Java code for converting C program to Control Flow Graph

I require a java code for converting a C program into a control flow graph. Can any one please help me out with it? ...

programming 101, select VS if block

I'm not sure I understand the difference between an if block and switch/select block. I mean I use them all the time. But It's not clear to me when the switch block should be applied and when no to. Since, a select block can be expanded into if block. So the only real advantage I can think of for using the select block is for human read...

Generic callback mechanism overloads success handler as a means for flow control - code smell?

I'm fairly new on a project and ran across an interesting design paradigm for some asynchronous calls we make to the database (variables and function name altered): private void OnLogin(object selectedInitialState, AsyncEventCompletedCallback<EmptyAsyncEventArgs> userCallback, object userState) ...

Searching for a nice way to define rules for decompiler, need advice

Hi, I am working on a very simple decompiler for MIPS architecture and as I progress I have to define lots of rules for code analysis, for example "if this opcode is lui and next opcode is addiu then return var = value" or "if this opcode is bne and it's referring to address before current - create loop definition in parsing tree". The ...

Control flow syntax in c++

With the following c++ example(indention was left out in purpose). if(condA) // if #1 if(condB) // if #2 if(condC) // if #3 if(condD) // if #4 funcA(); else if(condD) // else #1 if #5 funcB(); else if(condE) // else #2 if #6 funcC(); else // else #3 funcD(); else if(condF) //...

how to generate control flow graphs for C code

any libs readily available with gcc compiler? ...

How does ASP.NET HttpServerUtility.Transfer break the control flow?

By "how does" I mean "by what mechanism" not "to what effect". Control doesn't return to the calling method after you call Server.Transfer("...");. At the language runtime level, how does this happen? Does it throw an exception or trigger something that aborts the thread? I'm just curious. What are other examples of this pattern (cal...

Why use a for loop instead of a while loop?

Possible Duplicates: Iterate with for loop or while loop? Loops in C - for() or while() - which is BEST? When should one use a for loop instead of a while loop? I think the following loops are identical, except for their syntax. If so, then why choose one over the other? int i; for (i = 0; i < arr.length; i++) { // do w...

equivalent of Python's "with" in Ruby

In Python, the with statement is used to make sure that clean-up code always gets called, regardless of exceptions being thrown or function calls returning. For example: with open("temp.txt", "w") as f: f.write("hi") raise ValueError("spitespite") Here, the file is closed, even though an exception was raised. A better explanat...

Another SELECT if the first SELECT returned an empty set

This is my table: id id_1 camp 1 0 x1 2 0 x2 3 0 x3 4 1 x4 5 1 x5 6 1 x6 7 3 x7 8 3 x8 9 3 x9 I am in need of a SQL that, if there are no rows with id_1 of "x", it should retur...
