The songs of The Weeknd are being played almost non-stop on my radio, e.g. In your eyes[^]
Anyone else think that these songs have a certain German sound to it?
|

|
European - Yes. But I wouldn't be able to define a country/region.
My tastes lie towards heavier types of music. My idea of a German sound would be Rammstein[^]

Rammstein is good, but I prefer Die Toten Hosen[^]
Just my two cents since we are posting good German bands.

As close as the British every got to chanting a mantra, sadly no Charlotte Green for the real aficionados.

While tip-toeing through the tulips of LLVM, I came across a section of C++ code that follows:
//===--------------------------------------------------------------------===//
// Instruction creation methods: Compare Instructions
//===--------------------------------------------------------------------===//
Value *CreateICmpEQ(Value *LHS, Value *RHS, const Twine &Name = "") {
return CreateICmp(ICmpInst::ICMP_EQ, LHS, RHS, Name);
}
Value *CreateICmpNE(Value *LHS, Value *RHS, const Twine &Name = "") {
return CreateICmp(ICmpInst::ICMP_NE, LHS, RHS, Name);
}
Value *CreateICmpUGT(Value *LHS, Value *RHS, const Twine &Name = "") {
return CreateICmp(ICmpInst::ICMP_UGT, LHS, RHS, Name);
}
.... And there are about 20 or so similar functions.
My point is not about the code, but rather the "layering" of one-line functions.
Relatively recently, someone made a comment in another about function size (I apologize--I don't remember the thread) and it reminded me of days gone by when we had a recommended function size of 40-60 lines of code.
The reason for the function size at that time was so that a complete function would fit on ONE printed page (maybe two pages for a really complex function).
Paper size was commonly 66 lines x 132 columns. The idea was that each function would be printed on a separate page and you would be able to look at a page to see the complete processing of the function.
Looking at the above code, where a uniquely named function is created for each parameter type adds unnecessary complexity to the code.
Further, these functions, along with many other more complex functions, are in a C++ header file.
IMO, this is the type of coding practice that I personally do not like because it adds a layer of unnecessary complexity.
Just my thoughts....

This is code from the current version of LLVM--the back end to clang, julia and a few other languages.
