`noexcept`-affects-libstdc++’s-`unordered-set`

The other day I learned a new place where adding or removing noexcept can change the performance of your program: GNU libstdc++’s hash-based associative containers change the struct layout of their nodes depending on the noexceptness of your hash function.

I wag, therefore I am: the philosophy of dogs

What would a book of philosophy contain if it were written by a dog? Dogs are natural philosophers, and I am convinced they can answer some important questions for us – about life, what is important in it, and how to live it. Philosophers have done their best to address these questions, with limited success. […]
