I have some C structures related to a 'list' data structure. They look like this. struct nmlist_element_s { void *data; struct nmlist_element_s *next; }; typedef struct nmlist_element_s nmlist_element; struct nmlist_s { void (*destructor)(void *data); int (*cmp)(const void *e1, const void *e2); unsigned int size; ...

A friend of mine was asked the following question today at interview for the position of software developer: Given two string s1 and s2 how will you check if s1 is a rotated version of s2 ? Example: If s1 = "stackoverflow" then the following are some of its rotated versions: "tackoverflows" "ackoverflowst" "overflowstack" where as...
This C code is giving me some unpredictable results. The program is meant to collect 6 nos and print out the max, position of the max no and the average. It's supposed to have only 3 functions - input, max_avr_pos and output for doing what the code is supposed to do but I am getting unpredictable results. Please what could be the problem...
I am porting an application to an ARM platform in C, the application also runs on an x86 processor, and must be backward compatible. I am now having some issues with variable alignment. I have read the gcc manual for __attribute__((aligned(4),packed)) I interpret what is being said as the start of the struct is aligned to the 4 byte bo...
Is there a way to figure out where in an array a pointer is? Lets say we have done this: int nNums[10] = {'11','51','23', ... }; // Some random sequence int* pInt = &nNums[4]; // Some index in the sequence. ... pInt++; // Assuming we have lost track of the index by this stage. ... Is there a way to deter...
The man page of epoll_ctl() says about EPOLLPRI: There is urgent data available for read(2) operations. How exactly is "urgent data" defined and who decides which data has priority? ...
Hello, I have a list of numbers which looks like this: 1.234D+1 or 1.234D-02. I want to read the file using C. The function atof will merely ignore the D and translate only the mantissa. The function fscanf will not accept the format '%10.6e' because it expects an E instead of a D in the exponent. When I ran into this problem in Pytho...
Hi, I'm just trying to work out why the following code is leaking memory and I have a funny feeling that i'm not releasing the array memory correctly. This is a C function in a wider objective-c app and I'm not native to C... i've tried just using free() on the array, but have a feeling this isn't the whole story... Could someone have a...
I help with my program. I am required to create a inverted pyramid of stars which rows depends on the number of stars the user keys, but I've done it so it does not give an inverted pyramid, it gives a regular pyramid. #include <stdio.h> #include <conio.h> void printchars(int no_star, char space); int getNo_of_rows(void); int main(void)...
Can somebody explain the main differences between (advantages / disadvantages) the two implementations? For a library, what implementation is recommended? ...
I'm writing a Python wrapper for a C++ library, and I'm getting a really weird when trying to set a struct's field in C. If I have a struct like this: struct Thing { PyOBJECT_HEAD unsigned int val; }; And have two functions like this: static PyObject* Thing_GetBit(Thing* self, PyObject* args) { unsigned int mask; if...
Lets consider we have a double R = 99.999999; (which may be obtained by a result of some other computation),now the desired output is 99.99 I tried using printf("%.2lf",R); but it's rounding off the value.How to get the desired output ? (preferably using printf) ...
SQLite claim to have 679 times more test code than production one. http://www.sqlite.org/testing.html Does anyone knows how it is possible? Do they generate any test code automatically? What are the major parts of these "45678.3 KSLOC" of test code? ...
I have a text file which contains words separated by space. I want to take each word from the file and store it. So i have opened the file but am unsure how to assign the word to a char. FILE *fp; fp = fopen("file.txt", "r"); //then i want char one = the first word in the file char two = the second word in the file ...
Hi guys, I am trying to program the stm32 to talk to my i2c EEprom, but it seems like everytime I say: I2C_GenerateSTART(I2C1, ENABLE); while( !(I2C_CheckEvent(I2C1, I2C_EVENT_MASTER_MODE_SELECT)) ); the code hangs here I went through with the debugger and I found that the SR1 bit 0 flag (which is the start bit generated flag) is no...
I want to insert some C/C++ source code into a Microsoft Word document. I have no problem in copying the code from source file and pasting into Word. I can do fixed-width. But, in Word, I see the code in black-and-white format; I loose the syntax highlighting as I get in the source code editor (for me, gvim). So, my question is, is there...
