At the team with which I work, we have an old codebase using PHP's ibase_* functions all over the code to communicate with database. We created a wrapper to it that would do something else beside just calling the original function and I did a mass search-replace in the entire code to make sure that wrapper is used instead. Now, how do w...
Today I discovered you can make less act like tail -f. less filename, then press Shift-F to start follow mode. Just like tail, but you have all the added features of less - like scrolling, searching, and the highlighting of search hits. I've been watching log files with tail for years. This just made me ponder: are there other comm...

If not,...
I'm temporarily using gcc 2.95.2, and instead of having a sstream header, it defines a (slightly different, and deprecated) strstream. I'm currently getting around this with #if __GNUC__ < 3 // or whatever version number it changes #include <strstream> #else #include <sstream> #endif and then things like: #if __GNUC__ < 3 s...

Since PHP's call_user_method and call_user_method_array are marked deprecated I'm wondering what alternative is recommended? One way would be to use call_user_func, because by giving an array with an object and a method name as the first argument does the same like the deprecated functions. Since this function is not marked deprecated I...
I'm porting some code to Windows, and the Microsoft compiler (Visual C++ 8) is telling me that strerror() is unsafe. Putting aside the annoyance factor in all the safe string stuff from Microsoft, I can actually see that some of the deprecated functions are dangerous. But I can't understand what could be wrong with strerror(). It takes ...
In the mold of a previous question I asked about the so-called safe library deprecations, I find myself similarly bemused as to why fopen() should be deprecated. The function takes two C strings, and returns a FILE* ptr, or NULL on failure. Where are the thread-safety problems / string overrun problems? Or is it something else? Thanks ...
When dealing with any framework with which you are not 100% familiar, I've found it advisable to attempt to understand and clean up any extraneous warnings, if only so that you have a better chance of noticing real errors when they occur. The one I've been getting lately has been: DEPRECATION WARNING: @model will not longer be implici...
