The other day I found out that MSVC's std::map move constructor doesn't have noexcept:
map(map&& _Right) : _Mybase(_STD move(_Right)) {}
This means that it can throw when moved and it's not eligible for move_if_noexcept which is used in vector reallocation's. I filed a report but it got rejected. Take care when you want map's to be moveable (which can be a factor compared to copying all nodes).
Aggregate initialization brought us many good things. There is though one nasty pitfall with std::vector. std::vector can be initialized with a size_t to specify its initial size. There is a potential ambiguity since the vector also accepts size_t as its element type:
#include <cassert>
#include <vector>
int main()
{
std::vector<size_t> vec0(5); // vector size is set
std::vector<size_t> vec1{5}; // vector size isn't set directly but vector is initialized with 1 element
assert(vec0.size() == 5);
assert(vec1.size() == 1);
std::vector<size_t> vec2{vec0.size()}; // even worse: vectors do not have the same size now
return 0;
} This is especially a problem with 32 bits code where size_t is an int typedef. A solution is that the C++ committee resolves the ambiguity e.g. by introducing a 2 argument overload for vector constructor (with an extra enum). Until then it's watching out
Boost libraries are a great addition to C++. However anyone working with Boost lirbaries know that they explode your compile times. For example include adjacency_list for Boost.Graph lead to the following spam:

The other day I stumbled upon code which accidentally used a double as end condition:
#include <cstdint>
#include <cstdlib>
constexpr double g_dW = 10;
int main()
{
int res = 0;
for (int n = 0; n < g_dW; ++n)
{
res += std::rand(); // use rand just to have a valid loop
}
return res;
}
One would think that the optimizer Visual Studio 2019 16.13 is smart enough to use integer comparison but this is not the case. VS2019 issues a relative expensive integer to double conversion and comparison:
for (int n = 0; n < g_dW; ++n)
00007FF7C9A01011 movsd xmm6,mmword ptr [__real@4024000000000000 (07FF7C9A02240h)]
00007FF7C9A01019 mov edi,ebx
00007FF7C9A0101B nop dword ptr [rax+rax]
{
res += std::rand();
00007FF7C9A01020 call qword ptr [__imp_rand (07FF7C9A02188h)]
00007FF7C9A01026 inc edi
00007FF7C9A01028 add ebx,eax
00007FF7C9A0102A movd xmm0,edi
00007FF7C9A0102E cvtdq2pd xmm0,xmm0
00007FF7C9A01032 comisd xmm6,xmm0
00007FF7C9A01036 ja main+20h (07FF7C9A01020h)
}
return res;
The solution is simple to use an integer as block condition:
constexpr int g_dW = 10;
Anyone who does serious application development would notice that standard C++ lacks extensive library support on the level of e.g. Java or .NET. For example many applications need the following:
There are 3th party libraries who fulfill this gap but it's always more difficult to get that up and running than if it would be stock present. It would therefore hard to recommend to use C++ for new application development.
Boost fulfill some of these gaps. Their quality of libraries vary; some of them are even abandoned and not maintained anymore. Still I would like the following libraries to be incorporated in std as well:
Windows spotlight is responsible for those nice aesthetic pictures on the logon screen. Somehow it was broken on my machine and I was deprived of this feature. Even when one selected the option (under 'settings', 'personalization' 'lock screen'), it would jump to normal picture mode.
Google didn't help at first (their search results become worse and worse over the years) until I got the tip from 'Software Test Tips': some necessary background apps where disabled. After enabling the app 'settings' (under 'settings'; 'privacy'; 'background apps') rebooting and waiting some time it works now.
In some heavily invoked code the following construct was used:
interface ITable
{
virtual std::string GetData() const = 0;
};
class Table : public ITable
{
public:
virtual std::string GetData() const override
{
return std::string{"1"};
}
};
class TableCt : public Table
{
public:
long GetDataCt() const
{
const std::string strData = GetData(); // watch out
return std::stol(strData);
}
};
Client code invokes 'GetDataCt', e.g.:
void f()
{
TableCt tbl;
tbl.GetDataCt();
}
in the real case TableCt wasn't the final class but GetData will not be overriden anywhere else. The code is functional correct but it takes a performance hit since base class function 'GetData' is invoked through vtable:
TableCt tbl;
tbl.GetDataCt();
00007FF653F710BC lea rdx,[rsp+30h]
00007FF653F710C1 lea rcx,[tbl]
00007FF653F710C6 call rax
On closer thought this is logical since the compiler must deal with 'GetData' being overwritten by a derived class. Therefore explicitly calling the base class function is needed to tell the compiler that it must use the base class:
class TableCt : public Table
{
long GetDataCt() const
{
return std::stol(__super::GetData());
}
};
Using the keyword final could also do the trick too although it depends then on the cleverness of the compiler.
