Oh, I do. I just don't have any who deign to demonstrate that they have
actually *tested* their code.
A library without unit tests == a broken library.
And, because unit testing in C is such a PITA, nobody does it.
I used to have a directory full of simple C data structures --
singly-linked list, doubly-linked list, hashtable, binary tree,
etc. -- but I seem to have lost that directory.
Circular buffer is what I was looking for.
I'd forgotten just how low-level C is. Yuck.
Heh.
I'd rather do C and C++....
No, sorry. And I'm a *hardware* guy.
I use C because it is often the most appropriate language. Embedded
systems have a hard time functioning with anything else. Although, I'm
staring at Gambit (Scheme compiled to C) quite hard.
C++. You know what--I can't be bothered anymore. Too much special case
syntax. When I pulled out the fifth C++ reference (Effective C++ 1&2,
Effective STL, IOStreams, STL tutorial & reference guide), I stopped.
When I need to go get my references to write a simple foreach loop (and
figure out how to write functors ... again ...), C++ is losing.
At this point I'd rather do X & C where X is, well, just about anything
other than C++. Okay, maybe not Perl, but I'd have to think about that
a bit.
