Multiple references in Ruby

I expected the following code to print "8", "111" and "999". I supposed that each a, b, c and d points to the same memory location. If I change the location through one of them, why would the other not to change? Clearly, my logic is poor, or I overlooked something. It prints "7", "7" and "8", instead. Why? a=b=c=d=7 b = 8 ...

Passing references to pointers in C++

As far as I can tell, there's no reason I shouldn't be allowed to pass a reference to a pointer in C++. However, my attempts to do so are failing, and I have no idea why. This is what I'm doing: void myfunc(string*& val) { // Do stuff to the string pointer } // sometime later { // ... string s; myfunc(&s); // ......

How can I sort Perl hashes whose values are array references?

Hey I was just wondering if there is a cool "one liner" that would sort my hash holding array references. So I have a bunch of key/values in my hash something like: $DataBase{$key} = \@value; However I would like to sort the hash by the array[0] element. Then loop through 'em. I had this to begin with: foreach my $key (sort {$DataBa...

Conditional References

Currently our .net code is not processor specific, but it depends on libraries (Oracle/ODP.Net) which are. We've found a solution where we edit the csproj file directly, and put the references in to item groups with a Condition clause based on our selected build configuration. We have 32 bit debug/release and 64bit debug/release, and t...
