Mar 28, 2018 · So if you used a variable instead of a #define, you had no guarantee that somebody somewhere wouldn't change the value of it, causing havoc throughout your program. In the old days, FORTRAN passed even constants to subroutines by reference, and it was possible (and headache inducing) to change the value of a constant like '2' to be something different.
Oct 28, 2009 · Two special cases (1) static const is preferred within a class scope for class specific constants; (2) namespace or anonymous scope const is preferred over #define. I prefer Enums. Because it is hybrid of both. Doesn't occupy space unless you create a variable of it.
Feb 12, 2021 · 2. #define directives create macro substitution, while constexpr variables are special type of variables. They literally have nothing in common beside the fact that before constexpr (or even const) variables were available, macros were sometimes used when currently constexpr variable can be used.
Jan 19, 2024 · Define a constant instead of duplicating this literal "Queuing workflow message with ID {} and ...
Nov 4, 2009 · You (and everyone else so far) omitted the third alternative: static const int var = 5; #define var 5. enum { var = 5 }; Ignoring issues about the choice of name, then: If you need to pass a pointer around, you must use (1). Since (2) is apparently an option, you don't need to pass pointers around. Both (1) and (3) have a symbol in the debugger ...
Jan 17, 2013 · 1. Also, for this question, you should differentiate between C or C++. C++ would always prefer static const, or const to #define. C++ will only use the preprocessor when it is absolutely necessary. C on the other hand will use the preprocessor more, so an example is needed to give a "correct" answer. – Josh Petitt.
Nov 5, 2010 · 42. In various C code, I see constants defined like this: #define T 100. Whereas in C++ examples, it is almost always: const int T = 100; It is my understanding that in the first case, the preprocessor will replace every instance of T with 100. In the second example, T is actually stored in memory. Is it considered bad programming practice to # ...
Nov 29, 2009 · 1. in c language: #define (e.g. #define counter 100) in assembly language: equ (e.g. counter equ 100) in c# language: according to msdn refrence: You use #define to define a symbol. When you use the symbol as the expression that's passed to the #if directive, the expression will evaluate to true, as the following example shows:
Jan 24, 2021 · Blankly recommending to set this define reinforces bad style and delays what the warning points to: the need for modernizing the code. The use of inet_addr for example causes thread-safety issues. Even locally disabling the deprecation warning would be a better option since it makes the issue visible.
16. Both keywords are equivalent, but there are a few caveats. One is that declaring a function pointer with using T = int (*)(int, int);is clearer than with typedef int (*T)(int, int);. Second is that template alias form is not possible with typedef. Third is that exposing C API would require typedefin public headers.
