What exactly is the GNU tar ././@LongLink "trick"?
I read that a tar entry type of 'L' (76) is used by gnu tar and gnu-compliant tar utilities to indicate that the next entry in the archive has a "long" name. In this case the header block with the entry type of 'L' usually encodes the name ././@LongLink . My question is: where is the format of the next block described? The format o...

Scope of C libraries in C++ - <X.h> vs <cX>
The C++ Programming Language : Special Edition states on page 431 that... For every header < X.h > defining part of the C standard library in the global namespace and also in namespace std, there is a header < cX > defining the same names in the std namespace only. However, when I use C headers in the < cX > style, I don't need to qual...
What are good heuristics for inlining functions?
Considering that you're trying solely to optimize for speed, what are good heuristics for deciding whether to inline a function or not? Obviously code size should be important, but are there any other factors typically used when (say) gcc or icc is determining whether to inline a function call? Has there been any significant academic wor...
GNU Public License version 2 with Classpath Exception?
I noticed this today, and I searched for it on Google, but I can't seem to find the GNU Public License Version 2 with Classpath Exception. Is it a new license? What does it cover? Edit: I was originally kidding (and hadn't really Googled) because I thought this was a Netbeans error, but I see that the joke is on me: it's an exception ...
How does GNU GPL Version 3 license work for CSS/Design?
I have downloaded a WordPress Theme that has a GNU licence. I need to modify it quite a bit to make it compatible with my site. How does the licensing work on this?

nHibernate/GNU question
Hi, I'm a little bit confused by the nHibernate's GNU model. The question is simple, if I build an application using nHibernate's ORM features, am I allowed to later sell this application (company's intellectual property) or it automatically becomes open source system and falls under GNU open source model ? I did some reading about GNU b...
Regex for string using GNU C regex library
Hello, I am writing a regex to use with the GNU C regex library: The string is of the form: (text in italics is a description of content) (NOT a #) start (maybe whitespace) : data I have written the following code, but it won't match. regcomp(&start_state, "^[^#][ \\t]*\\(start\\)[ \\t]*[:].*$", REG_EXTENDED); What do I need t...
How can I easily install arm-elf-gcc on OS X?
Please let me know if this should be on Server Fault... I've got some code I want to compile which requires arm-elf-gcc. I'm not an embedded programmer, so all this is new to me.

Change stack size for a C++ application in Linux during compilation with GNU compiler
Hi, probably this is a stupid question, but I am desperate now and can not finf the answer. In OSX during C++ program compilation with G++ I use LD_FLAGS= -Wl,-stack_size,0x100000000 but in suse linux I get constantly erros like: x86_64-suse-linux/bin/ld: unrecognized option '--stack' and similar. I know that some options to cop...

Hi, reading information about how to increase stack size for a c++ application compiled with gnu, at compilation time, I understood that it can be done with setrlimit at the beginning of the program. Nevertheless I could not find any successful example on how to use it and in which part of the program apply it in order to get a 64M stac...

Variations of sed between OSX and GNU/Linux
Hi all- I've got a makefile (developed for gmake on Linux) that I'm attempting to port to OSX, but it seems like sed doesn't want to cooperate. What I do is use GCC to autogenerate dependency files, and then tweak them a bit using sed. The relevant portion of the makefile: $(OBJ_DIR)/%.d: $(SRC_DIR)/%.cpp $(CPPC) -MM -MD $< -o $@ ...
