There are different kind of macros in C language, nested macro is one of them. Considering a program with the following macro #define HYPE(x,y) (SQUR(x)+SQUR(y)) #define SQUR(x) (x*x) Using this we can successfully compile to get the result. As we all know the C preprocessor replaces all the occurrence of the identifiers with the...
I couldn't find any clock drift RNG code for Windows anywhere so I attempted to implement it myself. I haven't run the numbers through ent or DIEHARD yet, and I'm just wondering if this is even remotely correct... void QueryRDTSC(__int64* tick) { __asm { xor eax, eax cpuid rdtsc mov edi, dword ptr tick mov dword ptr [edi], ea...
Is there a portable C library to access .zip archives? "gzip" or "zlib" (the closest I could find) only handle compressed data, I need to be able to list the files inside the archive, and access each one individually, and if they're compressed using the 'deflate' method, I can use zlib on it. ...
I'm developing an interpreter and I have some questions to it. I recently saw a small C interpreter that used a very simple struct like the below for all its objects/values in the language: struct Object { ubyte type; ubyte value; }; This struct can hold strings, integers, bools and lists (I think) used in the language the in...
I want to take a string from stdin but I don't want a static array of fixed size I know that scanf need something where save the stdin input, but I can't do something like this: char string[10] scanf("%s",string); becouse I need to know before how long will be the string in order to allocate the right memory space. Can you help me t...
For example, #include <stdio.h> int main (int argc, const char * argv[]) { char out = printf("teststring"); printf("%d\n", out); return 0; } will return teststring10. Anyone has an idea how to get rid of the 10? Thanks in advance. ...
My file contains a series of numbers (integer, float, integer, float ....), each written on a separate line. The numbers of columns are different from one line to another i.e. 1 2.45 3 1.75 5 3.45 7 2.55 9 3.25 6 1.75 4 3.55 6 2.55 9 2.45 The program should read the contents of the entire file and place the data into an array of type...
When you create a menu bar, a funny line appears underneath (for XP and Win7 at least). How can I get rid of this line? I know that some applications, such as Firefox and Thunderbird, have done so. Here's an illustration: I am programming in C, using the Windows API. My menu is loaded from a resource file. ...
Possible Duplicate: Could anyone explain these undefined behaviors (i = i++ + ++i , i = i++, etc) main() { int a=5; a= a++ + ++a + ++a + a++ + a++; printf("%d",a); } ...
Yesterday I was thinking about whether it would be possible to use the convenience of C++0x lambda functions to write callbacks for Windows API functions. For example, what if I wanted to use a lambda as an EnumChildProc with EnumChildWindows? Something like: EnumChildWindows(hTrayWnd, CALLBACK [](HWND hWnd, LPARAM lParam) { //...
use pthread_create to create limited number of threads running concurrently Successfully compile and run However, after adding function pointer array to run the function, Segmentation fault Where is wrong? workserver number: 0 Segmentation fault void* workserver(void *arg) { int status; while(true) { printf("workserver number: %d...
I want to make a simple program, that fork, and the child writes into the named pipe and the parent reads and displays from the named pipe. The problem is that it enters the parent, does the first printf and then it gets weird, it doesn't do anything else, does not get to the second printf, it just ways for input in the console. #includ...
i am using sleep function in ansi-c that gives a resolution up-to milliseconds but not exactly i faced uncertain delays, people suggest me to use windows media timer, i want to know the comparison between both is they enough reliable to use in real time system or to use some thing else, thanx in Advance. ...
I hear that C isn't so type-safe and I think that I could use that as an advantage for my current project. I'm designing an interpreter with the goal for the VM to be extremely fast, much faster than Ruby and Python, for example. Now I know that premature optimization "is the root of all evil" but this is rather a conceptual problem. ...
What design pattern might apply to logging? What is normally used in this type of situation? Any good tutorials? I am writing a client-server application using C89 and gcc 4.4.4. I now need to implement some logging feature that will display log messages on the screen as well as log to a file. However, I don't want to display all log ...
I wish c++, was a little more specific on the messages they give. The following error is being thrown in the document below main.h #ifndef main_h #define main_h //includes #include <windows.h> #include <commctrl.h> #include <d3d9.h> #include <fstream> #include "capplication.h" //constants #define TITLE "D3D Tut 01: Creat...
I've been struggling to wrap my head around this for some reason. I have 15 bits that represent a number. The bits must match a pattern. The pattern is defined in the way the bits start out: they are in the most flush-right representation of that pattern. So say the pattern is 1 4 1. The bits will be: 000000010111101 So the genera...
While reading some documentation here, I came across this: unsigned unitFlags = NSYearCalendarUnit | NSMonthCalendarUnit | NSDayCalendarUnit; NSDateComponents *comps = [gregorian components:unitFlags fromDate:date]; I have no idea how this works. I read up on the bitwise operators in C, but I do not understand how you can fit three (...
i have a project for a course, i did almost everything but i have this error i dont know who to solve it... the project about doing our own shell some of them we have to write our code, others we will use the fork method.. this is the code, #include <sys/wait.h> #include <dirent.h> #include <limits.h> #include <errno.h> #include <std...
I am trying to apply a texture onto my 3d cube but it is not showing up correctly. I believe that it might some what be working because the cube is all brown which is almost the same complexion as the texture. And I did not originally make the cube brown. These are the steps I've done to add the texture I first declared 2 new varibles ...
