Welcome to Software Development on Codidact!
Will you help us build our independent community of developers helping developers? We're small and trying to grow. We welcome questions about all aspects of software development, from design to code to QA and more. Got questions? Got answers? Got code you'd like someone to review? Please join us.

C23 will be a major revision, certainly the biggest one since C99. It contains lots of changes and new features, both big and small. The linked draft in the question contains a complete list of cha...
How do I clone the repository with only part of the history? It depends on what part you want. It's possible to have shallow clones (which is exactly what you need, only a part of the commit h...
These examples have undefined behavior and unspecified behavior all at once! Operator precedence has nothing to do with the order of execution, see What is the difference between operator precedenc...
As discussed on Meta, should Software.codidact allow reviewing working code as a question? Traffic is probably not high enough to warrant it's own Codereview community. The existing communities out...
tl;dr Although it can be done with regex (and work for "most" cases), I still prefer to use a parser. Long answer I'd use something such as DOMParser to do the job: let validTags = ['p', 'span', 'b...
When posting a lot of code on the site, the "code format window" is much too small: 1 I'm talking about this thing 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 The scroll bar appears after...
Yes, the second line invokes undefined behavior. First of all, according to C17 6.5.2.1 regarding array subscripting, an expression E1[E2] is just "syntactic sugar" for *((E1)+(E2))). So what appli...
It's meant to include all programming and scripting. By calling it Software Development we wanted to convey that it's not just code but also those other things. I'll adjust the description of the...
I don't have a py command on my system; for purposes of this answer I assume it's an alias to the python executable. Running a script from a file is not quite the same as importing it. A script giv...
tl;dr I'd like to learn a compact, cross-compiler way of selectively suppressing compiler warnings. Consider the case where you really mean to make an exact floating-point comparison using ==, o...
Python doesn't support extending the mechanics of how f-strings are parsed; the reference doesn't give the specific mechanism, but it doesn't say that there's any connection between the parsing of ...
I was fooling around with the following C code on my trusty old x86 PC: #include <stdint.h> #include <stdio.h> int main (void) { uint32_t u32 = 0xAABBCCDD; uint8_t* ptr = (u...
Is it correct to destroy a mutex which is referenced but not owned by an unique_lock as in this code? { std::unique_ptr<std::mutex> mutex = std::make_unique<std::mutex>(); std::u...
It would be much better split into separate questions. Users have to scroll, ctrl-f search, or wade through a lot of info that irrelevant to their problem to get to the section that helps them. ...
There is one thing to clarify when mapping a float interval to an integer interval, namely how the boundaries of the float interval shall be mapped to the boundaries of the integer interval. Takin...
I am developing an application that targets Linux-based OS, and I need to store the user's configuration, metadata and other things in a persistent way (i.e. on the file system). I know that one c...
What's going on is that the compiler is deciding on what function to call at compile time rather than runtime. Since the type of vh is Vehicle *, it is essentially creating this call: vh->Vehic...
From simple subtyping concerns, you want the arguments of your methods to be as abstract/imprecise as possible while still allowing you to efficiently accomplish your goals. This allows your method...
I just submitted a proposal to DuckDuckGo here for a new "bang" for their search syntax. If approved: !coddsw search_term will trigger the following URL: https://software.codidact.com/posts/sear...
What does it mean that we can use memcmp(3) on invalid values? ISO C allows comparing an invalid value through memcmp(3), because it doesn't read the value, but rather its representation, and "rea...
There are many ways to do it, it depends on what data you already have and/or the Java version. I have only the year's numeric value If you already have a value as a number (int or long), and i...
It is, as you said, an operator so it doesn't make any sense to place a comma somewhere between the operator and the two operands. The first operand is the template string, and the second operand ...
Would it discourage others from posting answers, if they saw that a question had an answer with a "works for me" indication applied immediately? (More so than just seeing an immediate, comprehensiv...
Before attempting this, make sure it makes sense in context. In a few particular situations, it would be better to take a different approach rather than using the normal tools for composing or f...
It's because of this rule: *{ background: rgb(3, 28, 87); } That applies the darker blue background to every element individually, and that isn't overridden when you change the background o...
