DIP benefitting .NET

As a company, we have a frightening amount of legacy code. A couple of years
ago, we started to move towards .NET, so ended up wrapping a lot of native
C++ libraries with managed code.

Now, one of .NET's cool things is the GAC (Global Assembly Cache). One of
the not so cool things about the GAC, is that things that go into it have to
have their dependencies in the GAC (hacks aside).

Recently, I've been weaving the dependency inversion principle into some
areas of our code base, and noticed the DIP actually lifts this problem, as
all the dependencies now run upwards into the managed code. How nice :)

All the lower level managed components no longer depend on things that
aren't GACable, the dependencies run upwards, into the managed code.

It will be interesting to see how far this goes, and if their are any traps
I've yet to fall into.

Cheers,

Hello, We maintain a 175 million record database table for our customer.

== Introduction to DAF == I am interested in the next generation of approaches to software development. Over the last decades, there has been an obvious shift in how our most complex software is created. We started off with punch cards (or so I am told -- I was born in 1981 so apologies if my history is off or my ideas are naive), punching in a stream of ones and zeros. The code contained only 0 and 1 and everything else was...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
