Forbidden C++

The unimaginable evil of C++ is unleashed. Be afraid. Global Variables, Macros, Void*, Goto, Namespace STD, New & Delete, all the tools every C++ programmer needs... right?

Hello! During these miserable times, I hope this raises a few smiles. Anyway, take care of yourselves, and don't forget those that may need some additional help. Keep washing those hands!

[veda-powered]

intro is clearly fake... everyone knows programmers don't go outside.

14:47 Way back when I first learned C++ (in college), I wrote an assignment with a goto for clean-up. My professor forced me to re-write it even though there was absolutely nothing wrong with my usage (he admitted so himself).

So, I re-wrote it using a recursive function. He hated that even more. :)

2:07 Global Variables
8:11 Macros
12:40 Goto
16:27 (void *)
22:23 using namespace std
27:31 new & delete

I appreciate this video a lot. Because it doesn't just parrot "Don't EVER do these things" but actually gives examples why, but also gives a case or to where they actually make sense.

#define true (rand() % 100 < 98)

This is just pure evil

Probably the greatest intro I'll ever see for a coding video

who else expected one of their github repos to come out of the box XD

*Cut to my C++ code*

the c++ dark side "box" is actually very bright when opened

TL;DW: The C++ community's failing attempts to erase the C from C++.

[C_Corpze]

This seems very interesting, you actually cover the bad and good usecases for methods as well, I love that.

[Nytra_]

As a programmer who is quite inexperienced with C++, this was an extremely informative and easy-to-understand video. I'll definitely be coming back to your channel in the future. Thank you. :)

2 minutes in and i just want a whole series like this.

Best macro ever:

#define private public

Void* brings up bad memories for me. In one of my classes we had to finish programs to implement various algorithms, but the person who wrote the pre-written parts loved to use void*, even when the type was very clear and essentially always the same. This lead to all kinds of casting problems.
