word... #fml9

main(n){float r,i,R,I,b;for(i=-1;i<1;i+=.06,puts(""))for(r=-2;I=i,(R=r)<1; r+=.03,putchar(n+31))for(n=0;b=I*I,26>n++&&R*R+b<4;I=2*R*I+i,R=R*R-b+r);}
C is awesome - try this code, and play around with the numbers

What is you favourite infinite loop style(in c/c++)?
1)
for(;;){/*do stuff*/}
2)
while(1){/*do stuff*/}
3)
loop:
/*do stuff*/
goto loop;
I like 1) and hate 3)11 -
An old favorite that came to mind when someone mentioned C in the recent void post.
On a semi-related note, are there any modern languages that *aren’t* C-based?

In C# you are not able to do bitwise operations on generic enums so you have to cast them to an integer via object... 😐 Apart from that, this awesome code shows what C# can do 😊

Well I never! Did you know: C++ is the 'incriment' of C and that C# is C++++ (two + on top of the other two + to make a # sign)1

What if you use C++ to implement C++ code into C++ so you can have a better version of C++ called C++++?7

Did anyone heard about modular C?
I'm working on it at school, it's like how to do OOP in C with structures and function pointers.
We're developing the String class but next, we will make a basic C++ implementation in C before beginning the real C++
Do you think it's a good path?5 -
I wrote my own text editor in C++. FLTK for cross platform windowing, Cairo for drawing the text.( not using any present editing component. ). Embedding Lua for scripting. I'm little proud. Tried opening a 10Mb text file with it. It didn't hang.
But now I'm looking for a performant 2D vector graphics library. (Cairo flickers : known issue). Skia is good and fast. Crappy documentation. Any suggestions will be appreciated.6 -

I remember calling C#, C-Fis, because this was the only other name for this symbol than Hashtag and C Hashtag sounded wrong. But C Fis sounded wrong too and then I decided to just don’t say it’s name and if I have too say C Hashtag or Fis or whatever, which was definitely the worst option.

C# is dead to me. Fucking dead.
The fucking debugger won't evaluate custom extension methods, including certain LINQ extensions (that are built in). And you can't evaluate line-by-line.
So I'm chaining three simple operations:
fooCollection.SelectMany().Concat().CustomBar()
And I can't tell which one is fucked up, because I can't evaluate them individually. What's worse is my CustomBar is sort-of recursive, and it can't even fucking evaluate itself.
My fucking function, can't evaluate itself.
I've been stuck on this for 3 hours.14 -

my fist job... i get to edit a c++ code written by a (mind you) programming company that they teamed with for the past(mind you again) 3 years ...
now just for starters, this code was edited by self taught coders that are really good engineers(they are really good), that didnt really know how the code worked before yet they still changed it, and it worked, how ever they wanted some changes.
i get the project files, and there is not one single comment describing what is happening... only code commented out... and no documentation what so ever were done....
so below are some of my comments that i wrote after i finished adding what i had to add, and fixing what i had to fix:
/*first rule of C anything coding, no actual functions in the header, well let me introduce you to a fully functioning thread running program all in the header, enjoy*/
//used to control the thread
// i honestly dont know why, but it worked soooooo yea...
// TG uncommented // for absolutely no reason what so ever...
//used to communicate with the port
//the message to be sent to the inverter, which has a code that will handle it
//hmmmmmm...
//again not usefull since we are using radioButtons
// same ...
// same ...
// same ...
// they said they dont even use this mode, but none the less, same ...
// calculate the checksum for the message
// ....
// one of the things that work, and god forbids i touch
// used for the status displayed on screen
// used for the (censored :P) status in the message
// used for the (censored :P) status in the message
// not used at all, but the message structure contains it and i refuse to edit that abomination
// used for the (censored :P) status in the message
// used for the (censored :P) status in the message
// just dont ask and roll with it, i didnt want to touch this
// saaaaame ...
// if before true this saaaaaame ...
// value of the (censored :P)
// it pains me to say it again, but this is no use
// (censored :P) input
// (censored :P) input
// only place seen , like for real it was just defined,sooooo yea :D
// well you know how it is
// message string
// check sum string
/****below from feed back****/
// (censored :P) coming in
// (censored :P) coming in
// (censored :P) coming in
// (censored :P)
/****below is the output to the receiver ****/
//(censored :P)
// (censored :P)
// (censored :P)
// (censored :P)
//you thought we were done.... nope, no idea. it comes in the feedback
// not used, literally commented out the one time it was used
// same ...
// XD, man this is a blast, same ...
// nope ...
// used to store the port chosen for the communication
// is a static for the number of data we have recorded so far, and as a row indicator for the recording method
// used to indicate the page we are on in the excel file, as well as the point in physical point in the test
// same ... oh look at this a positive same :D

My approach to writing C++:
1. Write a test
2. If I don't understand the compiler errors, give up.
3. Run the test.
4. If it segfaults and I can't work out why in gdb, give up.
5. Make the test pass.
6. If the result is ugly and it breaks when I refactor, write a different test
7. Anything that makes it this far can be shipped. -

Does anyone know of a tool that will statically analize a C program and check if it's behaviour would be the same as a C++ program? Flagging things like implicit void* coercions, for example.
The use case would be if you find a C library and want to use it with C++, for example. Or are writing a library and want it to be usable in both C and C++.
If this doesn't exist,
does anyone want to help me make it? I was thinking we could modify an existing C linter to do this.27 -
