Top five C/C++ things/tips/tricks you wish you had known earlier and are now used very often

• MIDI2LR

  14 669 8.6 Lua

  An application and plugin to remotely control Lightroom with a MIDI controller

For an example, look at the last few lines of the main class in a program I write, starting near the bottom of this file: https://github.com/rsjaffe/MIDI2LR/blob/master/src/application/Main.cpp at lines 488 or so, where the members of the main program class are declared. There are multiple lines of communication being set up, program configuration classes, etc. The members are constructed in the order they are declared, and you can see that some of the later members take references to the earlier members in their constructors. This is the dependency injection, and by doing it this way, I am forced to declare and construct the dependencies before I construct the members using those dependencies. And, since destruction goes in the opposite direction (bottom up), the dependencies remain valid until after all the classes using the dependencies are gone.
