Is there a way to make doxygen process undocumented C code automatically?
Usually it will ignore C files that are not documented, but I'd like to test the Callgraph feature for example, do you know a way around this without changing the C files? ...

How to copy or duplicate gtk widgets?
How to copy or duplicate gtk widgets? In my application I have one huge GtkComboBox created with one long for loop which eats up so much of time and I am using this combo at two places in one single screen. So, what I want to do is create this combo for one time and duplicate/copy it in another one so it will save my time. If I try to ...
problems with Console.SetOut in Release Mode?
i have a bunch of Console.WriteLines in my code that I can observe at runtime. I communicate with a native library that I also wrote. I'd like to stick some printf's in the native library and observe them too. I don't see them at runtime however. I've created a convoluted hello world app to demonstrate my problem. When the app runs, I...
Memory allocation for a matrix in C
Why is the following code resulting in Segmentation fault? (I'm trying to create two matrices of the same size, one with static and the other with dynamic allocation) #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> //Segmentation fault! int main(){ #define X 5000 #define Y 6000 int i; int a[X][Y]; int** b = (int**) malloc(...
Error using CreateFileMapping - C
Hello, I am using the tutorial on this MSDN link to implement a way of transferring data from one process to another. Although I was advised in an earlier question to use the Pipe methods, due to certain constraints I have no choice but to use the CreateFileMapping method. Now, i've succesfully managed to make two seperate window form ...
Performance of fopen vs stat
Hello, I'm writing several C programs for an embedded system where every bit of performance we can squeeze out will matter. Part of that is accessing log files. When determining if a file exists, is there any performance difference between using open / fopen, and stat ? I've been using stat on the assumption that it only has to do a q...
Suggestions of the easiest algorithms for some Graph operations
Hi, The deadline for this project is closing in very quickly and I don't have much time to deal with what it's left. So, instead of looking for the best (and probably more complicated/time consuming) algorithms, I'm looking for the easiest algorithms to implement a few operations on a Graph structure. The operations I'll need to do is ...
C/C++ library for seekable movie format
I'm doing some processing on some very large video files (often up to 16MP), and I need a way to store these videos in a format that allows seeking to specific frames (rather than to times, like ffmpeg). I was planning on just rolling my own format that concatenates all of the individually zlib compressed frames together, and then append...
Help with simple linux shell implementation
I am implementing a simple version of a linux shell in c. I have succesfully written the parser, but I am having some trouble forking out the child process. However, I think the problem is due to arrays, pointers and such, because just started C with this project and am not still very knowledgable with them. I am getting a segmentation...
Why does the Win32-API have so many custom types?
I'm new to the Win32 API and the many new types begin to confuse me. Some functions take 1-2 ints and 3 UINTS as arguments. Why can't they just use ints? What are UINTS? Then, there are those other types: DWORD LPCWSTR LPBOOL Again, I think the "primitive" C types would be enough - why introduce 100 new types? This one was a...
Redirecting stdout to a file in C through code
Hi, I am having the output in stdout. how to redirect that to a new file through code ? While we run the program we can redirect like ./sample > test.txt. how to make this happen when executing the sample program itself ? (C programming) Thanks, Vinod. ...
Choose interpreter TCL C API
I have a couple tcl interpreters on my system and i'd like to pick which one the C API for tcl uses. Is there a way to do this? Thanks! ...
How do you control what your C compiler Optimizes?
I am writing the firmware for an embedded device in C using the Silicon Labs IDE and the SDCC compiler. The device architecture is based on the 8051 family. The function in question is shown below. The function is used to set the ports on my MCU to drive a stepper motor. It gets called in by an interrupt handler. The big switch statemen...
How to obtain argument not preceded by '-' or '--'
Hi guys, i have a program that needs command line arguments in the form : ./my_program -m256M -tm -t some_other_file The "some_other_file" argument is not bound to -t (-t it's just another functionality) so i can't take it as the optarg of any of the flags, neither can i assume it is the last argument in the list. How can i do this? ...
Multi-Thread Programming
Is there a function call that can associate with a specific thread to make the thread run or wait? I have 4 threads in my program and I am trying to figure out a way to tell any one of the threads to wait or run when I want them to. ...
what's bad about shifting a 32-bit variable 32 bits?
Hey, recently I picked up a copy of Applied Cryptography by Bruce Schneier and it's been a good read. I now understand how several algorithms outlined in the book work, and I'd like to start implementing a few of them in C. One thing that many of the algorithms have in common is dividing an x-bit key, into several smaller y-bit keys. ...
what to do with a flawed C++ skills test
In the following gcc.gnu.org post, Nathan Myers says that a C++ skills test at SANS Consulting Services contained three errors in nine questions: Looking around, one of fthe first on-line C++ skills tests I ran across was: http://www.geekinterview.com/question_details/13090 I looked at question 1... find(int x,int y) { return ((x<y)?0...
Question on passing a pointer to a structure in C to a function?
Below, I wrote a primitive singly linked list in C. Function "addEditNode" MUST receive a pointer by value, which, I am guessing, means we can edit the data of the pointer but can not point it to something else. If I allocate memory using malloc in "addEditNode", when the function returns, can I see the contents of first->next ? Second ...
"blkclr (mach_kernel)" shows up in mac's shark profiler. What does it do?
I am profiling a C program using Mac's Shark which shows that some of CPU time goes to "blkclr" in "mach_kernel". What does this kernel function do? I speculate it is related to memory allocation, but I am not sure. I have googled for some time, but could not find the answer, either. Does someone know this? Thanks in advance. ...
