My view is that a C implementation cannot satisfy the specification of certain stdio functions (particularly fputc/fgetc) if sizeof(int)==1, since the int needs to be able to hold any possible value of unsigned char or EOF (-1). Is this reasoning correct? (Obviously sizeof(int) cannot be 1 if CHAR_BIT is 8, due to the minimum required r...
(Or possibly another language?) I know both SQL and Object Pascal first appeared in 1986, but I'm not sure which one had the in keyword first, so anyone who can point me to a definitive source will get my thanks and some reputation. Yes I searched for the answer, but I think my Google-fu is weak. :( ...
Hi, I used to initialize my structures in this way: struct A a = {0}; This seems to work for me, however I was argued about ANSI C, C89, C99 standard. Simply I couldn't find that in any documentation. Could you help me with that? Here's an example that this works for 'cl' (VS express 2008). #include <stdio.h> struct DATA { i...
_ #include<stdio.h> int main() { int a=5,b=10; printf("%d %d"); return 0; } ...
Are there any standards similar to WSDL but designed for Java or C/C++? To be clear: I am designing an offline API, not a web service. I am designing a system that allows different components to be plugged in, but for the orchestrator to know how to call it I currently allow the orchestrator to retrieve back a sort of "get features" f...
Lets collect all together standards which are used in software development. I think we should follow this pattern: identification: [e.g.IEEE 123456789] title: [title in words] organisation: [organisation which released the standard] keywords: [e.g. area of the standard] description: [description as text date: [date or year it was relea...
As far as I know there are two ways to get the value from a textbox either document.formName.textboxName.value; or document.getElementbyId('textboxId').value; As I understand using form name would mean I have less code to write, as name can be used for posting data and getting the value (apart from using ajax). As where if I was ju...
In C there're c89 and c99,what about c++? Is there any upgrade since it comes out? ...
I'm looking for a list of criteria for selecting standard development libraries, tools, and application servers (specifically JEE) that is common across large organizations. If your experience doesn't span across multiple large orgs, answering with how this is conducted within your current org is still helpful. Also - 'standard' doesn't ...
Why is it that threads were never included as part of the C++ standard originally? Did they not exist when C++ standard was first created? ...

What do you get in C from casting float +INF,-INF,NAN to integer? Does any standard specifies what should be the output? For example this code: #include <stdio.h> #include <math.h> int main(int argc, char** argv) { float a = INFINITY; float b = -INFINITY; float c = NAN; printf("float %f %f %f\n", a, b, c); printf("int %d %...
Hello there SOers, I cant seem to find any useful information whether constructor delegates that are proposed for C++0x are already available in Visual Studio 2008 / 2010. I tried to use them and got pretty strange errors, but I can't test this in VS2010 currently. Can anyone tell me if they are available already? cheers, Tom ...
My company is currently setting up an online billing portal for our customers. I was curious as this question went back and forth a bit between developers and testers: When showing the input form for the amount a customer wishes to pay, do you set the default to be the max amount owed by the customer? Taking a look around at sites when I...
In the following code is is guaranteed that "0\n" be printed? #include <stdio.h> int main(void) { int c = 0; printf("%d\n",c); printf("%d,%d\n",++c,++c); } More generally, if a program has undefined behavior does the entire program become undefined or only from the sequence point that begins the problematic code? Please...
Hello everyone. I have been trying to understand what ES5 is and what does ES5-compliant really means but without much success. It's also true I didn't spend a lot of time trying to find the answer. Can anyone very briefly explain please? Thank you. ...
In C++ you can easily allocate one dimensional array like this: T *array=new T[N]; And you can delete it with one statement too: delete[] array; The compiler will know the magic how to deallocate the correct number of bytes. But why can't you alloc 2-dimensional arrays like this? T *array=new T[N,M]; Or even like this? T *arra...
Hi I am going through a large website (1600+ pages) to make it pass Priority 1 W3C WAI. As a result, things like image tags need to have alt attributes. What would be the regular expression for finding img tags without alt attributes? If possible, with a wee explanation so I can use to find other issues. I am in an office with Visua...
I am working on a large website (1600+ pages) that needs upgrading to pass standards compliance. As a result, for every OnClick there has to be, say the Standards, an OnKeyPress handler, so that people not using a mouse can still access the content. Some tags have an onclick javascript handler. EG: <a onclick="doSumat();"> Is the f...
