Visitor pattern

I am currently working in porting GCC to a VLIW architeture. Last week our tool's team director met each one of us in the GCC port team. I observed a behavioral pattern involved. I could imagine our director as a visitor who wants visit the entire team. He had to convey message to each one of us. The algorithm (message) for each one of us (elements) is different.

So our director started by asking the root node (Project manager) to accept his visit. He replied by visiting him. The project manager in-turn passed director message about visiting (accept) to the child nodes (each team member) in some order. Every member accepted his request and met him (double dispatch)one by one.

My First Blog

I have been thinking for a long time on starting a blog. Last week, I had a discussion with my boss. During the discussion, he suggested me to blog what ever you want. It can be technical matters, the lessons I have learnt so far, about the process followed in our company etc.

Yes, I have decided now to start blogging my day to day experiences. It will be mostly related to my technical work . I also planned to put general subjects which are of interest to me. I think this is enough for the introduction.
