The user-defined conversion function makes the interface a lot simpler
AND safer.

It seems unnecessary to throw exceptions when simply checking whether
a library exists.
|
|
Next step is to allow a double click to reset the split to be
automatically resized.

I don't hate Hungarian notation. It has some very nice qualities. But
it also adds a lot of typing.
That said, not using it feels a bit... unsafe. I might go back on this
decision. We'll see.

std::basic_string is nice, but it is not very ergonomic if everything
you really need is to automatically free C strings at end of scope.
I suppose I could have used std::unique_ptr for this, but I suspect
the ergonomics would be worse.

Even though it is a fun challange in many ways, I think that,
realistically, it is probably not worth the complexity. The
Prolog backend isn't ANSI-compatible either.

Turns out that SWI-Prolog's wide string functions, which I started
using in 03fe361, do not convert between narrow Prolog atoms and wide
C strings, as I mistakenly thought. Instead, they work with wide
Prolog atoms. In hindsight, it is not surprising.

In warn_nil, the return value was undefined on exception -- I think.
While informative, the names throw_nil and warn_nil don't work very
well in conditionals:
if (warn_nil<f>(...)) g();
sounds like g should be called if f returns nil and a warning is
issued. But it is actually the other way around; g is called if f is
successful.
if (prefer<f>(...)) g();
sounds less like that.

Some of the checks are likely redundant, but the Windows API
documentation rarely makes it clear WHICH errors may be returned (and
under which circumstances) rather than simply WHETHER errors may be
returned (under any circumstances, including those that do not apply
in the given case).

It isn't really more safe, but it removes the need for a confusing
function pointer cast, which is easy to get wrong. As far as the
compiler is concerned, the result is literally the same, but it does
force the caller to (indirectly, via the template parameter) cast the
return value, which may be a good thing.

f(void) is a C-ism that is valid but unnecessary in C++.

It seems that "right-spaced" pointers are more widely used among C++
programmers.
|
|
Note that I did NOT add const to non-pointer/non-reference arguments
in function declarations (without a following definition), as they do
not mean anything there.

If needed in the future, it is possible to simply copy it from the Git
history.

I.e. using std::basic_string<TCHAR> instead of TCHAR *. This removes
all unmanaged frees.
|
|
This is feasible now that the makedeps script exists to automatically
manage build dependencies (see 6034fe2, d00f8b3).

I already hit upon some object-oriented programming patterns in
*listview.c, so I felt that it would be natural to use this as an
opportunity to learn C++.
