Digest for comp.lang.c++@googlegroups.com - 5 updates in 3 topics

Is it a good idea to use auto -return value with all class member
function, or use the return type?
 
this:
 
class Render
 
    int getScreenWidth() const;
    int getScreenHeight() const;
 
    const std::vector<std::vector<T>>& getScreen();
 
 
or this:
 
class Render
 
    auto getScreenWidth() const;
    auto getScreenHeight() const;
 
    const auto& getScreen();
 
?
 
Or is some kind of mix best solution (like using auto only with
long/difficult return types)?
 
How do you do this?

Nah, don't be sorry. It is not you. It is just me being grumpy lately
because of miles of such code to help with. For whatever reasons
people prefer to abuse tools. So there is auto, lets split into
two schools, one that tries to overuse it and other that tries to
avoid it entirely. Then let members of both schools to work over same
code-base. Same about naming either use one letter names or over
30 letter names. Raw pointers are dangerous? Ok, lets make everything that
god damned shared_ptr. Can make sub-repositories? So lets make hundred
of those for every taste but lets make one or two of those huge. And be
sure to arrange those sub-repositories as directed graph with cycles.

You may be interested to hear that I laughed out loud when
I read that. :-)
 
I know exactly what you mean, and it is depressing ... but it's kind
of funny, too.
 
The software company or project that can overcome that (both the "two
camps" thing and the "more extreme is always better" thing) would be
in a very good position.

One is starting to think that you work for duckduckgo as you seem to spam about it *A LOT*.
 
BTW, that is not a cue for you to tell us how good you think duckduckgo is; most of us are quite happy with Google because, basically, Google won.

It's an option for when your favorite search engine goes down
if nothing else.
