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.

Yes, it's correct. An object's methods aren't things that exist in memory with the object. They're in a completely separate section of memory, and a method exists exactly once regardless of whethe...
In Vim, it's possible to tell it to read from stdin instead of a file, by using vim -. This is so that you can pipe the output of one command into Vim, to view/edit it there. The problem I'm facin...
I'm using Doxygen to help me figure out some library code. There's an enum I know I need to use, but I don't know which file it's declared in. Searching for that identifier in Doxygen yields the p...
I think I can access the static method without caring of class, isn't it? No. A static method is still a class method, and you still care about the class. The difference is that static methods...
I've recently discovered that it's not actually an error to have control reach the end of a non-void function without returning anything, it's merely undefined behaviour. I want to promote the rele...
I'm using Python to invoke another program in a sub-process. I've noticed my memory sometimes gets so large as to crash the system, and I'm wondering if I'm not correctly cleaning up the memory som...
I wouldn't. Not unless you intend to keep developing on every branch independently! Presumably you're not doing that. In that case, I think it makes your intent clearer to just use a tag to mark t...
#ifdef sections can, of course, be used to include or exclude chunks of code based on some criteria known at compile time. One big problem is that when the condition is evaluated to false, the chun...
Ah. There's a good reason the compiler says it can't find the file: it's not there. In my particular case, BeepBoop.hpp actually gets automatically generated from other files by the ordinary build ...
Whenever I've worked with CMake-based projects, the structure has been something like this: project src <-------- typically this is a source control working directory CMakeLists.txt ...
I do a lot of rebasing and amending of my topic branches. I don't think it's especially useful for me or my colleagues to see in the logs what date it was when I first started working on the partic...
I'm trying to set up a simple test project, to unit test a change I'm working on. The change is to a file inside some existing project. I've tried to set up the includes as the original has it, but...
