No, I won't gloat, I'm sorry, anon. You can make the next thread if you like.

Is it wasteful to put function pointers to member functions in C structs?
I know C++ abstracts this away with vtables instead of actual pointers to functions, but I was wondering if I could do the same in C?
Should i put a vtable instead?

Use the old one you monkeys >>52400261

If you spent less time trying to beat each other to see who posts the underage anime girl first you'd make /dpt/ better for everyone

>>52404021
A vtable is just a struct of function pointers that gets shared between all instances of the class.

So, what are you working on, /g/?

>>52404076
I'd have the struct itself declared in the header for the "class" and the actual vtable a static variable in the corresponding implementation file. The "constructor" would set the "object"'s vtable pointer to that one.

My home board is /pol/, anon.

Hi guys, please tell me what language should I learn to prog little 2d vidyas ?
I'm already pretty good I think at C, should I stick to it or learn a new language ?

>>52404121
so the vtable would declared like

/* thing.h */

struct _vtable {
    (*func1) (struct thing);
    (*func2) (struct thing);
};         

struct _thing {
    unsigned *data; 
    struct _vtable *vt;
}

struct _vtable _global_thing_vtable {
    &nameoffunc1,
    &nameoffunc2
};

and then for the constructor, I just have it assign a function pointer to this global scope _vtable struct?

>>52404281
C is deprecated. Learn C++

Is having a text column as primary key bad practice in sql?

>>52404296
Not a function pointer to that. Just a pointer.

Though this is all pretty meaningless without subtyping polymorphism.

C++ and opengl

read the opengl superbible

>>52404356
>opengl superbible
but that horrible custom framework they use in that book is so off-putting

>>52404281
I don't see any reason to use C. Use a programming language that makes life easier for you, like Lua.

>>52404356
Is opengl a language ?

>>52404388
i've barely even read a single page tbqh but the setup thing for multiple shaders looked fine and would have saved me like a day of trawling the internet for tidbits of information

>>52404437
The issue I have with it, is that they teach you how to use opengl with their framework, instead of doing a general opengl book that would work with everything as long as you can get a glcontext running.

>>52404424
opengl itself is an API implemented by a set of C functions for interfacing with graphics hardware. GLSL which shaders use is its own language but it's very simple and similar to C.

>>52404424
It's an API for programming your GPU. I guess it could be called a DSL in some sense, since it's quite abstracted away from the details and is more declarative than imperative at heart.

>>52404437
where did you learn then?

>>52404306
Yes.

Whatcha trying to do?

>>52404493
Not him, but I learned through an amalgamation of pretty much everything I could find, and of course a lot of practice.

CHIP-8 opcodes left to implement
>0x00E0 - CLS - clear screen
>0xCxnn - RND - sets register x to nn&(random number)
>0xDxyN - DRW - draws sprite at I at position x,y with N lines drawn
>0xEx9E - SKP - skip next instruction if key at register x is pressed
>0xExA1 - SKNP - skip next instruction if key at register x is not pressed
>0xFx0A - LD - execution stops until key is pressed, then it's stored in register x
>0xFx29 - LD - sets I to the location of the sprite in register x

So pretty much just stuff I need external libraries for (display, random numbers, key presses)

We're all gonna make it lads

Everyone recommends me something different =/
What should I base myself upon to pick a language in particular and not another?

>>52404493
i've learned over time, in the beginning it was from dissecting how libgdx does its rendering and so i had to look up how to use VBOs and such. i don't recommend libgdx though, i would have much preferred to have learned opengl from scratch. you could copy some setup code to get started (glCreateProgram and such) and then fiddle with one thing at a time such as shaders and VBOs with different vertex components.

this thing is useful for fiddling with shaders or at least checking if they compile:

If I remove the UNIQUE constraint, I'm in big trouble. Let's say you have the following commands:

season add <serie name> <season name> ...
season remove <serie name> <season name> ...

Now I'm unable to look up the serie id for the serie name.

