Yeah, I've mostly gotten over it to the point where I've started actually learning it. I sort of had to, as I had reason to dig into Unity's shader code (based off of the CG language standard, which is basically C but with a whole lot of built in . . . "features"  ) and I had to learn C in a hurry.

I kind of like it now. I'm not saying I want to use it, but I feel reasonably confident in my chances of being able to get something done if I have to.

I recommend Quill18's videos on shaders that he released just last night.

Seriously, they're really helpful. Quill18 has a habit of making really complicated and scary things seem simple.

has lots of clout with other people who also run companies and manage people.

wow i have seen literally zero evidence of that, i'm pretty sure everyone knows this is a shitty dude who runs a literal spyware company

I ROFL'd. Then I realized you were serious.

(Though yeah, a good Clang compiler that actually gives sensible, human-readable error output on compilation is something I suggest to anyone who has the hardware/software combinations that support it).

I just started using Clang recently. Unfortunately, the first error is listed first, so I have to scroll up to where the command was issued in the terminal. This is compounded by the fact that the Clear command doesn't last (at least in xterm), so I have to open up a new terminal each time to quickly find the error. Reset command seems to work better. I've settled with Visual Studio to get my projects working before switching to Clang for the final result.

Any tips for compiling/debugging in a Linux-based environment?

In C#, I've got a list of objects that each have an int value and would like to sort them in order of said int value.

I don't strictly need to but I would like to understand how the list's sort() function works.  How am I supposed to tell it what value to sort by?

PTW this literal wizardry. Sorry I wont have much to contribute, I barely even qualify as a Scripter, Im far from being a programmer (though thats my life goal)

I think you need to implement the IComparable Interface in the object.

What the hell man, you're not allowed to participate in this thread until you've written three operating systems and a self-learning AI.

I reckon that glaring at my IDE, wondering wtf C++ is being compiled as C when the thing's been given /every indication possible/ (in my very ignorant eyes) that I am writing C++, and after two hours huffing and going to another computer with an already-functioning set up, should allow me to gripe on this thread?

I feel as though getting your environment to work as expected shouldn't be the hardest thing about learning... but I'm not really surprised!

That would be what we call a problem, yes.

Very much so: after duct-taping the first issue -- I did eventually find a way to change the compiler (per file, muttering 'I really shouldn't have to do this it's all broke!' under my breath). It seemed to utterly refuse to read half the libraries I wanted it to, so I did more poking (like a toddler at an iOS lock screen) found that I could get rid of the squiggly lines and alerts around my include statements but could not use any of their contents, so I decided I wanted to get rid of it all. Turns out even /that/ may be impossible due to my confusion in combination with an OS bug (thanks, microsoft). :/ :/ gripe gripe

if youre trying to write c++, getting your environment and libraries to work are certainly the hardest parts. i once spent the better part of a week figuring out how to include a specific library

I think you need to implement the IComparable Interface in the object.

Or just do something like:

Code: [Select]

ListVariable.Sort((a, b)=>a.IntValue.CompareTo(b.IntValue));
Lambdas are great.

Sounds like the time I tried to compile V8 on Windows using Visual Studio.  That took a couple of days because V8 uses some kind of makefile generator system that had to be installed separately, but the projects it created for Visual Studio were only for older versions which didn't get upgraded by VS properly.  Lots and lots of fun with that one.

If you're learning c++, do yourself a favor and learn how static and dynamic libraries work as soon as possible.
