Improve implementation of constructors about awesomebump

[kmkolasinski]

Hi, I know initialisation list, but how actually it will improve AB functionality? (I will read references in a free time)

[elfring]

I would appreciate another constructive comment after your question in April.

[kmkolasinski]

I have not read those links, because you didn't convince me why I should improve those constructors and as a pragmatic person, I don't want to spent time on something which works.

Can information from the available literature be convincing enough?

[kmkolasinski]

Yes of course it can, but collaboration (in my opinion) is more about sharing experience between people, not just saying: "you are wrong, read this, this and that, and you will know why". So mentioning why or how it could be useful for AwesomeBump would be a good motivation for me to read literature provided by you. Otherwise, your first comment is just a bunch of links to articles which I don't want to read, because it takes time and I have more interesting things to do, since I have no profits from AB.
One doesn't have to be a "programmer" to be able to write programs, and I'm such a person.

Does an information source like the C++ FAQ matter for you?

[kmkolasinski]

Correct me:
Its written:
Conclusion: All other things being equal, your code will run faster if you use initialization lists rather than assignment.
So it seems to be only the matter of speed?

[elfring]

• Is the aspect "speed" one of the major concerns for a programming language like "C++"?
• Do you care for exception safety?

[kmkolasinski]

Ad 1. As always for such generalized questions: it depends. Here it will not affect the speed, so it is not a concern for me.
Ad 2. As before, but now personal question, answer: it depends, sometimes I care sometimes not. I mostly program in Fortran, which does not know the exception idea.

Do you understand "pragmatic" word? Because it seems for me, you don't.

[elfring]

The involved maintainers can be so "pragmatic" of course to stay with the design decision that this software will not be made a bit more efficient at suggested source code places for a while.

If you want you may help and contribute to this project. I don't see a problem if someone makes the parts of the code prettier and send me corrections by pull-requests.
