> The fact that the compiler knows the type doesn't help me understand the code if I have to scroll two screens up to see what it was. Doesn't your IDE allow you to effortlessly see the type of a variable, either through inline hints, some sort of keyboard shortcut or at the very least, by hovering your mouse over it? Admittedly I haven't professionally worked in C/C++ since university, but my understanding is that small functions can be (are?) inlined, removing the function call overhead. If that's the case, couldn't you write a 1-line function like "maskMantissa", which would clearly communicate what the code is doing without overhead? |
