I'm a beginner for c++. I wrote a program to extract data from one DB and store those data to another DB. I just want to add multiple threads to speed up the pr
Consider the following auto a = 10; When does the compiler know that a is an int, at compile time or at run-time? If it deduces the type at run-time, will it n
Can I query an ostream object about whether or not it has been written to? For an ostringstream, one could use if(!myOssObject.str().empty()) What about the
Namespaces are in many was like classes with no constructors, no destructors, no inheritance, final, and only static methods and members. After all, this kind o
I have a class containing an enum class. class Shader { public: enum class Type { Vertex = GL_VERTEX_SHADER, Geometry = GL_GEOMETRY_SHADE
It's a question from C++ Primer Chapter 16.2.3 (question 16.41): Write a version of sum with a return type that is guaranteed to be large enough to hold t
Imagine you have a simple matrix class template <typename T = double> class Matrix { T* data; size_t row, col; public: Matrix(size_t m, size_t n
Lines from Anthony William book: std::launch::deferred indicates that the function call is to be deferred until either wait() or get() is called on the fu
What's the difference between constexpr and const? When can I use only one of them? When can I use both and how should I choose one?
Is there a difference between the following definitions? const double PI = 3.141592653589793; constexpr double PI = 3.141592653589793; If not, which styl
I know in C++11 they added the feature to initialize a variable to zero as such double number = {}; // number = 0 int data{}; // data = 0 Is there a simila
I started studying smart pointers of C++11 and I don't see any useful use of std::weak_ptr. Can someone tell me when std::weak_ptr is useful/necessary?
When I try to run a CMake generated makefile to compile my program, I get the error that range based for loops are not supported in C++ 98 mode. I tried a

Terminal texteditors like emacs,vim,joe or even nano have the ability to display arbitrary UI elements inside a command line without completely rewriting the wh
I am working with the OpenSSL library for C++. I used this library in another project and it worked great. I carried it over to another project today and I'm ha
How can I check if a std::thread is still running (in a platform independent way)? It lacks a timed_join() method and joinable() is not meant for that. I thoug
In short words: Per C++ Primer, pg 69, "auto": "If we want the deduced type to have a top-level const, we must say so explicitly". I would get an top-level
If I pass the following code through my GCC 4.7 snapshot, it tries to copy the unique_ptrs into the vector. #include <vector> #include <memory> in
I have this code that doesn't work, but I think the intent is clear: testmakeshared.cpp #include <memory> class A { public: static ::std::shared_pt
