    c++ truncation
    I have just joined a team that has thousands of lines of code like:int x = 0; x=something(); short y=x; doSomethingImportantWith(y); The compiler gives nice warnings saying: Conversion of XX bit type value to “short” causes truncation. I’ve been told that there are no cases where truncation really happens, but I seriously doubt it. Is there a nice way to insert checks into each case having the effect of: if (x>short.max) printNastyError(__FILE,__LINE); before each assignment? Doing this ma

    windows logging console truncation
    We build complicated console-based tools that produce a lot of commentary on the console. These tools process a lot of data and so runs are expensive and we don’t like to do them more often than necessary, especially during testing where we already have to run them repeatedly. During such tests, we often log the result to a file to capture this commentary for inspection:C:> [ourcommand] >log.txt When the application runs to completion, this works great.If the application crashes (illegal mem

How is that possible? But my main question is: how can I get the s
