I have written template, but I can't remember when. I may write templates again, but I'm not looking forward to it. There are so many other solutions.
However, I'm using containers, based on templates. Mostly those of Qt, rarely now those from the STL. That does not make my code not clumsy, nor not error-prone. You won't believe it, I do make error, whatever the language is ! Yes !
I was just telling that, in my opinion, using template can makes my code look complex, obscured, hard to understand after 2 weeks, just as if I wrote it in Perl. And understanding compiler error messages, sometimes just because of a typo, can be a pain in the ass.
Part of the problem is that I know nobody who ever read the C++ specifications, and I'm among those people. I could, but it would get me fired, because I've better things to do during the day, and I sleeping most of the night. I live for coding, but it cannot be my unique activity. And when I do code, my purpose is not to try to use all the old and new features of the language. My purpose is to make it work in a readable form, by me or may be later, by others. Others that can also be part of the problem (as I could judge, many of the colleague I worked with were not fit for such language; how lucky I am now, I'm the only C++ programmer in my current small team !).
C++ is still my favorite language, but I gave up on many features long ago. Even on templates ! Why ? Because just one stupid mistake can produce hundreds of compile errors. And also, I don't want my code to become Perl like : a write only language.
Mac OS X supports aptX. I've done the test : - connect to an aptX capable speaker - alt-clic the Bluetooth menu - menu shows more details about the connection. Among them, it showed the used codec : aptX when it's used (SBC in most other cases).
The market is pretty bad in my opinion :
- CSR (owned by Qualcomm now, as you said) makes most of the sold chips. Perhaps something like 70%. But something you'd learn only after buying one of their expensive development kit is that the chip is based on a very old architecture, the ADK (SDK for CSR chips) is awful, resources are sparse. Some examples :
- to build your application, you either start from scratch (just crazy) or use a provided example. You'll get something like 100 or 150 bytes of free memory for your data. Good luck optimizing the base code to get more.
- sizeof(uint8) = 2. Yes. As crazy as it sounds, it is allowed by the C/C++ specifications. But that's the only time and the only platform on which I saw such a crazy thing. It may be justified by the old chip architecture (may be there's only even addresses, you can only reach pairs of bytes). But CSR does not advertise this, you have to guess by yourself and struggle with strange behaviors. CSR likes to waste your time. unit8 a = 255; a ++; a == 256. Deal with that.
- the only I2C function available allows you to transfer data from the chip to a slave. Very well ? Not really. First point, how do you think the data is transferred from your buffer when sizeof(uint8) = 2 ? Just try, it's not documented. Second point, the documentation (I should say the comment in the.h) says that you'll probably encounter radio problems (sound cuts) if you try to transfer more than 64 bytes. Wrong, you'll discover that it should say : you cannot transfer more than 64 bytes, period.
- how would you discover that ? By using the CSR support ? How long would it take ? Hours ? Days ? No, weeks. If you are a small structure, don't hope for a responsive support. It took us around 1 month to get an answer to a question, and we had many. You must be Bose or UE or something to get a true support I guess. You'll buy 50 K - 100 K chips per year ? Not interested.
- the build firmware can use virtual filesystem. It works, but for an unknown reason, you'll can only use the first 3 KB of your files. There's a workaround, but that's 3 KB at a time.
- the DSP part of the chip, Kalimba, has good performances on paper (80 MIPS I think). But its fixed point calculations. When you were using an ADAU1701, with floating point calculation, you fall from high. I could have known by reading the CSR chip datasheet ? May be. May be not.
- Microchip : they bought ISSR after trying to buy CSR. They could be a solid competitor to CSR, but I don't know anything about any SDK. They have some very low latency solutions, using the BT radio, but no BT protocol at all, just some proprietary one.
- Chinese manufacturer. I only know they exists. I did not even think about asking for datasheets or SDK...
- English solution providers. There are some, with a good experience of CSR chips (they are all from Cambridge, the C in CSR). But they are very expensive.
The real reason is complete failure of interior and exterior services. But nobody in the government agree to an inquiry on the matter.
As far as I know, in France, there are : - 19 (yes ! 19 !) more or less "secret" services; intelligence services or so. - one day, somebody saw that it was not working. Solution ? Create a super service which task is to coordinate the 19 others. - problem : this solution is not working at all. New solution ? Create a super-super service to coordinate the super service. LOL. - not working ? People die ? Solution ? Blame internet (and encryption), spy on people, change the law and the constitution to spy more and to forbid demonstrations (of all kind), and give more power to police.
Please, United States, do you think you still owe France something for what La Fayette did to help you ? You can payback now ! Help us eliminate the wanna be dictator Manuel Valls and his friends Caseneuve, Urvoas & more ! Oh wait ? Already done during WWI an WWII ? Too bad, we're doomed...

Don't worry, politicians are working hard to put French laws on par with US ones. And the TPP will help them achieve that. By the way, don't be fooled by those who call themselves socialists : they are of the same kind than the right wing. Perhaps worse. Sarkozy, right wing, was very good at destroying employee protections, and giving at lot to companies. Holande, so called socialist, is doing worse. He is also urging a French Patriot Act, while the US are struggling to cancel it.
An IDE made by developers for developers. There's no fancy HMI going in the way, source code/other things ratio is always maximized. There's Git support (among some others I think).
I'm even using it for non Qt project.
The "worst" I've done is: - make a project with STM CubeMX and generate the code - using some bash scripts, I extract source files and parameters from generated file to produce a QtCreator project - enjoy editing with syntax highlighting, completion, even a simple refactor function (ok, semi intelligent rename across multiple files)
After many problems with sound cards, sound cards drivers and video drivers, I removed sound hardware from my PC. I use the HDMI output of my video card, connected to an Audio Video amplifier and that's all. 5.1 when needed, in games or VLC.
You're right, it would fit the context much better than the yellow star. The latter is by far the most known, though. The fact is that I didn't know about the other signs; or I didn't remembered. Anyway, shame on me, a French should know that. That's frightening me : losing memories like this one. I didn't know war. I barely spoke of it with my grand parents before they die. And I see the world committing the same mistakes than 50 or 100 years ago.
OK, France is not perfect. I can tell, I'm French. But this problem is not a French only problem. It's a problem of tax avoidance. Few years ago, Sarkozy said "Tax heavens don't exist anymore". Seriously !?!? So, why are Google, Amazon, etc, paying so little taxes ? In France only ? Do you think they are paying these taxes in your magnificent United States of America ? No, they're just paying a little as they can _everywhere_.
Here, in France (and probably in some other countries), we can get money back for OS and crapware. OK, I'm talking about the whole set of crapware, Redmond one included. It's difficult, it's long, you have to go before a judge (or somebody close to). But you can get your money back. Several computer manufacturers have lost in court.
M$ gives tools and procedures to OEM and manufacturers to add it. And now they want us to pay for it's removal ? "Vindju" comme on dit !

I wonder... Why are there so many upper case letters ? I thought only Germans put upper case letters at the beginning of all words. Not English ?
So, why "Australia Adopts EU's Geographical Indicator System For Wine" ?
And then, why only one in "amontillado, Auslese, burgundy, chablis, champagne, claret, marsala, moselle, port, and sherry". I think these words would deserve some, don't you think ?
That's what I've been taught. May be I'm wrong, I'm French...
