I have a RVDS project for a certain video decoder (its all C code), created for ARM926EJ-S target, executed using the RVDS 2.2 simulator. I am not using any scatterload / <configuration file> / <map file> to mention the various memory segments in the code like Stack segment, Heap, Data segment, Code Segment for RVDS Simulator environment...
How should I tell SDL to maximize the application window? I'm creating the window with these flags: SDL_OPENGL | SDL_HWSURFACE | SDL_DOUBLEBUF | SDL_RESIZABLE. Thanks for your replies ...
How do I make gdb print functions of interest as they are called, indented according to how deep in the stack they are? I want to be able to say something like (made up): (gdb) trace Foo* Bar* printf And have gdb print all functions which begin with Foo or Bar, as they are called. Kind of like gnu cflow, except using the debugging sy...
On Vista, I got a problem with the application crash handler. Basically, if something unexpected occurs which cannot be captured by SEH, I get this pop-up window with "The application stopped working", blablabla, "Close program/Debug program" -- that is, after I disable the error reporting using the system control panel. With error repor...
I know that buffer overruns are one potential hazard to using C-style strings (char arrays). If I know my data will fit in my buffer, is it okay to use them anyway? Are there other drawbacks inherent to C-style strings that I need to be aware of? EDIT: Here's an example close to what I'm working on: char buffer[1024]; char * line = N...
I thought that if a c pointer pointing to a char array was incremented then it would point to the next element in that array. But when I tried this I found that I had to increment it twice. Trying the increment using sizeof(char) I found that adding the size of a char was too much so it had to be divided by two. #include <stdio.h> int...
I'm attempting to learn basic Win32 programming and running into a frustrating problem. I wish to convert a variable (Call it NumClicks) and display it as the application name (as part of a string). From what I've seen, going from int + some block of text to a char* is problematic, because converting it to the requisite end data type(LPC...
I have a FAT12 image file and I have to open it and read it. I would like to view this image file(directories/files with in) so I can have an idea of what outcomes I should be getting. Anyone know of a good software that would let me view this FAT12 image file? Also can someone guide towards the right directions when trying to read the c...
Im looking for a small C library to handle utf8 strings. Specifically, splitting based on unicode delimiters for use with stemming algorithms. Related posts have suggested: ICU http://www.icu-project.org/ (I found it too bulky for my purposes on embedded devices) UTF8-CPP: http://utfcpp.sourceforge.net/ (Excellent, but C++ not C) Ha...
I have a project that has a makefile with broken dependencies. Is there any best known way to generate a list of dependencies for the project that I can use in the makefile, other than examining each source file by hand or with a hand written perl script? ...
What is the simplest way to read a full line in a C console program The text entered might have a variable length and we can't make any assumption about its content. ...
When obtaining the DPI for the screen under Windows (by using ::GetDeviceCaps) will the horizontal value always be the same as the vertical? For example: HDC dc = ::GetDC(NULL); const int xDPI = ::GetDeviceCaps(dc, LOGPIXELSX); const int yDPI - ::GetDeviceCaps(dc, LOGPIXELSY); assert(xDPI == yDPI); ::ReleaseDC(NULL, dc); Are these va...
I am thinking it is a best practice to declare them as static, as it makes them invisible outside of the module. What are your thoughts on this? ...
I'm reading through K&R and came to the small section on register variables, and was wondering if people here have some good examples of this put into practice. From section 4.7 in K&R: The register declaration looks like register int x; register char c; To be clear, I'm just hoping to see some cool code samples. I ...
What is the best way to construct a bit mask in C with m set bits preceded by k unset bits, and followed by n unset bits: 00..0 11..1 00..0 k m n For example, k=1, m=4, n=3 would result in the bit mask: 01111000 ...
Say we have normal distribution n(x): mean=0 and \int_{-a}^{a} n(x) = P. What is the easiest way to compute standard deviation of such distribution? May be there are standard libraries for python or C, that are suitable for that task? ...
I have written a parser in boost:spirit and now I wish to write the same stuff in antlr 3.1.1 to see if there are any performance gains or if it might be a better way to go about it as it also exports to many other languages besides c++ (The current 3.x branch actually does not export to c++). 3.1.1 is built using 2.7.x yet, it supports...
I've a string like "1234567890". Now I need to store/print out this with the following format, 123-456-7890 What is the best method to implement this in C? Thanks for comments/answers. ...
The iPhone SDK docs claim fopen() is a supported method of file access but I am unable to get it to return a FILE handle. I am accessing a directory which is included in my project. I have tried fopen "filename","dir/filename","./filename","./dir/filename","/dir/filename" all returning with a null pointer. Some people report using it ...
I am asking this question from an educational/hacking point of view, (I wouldn't really want to code like this). Is it possible to implement a while loop only using C preprocessor directives. I understand that macros cannot be expanded recursively, so how would this be accomplished? Thanks ...
