C++ what is worse abstracting away or converting?
Hi, I am in doubt: Or I abstract away my string-type and implicitly use the local stringtype or I use something like ICU and convert to the local type when needed.

Can I develop for Android and iPhone with Adobe AIR if I don't care about the App Store?
As far as I understand, applications made with Adobe AIR have been blocked from the App Store. If I wanted to utilize AIR anyway to create a cross-platform app (for iPhone and Android) would it be possible to distribute the apps outside of the App Store?

Are many static variables in functions using up to much memory?
Hi, I want to write a cross-plattform wrapper for some OS specific (Linux/MacOSX/Windows) calls to get the number of cores of the CPU etc. My idea was to put all of them in single functions with static variables, so stuff like the number of cores that does not change will be processed only once. int getNumCPUCores() { static int nu...

Platform-native preferences dialog with Qt on Mac, Gnome, KDE, and Windows
On Mac and Gnome, native applications use an application preferences dialog that immediately applies the chosen settings as they are selected. On Windows and (I think) KDE, preferences are applied only when an "Apply" or "OK" button is pressed. Are there any built-in Qt goodies to do this for you, or do you have to include several #ifde...
