A Strategy for Defining Order Relations
If you want to compare two complicated objects, the strategy is to define a function that computes a single number from each object and then compares those numbers. - C/C++
If C++ Objects Are Unrelated, Are They Equal?
Last week, I said that sorting in C++ depended on an appropriately defined comparison operation, and ended by explaining some properties that any such comparison operation must have. Let's continue our discussion. - C/C++
Introducing C++ Order Relations
The C++ library facilities for sorting, binary searching, and ordered containers work only on types with appropriate order relations defined on them. - C/C++
It's A Heisenbug!
It's finally time to wrap up the discussion I started in December about what seemed at first to be a mysterious compiler bug. - C/C++
Isolating A Superbug
How could it possibly be that concatenating preamble and output would always work with one strategy but not another? -

Down The Rabbit Hole
Last week, I described how I almost traced a bug to the wrong program. Having come this far, I would like to describe the actual source of the bug — such a strange source that I would never have suspected it when I began looking. - C/C++
Are You Sure You Know What's Broken?
This week, I continue in our discussion of a bug in a multipass compiler. - C/C++
Debugging by Hypothesis
There's a technical term for people who claim that their programs don't compile because of a compiler failure rather than a bug in their own programs: arrogant. - C/C++
Debugging As Science: A Concrete Example
Last week, I argued that debugging is more science than art. I would like to continue that discussion with an example from my own experience. - C/C++
Debugging: Art or Science?
Every bug is different, so saying something that applies to the act of debugging requires finding something general to say about a bunch of unrelated specific cases that defy generalization by their very nature. - C/C++
