On every project I've worked on, I have one or more tactical build tools. They do verification or checksumming or some specific build-time task. Often these tools are project-specific and written in the project's implementation language. Q1. Do you have such tools? Is this a project-smell that I have these tools? Q2. Where does t...

Well, I give up. I've been messing around with all I could think of to retrieve data from a target website that has information in traditional Chinese encoding (charset=GB2312). I've been using the simple_html_parser like always but it doesn't seem to return the Chinese characters, in fact all I get are some weird question marks embedde...
I've started checking out the source code for PHP. I have just started trying to learn C, and since I have a good working knowledge of PHP, would dissecting typical functions I use daily be of great benefit? Or is this likely to be too in-depth for a C beginner? Also, where are most of the functions defined in that source I linked to a...
In SQLite source code comments I see identificators like F17025, U17032, etc. sqlite3.c: ** The sqlite3_mutex_enter() and sqlite3_mutex_try() routines attempt ** to enter a mutex. {F17024} If another thread is already within the mutex, ** sqlite3_mutex_enter() will block and sqlite3_mutex_try() will return ** SQLITE_BUSY. {F17025} Th...
I am developing a Python App Engine app, where I want to split the content of a source code file Models.py into separate files for each model, but I want to put it all in a folder called Models. The problem is that when I do that, my app can't find the classes anymore. What should I do? This question is not about MVC but another questio...
Arrays are implemented as objects in java right? If so, where could I look at the source code for the array class. I am wondering if the length variable in arrays is defined as a constant and if so why it isn't in all capital letters LENGTH to make the code more understandable. EDIT: http://java.sun.com/docs/books/jls/second_edition/htm...
We have a CMS system that we're currently taking the admin back end and converting to Silverlight 3 or possibly 4 by the time we go to production. We wrote a custom JS / DHTML editor to suit our needs, and will need to do the same now in Silverlight. Has anyone seen any clues to a base functionality that we could build upon for our own ...

I am posting a code. using System; using System.Runtime.InteropServices; class TestPointer { public static void Main(string[] args) { if (args.Length == 0) { unsafe { int t = 8; int* p = &t; IntPtr addr = (IntPtr)p; ...
I'm preparing some documentation and need to format my source code with line breaks that need to appear in column 70 throughout the file. The text editors I have only seem to have features to word wrap the source at this column. I'm wondering whether I need to do this manually since - because of the varying length of the last word at t...
Ok I am not sure if this has ever been asked since it seems like a complicated/contextual type question. If a development team works with several source branches from one main branch (root/trunk etc), would you always just want to make changes on your particular branch and then merge to (root/trunk etc) when the change has passed QA? I...
I need a tool for reformatting (indenting, long line split) of xquery scripts. My script started very small but now is almost 4000 lines long and quite messy and needs refactoring. Can someone help? ...
Hi, I was reading the STL source code (which turned out to be both fun and very useful), and I came across this kind of thing //file backwards/auto_ptr.h, but also found on many others. template<typename _Tp> class auto_ptr //Questio...
I have a need to code from two computers during the week. What is the best way to sync the two computers (mac)? I've started using source control, like SVN. It works pretty good, except sometimes I check in code that I want to sync but they don't compile and it interferes with other people on the team working on the same project. I don...
Hi, Wanted to know what are the steps involved in getting ones code licensed. Working on a freelancing PHP application and want to prevent the client from making any modications in the source code. Any suggestions about which licensing will be the best is appreciated. EDIT : In order to get my code licensed I just have to pick up any o...
Hi again :) I developed some java program to calculate cosine similarity on the basis of TF*IDF. It worked very well. But there is one problem.... :( for example: If I have following two matrix and I want to calculate cosine similarity it does not work as rows are not same in length doc 1 1 2 3 4 5 6 doc 2 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 5 2 4 9 if...
I have a C# project with a large collection of cut-and paste cloned code. I have implemented a method that covers 90% of the usages (about 300 instances), but manually converting them by hand will probably introduce more errors than it fixes. Are there any (preferably free) tools that are designed to help with this? Basically the Code l...
Hello everybody. My question regards the existence of a search algorithm for searching source code. In my project, I will have to implement an application that will search through a repository of source code (through a lot of source code files). All the files are from previous projects done within the company. We think that implementing...
