There seems to be a qualitative difference between C and C++
I need to decide if “Project: Bradenburg [1]” will be in C or C++. I timed
how long it takes to compile the last C version of the codebase: 2.4s. I then
timed how long it takes to compile the hybrid C/C++ version: 18s. There's a
qualitative difference there. And I should note—it's the C version that's
currently in use, not the C++ version. And then our resident C++ expert said
that you should start a project in C++, not convert a project from C to C++.
Hmmmmm …
And from the “Puts the Fun in Disfunction Department” I noticed that there
are warnings enabled on the compiler command line, only for those warnings to
be disabled in the source code (via many #pragma declarations). Oh, and the
reason it runs so slow is that the optimization level is set to 0, possibly
to make the code easier to debug by looking at the resulting assembly code
(I'm guessing).
It's also becoming clear that no one really knows who is using “Project:
Bradenburg.”
The fun never stops.
