  • MinGW tar compression problem

    - by Shiftbit
    I am unable to get the Mingw tar to work with compress files. It does not filter through the proper compression utility. However, tar will work if I manually uncompress the file first. I have tried in both the MSYS shell and Windows cmd. Has anyone had this problem or is it a MinGW bug? For example, this does not work: C:\Users\home\Desktop>tar -tzf wdiff-0.5.tar.gz tar: Cannot use compressed or remote archives tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now C:\Users\home\Desktop>tar -t -Zgzip -f wdiff-0.5.tar.gz tar: Cannot use compressed or remote archives tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now C:\Users\home\Desktop>tar -tf wdiff-0.5.tar.gz tar: Hmm, this doesn't look like a tar archive tar: Skipping to next file header tar: Only read 6732 bytes from archive wdiff-0.5.tar.gz tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now However, this works: gzip -d wdiff-0.5.tar.gz tar -tf wdiff-0.5.tar

  • MSYS: alias resets upon restarting MSYS console

    - by Shiftbit
    Every time I reopen the MSYS console (not cmd.exe) I find that the aliases that I have added to the shell are cleared. How can I save my aliases so that I do not to reenter them on every use? For example: $ alias desktop="cd=C:/Users/Superuser/Desktop" $ alias clear='clsb' desktop='cd=C:/Users/Superuser/Desktop' Upon restarting: $ alias clear='clsb' How can I preserve my aliases?

  • Windows Util: Executable File Content Examiner

    - by Shiftbit
    Does anyone know if this utility still exists in Windows 7 and if so where I can find it? In Windows 95 there was a utility that would show an executable content including dependencies and the functions. It was similar to a file preview, it would just a brief overview of native applications without opening them.

  • Rosetta Stone: Observer Pattern

    - by Shiftbit
    How is the Observer Pattern expressed in various programming languages? Can you provide a code snippet that illustrates the major differences in each language. This post is intended to demonstrate the differences of this commonly used design pattern. I will start this off with a Java example. Remember to start your answer off with the language being demonstrated.

  • C: Running Unix configure file in Windows

    - by Shiftbit
    I would like to port a few applications that I use on Linux to Windows. In particular I have been working on wdiff. A program that compares the differences word by word of two files. Currently I have been able to successfully compile the program on windows through Cygwin. However, I would like to run the program natively on Windows similar to the Project: UnixUtils. How would I go about porting unix utilities on a windows environment? My possible guess it to manually create the ./configure file so that I can create a proper makefile. Am I on the right track? Has anyone had experience porting GNU software to windows? Update: I've compiled it on Code::Blocks and I get two errors: wdiff.c|226|error: `SIGPIPE' undeclared (first use in this function) readpipe.c:71: undefined reference to `_pipe' readpipe.c:74: undefined reference to `_fork This is a linux signal that is not supported by windows... equvilancy? wdiff.c|1198|error: `PRODUCT' undeclared (first use in this function)| this is in the configure.in file... hardcode would probably be the fastest solution... Outcome: MSYS took care of the configure problems, however MinGW couldnt solve the posix issues. I attempt to utilize pthreads as recommended by mrjoltcola. However, after several hours I couldnt get it to compile nor link using the provided libraries. I think if this had worked it would have been the solution I was after. Special mention to Michael Madsen for MSYS.

  • C++: Explicit DLL Loading: First-chance Exception on non "extern C" functions

    - by Shiftbit
    I am having trouble importing my C++ functions. If I declare them as C functions I can successfully import them. When explicit loading, if any of the functions are missing the extern as C decoration I get a the following exception: First-chance exception at 0x00000000 in cpp.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation. DLL.h: extern "C" __declspec(dllimport) int addC(int a, int b); __declspec(dllimport) int addCpp(int a, int b); DLL.cpp: #include "DLL.h" int addC(int a, int b) { return a + b; } int addCpp(int a, int b) { return a + b; } main.cpp: #include "..DLL/DLL.h" #include <stdio.h> #include <windows.h> int main() { int a = 2; int b = 1; typedef int (*PFNaddC)(int,int); typedef int (*PFNaddCpp)(int,int); HMODULE hDLL = LoadLibrary(TEXT("../Debug/DLL.dll")); if (hDLL != NULL) { PFNaddC pfnAddC = (PFNaddC)GetProcAddress(hDLL, "addC"); PFNaddCpp pfnAddCpp = (PFNaddCpp)GetProcAddress(hDLL, "addCpp"); printf("a=%d, b=%d\n", a,b); printf("pfnAddC: %d\n", pfnAddC(a,b)); printf("pfnAddCpp: %d\n", pfnAddCpp(a,b)); //EXCEPTION ON THIS LINE } getchar(); return 0; } How can I import c++ functions for dynamic loading? I have found that the following code works with implicit loading by referencing the *.lib, but I would like to learn about dynamic loading. Thank you to all in advance.

  • Perl: Event-driven Programming

    - by Shiftbit
    Is there any POSIX signals that I could utilize in my perl program to create event-driven programming? Currently I have multi-process program that is able to cross communicate but my parent thread is only able to listen to listen at one child at a time. foreach (@threads) { sysread(${$_}{'read'}, my $line, 100); chomp($line); print "Parent hears: $line\n"; } The problem is that the parent sits in a continual wait state until it receives it a signal from the first child before it can continue on. I am relying on 'pipe' for my intercommunication. My current solution is very similar to: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2558098/how-can-i-use-pipe-to-facilitate-interprocess-communication-in-perl If possible I would like to rely on a $SIG{...} event or any non-CPAN solution.

  • How do I know if I have an unmanaged resource?

