@0x00004 Perhaps your compiler outsmarted you.

Game development community has a nice way of managing things. I have no downvotes in any of my questions but i m no longer able to ask a question.

@0x00004 this is a pointer so you dereference it to get a reference

but why a=ref does not do anything

@trollingchar could you please demonstrate that?

this is of type SomeClass*, pointer to SomeClass, a pointer and a reference are just not the same

Is it normal for Perlin noise generator to use only 8 gradient vectors?

this is from the noise library github.com/Razaekel/noise-rs/blob/develop/src/gradient.rs

2d

how to deal with repeating patterns and lines of zeros then?

maybe really I should use multiple octaves

@0x00004 You have no downvotes on any of your not deleted questions. All of your questions are taken into account when you encounter a question block, including those that are deleted.

If you need help listing those deleted questions so that you can try and improve them, just let me know.

Today's joy: figure out the cause of a bug we get in release, but not in debug.

@Tyyppi_77 I don't think I'll be able to do this, but maybe using one or two static analyser. It's an issue in our physics engine (ODE).

@Vaillancourt i deleted those because i no longer needed an answer and when i was deleting them there was no answer

@0x00004 Yes, however they have downvotes on them. You may want to figure out of a good quality question, then undelete the question and edit it so that others could upvote it.

@Tyyppi_77 VS can spot some of those uninitialized variables, I think.

@Vaillancourt how would they upvote the old questions?

anyway if i get upvotes for any contribution in community would i be able to ask again?

@Vaillancourt sorry i didnt understand what you meant.

class SomeClass
    {
    public:
        SomeClass()
        {
            a = 5;
        }
        SomeClass(int l_a)
        {
            a = l_a;
        }

        SomeClass& operator=(const SomeClass &l_copy)
        {
            this->a = l_copy.a;
            return *this;
        }

        int a;
    };
    SomeClass a;

    SomeClass b;

@0x00004 They would upvote the the new content. When you edit/reopen a question, it is bumped to the top of the "active" question, and people read it. If it's quality content, maybe some will upvote it.

SomeClass a; SomeClass b; a = b;

@0x00004 There is no guarantee. I don't know the algorithm that prevents you from asking, or allows you to ask again, only SE devs know about it.

1)return *this;

2)SomeClass &ref=a;

3)а=ref;

this is wrong?

@0x00004 I don't understand your question. What are those 1) 2) and 3)?

Sorry

operator=

yes?

after operator= returns *this is that whats happening?

then ref and a point to the same memory location?

the question is how operator= works

what about when SomeClass a gets that &ref?

copy constructor gets invoked only if function returns a value i think

okay

So just clear the air out .

3) a = ref does invoke operator= one more time?

those 3 cases is whats happening when i write a=b

or a.operator=(b);

1)return *this;

2)SomeClass &ref=a;

3)а=ref;

Hey its me again... quick question... i open a UI-Prefab and i see a small thin white outline which represents the choosen screen size... its always there... anyway to disable that thin outline ? When exactly does it show up ?

when we assign a=b operator= gets invoked; and this is whats happening : this->a=l_copy.a; return *this; then reference of *this gets to be created , i.e. SomeClass &ref=*this; then a gets that reference , i.e. a= ref. Am i wrong?

then what exactly is happening?

so return value is not ignored only in that case?

SomeClass &c= a;

thanks)
