Config& Config::GetInstance()
{
static Instance instance;
return instance;
}
Config& Config::GetInstance()
{
static Config instance("./HARDCODED_PATH.config");
return instance;
}
my bad
this syntax is a well known mechanism since C++11, it creates your instance atomically
why use heap allocated nonsense?
static local variables are basically global variables that get created only when you gall getInstance for the first time
and they get destroyed when main ends
(now, using globals is basically asking for spaghetti code but... you chose this)
functions are fine, global variables are not
you do know that there isn't a real difference between class static functions and global functions?
so use whatever you decide makes sense
code that in your constructor
throw there
use getenv() to read environment variables
and do your checks
do you know of any other functions to read enbvironment variables?
da hell is that
these are microsoft exclusive functions, they are not portable
do what you decide makes sense
ughhhhhh microsoft...

this function is case insensitive
the only place where microsoft's insecure warnings make sense in my opinion are scanf and strcpy, all the other C functions are working just fine
even microsoft's _s functions can be abused if you try hard enough
