  • Can you give some examples of what you consider to be the issues?

    My professor said that C++ embedded compilers used to be very buggy but have matured quite a lot as of ~10 years ago while C was stable a lot longer.

    Another thing I could think of is the language complexity causing higher resource usage, e.g. by including large libraries though I’m not sure about that since most of the unused stuff should theoretically get optimized out.

    I guess if you don’t know roughly how the internals of some C++ data types work it could cause you to accidentally use dynamic memory allocation when using strings or vectors.

    On the other side, C++ style casts provide more safety as compared to C style casts and allows for usage of references instead of raw pointers to make the code generally safer.




  • Works great on my linux laptop. It’s also available for windows but lacks some sruff there unfortunately. For example you can only send one file at a time and many media players in windows are not recognized and yherefore cannot be controlled from the phone.

    I know this is the linux community. Just wanted to mention these things for people like me who also have a windows machine for gaming




  • Unfortunately I still have some breaking bugs with wayland on my laptop.

    Most notably big blue button (an open source video conference tool) refuses to connect when using firefox with wayland.

    Firefox does not allow copying of urls in wayland if a certain setting is enabled in kde plasmas settings.

    I cannot move views around or redock windows in eclipse.

    Xilinx vivadi randomly crashes on wayland but not on X11.

    Notably, aside from the url copying problem, most of those things will not be an issue for the typical user
