From: tony_in_da_uk on 10 Aug 2005 16:56 Standard is for sizeof(type) and sizeof value. E.g. should be sizeof(std::string), but sizeof my_string. Any you're right about the long lines & functions - there are a plethora of these style-abuse issues. What's I'm finding extra interesting is to read about some these more quirky code-efficiency things, and stuff that implies a warped conception of the language behaviour. Liberal sprinkling of friendship is certainly in there, at least when in the code... :-). Cheers - Tony [ See http://www.gotw.ca/resources/clcm.htm for info about ] [ comp.lang.c++.moderated.

Only one I can think of is the lack of const (and I mean lack of const *in each and every single isntance* where you're not *required* not to use it).
