A native C++ implementation of the .NET delegate pattern
In this article, we present an implementation of the delegate pattern using C++ templates. In the accompanying demonstration project, we provide a simplistic emulation of an event source object - that we call Button - firing a Click event, together with an object we call ButtonContainer that defines a click event handler and registers it with the Button event source.
Implementing 'foreach' for C++ as a Design Pattern
Unlike the newer languages, 'C' and 'C++' do not have a built-in foreach operation. Looping over the containers is one of the most common operations. A foreach simplifies writing and reading of code. Here, a simple approach is suggested to avail this facility in C++.
Why the Double Check Lock Pattern Isn`t 100% Thread Safe
The Double Checked Locking Pattern looks like a simple way to ensure that we can make Singletons thread safe. While the simplest solution is often the best, this one contains complexities underneath that don’t show until you take a closer look...a much closer look. C++ as a language has no notion of threading. Unfortunately, this makes it possible for compilers to break our programs in the most unexpected ways!
