Clang: Defending C++ from Murphy's Million Monkeys Tue, 17 Jan 2012 16:36:00 GMT Were we to craft a Lenox Globe of programming languages, C++ might be followed by a famous cautionary phrase: Here Be Dragons. The language can be complex and daunting to programmers who are often shouldered with the task of writing large, complex programs. Those millions of code monkeys need help to resist Murphy's siren song and navigate C++'s treacherous waters of memory corruption and concurrency bugs. Clang is a C++ compiler platform that tries to address these challenges (among others) across the spectrum of development activities. It provides fantastic diagnostics, static and dynamic program analysis, advanced rewriting and refactoring functionality, and language extensibility. Together with improvements to the language in C++11 these help programmers cope with today's code and write better code tomorrow. Clang also makes it easier than ever before to evolve and evaluate new language features and extensions to make C++ itself better. Through this talk I'll give some background on the Clang compiler, what it does today to make writing C++ better, and how we're using it to help shape the C++ language going forward. (image)
Peter Heldens - Creating Scripts with TouchDevelop Thu, 09 Feb 2012 18:19:22 GMT Peter Heldens, a manager at Microsoft University in the Netherlands, recently visited the touchdevelop team in Redmond, WA.

Variadic Templates are Funadic Wed, 11 Jan 2012 00:43:00 GMT Variadic templates are arguably the most profound change in the core language brought about by C++11. Curiously, however, the C++ community still tiptoes carefully around them: variadic templates enjoyed less coverage than features such as "auto" or lambdas. Part of the reason is that more popular features simplify expression of existing designs, which makes said features easier to understand and use.
STL11: Magic && Secrets Wed, 11 Jan 2012 00:44:00 GMT The C++ Standard Library expanded and evolved massively between C++98/03 and C++11. It's easy to forget the magnitude of these changes, because they happened gradually and sometimes invisibly. Some things (like shared_ptr, regex, and function) were developed in Boost in the early 2000s, before making their way into TR1 in 2005 and then C++11. Other things, like container move semantics, automatically improve programs without human intervention. Sometimes I can hardly believe that programmers used to live without non-intrusive deterministically reference-counted smart pointers! We are fortunate to live in such an advanced and enlightened age.

Defrag: Change Pinned Sites Icons, Laptop WiFi Router, Full Path for File Mon, 06 Feb 2012 20:57:07 GMT Microsoft tech troubleshooter extraordinaire Gov Maharaj and I help walk you through troubleshooting solutions to your tech support problems. If you have a problem you want to send us, you can use the Problem Step Recorder in Windows 7 (see this for details on how) and send us the zip file to DefragShow@microsoft.com. We will also be checking comments for problems, but the email address will let us contact you if needed.[01:40] - Using D2D with Windows 7 on restore. [04:36] - Closed laptop during updates, now PC hangs. [07:38] - Are RAM cleaners helpful or unneeded? [09:37] - Silverlight in a nutshell.

Then, create a folder named backgrounds in the path %windir%\system32\oobe\info.At last, copy the JPG files according to your monitor's resolution. For example, backgroundDefault.jpg (MUST-HAVE) background1024×1280.jpg background1280×1024.jpg background1024×768.jpg background1280×960.jpg background1600×1200.jpg background1440×900.jpg background1920×1200.jpg background1280×768.jpg background1360×768.jpgAll the images must be less than 256kb in size.

Day 1 Keynote - Bjarne Stroustrup: C++11 Style Tue, 10 Jan 2012 00:41:00 GMT We know how to write bad code: litter our programs with casts, macros, pointers, naked new and deletes, and complicated control structures. Alternatively (or additionally), we could obscure every design decision in a mess of deeply nested abstractions using the latest object-oriented programming and generic programming tricks. Then, for good measure, we might complicate our algorithms with interesting special cases. Such code is incomprehensible, unmaintainable, usually inefficient, and not uncommon. But how do we write good code? What principles, techniques, and idioms can we exploit to make it easier to produce quality code? In this presentation, I make an argument for type-rich interfaces, compact data structures, integrated resource management and error handling, and highly-structured algorithmic code. I illustrate my ideas and guidelines with a few idiomatic code examples. I use C++11 freely. Examples include auto, general constant expressions, uniform initialization, type aliases, type safe threading, and user-defined literals. C++11 features are only just starting to appear in production compilers, so some of my suggestions are conjecture. Developing a "modern style," however, is essential if we don't want to maintain newly-written 1970s and 1980s style code in 2020. This presentation reflects my thoughts on what "Modern C++" should mean in the 2010s: a language for programming based on light-weight abstraction with direct and efficient mapping to hardware, suitable for infrastructure code.
