I've got some analysis code (myprog) that sucks in data using the following: if(5 == fscanf(in, "%s%lf%f%f%f", tag, & sec, & tgt, & s1, & s2)) which works just fine. But in the situation where I've got data files that are separated by commas, I'm currently doing something like: sed 's/,/ /g' data | myprog Can I modify the format...
I was wondering if there is a recommended 'cross' Windows and Linux method for the purpose of converting strings from UTF-16LE to UTF-8? or one should use different methods for each environment? I've managed to google few references to 'iconv' , but for somreason I can't find samples of basic conversions, such as - converting a wchar_t ...
Is there any possibility to achieve different redirections for standard output like printf(3) for different POSIX thread? What about standard input? I have lot of code based on standard input/output and I only can separate this code into different POSIX thread, not process. Linux operation system, C standard library. I know I can refact...
I just have a quick question about the conditional operator. Still a budding programmer here. I am given x = 1, y = 2, and z = 3. I want to know, why after this statement: y += x-- ? z++ : --z; That y is 5. The values after the statement are x = 0, y = 5, and z = 4. I know the way the conditional operator works is that it is formatte...
union { int i; bool b; } x; x.i = 20000; x.b = true; cout << x.i; It prints out 19969. Why does it not print out 20000? ...
I have an include file with 100+ global variables. It's being used in a library, but some programs that I'm linking the lib to also need to access the globals. The way it was built: // In one library .c file #define Extern // In the programs that use the globals #define Extern extern // In the .h file Extern int a,b,c; I had a hard...
Hello, do you know any cross-platform gui toolkit like swt for C (using default widgets in each operating system = right pics on eclipse.org/swt) ? There is an implementation of swt for D language called DWT but I need it for C or C++. Thanks. ...
Having been writing Java code for many years, I was amazed when I saw this C++ statement: int a,b; int c = (a=1, b=a+2, b*3); My question is: Is this a choice of coding style, or does it have a real benefit? (I am looking for a practicle use case) I think the compiler will see it the same as the following: int a=1, b=a+2; int c = b*...
What is wrong with strcpy() in this code? void process_filedata(char *filename) { void* content; const char * buffer; char * temp; char * row; char * col; int lsize,buflen,tmp,num_scan; //num_scan - number of characters scanned int m=0,p=0,d=0,j=0; //m - machine, p - phase, d- delimiter, j - job FILE *file_pointer = fop...
I've been tasked with writing a data collection program for a Unitech HT630, which runs a proprietary DOS operating system that can run executables compiled for 16-bit MS DOS with some restrictions. I'm using the Digital Mars C/C++ compiler, which is working well thus far. One of the application requirements is that the data file must...
I am a beginner in MPI, and i am using C Language, and Simulator for Processors (MPICH2), i wrote the following code to send a 2D array to make 2 processors take a line from it but it produces error when running MPICH2, the code is: #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include "mpi.h" int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { int r...
I want to make an application that can generate point to point gradient (like Photoshop does). I'm familiar with how to generate an up to down gradient but not point to point. How is this conceptually done. Thanks ...
In C/GTK, is there a way to remove the inner-border for a GtkButton that has an image using gtk_button_set_image? gtk_button_set_relief (GTK_BUTTON (button), GTK_RELIEF_NONE); sort of did the job but a mouseover showed that it merely hides it. I would prefer to do this without using an RC style, but if there's no other way, an example ...
I'm getting ready to make a drawing application in Windows. I'm just wondering, do drawing programs have a memory bitmap which they lock, then set each pixel, then blit? I don't understand how Photoshop can move entire layers without lag or flicker without using hardware acceleration. Also in a program like Expression Design, I could hav...
Consider the following code: writer.c mkfifo("/tmp/myfifo", 0660); int fd = open("/tmp/myfifo", O_WRONLY); char *foo, *bar; ... write(fd, foo, strlen(foo)*sizeof(char)); write(fd, bar, strlen(bar)*sizeof(char)); reader.c int fd = open("/tmp/myfifo", O_RDONLY); char buf[100]; read(fd, buf, ??); My question is: Since it's not ...

Hi, Just wondering how if it's possible to execute another program in a thread and send information to/get information from it. Essentially the same concept as with a child process and using pipes to communicate - however I don't want to use fork. I can't seem to find whether it's possible to do this, any help would be appreciated. Th...
