Yves DolceMCS Partner ISVMicrosoft Visual C++ Floating-Point Optimization- January 25, 2008 As you might already know, there's such an article from Eric Fleegal on MSDN: http:msdn2.microsoft.comen-uslibraryaa289157(vs.71).aspx. Dave, a peer of mine, asked a related question to the C++ team and I thought the answer would be valuable to others. From Marko Radmilac: We havent provided details in the article on when we would be allowed to perform a single precision operation instead of double. Heres the correct example: float f = (float) sqrt( (float)...http://blogs.msdn.com/yvesdolc/archive/2008/01/24/microsoft-visual-c-floating-point-optimi... Getting old...- January 20, 2008 I very clearly remember when Michael Brecker started his concert by faking the sound of Miles Davis with an electronicsynthesizer saxophone, myriad of wires hanging everywhere. I was sitting at less than 2 meters in front of him, on the stage, in the Louvain la Neuve auditorium. My friend Alex thinks it was in 1987. Steps Aheads Modern Times album must be one of the first jazz albums I bought, even before Friday Night in San Francisco. When Phillipe Baron played Safari on the radio, I knew I...http://blogs.msdn.com/yvesdolc/archive/2008/01/20/getting-old.aspx C++ Variadic Templates- January 18, 2008 Found this interesting documentsprimer on that topic: http:www.osl.iu.edudgregorcppvariadic-templates.pdf I wonder when we'll see this in our own compiler and thus have efficient make_shared<T> and allocate_shared<T>.

I'm hungry for any mechanism to make the use of my mobile phone easiersafer... I decided to stick with SPB Mobile Shell for now. I find this video quite interesting:http://blogs.msdn.com/yvesdolc/archive/2008/01/16/acquiring-small-targets-on-a-screen-can-... C 3.0 var keyword + Enumerable.AsEnumerable- January 11, 2008 On my way back from Mxico, I read Pro LINQ: Language Integrated Query in C 2008. Just like Charles Petzold first introducing WPF through code (and not markup), I like Joseph Rattz introduction of LINQ through extension methods first instead of the using query expressions. I do think this makes things easier to understand. For me at least. I did not like a big part of the book as it felt more like a reference book. But again, its just me. One thing I disagree with his advice: page 27, he...http://blogs.msdn.com/yvesdolc/archive/2008/01/10/c-3-0-var-keyword-enumerable-asenumerabl... |
