Orthodox C++

Orthodox C++

What is Orthodox C++?

Orthodox C++ (sometimes referred as C+) is minimal subset of C++ that improves C, but avoids all unnecessary things from so called Modern C++. It's exactly opposite of what Modern C++ suppose to be.

Why not Modern C++?

pgo: profile guided optimization with gcc
# Instrument binaries, pgo data to /data/pgo, serial make is important to not confuse the pgo generator

# Run instrumented program, generate and write pgo data
./runIt

EDIT from 2019: Hi folks. I wrote this gist for myself and some friends, and it seems like it's gotten posted somewhere that's generated some (ahem, heated) discussion. The whitespace was correct when it was posted, and since then GitHub changed how it formats <pre> tags. Look at the raw text if you care about this. I'm sure someone could tell me how to fix it, but (thank you @anzdaddy for suggesting a formatting workaround) honestly this is a random throwaway gist from 2015, and someone more knowledgable about this comparison should just write a proper blog post about it. If you comment here I'll hopefully see it and stick a link to it up here. Cheers. @oconnor663

Here's the canonical TOML example from the TOML README, and a YAML version of the same.

git: Removing the last commit

Removing the last commit

To remove the last commit from git, you can simply run git reset --hard HEAD^ If you are removing multiple commits from the top, you can run git reset --hard HEAD~2 to remove the last two commits. You can increase the number to remove even more commits.

If you want to "uncommit" the commits, but keep the changes around for reworking, remove the "--hard": git reset HEAD^ which will evict the commits from the branch and from the index, but leave the working tree around.

If you want to save the commits on a new branch name, then run git branch newbranchname before doing the git reset.