>>52404809
It's possible from a technical perspective, but the user won't know which is the right serie.
The name is serie A is weeaboo. It has 2 seasons called 1 and 2.
The name of serie B is weeaboo. It has 2 seasons called 1 and 2.
How would the user know which serie to append to?

the vertex shader takes vertex data and transforms it in a programmable manner. it could take for example xy coordinates and color data.

the fragment shader outputs to individual pixels.

in opengl you have a clip space of -1 to 1 in the x and y directions, and 0 (near) to 1 (far) in the z direction.

for example if you're rendering to a 16:9 surface and you have the game coordinate space at (-8 to +8, -4.5 to 4.5) then in the vertex shader you would divide by 8 in the x axis and by 4.5 in the y axis to make things fit within the clip space.

to rotate you can multiply the coordinated by a rotation matrix. to zoom you can multiply the values (for example multiply by 2 to look at (-4 to +4, -2.25 to 2.25). to move the "camera" you can add numbers to the x and y values to translate the "world" in the x and y directions.

key as name + description
if there is ambiguity then describe each one to the user

>>52404910
OK, but how do I combine transformations? Like what if I want to rotate a triangle around 0,0 and then move it to the center of the screen?

>>52404937
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IrggOvOSZr4

to rotate a triangle you multiply by a rotation matrix. you can have a 2x2 mat2 uniform variable in the shader, calculate { cos(angle), -sin(angle), sin(angle), cos(angle) } on the CPU side, then upload to the GPU with glUniform. then in the vertex shader you would set the position like

gl_Position(u_rotation_matrix * a_coord.xy, 0.0, 1.0);

this would already be centered since the clip space is -1 to 1 in both the x and y axis but to move the triangle you could have a uniform 2d vector like

gl_Position(u_rotation_matrix * a_coord.xy + translation_vector.xy, 0.0, 1.0);

     compress returns Z_OK if success, Z_MEM_ERROR if there was not

I don't seem to be having any memory issues at the time being, but for all the entities to converge is weird.

I think I may have found the issue though, the tables inside the entity table. For some reason those values are the same across all entities while variables just in the entity table itself aren't. Is this something easily fixable?

it supports C#

Hey guys, I have a question. Modern, idiomatic C++11/14 seems pretty neat, but all the platform APIs I've seen are still C-style, so unless you write custom wrappers around every API call, you're still dealing with C-strings and naked pointers and so on.

Is it really better to have half your code in un-idiomatic C++ and then half of it in "proper" C++11/14? Wouldn't one consistent style be easier to maintain and read?

Not who you're replying to, but it should be easy to set up cascading of updates for a name change, and if 2 anime series actually have the same name, he probably wants to assign different names in the DB (differentiated by year, version, etc.) so that they can be told apart.

He's basically thinking of using a natural key over a surrogate key, which is not an inherently bad idea.

A possible disadvantage in this case is increased data storage since he'd have to have the name stored everywhere instead of an int, but that's a minor issue at best.

>>52405890
Honestly I've never done interactive stuff in Haskell (neither TUI nor GUI). For what I can see, out of the few ncurses bindings available, what >>52405938 linked seems to be the nicest ones.

However, this seems a bit hard of a "first" library to learn. I'd try to write some other sofware before like good old command line tools. If you want to move on and have some background in webdev, there are some pretty good frameworks for it (yesod, snap, scotty, servant...).

If you insist in using this ncurses library, look at the example in the documentation: https://john-millikin.com/software/haskell-ncurses/reference/haskell-ncurses/latest/
This sounds like it's close to a raw binding from the C library, so I'd recommend learning the C version first.

Some notes on good practices (it's hard to find this kind of list IMO):
- Try to never use Data.ByteString.Char8: it truncates unicode text to ascii
- Consider Data.ByteString to be an array of bytes, not text
- Prefer Data.Text when manipulating text (avoid String)
- Use Either/ExceptT error handling in simple cases
- Use Control.Monad.Catch for exceptions in IO-heavy code or bigger codebases
- Take advantage of MTL-style composable effects (MonadReader, MonadState, etc). Newtype small components using ReaderT/StateT in newtypes and abstract them in a MonadWhatever-style typeclass.
- Learn a streaming library (i.e. pipes and conduit)

>>52406101
I haven't done any AI with it either. It doesn't seem like a bad idea though, especially considering how much Lisps were used.
Category is just a tool for abstraction in some kinds of libraries. It's like a common language that everybody somewhat understands and can be used to reason more abstractly about your code. It's like a factory of design patterns (done right, without leaky abstractions).

>>52406197
>considering how much Lisps were used
Lisp was used for AI based on an outdated concept of symbol manipulation. They believed the AI would generate code and run it with eval.

>>52406233
Oh, I didn't know. Well, Haskell is pretty good at that too (in fact, it's a great language for writing compilers for many reasons). List/vector/tree manipulation and traversal are some things where it really shines (lenses are pretty handy for this if you like them)

Desperately need help dynamically naming arrays.

