Programming@programming.dev•Discussion: Programming conventions for On/Off functions. Singular or separate?
3·15 days agoWhat’s common among other C++ programs in a similar ecosystem? Mimic that.
For instance, among OTP applications in Erlang, it is common for an application to publish a :start/0 and :stop/0 function, alongside :load/0 which neither stops nor starts, and sometimes :connect/1 and :disconnect/1 functions.

Hah. No. I’m claiming there’s a joke that went over your head. And apparently over the heads of quite a few more readers. That’s OK.
