Bjarne Stroustrup (/ ˈ b j ɑːr n ə ˈ s t r ɒ v s t r ʊ p /; Danish: [ˈbjɑːnə ˈstʁʌwˀstʁɔp]; [3] [4] born 30 December 1950) is a Danish computer scientist, known for the development of the C++ programming language. [5]
This article, however, focuses on differences that cause conforming C code to be ill-formed C++ code, or to be conforming/well-formed in both languages but to behave differently in C and C++. Bjarne Stroustrup, the creator of C++, has suggested [4] that the incompatibilities between C and C++ should be reduced as much as possible in order to ...
Here, attempting to use a non-class type in a qualified name (T::foo) results in a deduction failure for f<int> because int has no nested type named foo, but the program is well-formed because a valid function remains in the set of candidate functions.
RAII is associated most prominently with C++, where it originated, but also Ada, [3] Vala, [4] and Rust. [5] The technique was developed for exception-safe resource management in C++ [6] during 1984–1989, primarily by Bjarne Stroustrup and Andrew Koenig, [7] and the term itself was coined by Stroustrup. [8]
The C++ Core Guidelines [91] are an initiative led by Bjarne Stroustrup, the inventor of C++, and Herb Sutter, the convener and chair of the C++ ISO Working Group, to help programmers write 'Modern C++' by using best practices for the language standards C++11 and newer, and to help developers of compilers and static checking tools to create ...
There are theoretical and design arguments in favor of either decision. C++ standardization discussions in 1989–1991 resulted in a definitive decision to use termination semantics in C++. [16] Bjarne Stroustrup cites a presentation by Jim Mitchell as a key data point:
Cfront was the original compiler for C++ (then known as "C with Classes") from around 1983, which converted C++ to C; developed by Bjarne Stroustrup at AT&T Bell Labs. The preprocessor did not understand all of the language and much of the code was written via translations.
Bjarne Stroustrup originally observed, in his book The Design and Evolution of C++, that pointer placement new is necessary for hardware that expects a certain object at a specific hardware address. It is also required for the construction of objects that need to reside in a certain memory area, such as an area that is shared between several ...