I'm creating a tab app in Ruby that keeps track of a customer's tab so they can pay it at the end of the month.

I need to know how to do two things:

1. dynamically create an array. Essentially, have a new user register himself or herself into the app. I.e. if I pass a txt file through my code and it sees the Register command, like this:

Register Pepe

Then I want to be able to create an array named after the string "Pepe".

Second, I want to be able to store purchases (and, I guess, returns) by pushing dollar amounts through into the array so that I may make a total from it. I.e. if I instead get a Purchase command from that txt file:

Purchase Pepe 5 32 4 16

Then I want to be able to add 5, 32, 4 and 16 into Pepe = []

I scoured Stack Exchange with no luck. Please help a sad amateur who fell for the Ruby meme, /dpt/

well Pepe isnt going to be the only customer at this store.

I was also tasked with specifically making sure than some sort of Registration command will register a new shopper.

>>52406986
use OOP

think of it like algebra

x + 2 = 4

it doesn't matter what the name of x is, it could be

t + 2 = 4

the variable name should describe what kind of data it represents. the Pepe name should just be in a separate string with a name like customerName or something

>>52406969
i wasn't talking about notation. at first glance it looks like it could be designed more elegantly and cleaner.

why is it needed that you put a pointer of obj into the validator vt's method if vt is already known in obj? that's not a clear hierarchy. if you can, create a clear hierarchy. maybe obj doesn't need to know its validator?

also, it seems unnecessary that the validate method needs the second parameter. getN is part of the validtor.

maybe you're aiming for flexibility, but often clearness and simplicity is key, especially in large projects.

I'd argue that something like the following should be possible. Maybe too overengineered for your taste, I don't know. However it would have a clearer relationship and hierarchy. namely Validator -> SpecificValidator and Validator -> Obj. Obj wouldn't need to know anything about validation.

for ...
{
 validated[i] = validator->validate(obj[i]);
}

bool Validator::validate(obj* o)
{
 SpecificValidator * v = getSpecificValidator(o);
 return v->validate(o);
}


bool SpecificValidatorA::validate(obj* o)
{
 int n = getN(o);
 //...
 return result;
}

If 0 is Z_OK, that should be fine, meaning your destination buffer has the compressed data in it. But you really should be allocating using compressBound(test.size()), not test.size() directly. And why are you allocating an array of pointers to const chars? You should be allocating using Bytef. And why are you allocating it on the stack anyway? What exactly is the crash you're seeing?

Okay DPT, explain this to me...

I have rustc installed at $HOME/opt/bin, with its respective libraries installed to $HOME/opt/lib (this is on a lab computer at my university, so I cannot install such files globally).

In order to link rustc against its own libraries, I had to add $HOME/opt/lib to my $LD_LIBRARY_PATH in my .bash_profile. Since the value was previously empty (apparently it is never set on Ubuntu), I set it like this:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib:$HOME/opt/lib

After a logout and re-login, the .bash_profile does not export this value, but it does export the $PATH variable that I had set previously. Starting a new instance of bash does not set this variable within that instance of Bash. If I ssh into localhost, however, the export succeeds within the context of that ssh.

So how is it that the PATH export in my .bash_profile is read every time I start a new instance of Bash, but not the LD_LIBRARY_PATH export?

I feel like I'm getting burnt out on software. All of this programming just seems so pointless and none of it really matters. I've spent years hobbying away on various projects and I haven't gotten anywhere as a result. What should I do /dpt/?

~/.bash_profile is only sourced by bash when started in interactive login mode. That is typically only when you login at the console or connecting via ssh.

When you log in graphically, ~/.profile will be specifically sourced by the script that launches gnome-session (or whichever desktop environment you're using). So ~/.bash_profile is not sourced at all when you log in graphically.

When you open a terminal, the terminal starts bash in (non-login) interactive mode, which means it will source ~/.bashrc.

The right place for you to put these environment variables is in ~/.profile, and the effect should be apparent next time you log in.

Sourcing ~/.bash_profile from ~/.bashrc is the wrong solution. It's supposed to be the other way around; ~/.bash_profile should source ~/.bashrc.

I'm working on a project in java. Does anyone know how to limit the number of characters per line that are printed as output to a text file. I have everything figured out but how to limit the number of characters per line to 320. Once that limit is reached, the string needs to end, and pickup where it left off on a new line.

