@jsc42 I got it working! Woo
Let me know if you'd like me to adjust the size or anything. It won't look too good much smaller than this though. Such is the nature of ASCII art. It's still neat though.

Thank you! It was quite difficult to code that, even I had a lot of help from some public domain code. I wound up retooling most of that code so it could stream directly from the font file, and render via callback instead of using bitmaps, which was part of why it wasn't working in the original code - the bitmaps overlapped each other.
I still have a lot of refactoring and more testing to do but pretty soon my open_font class will be in GFX

No, not orthodonture.
Has anyone else noticed that Microsoft has reformatted all of their online documentation to use K&R style braces instead of Allman style? I personally prefer the previous (Allman) style.

|
|
|
|
|
Got an example? The few things I looked up haven't changed their formatting.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Yuk! No, no, no. This will not do.
At the very least, they need to implement an option to pick the formatting you want.
I find that format a problem because newbs seem to mis-match braces all the time while using it.
|
|
|
|
|
And that's exactly why I dislike that style, because it makes it difficult to, as Randor said, see where the scopes begin and end.

Well,
I think it's important to remember that coding styles are personal preferences and opinions. Although I also prefer the BSD style I must admit.... being exposed to several styles increases my code comprehension levels.
Here is a very old survey from the 7th of May 2012 with my comments on the subject.
Do you have a coding style?[^]

I agree with your comments. The BSD style does improve readability regarding scope.

I wrote that comment nearly a decade ago. It's interesting that my opinion has not changed. By the way, what we were discussing earlier regarding namespace using-declarations is also just an opinion. These things are not really important. It's about personal preference.

Totally correct. There is the Allman style and everything else.
I am so retentive about this, I surround single line indented lines like this.
if (foo)
{
single_line();
}
Sometimes real world function get longer than will fit on one or even two screens. Being able to clearly see and understand the organization of a complicated bit of logic makes it more likely the code is doing what you actually wanted it to do.
And don't get me started on Hungarian notation. I guess if you are coding on paper or a chalkboard it makes sense. Otherwise, what a ridiculous concept.

Allman makes the braces easy to match up. But more importantly, it makes conditions easy to read because the left brace is alone on the following line. Most styles squander horizontal space but are miserly when it comes to vertical space.
|
|
|
|
|
That is because readability becomes less important when publishing. Vertical space means $$$, so it trumps readability.
|
|
|
|
|
That's probably how K&R started, so people then thought it was the right way to do it.
|
|
|
|
|

Curiously, the actual header file itself use the Allman style. The curious part being it was changed for the documentation.
typedef struct addrinfoW
{
int ai_flags; int ai_family; int ai_socktype; int ai_protocol; size_t ai_addrlen; PWSTR ai_canonname; _Field_size_bytes_(ai_addrlen) struct sockaddr * ai_addr; struct addrinfoW * ai_next; }
ADDRINFOW, *PADDRINFOW;

Well,
Historically the employees that write the MSDN documentation are not FTE (Blue) but V-dash or A-dash[^] employees. The contribution they make is very much appreciated but they usually have restricted access to resources and source code. The documentation reflects that.
Recently there has been an internal push for some dedicated FTE and resource allocations dedicated to documentation.

Allman style.
I only do K&R for java-script.
|
|
|
|
|
I've been doing a lot of Typescript lately and become so used to K&R style that when I switch back to C# I looks weird.
|
|
|
|
|
Seems to be language dependent.
C# is all Allman as far as I can see.
