[26] Built-in / intrinsic / primitive data types
| 26.1 |
Can sizeof(char) be 2 on some machines? For example, what about double-byte characters? |
| 26.2 |
What are the units of sizeof? |
| 26.3 |
Whoa, but what about machines or compilers that support multibyte characters. Are you saying that a "character" and a char might be different?!? |
| 26.4 |
But, but, but what about machines where a char has more than 8 bits? Surely you're not saying a C++ byte might have more than 8 bits, are you?!? |
| 26.5 |
Okay, I could imagine a machine with 9-bit bytes. But surely not 16-bit bytes or 32-bit bytes, right? |
| 26.6 |
I'm sooooo confused. Would you please go over the rules about bytes, chars, and characters one more time? |
| 26.7 |
What is a "POD type"? |
| 26.8 |
When initializing non-static data members of built-in / intrinsic / primitive types, should I use the "initialization list" or assignment? |
| 26.9 |
When initializing static data members of built-in / intrinsic / primitive types, should I worry about the "static initialization order fiasco"? |
| 26.10 |
Can I define an operator overload that works with built-in / intrinsic / primitive types? |
| 26.11 |
When I delete an array of some built-in / intrinsic / primitive type, why can't I just say delete a instead of delete[] a? |
| 26.12 |
How can I tell if an integer is a power of two without looping? |
| 26.13 |
What should be returned from a function? |
