GION is a project I recently created as a part of my effort towards cleaning-up some of the not-so-pretty and strengthening exception safety of the project code base at work.

It’s released under one of the most permissive FOSS licenses I know of, MIT license, in hope, would help others to write better C++ more easily.

Feedback welcomed.

在幾個月前還沒確定落腳處時, 經過一個月左右的奔波面談, 幸運地拿到幾個 offer letter. 其中一個是玄力科技.

玄力是一間今年初剛創立的 startup 科技公司, 致力於研發利基型的創新資安產品. 我與玄力的幾位 key person 談過, 他們很 nice, 也都很有抱負很有想法. 其中的 founder 更是有在美國成功的 startup 經驗. 制度面上的設置是 startup 中少見的完善. 在台大育成中心的小辦公室裏面, 我看到了理想衝撞出來的火花, 只是有了老婆卻沒存款的我沒條件也沒膽量在這個時候再去 startup 拼一次.

你是想找個 fresh start 的 C++/Linux 人嗎? 可以去聊聊天, 說不定你也會喜歡玄力.

玄力徵才 on OSSF and 104.

From Sutter’s Mill:

… we already had a nearly-complete C++0x internal working draft — most features that will be part of C++0x had already been “checked in.” Only a few were still waiting to become stable enough to vote in, including initializer lists, range-based for loops, and concepts.

Quote from Google C++ Style Guide:

We do not use C++ exceptions.

在極端狀況下, 我能夠想像在 no virtual function 或是 no templates 但仍能使用 STL 的環境寫 C++. 但完全禁止 user-defined classes/functions 以拋出 exception 的方式回報錯誤的環境呢? No, thanks. 即便有免費的食物與漂亮的辦公室, 這還是太折磨人了.
