I have several C scripts that will all have the same format(functions), but occasionally the actual code within a few functions. I am trying to separate a function into an external header file, but the issue is this: int FunctionImExtracting() { //some code FunctionThatCannotBeExtractedButTheFunctionSignatureWillAlwaysRemainThe...
What could be the issue here? It doesn't matter what number I choose for str, it is always 26815615859885194199148049996411692254958731641184786755447122887443528060147093953603748596333806855380063716372972101707507765623893139892867298012168192.00 char *str = "2.6"; printf("%f\n", strtof(str, (char**)NULL)); //prints 26815615859885194...
When I run this code: #include <stdio.h> typedef struct _Food { char name [128]; } Food; int main (int argc, char **argv) { Food *food; food = (Food*) malloc (sizeof (Food)); snprintf (food->name, 128, "%s", "Corn"); free (food); printf ("%d\n", sizeof *food); printf ("%s\n", food->name); } I still get 128 Corn...
up to this point, i had not found a solution that would work well to extract text from a pdf in objective c for use on the iphone. i found some standard c code and modified it to work, and thought i would provide it here, as up to this point i have used stackoverflow quite a bit but never gave back. you can get it here: http://dl.dropbox...
I use a population count (hamming weight) function intensively in a windows c application and have to optimize it as much as possible in order to boost performance. More than half the cases where I use the function I only need to know the value to a maximum of 15. The software will run on a wide range of processors, both old and new. I a...
I understand the purpose of the NULL constant in C/C++, and I understand that it needs to be represented some way internally. My question is: Is there some fundamental reason why the 0-address would be an invalid memory-location for an object in C/C++? Or are we in theory "wasting" one byte of memory due to this reservation? ...
Hello ladies and gents, I'm having a bit of problem with accept(). I have a multiple clients and one server. The clients can connect and communicate just fine with server. But at one point, I need some clients to be directly connected to each other and I'm having a bit of difficulty there. The clients have bunch of threads going on, wher...
1- How does this work: char *ptr = "hi"; Now the compiler will put this string in the memory (I'm guessing the stack), and create a pointer to it? Is this is how it works? 2- Also if it is created locally in a function, when the function returns will the memory occupied by the string be freed? 3- Last but not least, why is this not ...
I'm trying to implement a simple FTP server (a variation of the EFTP protocol) in linux. When a client connects and sends the PASV command, the server should respond with a port number, so the client can connect to that port to transmit the file. How can the server choose a port number? Do I need to iterate through all the ports from 102...
in c or c++ the function comlen is defined such int comlen(char *p,char *q){ int i=0; while *p && (*p++==*q++) i++; return i; } Is this code equivalent of this function? int comlen(String s,String m){ int i=0; while (i<s.length() && s.charAt(i)==m.charAt(i)){ i++; } return i; } ...
I have a server side C based CGI code as: cgiFormFileSize("UPDATEFILE", &size); //UPDATEFILE = file being uploaded cgiFormFileName("UPDATEFILE", file_name, 1024); cgiFormFileContentType("UPDATEFILE", mime_type, 1024); buffer = malloc(sizeof(char) * size); if (cgiFormFileOpen("UPDATEFILE", &file) != cgiFormSuccess) { exit(1); } ou...
How do you identify missing UDP frames in a custom Wireshark dissector? I have written a custom dissector for the CQS feed (reference page). One of our servers gaps when receiving this feed. According to Wireshark, some UDP frames are never received. I know that the frames were sent because all of our other servers are gap-free. A C...
Hi, I would like to construct a hash table that looks up keys in sequences (strings) of bytes ranging from 1 to 15 bytes. I would like to store an integer value, so I imagine an array for hashing would suffice. I'm having difficulty conceptualizing how to construct a hash function such that given the key would give an index into the ar...
Hi there, Can someone please explain what really goes on in this code ? If I put the AND statement, the message wont show if values are less than 0 or greater than 10 ... I think I must use 1 0 logic to work this out right ? I just need someone to briefly explain it please. #include<stdio.h> main(){ puts("enter number"); scanf("%...
Is it possible to write in C programming language everything that you could write in other languages such as Java, C# or C++. If that's the case why don't schools these days teach C instead of Java? Ok the main reason why I am asking is because I don't want to tie down to a single programming language and platform (.NET and C# or Obj-C ...
I wanted to know how i can parse an IPv6 address in 'C' and convert it to a 128 bit value? So a hex address like 1:22:333:aaaa:b:c:d:e:f needs to be converted to its 128 bit equivalent binary. The problem is the IP address could be of the type ::2 and its variant since they are valid IPv6 address. The input is from the keyboard and henc...
I've always used clock() to measure how much time my application took from start to finish, as; int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { const clock_t START = clock(); // ... const double T_ELAPSED = (double)(clock() - START) / CLOCKS_PER_SEC; } Since I've started using POSIX threads this seem to fail. It looks like clock() increas...
i am working on C source to translate to delphi but i was stuck on reading files on ftell() function, can you help me find the equivalent function in delphi? ...
I am trying to do some research on file formats especially image formats. Information such as header layouts for particular types of image formats and how to parse them using C++. If anyone can point me in the right direction of some good tutorials or books. that would be helpful. thanks [edit] If there are any resources on the general ...
