The Tension Between Reading and Writing Programs

I would like to discuss two interesting comments about last week's article. - C/C++

Dialects and Compiler Warnings

There is a tension between the complexity of our programs and the complexity of the dialects that we use to write them. - C/C++

Dialects and Readability

Do the advantages of these dialects outweigh their unfamiliarity? - C/C++

Dark Corners and Social Forces

If you are thinking of solving a problem in an unusual way, you should have a reason for doing so. The more unusual the solution, the stronger the reason should be. - C/C++

Dark Corners and Social Forces

Say you're a programmer, and you have a choice of two ways to solve a problem. One stays on familiar ground; you're comfortable with the technique, even though it's a unwieldy. The other alternative is newer, but much simpler. Which do you choose? - C/C++

Bugs in Dark Corners

Today I would like to point out that programming in an unfamiliar style has another hazard: It is more likely to uncover the compiler bugs that often lurk in dark corners. - C/C++

Readability and Familiarity

Useful programming techniques may be rejected because they are unfamiliar, and may be unfamiliar because they are rejected. - C/C++

Elegance or Trickery: How To Free Memory

I'm continuing the elegance or trickery theme with an example that I think I originally got from Herb Sutter. - C/C++

Elegance or Trickery: Follow-Up

I think my Elegance or Trickery? post has received more comments than anything else I've written for Dr. Dobb's, so I'm going to stay on this topic for a while. - C/C++

Elegance or Trickery?

The line between elegance and trickery is sometimes hard to draw clearly, and may even move over time as people become more familiar with the relevant ideas. - C/C++
