It seems to me that this function would not be valid since it uses the keyword 'default' as an identifier: int foo() { int default = 42; return default; } However, the Microsoft C++ compiler (versions 14.00.50727.762 and 15.00.30729.0) compile the code without warnings or errors (using the simplest possible command line: 'cl f...
How can I implement a bipartite matching algorithm (probably based on a max-flow algorithm) in C or C++ ? To be specific, I have this input in a file: (1,3) (1,5) (2,5) (M,F) --> where M represents id of MALE and F is id of FEMALE. I need to find the maximum number of matches and show matched couples. Like: matches: 1&3 , 2&5 I h...
I'm working on a plugin for Firefox on a mac. our plugin has it's own scrollbar. How does the event stucture differ for controlling a scrollbar within a plugin, vs in a normal application? Symptoms: code works fine in a stand alone application. Mouse wheel works fine in both cases. In plugin, the scrolling isn't live, and often won't a...

I have a for loop generating integers. For instance: for (int i=300; i>200; i--) {(somefunction)*i=n; cout<<n; } This produces an output on the screen like this: f=00000000000100023; I want to store the 100023 part of this number (i.e just ignore all the zeros before the non zero numbers start but then keeping the zer...
How can I write a wrapper that can wrap any function and can be called just like the function itself? The reason I need this: I want a Timer object that can wrap a function and behave just like the function itself, plus it logs the accumulated time of all its calls. The scenario would look like this: // a function whose runtime shoul...

I need to call a library function that sometimes won't terminate within a given time, unfortunately. Is there a way to call the function but abort it if it doesn't terminate within n seconds? I cannot modify the function, so I cannot put the abort condition into it directly. I have to add a timeout to the function externally. Is it may...

I have a bunch of flows and data processing applications that I occasionally need to spy on, meaning I need to know what files they read. This is mostly to aid in packaging testcases, but can also be useful when debugging. Is there a way to run the executables in such a way that produces such a list? I have two thoughts on this: Ther...
Is it possible to zero out the memory of deleted objects in C++? I want to do this to reproduce a coredump in unit test: //Some member variable of object-b is passed-by-pointer to object-a //When object-b is deleted, that member variable is also deleted //In my unit test code, I want to reproduce this //even if I explicitly call delete...

Hey all, ok, so I got a doubt, I want to know if this is possible: I'm using a database, with generic data (strings, ints, bools, etc...). Whenever an object is constructed or a member of an object is modified, I have to query the database with the specific action (SELECT or UPDATE). First of all, this isn't a DB related question, my r...
EDIT: I figured out the solution. I was not adding -combine to my compile instructions and that was generating the errors. I'm in the process of working through the Deitel and Deitel book C++ How to Program and have hit a problem with building and compiling a C++ interface using g++. The problem is, I've declared the class in the .h...
