Joke on you until the python program segfaults
If it does it’s because of C/C++ code
Embedded C entered the chat
Your loop had a race condition, so we let the smoke out for you.
No bounds checking, only fast.
This right here - C++ iirc is used mostly for microprocessor code in an industry setting, where EXTENSIVE testing is done so that bloated code doesn’t need to constantly check for programmer errors every single time, i.e. where execution speed is prioritized over programmer development time. And whenever that is not the case, well, as OP pointed out, other higher-level languages also exist (implication: to choose from).
C++ iirc is used mostly for microprocessor code
lol no, it’s used almost everywhere where performance is important and people want(ed) OOP, from tiny projects to web browsers (Chrome, Firefox) to game engines (Unreal, CryEngine). Many of these are hugely complex and do encounter segfaults on a somewhat frequent basis.
Saying C++ is mostly used for embedded applications is like saying C# is mostly used for scripting games, i.e. it doesn’t nearly cover all the use cases.
higher-level languages also exist
This depends on your definition of “higher-level”, but many people would argue that C++ is on a similar level to Java or C# in terms of abstraction. The latter two do, however, have a garbage collector, which vastly simplifies memory management for the programmer(generally anyway).
Where’s rust?
Compilation: top row, runtime: button row.
Rust required you to fix all the errors before running the code.
Runtime errors are still a thing.
Compared to that trio, they are a rarity that make people excited just to spot one.
I have a graphical application that crashes regularly when I switch between displays with Ctrl+alt+number. Something in the winit stack does not like it.
Python: So you used spaces and tabs for indentation? NOW DIE!
Mixing spaces and tabs should be a warcrime.
Find me anyone who claims they use tabs for indentation, and I bet I’ll find at least one case where they’re using both tabs and spaces.
The only safe way to avoid war crimes is to avoid tabs.
Don’t IDEs just replace any tab with 4 spaces anyways? Pretty sure VSCode does
gdb: Am I a joke to you?
