Destructuring an array

6 An array can be destructured when being assigned to a new variable. const triangle = [3, 4, 5]; const [length, height, hypotenuse] = triangle; length === 3; // → true height === 4; // → true hypotneuse === 5; // → true Elements can be skipped const [,b,,c] = [1, 2, 3, 4]; co...

Reading or writing through a null pointer

int *ptr = nullptr; *ptr = 1; // Undefined behavior This is undefined behavior, because a null pointer does not point to any valid object, so there is no object at *ptr to write to. Although this most often causes a segmentation fault, it is undefined and anything can happen.

Modifying a string literal

C++11 char *str = "hello world"; str[0] = 'H'; "hello world" is a string literal, so modifying it gives undefined behaviour. The initialisation of str in the above example was formally deprecated (scheduled for removal from a future version of the standard) in C++03. A num...

Listening to Changes of contenteditable

Events that work with most form elements (e.g., change, keydown, keyup, keypress) do not work with contenteditable. Instead, you can listen to changes of contenteditable contents with the input event. Assuming contenteditableHtmlElement is a JS DOM object that is contenteditable: contenteditableH...

Switch off properties during macro execution

It is best practice in any programming language to avoid premature optimization. However, if testing reveals that your code is running too slowly, you may gain some speed by switching off some of the application’s properties while it runs. Add this code to a standard module: Public Sub SpeedUp( _ ...

Pattern matching on a map

Passing lambdas around

Since lambda functions are values themselves, you store them in collections, pass them to functions, etc like you would with other values. // This function takes two integers and a function that performs some operation on the two arguments fn apply_function<T>(a: i32, b: i32, func: T) -> ...

Returning lambdas from functions

Returning lambdas (or closures) from functions can be tricky because they implement traits and thus their exact size is rarely known. // Box in the return type moves the function from the stack to the heap fn curried_adder(a: i32) -> Box<Fn(i32) -> i32> { // 'move' applies move se...

Sorting sequence containers by overloaded less operator

If no ordering function is passed, std::sort will order the elements by calling operator< on pairs of elements, which must return a type contextually convertible to bool (or just bool). Basic types (integers, floats, pointers etc) have already build in comparison operators. We can overload this ...