One is an example input file, one is a file with the correctly formatted output, and the other is what my output currently looks like.

i agree that libraries and especially trivial wrapper libraries should be avoided. as for the platform APIs it's up to you but i think it would be fine to have modern C++ mixed in with old-style C stuff specifically for the APIs.

>>52407965
what does all that do?

I rewrote mine to look like this

data Cell  = X | O | Empty Int deriving Eq
data Row   = Row Cell Cell Cell
data Board = Board Row Row Row

instance Show Cell where
  show X         = "X"
  show O         = "O"
  show (Empty i) = show i

instance Show Row where
  show (Row a b c) = show a ++ "|" ++ show b ++ "|" ++ show c

instance Show Board where
  show (Board a b c) = unlines [show a, line, show b, line, show c]
    where line = "-+-+-"

main = print $ Board (Row (Empty 1) (Empty 2) (Empty 3)) (Row (Empty 4) (Empty 5) (Empty 6)) (Row X X O)

>>52407947
I guess not.

>>52407997
That's because c isn't a pointer to a bunch of characters. It's an array of pointers to characters - in other words, it's an array of memory addresses, not text.

Are you trying to cout it inside the function c is declared?

>>52408041
I'm interested to learn as well

>>52407987
I was kinda wondering the same thing.
There's no "self" in C, so you have to pretend using function pointers and feeding the member function with it's own pointer.
As I understand it, C++ does this too, but it abstracts it away from the user during compilation.

>>52405575
Vb. Net

>>52408051
Yeah, I wrote cout << c[0] << endl; immediately after the compress() line.

Why

>>52408041
>>52408051
You get all of these for free for your fixed 9-element "list":
fmap
everything in Data.Foldable
everything in Data.Traversable

So, for example, you can turn Board into a list if you really want to. You can also fmap over it, fold[lr], etc

This relies on GHC's ability to derive Functor, Foldable and Traversable automatically for the Board type.

>>52408041

That depends, which "people" are you talking about? Obviously performance intensive applications belong on the desktop. For anything else, it depends upon which market one is trying to target, and for many cases, it may be wise to make both a desktop and a mobile application.

The API is pretty sane, the code itself is very short (only 20,000 lines), compiles anywhere because it's ANSI C, performance is okay, but the code is a bit of a quagmire (abuse of the preprocessor and typedef for unnecessary code "abstraction").

Why do programmers from different backgrounds with different expertise and specializations have completely different jargon, conventions, and idioms that they expect everyone else to immediately understand or else assume that that person clearly doesn't know what they are doing and deserves to be treated like an infant?

Why is there this prevalent opinion being espoused lately that it's OK for open source software to suck because the developers are doing it for free and you should be grateful or do it yourself?

/sci/ here.

I'm trying to compare the efficiency one of my algorithms. Unfortunately the paper I'm using only quoted how long their runs took instead function evaluations (seriously, why?).

My question is how "good" is a "64 bit Xeon 3.2GHz processor"?

I'm using an "Intel Core i30 530 2.93 GHz". Is that worse or better?

Mine has 4 cores, but the interpreter only uses one. Obviously the clock speed is slower, but I'm guessing there's more to it than clock speed?


I hope my question isn't too off topic. I don't really know where else to ask, /g/ in general seems more about consumer product brand names than the minutiae of hardware.

This is true, but I don't know anyone who actually uses C's qsort. Most C programmers are used to rolling their own algorithms specific to their use case, which will almost certainly outperform the C++ implementations.

It is relatively harder to "abuse" C. It is very, very easy to abuse C++ features and balloon your execution times to absurd amounts.

>>>Anything with std::string
>>Forever.
>If you reserve memory ahead of time, it's fairly fast. Same with vectors.
I literally "ported" a genetic algorithm implementation to C and replaced his use of std:string with char arrays and modified them directly instead of using C++'s retarded functions. My implementation ran 25x faster.

Clock speed is nowhere close to the whole picture. Modern CPUs get faster by performing not more clock cycles, but more operations per clock cycle. That's what they use all the extra space on silicon for when they shrink down the transistor size.

Take a look at these two processors.

https://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=Intel+Xeon+E5-2695+v3+%40+2.30GHz&id=2371

Both top out at around 3.25 GHz, but one is an order of magnitude faster.

That's still tiny as far as computers are concerned. You could easily do this in memory yourself and then just save it.

