Xcode is amazing. Of all the IDEs I’ve used (and this is, as always, a personal opinion, having used Visual Studio since version 6, Eclipse, Kdevelop and others) it’s the one I prefer. And today I found another reason to like it.
I’ve noticed this: when I use Xcode on a single-processor machine (such as a [...]

ImageMagick is a cool toolkit; not only it’s a complete set of command-line applications, ported to Windows, Mac and Linux, supporting hundreds of different image formats, it’s also a C++ library that you can use in your own applications!
On Mac OS X, I installed it via MacPorts using the all-time classic:
sudo port install ImageMagick
Then I [...]

Did you knew this is possible in C++? I didn’t.

void Fun()
{
class Local
{
//… member variables …
//… member functions …
};

// … code using Local …
}

class Gadget
{
public:
void sayHello() const

JUCE is a gorgeous thing:
JUCE (Jules’ Utility Class Extensions) is an all-encompassing C++ class library for developing cross-platform applications.
It’s particularly good for creating highly-specialised user interfaces and for handling graphics and sound.
For Mac OS X (with the Developer Tools installed) and Windows (using Visual Studio 6, 2003 or 2005), the library builds out-of the box [...]

This is a rant: I am tired of seeing virtual methods implemented in child classes that, at some point or another, call the method of the same name in the base class. For me this is a sign of poor architecture. A bad, bad smell in code.
Let’s say that you have a base class, called, [...]
