I have a data structure whose operations can be categorized as read operations (e.g. lookup) and write operations (e.g. insertion, removal). These operations should be synchronized so that: Read operations can't execute while a write operation is executing (unless on the same thread), however read operations can be executed concurrentl...
I'm part of a team tasked to revamping our old VB6 UI/COBOL database application to modern times. Before I was hired, the decision was made (largely on sales, I'm sure) to redo the UI before the database. So, now we're using WPF and MVVM to great effect, it's been amazing so far, especially using CSLA as our Model layer. However, beca...
We're writing a client and a server to do (what I thought was) pretty simple network communications. Mulitple clients connect to the server which then is supposed to send the data back to all other clients. The server just sits in a blocking select loop waiting for traffic, and when it comes, sends the data to the other clients. This ...
I have a service that controls an RS-232 device and logs actions to a file. I am to write another service which will read the log file line by line and run some queries on a database then delete all the logs. My concern is about read and write conflicts on the file. For example, the logger service open the file to append a new line at t...

I have a C# .exe application which reads/writes values in HKLM/Software/Company/Etc (It includes a manifest file and runs as standard-user). When I deploy my application I have to tell the installer to create the key H...
I am developing a database-like application that stores a a structure containing: struct Dictionary { char *key; char *value; struct Dictionary *next; }; As you can see, I am using a linked list to store information. But the problem begins when the user exits out of the program. I want the information to be stored somewhe...
Hi, I'm writing an app that will periodically send information out to a remote server, and then get relevant information about other users from that server back to the local database. What's the best way to handle sending out this info (i.e.: XML or binary) and writing it to the remote server. Also, how can I assure that, when 500+ u...
Hi, I am facing performance issues while reading/writing data from/to MS-Excel cells. I am using MS Excel 11.0 object library for automation with VB.NET. Currently it takes too much time to read and write from/to Excel files. (10 mins to read 1000 rows :( ). It seems the cell-by-cell reading and writing approach is not that effiecient....
I tried to use the read/write file descriptor in bash so that I could delete the file that the file descriptor referred to afterward, as such: F=$(mktemp) exec 3<> "$F" rm -f "$F" echo "Hello world" >&3 cat <&3 but the cat command gives no output. I can achieve what I want if I use separate file descriptors for reading and writing: ...
