Coding my way out of paper bags. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ used to make games, nowadays I try to make codebases better... Also, my views are my own...

[Dimitrios Polymenos @DimiWantCracker]

Admitting defeat. No problems at all with compilers after all. I wrote a buggy accumulator and the bug manifested when the elements were ordered in a specific way.

... I was iterating over an unordered_map...

Career 1st.
Discovering a potential code gen bug on C++ @VisualStudio compiler...
... While doing a take-home exercise for an interview. (Details TBD since I have to coordinate releasing the code to the public with the interviewer)

[Dimitrios Polymenos @DimiWantCracker]

@geeksforgeeks fix your tests please... You're breaking my streak

[Dimitrios Polymenos @DimiWantCracker]

@dyaroshev This is one of the real examples where "c++ requires a lot of boilerplate" really applies. If you know, you know...
(Not spoiling with details as this can be a legit interview question in some shops)

From the perspective of deduplicating codepaths, it’s a compression problem—if you compress too early, you get bad compression, because good compression requires more information about the entire dataset. So you can’t deduplicate too early.

[Dimitrios Polymenos @DimiWantCracker]

@sergei_am Member reordering implies layout sensitivity. Could you maybe hoist the problematic initialisation to a (potentially-defaulted) ctor parameter?
Hard to know without seeing code 😔

[Dimitrios Polymenos @DimiWantCracker]

@sergei_am Obvious typo is obvious!

[Dimitrios Polymenos @DimiWantCracker]

@sergei_am Caching!? Jokes aside... Legitimate uses might exist depending on context.
But if I had to use an authoritative sounding term, it would be:
Data-member-initialization-interdependincies
You heard it here first!

I’m playing Valentin in Faust in less than four weeks. It’s an incredible show. Come along and see it if you can!

@BiffaTheKnight @SeaOfThieves Lol my 40th b/day on the day also!

[Dimitrios Polymenos @DimiWantCracker]

@SeaOfThieves Cannot believe SoT is still going...
11th Season... On my 40th birthday nonetheless!
It still seems like yesterday when me and @ChrisMarlow666 were coding up fishing!
Keep up the good work crew!

@keeyaaaa Cannot believe it. Was there an hour after seeing your post.
Went with something a bit more classic after the initial wow!

[Dimitrios Polymenos @DimiWantCracker]

@weirdlilguys Tongues out!

Are you ready for your career's final boss?

@weirdlilguys My time to shine! This baby's been part of the family for two weeks!

[Dimitrios Polymenos @DimiWantCracker]

@fbuontempo Comma operator discard?
Some unintended std::string ctor overload?
Something to do with multi-arg bracket operator?
Hard to tell without reference 😩.
ELI5 please?
