Create a new connection constructor taking connection string and key/value parameter overrides by serpent7776 · Pull Request #1133 · jtv/libpqxx

“I don’t know [data structure], but I know an array will beat it.”
![Guidance
For data:
Where practical, employ linear array traversals.
➜ “I don’t know [data structure], but I know an array will beat it.”
Use as much of a cache line as possible.
➜ Bruce Dawson’s antipattern (from reviews of video games):
struct Object { // assume sizeof(Object) ≥ 64
bool isLive; // possibly a bit field
...
};
std::vector<Object> objects; // or an array
for (std::size_t i = 0; i < objects.size(); ++i) { // pathological if
if (objects[i].isLive) // most objects
doSomething(); // not alive
}
