Starts with memory-managed C-style malloc arrays and a raytracer that uses pointers-to-pointers to store polygons and crashed GCC when a three-way assignment mutates two pieces of state on the left. Describes a proxy for instant messaging built from a homegrown socket class that connects server and client code and “works but I don’t recommend it.” Details using perl regex via a code generator and a makefile that turns .cppp into .cpp in-place and the pitfalls of handmade intrusive lists and custom iterator semantics.
