Sicherlich, wenn die heute doch sehr neoliberalen Grünen, die ohnehin nur noch ne bessere FDP sind, mit den ohnehin neoliberalen CDUlern zusammengehen, dann ist das nur natürlich. Aber ist es auch gut?

Nein! Weil eine CDU an der Macht immer doof ist, egal ob nun ein weichgewaschener Ole von Beust ihr vorsteht oder ein Law-And-Order-Freund und Ausländerhasser namens Roland Koch.

Vergiss auch nie, daß es sich um die selbe CDU handelt, die mit Freuden mit Schill zusammengearbeitet haben.

I also hope to see CDU+GAL happening in Hamburg. I absolutely do not see why large portions of GAL insist that the SPD is their only possible coalition partner: Such a attitude is kind anti-democratic, and also is some kind of self-deception: Preserving the environment definitely is a conservative goal by the definition of the word conservative. Also the CDU is highly competent regarding social aspects. It really sucks, that the CDU is confused with the hyper-liberal (better “egoistic”?) FDP regarding that topic. It sucks even more, that SPD, Die Linke and portions of Die Grünen deny the fact, that you have to earn money first, before you can spread it for social projects.

Even the fields of difference make sense: Both parties take extreme positions regarding power generation, foreigner’s integration, school system. Extreme positions (aka. “Black and White”) most of the time are bad positions in my experience, so forcing both parties to find compromises regarding that topics, only can be good.

I have not said that it is not possible to do object oriented programming in C. I just said that it is suboptimal, because the language does not support it. And I know Tim Janik who wrote lots of GObject code - we have studied at the University of Hamburg together; and we are both working on BEAST.

Since we started using C++ in BEAST, we see that the amount of source code you need to write to implement a plugin, a widget or some other part of the program is usually quite a bit smaller than the C code. So I am not saying that you cannot do object orientation in C (GIMP for instance is an excellent object oriented application written in C); my point is only that coding the same functionality in C++ is less work than in doing it in plain C.

Never seen this syntax before. Just tested the source using gdb. No memory is allocated twice.

Sorry for the inconvenience

Jens

I ran across a FIR filter of yours, where you have made a nice templated class for memory alignment. I have a question for you

What is the point in

malloc’ing

and afterwards

new (data + i) T()

You allocate memory twice. You can equally well allocate an array of struct/class/unions and use the __atribute(aligned(16)).

Cheers
Jens
