C is a different kind of hard, and requires a different kind of autism from video game development.

My advice for learning practical C is to use open source projects written in C, and dig around whenever you find something that breaks. Otherwise, learning the best practices can be hard, since the language has been around so long, and everyone has their own ideas of what is best.

And don't be afraid to reinvent the wheel because, for better or worse, that's just part of the C culture. Every company seems to have their own library for shit like LinkedList, HashMap, etc. Use it as an excuse to learn more of what goes on under the hood. Then go ahead and use a battle tested lib if you need it for a real project.

> Trying to figure out how to move data from one point in the cloud to another point in the cloud without it routing through my on-premise server.

usually not possible, unfortunately, but for many cloud services (e.g. AWS, I think) traffic inside the same datacenter is free. So e.g. you could do an S3->EC2->S3 copy for $0, AFAIR.

can someone help me, I don't understand this error

im using requests, I do a post request and I get the answer and I get a

I'm actually trying to move data within an Azure SQL Server instance to another database in that instance, but the Azure SQL Server is a standalone application, so I can't run a .NET application on it like I would if it was installed on a Red Hat Linux server locally.

That's what I planned to do.

What do you mean? Finding something broken then fixing it for an open source project?

Thanks for your posts, I guess I'll stick to C for now.

>>57866615
you probably shadowed the json identifier with a dict somewhere by doing something like

json = {}

or so

>>57866615
Well it seems like to me, tjson has no attribute "loads"

It's a dictionary and in Python, dictionaries don't have a method called "loads"

>>57866625
idk shit about either azure or SQL server. Maybe it has something like postgres where you can use an SQL command to connect to another postgres server and then dump over tables. IDK how billing works on azure though, they would probably bill you for the traffic.

Maybe you can just use the replication system

>>57866649
Well, it would be easy enough if what I'm doing could be easily done in SQL, but it's going to need to run through a .NET application for some transformation logic.

>>57866783
You can also do something like

>>> from Lyrics_man import print_lyrics
>>> print_lyrics()

or even

>>> from Lyrics_man import *
>>> print_lyrics()
>>> repeat_lyrics()

which dumps all of the functions and variables defined in Lyrics_man into your current namespace (not generally that recommended though, 'cause it clutters things up)

>>57866790
I was trying some stuff out.
I am new for fucks sake.

>>57866793

Other than that, guess your only option is to spin up an instance and run some code.

>The kernel and driver stuff sounds interesting though.
It's harder to learn that on your own, but definitely doable (since at the very least, I did it). Get used to using virtual machines early, since that'll be your bread and butter for testing kernel work. And don't be afraid to download the linux kernel source code and start poking around. Even if you don't understand the code at first, the documentation is pretty amazing, and it will teach you a lot.

>Finding something broken then fixing it for an open source project?
Yeah, but starting out, you don't even have to fix it. Just being able to navigate the code to the point where you can understand why things are broken is a huge challenge at first. But you'll learn a lot that way.

Also, a solid way to get used to a C codebase is to choose one message the program outputs, figure out where it lives in the code, and change it to say something else. It's mostly a matter of code navigation, but code navigation is one of the most important skills for C, since C codebases are often fuckhuge. Plus it feels good to make a tangible, easily verifiable change in a program.

>I'll stick to C for now.

Use an online regex tester such as:
https://regex101.com/

And read this:
http://www.regular-expressions.info/tutorial.html

And google anything else you need to know to parse that particular string.
Like anything else, the best way to learn is by doing. After using regex several times it will start to come naturally.

>>57867126

>>57867249
its ok, I use it at work

it has some really annoying aspects to it, and the community is extremely shit and deluded. If you say anything that can be remotely construed as a criticism of anything related to go, people will jump on your throat. Or if you just mention that you also use C or C++ etc, they will declare you insane. OTOH when there is any progress, the crowd starts chanting "we realtime now, we realtime now" etc. If you ask or question any of the internals of the go implementation, people will scream "YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO CARE ABOUT THAT!!!!" at you.

