Changing code across chapters

It is sometimes necessary to change code that is reused across many chapters, for example the VDeleter class or a function like createBuffer. If you make such a change, then you should update the code files using the following steps:

  • Update any chapters that reference the modified code.
  • Make a copy of the first file that uses it and modify the code there, e.g. base_code_fixed.cpp.
  • Create a patch using diff -Naur base_code.cpp base_code_fixed.cpp > patch.txt.
  • Apply the patch to the specified code file and all files in later chapters using the incremental_patch.sh script. Run it like this: ./incremental_patch.sh base_code.cpp patch.txt.
  • Clean up the base_code_fixed.cpp and patch.txt files.
  • Commit.
