  • What is the role of asserts in C++ programs that have unit tests?

    - by lhumongous
    Greetings, I've been adding unit tests to some legacy C++ code, and I've run into many scenarios where an assert inside a function will get tripped during a unit test run. A common idiom that I've run across is functions that take pointer arguments and immediately assert if the argument is NULL. I could easily get around this by disabling asserts when I'm unit testing. But I'm starting to wonder if unit tests are supposed to alleviate the need for runtime asserts. Is this a correct assessment? Are unit tests supposed to replace runtime asserts by happening sooner in the pipeline (ie: the error is caught in a failing test instead of when the program is running). On the other hand, I don't like adding soft fails to code (eg: if(param == NULL) return false;). A runtime assert at least makes it easier to debug a problem in case a unit test missed a bug. Thanks!

  • Ruby Regexp methods?

    - by fjs6
    Is there a gem/example_code that allows to work with regexps? I am not looking for what a regexp can do, but what can be done to a Regexp object. For example: r = Regexp.new(...) r.min_length => the minimum length of a matching string r = Regexp.new("car(less)?") r.min_length => 3 for the string "car" Thanks!

  • Drupal: How to render a form and table on same page

    - by Aaron
    Can someone help me render a form and table on the same page? I'm sure it's easy, but can't think of how to do it. Here's hook_menu: function ncbi_subsites_menu() { $items = array(); $items['admin/content/ncbi_subsites'] = array( 'title' => 'NCBI Subsites Module', 'description' => 'Informs Drupal about NCBI subsites as defined by the Content Inventory database', 'page callback' => 'ncbi_subsites_show_main_page', 'access arguments' => array( 'administer site configuration' ), 'type' => MENU_NORMAL_ITEM, ); return $items; } Here's the callback: function ncbi_subsites_show_main_page() { $subsites = ncbi_subsites_get_subsites_from_inventory(); // fnc returns associative array from inventory, defined in include return ncbi_subsites_make_table( $subsites ); } In the callback I call some helper functions that return a themed, paged table. What I want is a small form above the table. How would I that?

    I'm looking for a way to implement a bracket style border around my <h2> headings; I've attached an image showing exactly what I'm trying to accomplish. The only way I can think of to achieve this effect is by using images, but I'm unsure of exactly how to do so(all of my <h2>s are of varying length/height, or if maybe there is a better way. Any tips & insight are greatly appreciated.

  • pagination - 10 pages per page

    - by arthur
    I have a pagination script that displays a list of all pages like so: prev [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14] next But I would like to only show ten of the numbers at a time: prev [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12] next How can I accomplish this? Here is my code so far: <?php /* Set current, prev and next page */ $page = (!isset($_GET['page']))? 1 : $_GET['page']; $prev = ($page - 1); $next = ($page + 1); /* Max results per page */ $max_results = 2; /* Calculate the offset */ $from = (($page * $max_results) - $max_results); /* Query the db for total results. You need to edit the sql to fit your needs */ $result = mysql_query("select title from topics"); $total_results = mysql_num_rows($result); $total_pages = ceil($total_results / $max_results); $pagination = ''; /* Create a PREV link if there is one */ if($page > 1) { $pagination .= '< a hr_ef="?page='.$prev.'">Previous</a> '; } /* Loop through the total pages */ for($i = 1; $i <= $total_pages; $i++) { if(($page) == $i) { $pagination .= $i; } else { $pagination .= '< a hr_ef="index.php?page='.$i.'">'.$i.'</a>'; } } /* Print NEXT link if there is one */ if($page < $total_pages) { $pagination .= '< a hr_ef="?page='.$next.'"> Next</a>'; } /* Now we have our pagination links in a variable($pagination) ready to print to the page. I pu it in a variable because you may want to show them at the top and bottom of the page */ /* Below is how you query the db for ONLY the results for the current page */ $result=mysql_query("select * from topics LIMIT $from, $max_results "); while ($i = mysql_fetch_array($result)) { echo $i['title'].'<br />'; } echo $pagination; ?>

  • Hashing a python function to regenerate output when the function is modified

    - by Seth Johnson
    I have a python function that has a deterministic result. It takes a long time to run and generates a large output: def time_consuming_function(): # lots_of_computing_time to come up with the_result return the_result I modify time_consuming_function from time to time, but I would like to avoid having it run again while it's unchanged. [time_consuming_function only depends on functions that are immutable for the purposes considered here; i.e. it might have functions from Python libraries but not from other pieces of my code that I'd change.] The solution that suggests itself to me is to cache the output and also cache some "hash" of the function. If the hash changes, the function will have been modified, and we have to re-generate the output. Is this possible or ridiculous? Updated: based on the answers, it looks like what I want to do is to "memoize" time_consuming_function, except instead of (or in addition to) arguments passed into an invariant function, I want to account for a function that itself will change.

