I happened to find some good reading on C++’s virtual tables, their implementation (on g++) and dynamic_cast. Nothing too special, but somehow I’ve always managed to neglect thinking about this. The Wikipedia article “Virtual method table” is a good starting point, followed by a more detailed explanation on dynamic_cast, courtesy of carcino.gen.nz. Don’t miss the conclusions!

ViewGit 0.0.4 has been released.
Freshmeat announcement is pending:
Added support for optional authentication methods and a simple plugin framework (including an example plugin for Google Analytics).
Fixed various minor bugs as well & improved error handling and reporting.
It was about time to gather the changes into a release.

Looks like Microsoft’s web spider is crawling sites repoting fake (spam) referrals coming from live.search.com. These referrals are completely bogus and if you look at the keywords, it’s quite obvious.