Just don't let yourself get infected with the toxicity, and you'll be fine.

But it is a good & productive language if you want to get shit done, like implementing HTTP APIs and other such services. The lack of generics and exceptions is annoying at times, but you can live with it. It has a decent amount of libraries etc (we use the go AWS SDK a lot to interact with amazon etc)

the type-system is also not as powerful as one might wish, as a result there are a lot of interface{}'s being thrown around in stead of properly safe generics as you would have in C++. But you can make do.

>>57867276
while that's true, in many other languages they are not nearly as well-integrated. since they are a "default" feature of go, everything plays nice with them. I've used coroutines etc in other languages, and it's often not that easy.

OTOH goroutines, channels and the other primitives go offers are really not the end-all be-all solution of modelling concurrent or parallel problems either. They have a lot of subtleties and edge-cases that can cause hung goroutines, leaks (goroutine leaks, filehandle leaks, slice leaks, ...) etc.

Also, it has occurred in some cases that I would've preferred to just have an asynchronous, single-threaded i/o event loop instead of spawning a shittonne of goroutines, but you don't get to chose, in that case goroutines are kinda forced on you. but oh well.

I'm trying to pass a member of a struct to a function but I get an error "Request for member year of something not a structure or union"

    /* The date looks like this '2016-10-05', so read an int, skip the 
       '-', read an int, etc
    */
    
    parseInt(s, d.year);//Error here!

>>57867642
d.year is an int, but parseInt expects to receive an int*.

try

parseInt(s, &d.year);

>>57866426
pretty cool

>>57867642
also, parseDate takes a Date* not a Date, so you can't write d.year, you have to write d->year (or change it to not take a Date* but a Date instead)

so you have to do something like

parseInt(s, &d->year);

actually.

Heh. I had someone tell me the opposite. He said since I know C, if I know java; I will know both. He said C++ is basically a hybrid of java and C. -Some guy from India.

>>57868037
There is a *lot* more to C++ than that. Javas type-system is not nearly as powerful as C++s, for instance. C++ also has its own standard-library which is very different from java, and many concepts that make no sense in java like xrefs/rrefs/etc, move semantics, destructors, smart pointers etc

>>57867972

probably java, I'd rather employ an inexperienced java programmer writing shit java code than an inexperienced C++ programmer writing shit c++ code that has security issues. If I'm looking for a C++ dev, I'd definitely put the bar a good deal higher.

But both are very in-demand languages, so ultimately learning either is a good time-investment for your career.

Would saying that smart pointers are just pointers that enforce some encapsulation to assure that you use them in stricter ways that let you be assured of their more narrow space of potential states.

>>57868433

>>57868442
>wrong
Could you please correct it? I'd learn a lot from that.

>>57868433
I suppose in a sense that is correct, if you consider e.g. "dangling"/"leaked" to be states of the pointer

but there's really not much point in trying to give a description of "smart pointers" in general; rather, one should give a description of the two main kind of smart pointers (std::shared_ptr and std::unique_ptr) individually, since they achieve rather different things

Hey fags I got a question for you, is it possible to set up a second virtual desktop with it's own mouse on a windows 10 laptop? Got a program running that uses my mouse and clicks and so obviously prevents me from using my laptop. I'd like to set up a second virtual desktop (which is easy to do) but also create a mouse to move on that desktop while it is not in view.

Any of you know if this is possible? I'd like to have my program running in that second desktop moving and clicking while I use my other desktop view with my actual mouse.

>>57868491

just rewrite the program to dispatch events rather than taking the control over your peripherals
what kinda dumb design is that

>>57868482
>in a sense that's correct
Well I didn't consider there to be other relevant states of smart pointers. Shared_ptr is for reference counting. Unique_ptr aims to ensure only one reference.

What else is there really?
>they achieve different things
I genuinely haven't seen that. They're just used differently for the same purpose afaik.
>>57868483
Surely that's a bit extreme. I wouldn't need an entire book for smart pointers.

