C++ is a well-established programming language that is supported by a big community for many different computing hardware platforms. The language has a set of standards generally named after the approximate year the standard was adopted, such as C++98, C++11, C++14, C++17, and so on. Basically, these standards are an international agreement for C++ compiler technology. If you are using a feature…
In C++ programming, there are macros for the fixed-width integer type that allow you to obtain minimum and maximum possible values. In this post, we explain these macros for integer constants in modern C++.
What are the macros for minimum signed integer constants in…
In C++ development, integer variables can be decimal (base 10), octal (base 8) or hexadecimal (base 16). In addition to int, short int, long int, and long long int, there are fixed width integer types. Fixed-width integers are defined types with a fixed number of bits.
In C++ coding, there are function macros for the fixed-width integer type that expands to an integer constant expression having the value specified by its argument. Their type is the promoted type of std::int_least8_t, std::int_least16_t, std::int_least32_t, and std::int_least64_t and unsigned versions of these types respectively. In this post, we explain these function macros for integer…
The C++ Programming Language is huge, it may have millions and millions of keywords, and commands with every new library or feature addition. In programming, it is hard to memorize all of these keywords. Sometimes when we are using some keywords, we may have some questions…
Operating Systems consist of a lot of system commands, and In C++, we can run system commands by using the std::system() command. In C++ Builder, we can retrieve the output of these commands into components, for example into a Memo (TMemo), or into a ListView (TList). This…
Python is hugely popular and has some really useful libraries. Python is particularly strong in the field of AI and machine learning (ML). If you are C++ developer, you might want your users to be able to analyze data with AI modules or frameworks written in the Python language in your applications. Let’s imagine you want the users to carry out a few button clicks to do some heavy AI…
C++11 introduces the possibility of Delegating Constructors (aka Constructor Delegation) that can be used by C++ in 2023. In the Constructor Delegation feature, class constructors can be invoked within other constructors of the same class. This is a very useful feature that…
The C++11 standard introduced a new alignment feature as one of the many features of the C++ programming language that can be used with the newest C++ compilers today. This new feature was a new keyword align std::aligned_alloc that is used to provide a nested type that can…
The speed of communications is rapidly increasing and new advances in the underlying technology happen with increasing frequency. One of the oldest and maybe one of the most used types of connections in the world is the TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) connection. This protocol is used to enable end-to-end data connections. It is a standard that specifies how data should…
