C++14 and SDL2: Managing Resources - Eric Scott Barr

Update: The final solution in this article has been updated based on feedback from nanofortnight on Hacker News. This change, while not solving the complexity of what it means to work with C++ templates, does help significantly with the readability of this solution. Update 2: ...

interesting read, ty

unique_ptrs are great

10:52

IMHO they don't need the extra layer of abstraction though

@heinrich5991 Hey, where do I get client version from as a 0.7 server? I wnat to do what you discourage here https://github.com/teeworlds/teeworlds/pull/2430#issuecomment-578539436 ^^ (edited)

Race: differentiate between personal and map record by axblk · Pull...

This addresses #2389 Replacing the NetBool with NetEnum works because RECORDTYPE_NONE maps to 0 and RECORDTYPE_PLAYER to 1. The modder has to ensure that RECORDTYPE_MAP is only sent to 0.7.5 client...

@Learath2 the article or unique_ptr?

well the article adds a layer of abstraction to unique_ptrs, which I don't think they need

@timakro ah, slightly misunderstood the protocol change

yeah i guess, but i dont see how to get client version in 0.7

you can, but don't

11:37

maybe you could adjust the protocol so it uses an extra bool instead of another enum variable

11:37

so that it's automatically backward-compatible

@timakro what are you trying to do anyway? compatibility hack?

he's trying to make a race server that sends the correct message to <0.7.4 and >=0.7.5

11:39

the problem is that I slightly misunderstood the protocol change in that pull request

adding another bool is smart

11:39

0.7.6 is not yet released, right

0.7.5

right

so better make that PR soon

what is the extra bool for anyway?

it indicates whether it was not only personal best but also global best

I see

11:41

Do you think the SDL people would accept a patch with a new event type that'd only be used on macOS?

I'd guess so

11:41

can't you map it to an existing one?

the accent menu doesnt give any indication that it's started nor does it give an indication that it's ended, so I can't make it into a SDL_TEXTEDITING event without hooking into some internal stuff, which I think they'd hate more

11:43

I could maybe add a new field to SDL_TEXTINPUT

I mean the best way forward would be to have some sort of communication channel to them

11:43

do you have something like that?

I guess I could file a bug report for discussion on the subject

do you know their response times to issues? ^^

freenode has a #sdl i think

SDL Enthusiasts sounds a bit inofficial

11:45

do you know whether it is official?

i dont think its official but maybe someone important is there

11:46

there is always the freenode #sdl

There is a guy who answers blazing fast to bugs, but he is the only one that quick

freenode #SDL doesn't have any of the people familiar with macOS internals

11:47

yeah icculus is the macOS guy

11:47

my last patch is still awaiting his feedback

icculus is like the lead dev i think

Why does it always end like this? I start out fixing a teeworlds bug, due to some mess macOS created I start fixing an SDL bug which inevitably leads to disassembling AppKit with it's 100 years worth of compatibility hacks

@Learath2 its cuz i care to much about macOS :D

11:52

you**

well it's the only machine I have access to right now

cant u just install linux there

don't have the storage for it

i mean, remove completly macos

I do have a small virtual machine for compiling though

:P

I need macOS to write iOS apps

do it through a vm then

11:53

how often do u write ios apps

whats tw sever tickspeed? 60 hz?

50

iirc

@Ryozuki not much anymore tbh

11:54

xd

11:54

whats this

it's a watergun because american people think emojis dictate societal rules

anybody knows how float precision works? how big can the number go until i loose 0.001 precision? (edited)

xddd

@timakro floats are more precise the closer you are to 0

i know that much xD
