   Hello, andrew!   
      
   Wednesday February 08 2023 06:52, from andrew clarke -> Vitaliy Aksyonov, in

    ac> so anyone with that compiler should still be able to build a version   
    ac> that will run in XP unless you're using a new C++ feature from C++11   
    ac> or C++20 that VS2012 doesn't support.   
      
   I really appreciate Vitaliy's intent/effort to replace malloc() allocations   
   together with the memset/memcpy hacks with the standard C++ constructor   
   workflow but here is the thing. GoldED codebase is based off some "C with   
   classes" version of C++ and those memset/memcpy hacks were the optimization   
   you can apply in pre-c++11 era without the rvalue move semantics.   
      
    ac> But for GoldED it shouldn't really be necessary to refactor the code   
    ac> using C++'s increasingly estoric features. Instead, just using   
    ac> features from the STL would be a big improvement.   
      
   I was saying in that Russian speaking ru.golded echo-conference, that just   
   replacing C-style data structures like single/doubly linked lists, hashes,   
   dynamic arrays, char* strings and friends with std::vector, std::list,   
   std::string, you name it will trash about 20% of the GoldED code. But still,   
   pre-c++11 language has no RVO, so you will have to return objects via the   
   pointer/reference passing as a function argument most of the time,  then not   
   even defined memory model! though, GoldED is a single-threaded application, so   
   nobody cares.   
      
   To sum up my brain farts, if it were say Husky project with plain-C there   
   would be no question to continue refactoring in old plain C, but here with the   
   OOP C++ style code we would prefer to get at least to C++11 level, otherwise   
   just go ahead and fix delete[]/delete stuff and call it a day.   
      
   Best Regards, Nil
