future versions? One of the things I was taught when I was learning
C++ was
to keep the coding simple and to write it in a way that future
programmers
would be able to read and adjust as necessary. Is this going to be
possible
as the program becomes more advanced?
Is the code going to be re-written? Has it already been re-written?
I am sorry if this was off-topic but I have just read the interview with
Prof Mendez and that is what got me to thinking....
If you're a C++ programmer, then the best thing to do about this is to
start untangling the supposed mess of code :)
As an end user, I've never found OOo's coding style to be an issue.
What's more, I've read the exact opposite of what you just said ... ie
that the code is actually very readable and well maintained.
But anyway, whatever. I could make the same blanket statement about MS
Office's coding. Would that make you stay away from it?
I just have one question. If you are a C++ programmer, why don't you
download the source code and judge for yourself whether or not the
coding is a mess.