    - by Shiftbit
    I've read that unmanaged resource are considered file handles, streams, anything low level. Does MSDN or any other source explain how to recognize an unmanaged resource? I can't seem to find any examples on the net that show unmanaged code, all the examples just have comments that say unmanaged code here. Can someone perhaps provide a realworld example where I would handle an unmanaged resources in an IDispose interface? I provided the IDisposable interface for your convience. How do I identify an unmanaged resource? Thanks in advance! IDisposable Reference Public Class Sample : Implements IDisposable Private disposedValue As Boolean = False 'To detect redundant calls ' IDisposable Protected Overridable Sub Dispose(ByVal disposing As Boolean) If Not Me.disposedValue Then If disposing Then ' TODO: free other state (managed objects). End If ' TODO: free your own state (unmanaged objects). ' TODO: set large fields to null. End If Me.disposedValue = True End Sub ' This code added by Visual Basic to correctly implement the disposable pattern. Public Sub Dispose() Implements IDisposable.Dispose ' Do not change this code.

  • C# to Java: where T : new() Syntax

    - by Shiftbit
    I am porting some C# code over to Java. I am having trouble with the where Syntax, specifically new(). I understand that where is similar to Java's generic: T extends FOO. How I can replicate the new() argument in Java? "The new() Constraint lets the compiler know that any type argument supplied must have an accessible parameterless--or default-- constructor." - MSDN ie: public class BAR<T> : BAR where T : FOO, new() Right now I have: public class BAR<T extends FOO> extends ABSTRACTBAR { public HXIT(T t){ this.value = t; } .... }

  • Perl: Process Communcation

    - by Shiftbit
    Can anyone explain how I can successfully get my process communicating. I find the perldoc on IPC confusing. What I have so far is: $| = 1; $SIG{CHLD} = {wait}; my $parentPid = $$; if ($pid = fork();) ) { if ($pid == 0) { pipe($parentPid, $$); open PARENT, "<$parentPid"; while (<PARENT>) { print $_; } close PARENT; exit(); } else { pipe($parentPid, $pid); open CHILD, ">$pid"; or error("\nError opening: childPid\nRef: $!\n"); open (FH, "<list") or error("\nError opening: list\nRef: $!\n"); while(<FH>) { print CHILD, $_; } close FH or error("\nError closing: list\nRef: $!\n"); close CHILD or error("\nError closing: childPid\nRef: $!\n); } else { error("\nError forking\nRef: $!\n"); } First Question is what does Perldoc pipe mean by READHANDLE, WRITEHANDLE? Second Questions is can I implement a solution without relying on CPAN or other modules?

  • VisualBasic.net Database Boiler Plate

    Is there any built in .net Classes to assist in the reduction of boiler plate code? I have numerous database operations going on and I find that I am reproducing the connection, command, transaction and occassianlly data set. I am aware of the Java Related Question, however, the solutions pertain to Java. I was wondering if anyone was aware of a .net solution? http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1072925/remove-boilerplate-from-db-code Public Sub ReadData(ByVal connectionString As String) Dim queryString As String = "SELECT EmpNo, EName FROM Emp" Using connection As New OracleConnection(connectionString) Dim command As New OracleCommand(queryString, connection) connection.Open() Using reader As OracleDataReader = command.ExecuteReader() ' Always call Read before accessing data.

Currently, I have multi-process program that is able to cross communicate but my parent thread is only able to listen to listen at one child at a time. foreach (@proc) { sysread(${$_}{'read'}, my $line, 100); #problem here chomp($line); print "Parent hears: $line\n"; } The problem is that the parent sits in a continual wait state until it receives it a signal from the first child before it can continue on. I am relying on 'pipe' for my intercommunication. My current solution is very similar to: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2558098/how-can-i-use-pipe-to-facilitate-interprocess-communication-in-perl If possible I would like to rely on a $SIG{...} event or any non-CPAN solution. Update: As Jonathan Leffler mentioned, kill can be used to send a signal: kill USR1 = $$; # send myself a SIGUSR1 My solution will be to send a USR1 signal to my child process. This event tells the parent to listen to the particular child. child: kill USR1 => $parentPID if($customEvent); syswrite($parentPipe, $msg, $buffer); #select $parentPipe; print $parentPipe $msg; parent: $SIG{USR1} = { #get child pid? sysread($array[$pid]{'childPipe'}, $msg, $buffer); }; But how do I get my the source/child pid that signaled the parent? Have the child Identify itself in its message. What happens if two children signal USR1 at the same time?

  • VB.net: Is my Thread Safe List Solution actually safe?

    - by Shiftbit
    I've added teh following Extensions to my Project in order to create a thread safe list: Extensions If I want to conduct a simple operation on my list <Extension()> _ Public Sub Action(Of T)(ByVal list As List(Of T), ByVal action As Action(Of List(Of T))) SyncLock (list) action(list) End SyncLock End Sub If I want to pass it more than one parameter I could simply extend it with more items... <Extension()> _ Public Sub Action(Of T)(ByVal list As List(Of T), ByVal action As Action(Of List(Of T), T), ByVal item As T) SyncLock (list) Action(list, item) End SyncLock End Sub Actions I have created the following Action Examples: Private Sub Read(Of T)(ByVal list As List(Of T)) Console.WriteLine("Read") For Each item As T In list Console.WriteLine(item.ToString) Thread.Sleep(10) Next End Sub and also one that takes a parameter: Private Sub Write(Of T)(ByVal list As List(Of T), ByVal item As T) Thread.Sleep(100) list.Add(item) Console.WriteLine("Write") End Sub Initiating Then in my various threads I will call my Actions with: list.Action(AddressOf Read) or list.Action(AddressOf Write2, 10) Are these Extenxion methods thread safe or do you have other recommendations?
