uflow() vs underflow()

The std::streambuf class defines both of these functions as virtual, and
they are apparently meant to be overloaded in derived classes to get
more characters from an input sequence. Could someone explain what the
difference between the two is, please?

underflow doesn't consume characters while uflow does.

As an experienced Java Programmer, trust me on this, stick with .NET if you are already using it. It's hard to tell based on what you post. Is all of your code wrapped in an exception handler? Somewhere when the form is initialized or Form Load, I'd add a try catch and trap System.ArithmeticException... Step through each line with the debugger and if you post the line (ideally with the whole code snippet) I think we can figure it out.

Hello, How can underflow and overflow of the basic arithmetic types be tested for using standard C++? For instance, if two long doubles are multiplied together, test whether or not the result is too large to fit in a long double? Thank you for your time, Oplec.

I'm trying to figure out if an increment to a variable of an integer type, followed by a decrement, (or vice versa) is guaranteed to restore the variable to its initial value, even if the first operation causes the variable to overflow/underflow. In other words, if foo_t is an integer type, are the following two functions guaranteed to *always* return a non-zero value? int check_overflow(foo_t f) {

An article states: "In floating point maths, where if you divide by a sufficiently large number sufficiently often, you will always be able to reach a value too small to distinguish from zero, given the finite precision you have." What happens when "a value too small to distinguish from zero" is reached by the above division? Underflow? What does it mean "sufficiently often" since only one division should be enough to cause underflow...

I have a VB.NET framework 1.1 application that I am installing on my user's workstation.

Hi, I have written a small function that can (I think) deal with overflow/underflow while adding integers and divide by zero problem. Can some one please tell me if I have done it correctly ? Would it be safe to extend it to double precision floating point numbers since we know that there is always some margin for error while adding floating point numbers ? What other functions should I look to implement for my project ? #include...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
