Interceptors Are Functions Too

I could not agree more with my colleague and friend Travis Johnson's opinion that "[INTERCEPTORS ARE SO COOL][iasc]!" In that post, he succinctly describes the [Interceptor pattern][pattern] as used adroitly by [OkHttp][okhttp]. But, as is often the case, I believe a complicated object-oriented pattern obscures the simple functional gem within it.

What is an Interceptor?

I'll quote liberally from [OkHttp's documentation on the topic][okhttp-interceptor]:

Interceptors are a powerful mechanism that can monitor, rewrite, and retry calls. […] >

C Reserved Identifiers

This translates sections [7.1.3][1] ("Reserved Identifiers") and [7.13][1] ("Future library directions") of the ISO C90 specification into English (and regexes).

This document will also cover the additions introduced by C99's section [7.26][3] ("Future library directions"), C11's section [7.31][4] ("Future library directions"), and C17's section [7.1.3][5] ("Reserved Identifiers").

What is the Strict Aliasing Rule and Why do we care?

(OR Type Punning, Undefined Behavior and Alignment, Oh My!)

What is strict aliasing? First we will describe what is aliasing and then we can learn what being strict about it means.

In C and C++ aliasing has to do with what expression types we are allowed to access stored values through. In both C and C++ the standard specifies which expression types are allowed to alias which types. The compiler and optimizer are allowed to assume we follow the aliasing rules strictly, hence the term strict aliasing rule. If we attempt to access a value using a type not allowed it is classified as undefined behavior(UB). Once we have undefined behavior all bets are off, the results of our program are no longer reliable.

Unfortunately with strict aliasing violations, we will often obtain the results we expect, leaving the possibility the a future version of a compiler with a new optimization will break code we th

Git Subtree Basics

If you hate git submodule, then you may want to give git subtree a try.

Background

When you want to use a subtree, you add the subtree to an existing repository where the subtree is a reference to another repository url and branch/tag. This add command adds all the code and files into the main repository locally; it's not just a reference to a remote repo.

When you stage and commit files for the main repo, it will add all of the remote files in the same operation. The subtree checkout will pull all the files in one pass, so there is no need to try and connect to another repo to get the portion of subtree files, because they were already included in the main repo.

Adding a subtree

Let's say you already have a git repository with at least one commit. You can add another repository into this respository like this:
