1. I'm pretty sure that most people using StringBuilder are using it wrong (micro-optimizing it).

What most people should know is that literal constant concatenation is performed at compile time (compiler optimization).

I've seen huge 'string building' code that performs countless calls of Append() to concatenate literal constants.

6. If this list is ordered, I believe this should be the #1.

7. I disagree, this is micro-optimization IMO.

Hello and welcome
In Topic: Why would you ever... Return a Pointer or reference..

Posted 11 Jan 2013

Don't forget to consider passing as reference instead, and making it const if it makes sense. This way you make your pointer usage more reliable/secure.

As void foo(const BigData& data); //Can't change the reference, can't be null

Wikipedia is not the software, MediaWiki it is.

And that is a merely configuration of the software, not a modification. Nobody have to distribute those.