I'm like 95% sure the windows input system is designed with the limitation of there only being one pointer device at the same time (and there may be additional limitations like it being impossible to use it on another workspace without switching to that workspace). One think you could look into is whether you can get something to work by telling windows you have a touchscreen and then sending touch events? dunno

The better idea may be to just send events into the event-queue of the application. I think on windows it's possible to just place a mouseclick at a certain location into the event queue of a GUI program. That way you could be able to make the application to anything you want it to do without ever actually using the mouse. Well, at least I think this is how it worked in the XP days, no idea about modern windows. This may require admin privileges nowadays etc.

>>57868573
Sounds like it's for mirroring a game to control two accounts or something.

That's actually possible, I would think. If you capture the coordinates of mouse clicks and then basically capture the mouse, move it to the equivalent on the other monitor, and make a click event, then that would be one way to do it.

You could do this as an overlay to whatever you want.

Yes, I'd say it's possible.

tfw no job c++ developer here, what's a good freelance website for me ;'c?

Is it worth to program in C as close as possible to a purely functional language or not?

I mean is there any performance gain to use the global scope?

>>57868640
Your shit's all fucked up and you talk like a fag.

C++ has a fuckton of jobs, on par with C and Python, only behind C# and Java, excluding Javascript and SQL.

You should be able to get a job if you're hunting in a city. Be willing to move.

>>57868643
scope? C has no concepts of scopes. Do you mean avoiding functions? There is generally no point to avoiding functions in C, as the compiler can generally inline them (if they are small enough) and calling a function is pretty cheap (and makes sense if they are big enough, so that you won't have all that duplicated code in your cache)

>>57868643
>is there any performance gain
Performance gain for what?

Why do you need performance gains?

Have you benchmarked your application, ensured functionality, and actually confirmed that the performance is unacceptable?

Surely you're not trying to optimize prematurely, right?

>>57868569
>unique_ptr
But that's exactly what I described. It ensures only one reference to the object. When the last reference disappears it frees the object (well, not necessarily. You could extend the use of the ptr. It could consciously just leak it or add it to a free queue for later processing but you get my point)
>shared_ptr
Again it seems to fit my description well.

This additional use you (multiple of you) have claimed seems fairly invisible.

Why are C++ programmers so secretive? It's a rather small question and you could probably describe it or point me in the right direction with a single word.
People put way more effort into helping concrete errors here, so why not give me this small piece?
It makes it seem like you actually don't know and it was just a falsification. I'm sure you'd agree with that assessment.

>>57868669
For example:

static int x;
void f() {
    x = 6;
}

// vs

int f(int x) {

First one might be faster?

> the last reference
well, there is only one, in the case of unique_ptr. That's a big part of the point (and indeed, rust has this embedded into its type-system, even) -- if two parts of your code can point to the same buffer and mutate that buffer, you can easily run into trouble. A big class of problems is avoided when you know for certain that a pointer is unique (also e.g. the issue of aliasing pointers inside a single function, which is an issue in C, fortran, ... - in C you can declare a pointer "restrict" to promise to the compiler that it doesn't alias, but with unique_ptr (or in rust) you know this *for sure*.)

Basically almost anywhere you may use a pointer, it is better to use a unique_ptr. It also has zero space overhead.

> shared_ptr
shared_ptr is for managing multiple views of the same piece of data, so it's more akin to being a garbage-collected pointer (in the sense of garbage-collection that e.g. perl do, which has no "real" garbage-collector, only reference-counting). it has overhead compared to using a raw pointer.

idk what you were asking exactly, but maybe this answers it. they're not difficult concepts anyway.

>>57868729
Well since both are constant and equally cache local (Presuming you don't pack your X in with other data to be processed) they should be identical if you save the return of the second version.
Both should also be inlined in practically all cases.

