MessageBox etc. in a constructor, would you do that?
what do you think, is showing a message box in a constructor of some class a bad practice? (or any other interaction with the user while initializing an object)

Effect of a ‘double to float’ overflow ?
I’m converting some code that someone else wrote. One of the header files contains this inline function:-
Code:
static inline float minus_infinity() { return -HUGE_VAL; }In VC++ HUGE_VAL isn’t a float; it’s a double, so will this function actually return the correct value? I read somewhere (admittedly for C#) that overflowing a float causes it to return NaN. So will the above code behave sensibly? And will it even exhibit the same behaviour with different compilers? :confused:
