Can anyone give me complete example program how to work with GNU regex functions in gcc C or C++ (http://docs.freebsd.org/info/regex/regex.info.GNU_Regex_Functions.html), with re_pattern_buffer, re_compile_fastmap? For example, translate this small Python program: import re unlucky = re.compile('1\d*?3') nums = ("13", "31", "777", "1...
Large complex make files can be daunting to read and examine. What tools are good for visualizing or otherwise examining a gnu make file? ...
I have an ARM assembly code that compiles well with Visual Studio. I would like to now use the same ARM assembly code and compile it with GNU Assembler. As you know the syntax of both assemblers are different. I was wondering if there is any tool that can convert from these Assembly syntaxes. ...
I'm new to the NDK. (using Windows) I have downloaded cygwin and the NDK. I have unzipped the NDK in C:\ When I run cygwin I change to the NDK directory and I run the command build/host-setup.sh But I get Error: could not find a valid GNU Make executable.

I'm compiling a database library with pro*C which converts the .ppc library file to a .c file that gcc can use. However, I'm getting a lot of errors in pro*C like the following PCC-S-02201, Encountered the symbol "__ attribute__ " when expecting one of the following ... , Encountered the symbol "__builtin_va_list" wh...
I would like to port a few applications that I use on Linux to Windows. In particular I have been working on wdiff. A program that compares the differences word by word of two files. Currently I have been able to successfully compile the program on windows through Cygwin. However, I would like to run the program natively on Windows simi...
In this question, I was made aware of glob()'s GLOB_BRACE option that allows for a limited set of regular expressions when searching for files. This looks just like what I need, but according to the manual, GLOB_BRACE is "not available on some Non-GNU Operating systems." Among those seems to be Solaris. I am building an application th...
Hello , I am new to GNU compiler. I have a C source code file which contains some structures and variables in which I need to place certain variables at a particular locations. So, I have written a linker script file and used the __ attribute__("SECTION") at variable declaration, in C source code. I am using a GNU compiler (cygwi...
I keep my source html (and images etc.) in separate directories for source control. Part of making the distro is to have make copy files to output folder and set the attributes. Today my makefile shows (extract): %.html: /usr/bin/install -c -p -m 644 $< $@ www: $(HTMLDST)/firmware.html $(HTMLDST)/firmware_status.html $(HTMLDST)/i...

I've often wondered about this. I'm not looking for legal advice, just casual opinions ;) If some company publishes an API on the web for their closed-source library, would it be legal for another party to release an open-source implementation of that API? Are function declarations considered source code? Take GNU implementing the UNIX...

I'm currently trying to set up a package to be installed with autotools. In most, if not all, major software packages, configure --help lists a large number of options like ./configure --ENABLE-FLOAT, etc. I was wondering where I can define these options. Thanks, Sam ...
I have checked the assembler options of GNU assembler as and I didn't find an option to specify the output object file format. If I am using the following command as -o foobar.o foobar.s What object file format will I get? The as manual says that "The GNU as can be configured to produce several alternative object file formats." But h...
Hey ppl, I came across something weird today, and I was wondering if any of you here could explain what's happening... Here's a sample: #include <iostream> #include <cassert> using namespace std; #define REQUIRE_STRING(s) assert(s != 0) #define REQUIRE_STRING_LEN(s, n) assert(s != 0 || n == 0) class String { public: ...
I'm working with an embedded Linux deployment and am using a cross compiler tool chain that doesn't compile I2C library function calls. How do I determine the precise versions of the libraries on the system so that I may rebuild the tool chain? I don't intend to replace the libraries deployed, as I do know they work (including I2C), s...
Any books you would recommend to learn scripting makefiles? I know gnu.org has manual, but hope there is a book with better explanations and examples. ...
Hi, I'm currently migrating some of my code from Cocoa (Apple's Objective-C API) to C, in order to make it available for other operating systems, such as GNU/Linux. In Cocoa, there were many great things like creating NSTimeZone objects from their string descriptors using timeZoneWithAbbreviation:. This allowed me to use values like "E...
Hi all, Please help I'm trying to build a third party library which uses auto-generated source code files. In normal case, this kind of files is generated by gnu build tools. My question is How can I tell the Android NDK build tools to generate and build this kind of files. Thanks in advance ...