I really need some advice guys. I need to make this in python. My only concerns are the colours. They are user inputted. How would I approach this? I tried using if statements to set the right colours but it doesn't work and seems wrong (too many lines of code).

>>57868694
It does not ensure a single reference to the object.
While not semantically correct, you can have multiple const references to an unique_ptr.

Consider this:

#include <memory>

void f1(const std::unique_ptr<int> &v)
{
}

void f2(const std::unique_ptr<int> &v)
{
}

int main(int, const char **)
{
    auto a = std::make_unique<int>(5);
    f1(a);
    f2(a);
    return 0;
}

>>57868763
C/C++, Java, and Python are what we're most familiar with.

>>57868729
not really, but it's not that easy of a question to answer. It depends on where the function boundary is. Either way, there is never a point to using the global scope. If you want to avoid returning something from a function, the alternative is to pass a function pointer.

So it's really

void f(int *x) {
    *x = 5;
}
int main(void){
    int a;
    f(&a);
}

vs.

int f() {return 5;}
int main(void){
    int a = f();
}

Returning small things from a function is generally considered faster than passing pointers. For larger objects the answer is not so simple. Often it doesn't make a difference, either because the function ends up being inlined anyway (in which case functions are a zero-overhead abstraction) or if the function is e.g. in the same compilation unit, then the stackframe of main() can already allocate space for the object returned by f (even if its very large). If you're returning large objects through a DSO boundary (e.g. from a .so into your program, or on windows from a .dll to your .exe) then there may be considerable overhead to returning large objects on the stack, and passing a pointer that the function writes into may be faster.

If none of that makes sense to you or you're not sure if you need to care, the TL;DR is "just use functions whenever you want, they have basically no performance penality. Using global variables has basically never a performance benefit"

>>57868762
The difference here of the compiler being able to specialise the case where it knows the value of X in the second case if it's passed a constant is quite significant.
If you're not passing a constant and the function wasn't inlined you will (potentially depending on the use of X within the function) do a copy of the argument.


It's not where performance crops up generally. Failure to inline appropriately is rare. And in certain cases it's preferable to not inline. The global variable use doesn't in particular have any downside on the performance end (assuming the argument versions return is saved, or it simply won't be an effective statement as its dead code). The real downside to it is the amount of stuff to consider. The (imo) major upside to functional programming. You don't need to consider that much state.
But if you actually care about performance and want to learn how to care about performance here's a post I wrote:

My bad. I assumed a volatile global (which is the norm for me). In that case the compiler should be able to do both as well.

So its really just a copy.
Use whichever you prefer.

>>57869237

And >>57869254 beat me to it.

Using a markup language for markup is simply a better option, and WPF exposes much more functionality to take advantage of the GPU and properly scale UI.

That plus something like MahApps makes for much more modern-feeling applications.

>>57869254
>winforms alternative
Is better.
While OOP gui generally sucks and we need some proper systems for it.
The advantages a OOP system has in terms of automatically generating a UI from a design tool is great.
Markup doesn't lend itself well to a mixed system where you do some of it programmatically and some of it programmatically.
Winforms keeps it all in one format and that's a major advantage.

>>57869325

Yeah, but scaling...

>>57869354

Yeah you do that programmatically anon.

>Markup doesn't lend itself well to a mixed system where you do some of it programmatically and some of it programmatically.
wut

Also, the fact that you use a language designed for logic as descriptive markup in WinForm is a disadvantage, not an advantage.

XAML was built to describe UI, while C# was only repurposed for it in WinForms.

Your UI should have no logic, and the grid-based system of XAML combined with the other things I've mentioned make it a superior framework.

Either way, it's opinions and opinions, but I think your opinion is borne from stagnation.

When you use MVVM with XAML+C# or even XAML + Javascript, you end up with a very maintainable compartmentalized application that is actually made for the modern world, rather than something messy, limited, and only exists due to laziness in learning.

not literally though. please don't joke I'm trying to deduce this.

