a vector needs to allocate N instances of Account but Account has no default ctor. How does the compiler achieve it?
A: indeed the call to array new would prevent the vector<Account> concrete class from compiling due to SFINE rule or something like that. (Java and c# would use type constraints instead.) The compiler must be using 2 separate lines – one to allocate raw memory, the other to initialize the object.
However, when is vector internal array allocated by array new? I discussed with Ashish but found no answer.
Q: why do you need to write your own smart ptr?
A: super simple one, just to deal with some issue of the raw ptr... probably dangle pointer, by overriding the deref operator?
Q: why use unique ptr when shared ptr is general purpose
A: threading...
Q: is the lambda functionality doable in c++98? what is the c++98 equivalent?
Q: OK you don't use c++11 at work, but do you hack around at home?
Q: why is the bid/ask spread much wider in options than the underlier?
A: must be the risk to the writer. Competition didn't drive down the bid/ask spread like it did in FX and cash equities.
AA: delta hedge adjustment can't be done every second. Before the next adjust, the risk to the writer (market maker and quoter) would be quite high.
