Where I am, we still do!
What libraries are you using? Qt? Do you use anything for database access and rest API (or protobufs like we did) or just custom code?
I miss my days working with C++. It's moved further down the development stack than where it used to be. We used to handle UI, API parsing, and pretty much everything using C++.
I just wish to _not_ work with Python.

If I just use C with classes, plus smart pointers and auto, for my emulator project(s), would that be a reasonably good approach? I once heard that the C++ language contains 4 components: the first catalog is "C", the second is for OOP, the third is for productivity and flexibility such as stl and templates, and the last one is for special cases such as volatile, asm, etc. He then recommends to use catalog 1 with car…
I started off writing C++ this way, basically writing it like it was C89. This is fine if you do not plan to share your work with others, but it's not well-written C++. It will bite you later on. It's best to learn the C++ way of doing things. It will save you so much time and headache. Don't use character arrays, use strings. Don't use C arrays, use std::vector or std::array. Don't write your own lists or sets, use…
If that paragraph doesn't make any sense, and you think you need volatile then there are basically two possibilities: You're writing a Java program (which uses that keyword for something else), or you need std::atomic (or __sync_* for C) instead.
If you just started learning C++, why did you choose it instead of another language? (Rust, C#, Go, etc)
I know a bit of C but feel that the sheer "thickness" of C++ is too daunting and scary to even start.
I've always wanted to learn C++. I have a great handle on C#, making large applications and architectures as well as legacy refactoring in C#, and I would love to learn C++. I recently started at a company with a bit of a hairy c++ application that I would love to refactor or understand more thoroughly. Is this book a good place. Note that I have read a very basic book on C++ much more learning programming book, but…
I personally recommend starting with Stroustrup’s other book…A Tour of C++. It really brings you up to speed quickly with what you need to know in the language without a lot of excess fluff. It’s also very up to date compared to other books.

Huh. The ISBN shown at the top of the page (currently "9780136816485") appears to be incorrect. That seems to be the ISBN for "A Tour of C++" from 2022. The ISBN for this book is, according to the Amazon product page[1], "9780138308681". [1]: https://www.amazon.com/Programming-Principles-Practice-Using... Edit: emailed Mr. Stroustrup and he just replied to say that the bad ISBN has been corrected.
