Hello, I've got a small bit of code from a library that does this: #define VMMLIB_ALIGN( var ) var template< size_t M, typename T = float > class vector { ... private: // storage VMMLIB_ALIGN( T array[ M ] ); }; And you can call it by doing //(vector<float> myVector) myVector.array; No parenthesis or anything. what?

In my Android project, I define a few callbacks to operate on button clicks, connectivity events, or UI events such as Dilaog.onShow(). For demo purposes, I have chosen a Runnable interface that must be launched from some Activity code. With Java, I have different ways to express myself. One pattern would be to use anonymous class runO...
I had a function that returned a random member of several groups in order of preference. It went something like this: def get_random_foo_or_bar(): "I'd rather have a foo than a bar." if there_are_foos(): return get_random_foo() if there_are_bars(): return get_random_bar() raise IndexError, "No foos, no...
So I have this code for an object. That object being a move you can make in a game of rock papers scissor. Now, the object needs to be both an integer (for matching a protocol) and a string for convenience of writing and viewing. class Move: def __init__(self, setMove): self.numToName = {0:"rock", 1:"paper",2:"scissors"} ...
I'm facing a particular line that is 153 characters long. Now, I tend to break things after 120 characters (of course, this is heavily dependent on where I am and the local conventions.) But to be honest, everywhere I break the line just makes it look bad. So I'm looking for some ideas on what I should do for it. Here's the line: priva...

I prefer coding standards to be logical. This is my argument for why the following set of standards are not. I need to know one of two things: (1) why I'm wrong, or (2) how to convince my team to change them. camelCase: Functions, class names, methods, and variables must be camelCase. Makes it hard to differentiate between variable...

Quoting from Perl::Critic::Policy::InputOutput::ProhibitExplicitStdin Perl has a useful magic filehandle called *ARGV that checks the command line and if there are any arguments, opens and reads those as files. If there are no arguments, *ARGV behaves like *STDIN instead. This behavior is almost always what you want if you want to cr...

I have a data element with units of tenths of a second (that is, the value "123" really means "12.3 seconds"). What is a good term for an descriptive identifier for this type of data? I'd be comfortable writing something like durationMilliseconds or durationMicroseconds, but durationDeciseconds looks odd. durationInTenthsOfSeconds does...

Note: C++ specific question I personally find it weird/ugly when a class uses a getter to access its own member data. I know the performance impact is none but I just don't like to see all those method calls. Are there any strong arguments either way, or is it just one of those things that's personal preference and should be left to eac...
I always see example code where in the viewDidLoad method, instead of saying, for example someInstanceVar = [[Classname alloc] init]; they always go Classname *tempVar = [[Classname alloc] init]; someInstanceVar = tempVar; [tempVar release]; Why is this? Isn't it the exact same thing, just longer? ...
