It might be an absolutely adequate method. Imagine that is C++. operator-- is overloaded and controls some machinery. You can't just command capacity = currSize. Process is important.

a logical skeuomorphism, how eccentric

that's why c++ gets bullied

That is why it is loved: it allows you to use ideas/objects the same way as you do as an engineer. Super cool.

Haha! I had the same thought.

Yes. Sometimes you're limited by the hardware you're controlling. This code is a bit hard to justify with that excuse though. Normally your code would do a read from hardware to see if the value decremented and then repeat the write. (Possibly a sleep/yield in there if required.)

yes, but in this particular case I wouldn't want to second guess my decrement operation just happens to also be calling the white house or whatnot. Just make a method.

If those are normal integers, the compiler optimizes that to a simple compare and branch/cmov.

So one understood the assignment.

But when you do shoot yourself in the foot, it blows your whole leg off.

It is a method!

thanks

As a shotgun. That's why people don't shoot themselves in the foot with a shotgun.

Until the next person with a slightly different mental way of defining things comes along. Or just a future version of you.

You wouldn't second guess the decrement operation if it's a basic type like int. If I opt into using complex types, then I am responsible to understand/establish/forbid the syntactic sugar for it. That's the mindset I often use to program C++

Yeah, just to say it more clearly: that kind of thing is why lots of people out there insist that operator overloading is a bad idea.
And yeah, it's a C++ thing that mostly doesn't happen in other languages.
