 Comment on GotW #1 Solution: Variable Initialization – or Is It? by Mald
Just want to thank you Herb for your GotW articles. Your explanations by example has really helped me. I have a question that is related to Copy Constructors and c++11. I was making a class recently and I was writing the copy constructor for it. I realized that it was basically a duplicate of the explicit normal constructor that I just wrote. Fortunately c++11 allows constructors to call peer constructors using delegation. So could I just have my copy constructor call my explicit normal constructor? Is this acceptable?

Herb, thanks for the great talk. You mentioned the iOS 7 animations, and it seems some folks are affected by this: http://www.macrumors.com/2013/09/26/ios-7-users-complaining-about-motion-sickness-due-to-parallax-and-zooming-effects/ Read More »Comment on Bjarne and I are speaking in Chicago on Tuesday night by Herb Sutter
Yes, I saw those reports afterwards. What is most baffling is the (unfortunately-as-usual) vacuous and even hateful comment threads. In the first couple of pages, I saw nothing but angry comments that people are making this up and should get a life. As I mentioned in my talk on Tuesday night, my wife is a longtime satisfied iPhone user who is prone to motion sickness, and the gentler motion in iOS 6 and earlier never bothered her before. After installing iOS 7, she couldn’t even unlock her phone without a wave of nausea — the effect was immediate from the first unlock with iOS 7. And it isn’t just the parallax wallpaper (which wasn’t even enabled on her iPhone 4), it was the extra zoom motion everywhere but particularly on unlock, where the zoom animation was (a) slower and (b) irregular with different icons falling in at different speeds. Calling people who report these problems “stupid” and claiming they’re making it up and should “grow a pair” is just foolish, yet that’s what every user comment I’ve read so far has said. Now, I realize comment threads are usually 90% foolish, but this is the first comment thread that was 100% foolish (at least as far as I read it). Fortunately the commenters here are much better and well over 90% reasonable and thoughtful — thanks! it’s much appreciated. Read More » | ||||
