I dont know if anyone has noted that, but I find that in almost all the source code parameter passing can be improved a little bit, and the same goes for return types. For example, I find that almost all paramters of type CString or CRect are passed by value. Wouldn't it be nice to pass params as const references whereever applicable and possible, likewise const CString& return types can help improve code efficiency a bit. Just my thought .. Has anyone ever noted that ?

I didn't take note of this, but I agree with you. I'm always using const references if possible, especially for CString, because "const CString&" accepts LPCTSTR as well. I would be however much more careful with returning const CString&, because it's safe only for class members. |