>>57869434
that cannot be done without support from the runtime/compiler somehow. You can take an approach where anything that looks like a pointer is treated as one, but that's rather dangerous and leaky (I think go used to do this before it got a proper GC)

>>57869569
But C++ isn't successor of Pascal

>>57869581
I wasn't talking about C++

>>57869537
Because you can process your design output and easily insert the shit you want.
For instance you can make a class which your pre-processor handles and (just as a random example) duplicates within the element you're in to fill it up and makes a unified code path for all those different objects to respond through.

I'm not very good at explaining. Sorry if I fail.
I'm sure you can get the gist of it here though. You would have to jump through hoops to get the XAML to do the same thing.

>>57869591
You wasn't talking about anything other though

>>57869600

C you fucking nobhead

>>57869434
Why would you implement it that way?

(Correct me if I'm wrong here, never implemented GC.)

Seems the right way would be to add to malloc, or add a wrapper around malloc, so that you also maintain a list of every single pointer to data on the heap. Then you will occasionally iterate over the list (add some kind of trigger) and call free for the data that is no longer referenced. (You will have to maintain a sort of graph.)

Traversing the stack seems wrong.

>>57869598
>For instance you can make a class which your pre-processor handles and (just as a random example) duplicates within the element you're in to fill it up and makes a unified code path for all those different objects to respond through.
how is that any easier to do in WinForms than WPF? I don't even know why you would do something like that.

>You would have to jump through hoops to get the XAML to do the same thing.
uh... how do you figure that?

>>57869411
If you're willing to accept the drawbacks with using object pascal

- no fast compiler (what's the point of being close to metal if you can't go fast?)
- no community
- no library ecosystem
- may not run (well) on all platforms you care about (e.g. ARM because the compiler can't target it (well) or ios/android because you can't access the relevant APIs to do stuff)
- etc

I mean, I've never actually used object pascal myself, but I bet most or all of these hold true.

>>57869600
Ada is the unofficial pascal++

>>57869556
I think a better way is to store pointers in a global data structure as they are created. Maybe you can find a way of overriding the definition of malloc.

If I do this:

template <typename T>
void whatever(const T& arg) {
//do stuff
}

int somefunction(char);

whatever(somefunction);

What's the type of T? Reference to function pointer?

>>57869613
You are indeed right in that we need the maintain a list of all the pointers to the heap. We do need some way of determining if a pointer is no longer references though.

>>57869631
>I don't know why
Well. I thought for sure you'd understand a circumstance based UI decision to be preferably on the programmatic end.
>how do you figure that
I don't quite see how to do the same thing through WPF without moving from the XAML to C# first, doing the transformation and then moving back.

You could of course have this construct within your program and have an initialization step where you have to figure out what the UI is like at that moment and fix it but in my experience it's easier to do it before that stage.

But I could be wrong.

>>57869648
Function pointer yes.
The type of arg is a const function pointer reference.

It seems odd to choose the platform locked version. So there must be good reason behind it but I don't see it.

>>57869662
that is exceedingly difficult tho, because you can throw pointers around on the stack as you please, and increment/decrement them so that they point into the middle of some buffer. So how will you know if something is a pointer anymore when it got incremented and is not pointing to the start of one of your allocations anymore? It could just be some random integer. check out the boehm gc.

you can keep track of the ranges of all your allocated regions and then if there is anything looking like an integer/pointer on the stack that points inside one of those regions, you keep the region around, otherwise you GC it. But this is very leaky (on 32 bit, where your address space is not that big and many integers will coincidentally point into your regions -- not so much of an issue on 64 bit systems)

>>57869685
I'm having a lot of trouble trying to figure out exactly what the fuck you're talking about, but you can certainly lay the bare bones of a control out in XAML and then do all sorts of programmatic modification and population of the control when instantiated/when the program is started.

Frankly, after using both for a long time, I cannot thing of one single advantage of WinForms in performance, programmability, or maintainability.

The only advantage WinForms has is that there is an implementation that runs on Linux machines and Windows 98, so there's some edge-case compatibility.

