The spec has even a chapter on factories (static constructors). (Oh my, factories? it's like 1997 and design patterns all over again!) I should note that the integration of popular design patterns at the syntax level is disappointing: design patterns tend to emerge to work around a language design's weaknesses…

Google has one of the largest monolithic C++ codebases in the world. We have thousands of engineers working on millions of lines of C++ code every day. To help keep the entire thing running and all these engineers fast and productive we have had to build some unique C++ tools, centering around the Clang C++ compiler.
In Part 1 of the series, we took a look at undefined behavior in C and showed some cases where it allows C to be more performant than "safe" languages.
Awesome! Now http://www.cpan.org/src/README.html needs to be updated so perlbrew can find it.
In Part 1 of our series, we discussed what undefined behavior is, and how it allows C and C++ compilers to produce higher performance applications than "safe" languages. This post talks about how "