But if you were planning on going to and from a file this whole time, you really could have just done

execl("/usr/bin/gzip", "gzip", "-k", "mytext.txt");

this whole time. If your text file was hundreds of megabytes to gigabytes, I would recommend doing this exclusively. But for small files, execl can sometimes be an inconvenience or, for many small files, a source of poor performance.

>>52409211
I have to do it in my C++ program. It's a save file for a game, and I'm not compressing it to save space, I'm compressing it because I don't want the player to mess with it.

>>52409237
Ahh, I see - clever. You're a sneaky one. I wonder if that's what the garbled formats of some /d/ esque games that I've played used.

Yeah, your best bet is to just compress the whole thing at once in memory and then save it.

>>52409282
>Ahh, I see - clever. You're a sneaky one.
Isn't that how all games do it? Open up a save file from any game in Notepad, it's all just a bunch of garbage.

Sometimes, other times games will just directly serialize the classes that make up their game state in binary.

You're getting into DRM territory here. I strongly dislike DRM, but since you're writing a game I'm willing to help you. Feels unnecessary to me, but as cheap validation you can hash all the game assets, and if the hash doesn't match the one provided in your program, quit. Make sure you don't use any libraries that are GPL3.

I hate DRM too. Would you really consider that DRM? I've never seen any game with all the assets available for anyone to edit. The closest I've seen would probably be Papers, Please. All the sound effects were in an /audio folder, but the art, dialogue, ect. weren't easy to get to. I guess it would make modding extremely easy, but my game isn't really mod-potential.

I'm creating a small bash script to move a bunch of video files into directories based on their title.
I want to have a text file that contains a bunch of aliases between series titles and what I actually want to save them as.

For example, I have a file "[Commie] Ace of the Diamond ~Second Season~ - 40 [31261AE1].mkv".
Using sed, I get the title down to "Ace of the Diamond Second Season". What I actually want to save it into is "Ace of Diamond S2".
I want to have a text file which is contains a bunch of entries like "Ace of Diamond Second Season=Ace of Diamond S2" or whatever.

What would the easiest way to do this using bash?

>>52409743
That's the thing. I'm not certain what it's supposed to do. I was talking about definition, like

def factory(n):

Except not the edging, I just wait till I finished the goal to "collect" the reward. :^)

>>52409762
By the laymen's definition it isn't. I don't really have any idolization for the FSF, and honestly, as long as you don't implement "real" DRM by consumer standards I have no real aversion to what you're doing.

But the point about GPL3 still stands - the GNU project for example would consider this to be DRM and they actually have a clause in the GPL3 explicitly forbidding this use case (because in GPL2 someone used it as a loophole and there was nothing the FSF could do about it). So don't use any GPL3 licensed libraries, otherwise you might have a problem.

>>52410054
I really can't understand why people think bash isn't a complete joke these days. Most systems come with objectively better languages for shell scripting (perl or tcl) or general purpose scripting languages pre-installed. Bash is untyped, relies upon outside programs for ANY functionality, and is slow as misery.

The only reason people used previously was because it was a system standard and small. Lua is smaller and consumes less resources at idle if you care that much. And being a standard isn't even a valid strength in today's age; we have the internet for package distribution.

>>52410091
Yes. It's really the only way you should implement lists in a professional piece of software. Linked lists become horribly inefficient as they grow because a lack of data locality.

bash is a DSL and a huge standard around the world for shell scripting and writing programs. As long as you're not trying to use it for general purpose programming, you'll often have an easier time with bash than some scripting language like Lua that isn't designed for shell scripting.

>>52410406
>you'll often have an easier time with bash than some scripting language
No... If you want to do something that tools like cut, sed, grep, bc, etc. can't handle you have to write in another language. Lua is specifically meant for shell scripting, but Perl is superior in every way and every Unix-like I've ever heard of has perl available to it. Why do you think most system utilities in most Linux distributions are written in perl or python and not bash? Bash sucks, bash is outdated. I don't care if you learned it long ago and are accustomed to it, but there is no reason to learn it new.

>>52410484
>Lua is specifically meant for shell scripting
What? No it's not. It's designed to be easily embedded into other languages.

Nobody is saying that people do or should write shit like that in Bash. Bash is for glueing other shit together.

>>52410470
>How would using another language make that any easier?
Because you can, in addition to writing your shitty little script, write more complicated programs in another language. Why know bash and something else, when you could just know something else?