So if you want the user to, say, match all valid times between 00:00:00 and 23:59:59, you'll start your generator with the expression

\d\d:\d\d:\d\d

which will result in valid time codes, but also nonsensical ones like 30:91:99. Generate a couple, manually annotate which ones are actual times and which ones aren't, then give that to the user and have him write a regexp that only matches valid examples.
Implementing a regexp parser is a little more more work than I thought thanks to recursion being an option.

So I got sidetracked and and just came up with tasks on my own without a random generator.
Turns out it's surprisingly difficult to write a (Perl style) regexp that matches all valid dates between 0000-01-01 and 9999-12-31, but excluding:
> February 30th / 31st
> April / June / September / November 31st
> February 29th in all years not divisible by 4
> February 29th in all years divisible by 100 (1900, 2000 etc)

My best attempt was 265 characters. Behold:

\d{2}((00|[02468][1-35-79]|[13579][013-57-9])-(02-(0[1-9]|1\d|2[0-8])|(0[469]|11)-(0[1-9]|[12]\d|30)|(0[13578]|1[02])-(0[1-9]|[12]\d|3[01]))|(0[48]|[2468][048]|[13579][26])-(02-(0[1-9]|[12]\d)|(0[469]|11)-(0[1-9]|[12]\d|30)|(0[13578]|1[02])-(0[1-9]|[12]\d|3[01])))

And what's the best non-book tutorial?

>>57870313
>non-book tutorial?
Programming something.

>>57870210
They all take a this pointer (equivalent).
Which ideally gets compiled away if you don't use it. But likely not.

>>57870293
>excluding
Can't you just have a check for those particular dates and 'break' the regex past that?

>>57870416
I don't know, can you? I'm pretty new to this.

template<typename T>
T average(T a,T b)
{
    return a/2 + b/2 + (a%2 & b%2);
}

Find a flaw.

>>57870439

average("str1", "str2");

>>57870467
destroyed

>>57870467
Wouldn't even compile. Ain't my fault that the nigger coding after me can't check types himself

>>57870393
I haven't done java in forever, but I think if you declare a method static, there won't be a this pointer available in it.

>>57870429
he's saying you should parse the list after the regex runs instead by using your typical calendar methods.

>>57870497
>Poor quality coder is also a le edgy racist

>>57870538
But that's no fun. The challenge was to do it with a single regexp.

>>57870429
I looked it up.
Non-consuming lookahead and and.
i.e
(?!casewedontwant)|(casewedowant)
We can obviously have negative cases chained. If any fail it doesn't match.

You will learn a lot about low level programming by doing this.

>>57870661
Yes, and the algorithm isn't the problem
The problem is I can't create a left list and a right list.
I'm only being passed the interface type of the list, so I can't call new ListIterableInterface()

>>57870676
isn't it like

ListIterableInterface<t> left = new list.getClass();

or something.

>Where should I start learning box2d
iforce2d.net is pretty good for reference, just look up some tutorials. and here's the official manual http://box2d.org/manual.pdf

if you just want to learn to use box2d, copy off some other people's programs and read some tutorials on iforce

>broadphase and narrow phase but don't really know how physics is done in computers at all?
i looked into it a bit, while there is some tough math involved it isn't the hardest part to understand how they work. there are many tutorials on how to write your own physics engine. the hard part is handling all the edge cases and being super optimized, tried & tested as box2d has. just not worth it to write and use your own physics engine when box2d is open source under the zlib license

No, that's how virtual works.

>>57870935
I think (but I don't do OOP, but I used to) when you inherit from a class you inherit all the functions. If you don't overload it just calls the base class.
I'm not sure you can go to the grandparent automatically though.

Just passing the integer like they suggest will give you the value of the integer as a char. So for instance 48 would give you a '0'.
But itoa or other similar functions produce an array of characters based on the integer. So 0 would become '0'. 23 would become '2','3'.
Which is more what you want.