  • How can I find the dimensions of a matrix in Python?

    - by PBD10017
    How can I find the dimensions of a matrix in Python. Len(A) returns only one variable. Edit: Hi Thanks. close = dataobj.get_data(timestamps, symbols, closefield) Is (I assume) generating a matrix of integers (less likely strings). I need to find the size of that matrix, so I can run some tests without having to iterate through all of the elements. As far as the data type goes, I assume it's an array of arrays (or list of lists).

  • C# Simple IF OR question

    - by Jamie
    Hi all, Sorry to ask this as I thought I knew the answer, I want to exit the program if userName is greater than 4 characters or userName is not an account called student. However this even if the userName is only 3 characters and is not student I'm still hitting Application.Exit. What am I doing wrong? if (userName.Length > 4 | userName != "student") { Application.Exit(); } Shame on me :-(

  • What are the things Java got right?

    - by hamletdarcy
    What are the things that Java (the language and platform) got categorically right? In other words, what things are more recent programming languages preserving and carrying forward? Some easy answer are: garbage collection, a VM, lack of pointers, classloaders, reflection(?) What about language based answers? Please don't list the things Java did wrong, just right. (note by Mark Harrison) This is an interesting and useful question, especially for those of us who don't use java regularly. I'm voting for reopening. Please don't close as argumentative, as it doesn't seem to be causing any arguments.

  • Display values and how many times they occured using a Dictionary

    - by user1730056
    I've been told to By using a dictionary (or your solution to Part 4), write a method at_least(a, n) that takes a list, a, and an integer, n, as arguments and returns a list containing only the elements of a that occur at least n times. For complete marks, the list should contain the elements in order of their first occurrence in a. I was able to figure this without using a dictionary, with def at_least2(a, n): return [x for x in a if a.count(x) is n] I was wondering how I can write this using a dictionary? The input is: a = [-6, 8, 7, 3, 2, -9, 1, -3, 2, -4, 4, -8, 7, 8, 2, -2, -7, 0, 1, -9, -3, -7, -3, -5, 6, -3, 6, -3, -10, -8] def at_least(a, 2): and the output: [8, 7, 2, -9, 1, -3, 2, -8, 7, 8, 2, -7, 1, -9, -3, -7, -3, 6, -3, 6, -3, -8] Edit: I don't understand how a dictionary is being used, yet the output isn't in dictionary form? My understanding is that dictionaries have values for each object. I'm not sure if I'm using the right terms.

  • Cocoa: what is the var name of an instance created by a NIB file?

    - by Nibbles
    When a Cocoa NIB file instantiates an instance of a custom controller object, what is the name of the variable that that custom controller instance is assigned to? In case that isn't clear, if you manually created an instance of that class you would do: MyControllerClass *myVar = [[MyControllerClass alloc] init]; What equivalent of "myVar" has the NIB used when doing this behind the scenes?

  • Switching MySql Replication Format

    - by NNN
    I'm currently using statement-based replication. After upgrading to MySql 5.1, I'm considering using row-based replication. After reading the docs it seems that you can change the format of the master on the fly. Will the slave automatically adapt to whatever type of binary log it is sent? Do I have to make any changes to the slave or master to get ready for switching or can I simply modify the binlog_format variable on the master?

  • Javascript (JSON) Objects: Get Parent

    - by Dänu
    Hey Guys I got some question about nested javascript objects (is it me, google or is javascript quite poorly documented?). Now, I got the following (nested) object: obj: { subObj: { 'hello world' } }; next thing I do is to reference the subobject like this: var s = obj.subObj; now what I would like to do, is to get a reference to the object obj out of the variable s. Something like: var o = s.parent; Is this somehow possible?

    I can't remember what the method is meant to be for ensuring the scope of a variable in a query is restricted to prevent mysql injection. where should i put brackets in the following examples? UPDATE table SET col_1 = '$var', col_2 = '$var2' WHERE col_1 = '$var3' and SELECT * FROM table WHERE WHERE col_1 >= '$var1' (Obviously looking for answers not using PDO!)
