Working with foreign symbols in python

I'm parsing a JSON feed in Python and it contains this character, causing it not to validate. Is there a way to handle these symbols? Can they be converted or is they're a tidy way to remove them? I don't even know what this symbol is called or what causes them, otherwise I would research it myself. EDIT: Stackover Flow is strippin...

Where should I look to solve a symbol lookup/undefined symbol with an automake/autoconf project?

In one project, I have two noinst_PROGRAM's defined. One of them works just fine, but the other is giving me the following message: /home/altern8/workspaces/4355/libgdata/test/.libs/lt-gdatacalendar: symbol lookup error: /home/altern8/workspaces/4355/libgdata/test/.libs/lt-gdatacalendar: undefined symbol: _ZN5gdata7service7Se...

If Ascii operators are definable, why not Unicode Symbols?

I'm sure I join many in being glad there's finally a powerful language tied tightly to a mainstream GUI/Database/Communication framework. I haven't been sure where to post this, but here seems the best spot. I need to use Unicode symbol characters either as operators or as function names. I'd like syntactic sugar, but I don't need i...

What is Symbol Resolution?

This seems to be one of those things that every talks about but no one defines...I can't seem to find any information on this topic. What is symbol resolution?

Ruby symbol to class

Is there a way in Ruby to take a symbol or string and turn it into a class of the same name? For instance, if I have a class such as class Bob def talk puts "Hi, I'm bob" end end And a method I have somewhere else in the code is passed a symbol :bob, can I in some way turn that into the class Bob? Maybe something like b = ...

reconstructing symbols stripped from Mach-O binary

Using Mac OS X 10.5 I'm trying to figure out how to use dtrace to track the execution of a Mach-O binary. However, it seems the symbols have all be stripped out so any attempts to put use probes based on internal class/method names fail. I was able to use class-dump to dump the classes, method names and the address they are implemented...

Practical examples of using symbols in Scala?

Scala has symbols - names that start with a single quote ' and which are a kind of string constants. I know symbols from Ruby (where they start with a colon). In Ruby they are used for some meta-programming tasks, like generating getters and setters for member variables (for example attr_reader :name to generate a getter for name). I h...

publishing your own Symbol site for WinDbg

This is an interesting challenge and I am not sure if anyone out there has undertaken it. I work for a software vendor, selling a large enteprise scale Microsoft.NET based software. Most of the production issues are triaged using DebugDiag or ADPlus dmp files. Our customers often ask us if we could publish our symbols public like Microso...

I have the following components: Assembly A (C++/CLI) | uses Assembly B (C++/CLI) | uses Static Lib C (Native C++) I did a major re-write of Static Lib C, and it compiles, and other native projects that use it compile fine as well. None of Assembly B changed in t...

Symbols, in Microsoft Debugging Tools for Windows?

Can anyone explain the need/use of 'symbols' in the Microsoft debugger? I spent some time trying to figure out the debugger a while back and never was able to get it making any sense ( I was trying to debug a server hang).. Part of my problem was not having the proper 'symbols'. So what are they.. and why would I need them.. Aren't I j...

Good WYSIWYG Math Expression Builder or WYSIWYG Plug in?

Anyone know of a good Math Expression builder for an online WYSIWIG. Ideally the user would be able to easily create common math symbols/notations like summation, integrals, radicals, etc... online, ideally in an existing editor. I also need to be able host it (and ideally integrate it) in a .NET stack (IIS/Windows). Thanks in advance!...

windbg missing symbols for managed code

I am having a problem getting windbg to use the pdb files for my .Net dlls. the hang dump I am looking at is from a production build. but I have pdbs from a debug build of the same code. I set the symbol path to include a local folder and the msft symbol server. C:\websymbols\foo;srv*c:\websymbols*http://msdl.microsoft.com/download/sym...

SymAddSourceStream questions

Did I get it right that SymAddSourceStream function is an equivalent of pdbstr.exe command line tool that comes with MS Source Server? I wrote a test that does SymInitialize/SymLoadModule64/ SymAddSourceStream/SymUnloadModule64/SymCleanup calls sequence and it works without errors, however the target pdb file remains unchanged. Does an...

How can I get the correct symbols for microsoft's dlls\assemblies if I don't have an internet connection?

I can't connect the computer to the internet because of security reasons. therefore, I can't use the symbol server. I've installed the symbols pack for windows xp sp2 but some of the PDB's do not match the dlls installed on my machine (I guess it's because of some specific updates that were installed on my machine). as it seems, the onl...

Why does compiling a shared object with GCC always result in undefined references to main?

I'm running Solaris, so it's possible that this is specific to running GCC on Solaris. If I use GCC to generate a shared object, and then run nm on it to see undefined symbols, there will always be a reference to main: [624] | 0| 0|NOTY |GLOB |0 |UNDEF |main If I manually generate the same shared object using ld,...

Windbg - Detecting symbols needed for a crash dump

Hello, I have a crash dump file that I need to analyze using windbg to run some tests. Due to some restrictions I can't comment, my symbols folder can only contain the symbols needed to analyze this crash dump. Is there a way to know the exact symbols needed by a dump? If it helps, I can first analyze this dump in another environmen...

Symbols or Case Classes for sending messages to Scala Actors?

In the Scala actor examples I have seen where a parameterless message is sent to an actor (such as this), case classes (or case objects) have been created and then used as messages. Symbols work just as well and look a bit neater and, after reading a book on Erlang, seem more natural. I assume that symbol equality would work for remote a...
