I've made no secret of the fact that I really dislike the C preprocessor in
C++. No aspect of the language has caused me more trouble. No aspect of
the language has cause more code I've read to be difficult to understand.
I've described it as GOTO's on steroids, and that's what it is!.
One argument against abolishing it it that it is useful for conditional
compilation when porting code, etc. Well, it seems to me C++ supports that...

I am contemplating getting into Python, which is used by engineers I
admire - google and Bram Cohen, but was horrified to read
"no variable or argument declarations are necessary."
Surely that means that if I misspell a variable name, my program will
mysteriously fail to work with no error message.
If you don't declare variables, you can inadvertently re-use an
variable used in an enclosing context when you don't intend to, or

Let's say you were wanting to write code usign early binding to the MSXML
library, but then be able to switch between early and late binding at will.
Conditional compilation is one possibility, but it's not practical.
1. You have to put a precompiler condition block around every Dim and
every function declaration that might need to change,
2. If the code spans multiple modules, the flags have to be changed...

Consider this code (.Net 2.0) which uses a nullable type:
private void button1_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
DateTime? nullableDate;
nullableDate = (condition) ? null : DateTime.Now;
}
When the condition is false, I want to return null. If true, I want to
return the current date/time.

I just found out that JavaScript 1.5 (I tested this with Firefox 1.0.7
and Konqueror 3.5) has support not only for standard function
definitions, function expressions (lambdas) and Function constructors
(these three I knew about), but also conditional function definitions,
as described in http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Core_JavaScript_1.5_Guide:Defining_Functions
].
An example:

Hi,
I have been using the following line of code to create an object called
"Serious" if it doesn't already exist.
if (Serious == null) {var Serious = {};}
This works in the scripts I use it but but www.jslint.com is not happy
with me.

I'm trying to use the gpp utility (Gnu points to http://en.nothingisreal.com/wiki/GPP)
to do conditional compilation in Python, and I'm running into a
problem: the same '#' character introduces Python comments and is used
by default to introduce #ifdef etc. lines.
Here's an example of what I'm trying to do:
#ifdef DEBUG
stderr.write("variable is...") #details of msg omitted

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,...
