Out of order print statements when using fortran program to call c subroutine

I am experiencing problems with displaying values on the console while invoking a C subroutine from a fortran subroutine. I have print statements immediately before and after the call to the C subroutine, as well as a print statement within the C subroutine. However, upon executing the program, the C statements are printed before the two Fortran statements, rather than between them. I’ve looked thoroughly within the code, and there are no calls to the C subroutine elsewhere, so there is no obvious reason why the c statement should be printed before the Fortran statement. I created a simpler Fortran-C program (below) to try to reproduce the problem, but the code executed the print statements in the expected order. I wonder if someone has any insights as to what could be the problem. Thank you.

Sample Fortran code:

  program test

     print *, 'Calling C program'

     call cprog()

     print *, 'Finished calling C program.'

   end program test

sample c code to be invoked from fortran:

void cprog()
{

  printf("THIS IS A TEST\n");

  return;
}

Output:

Calling C program

THIS IS A TEST

Finished calling C program.

Output similar to what I’m experiencing with more complex code:

THIS IS A TEST

Calling C program

Finished calling C program

calculate lowesr differents between 5 cells to other 5 cells

I have this row - [11,19,59,69,9] lets call it FIRST and i have another ~ 100 million rows with the same format

[10,20,30,20,50],
[15,50,60,70,10]
...
...

I need to compare each number from FIRST row to each number in the corresponding cell in each row from the 100M rows , and take the abs diff between those two values and sum all of the diff.

Example :

FIRST - [11,19,59,69,9]
row   - [10,20,30,20,50]
diff  - [|11-10|,|19-20|,|59-30|,|69-20|,|9-50|]  = [1,1,29,49,41] 
sum(diff) = 1+1+29+49+41 =121

And i need to do this comparison between the FIRST and the rest of the rows and output the row with the smallest diff.

What is the best way to do it ? I need to implement it on my SQL DATABASE . Maybe there is SQL query for this ? or maybe i should develop some inner function via c, or c++?

why the first index of the column of a matrix is negative?

why in this simple part of code to modify the point in the lower left of the bidimensional array have I to put in the coordinate m[37][-40]?

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#define MAX 40

int main()
{
    int i, j;
    char m[MAX][MAX];

    for(i=0; i<MAX; i++){
        for(j=0; j<MAX; j++)
            m[i][j]=' ';
    }

    m[37][-40]='X';

    for(i=0; i<MAX; i++){
        for(j=0; j<MAX; j++)
            printf("%c", m[i][j]);
    }
    return 0;
}

Souldn't it be m[37][0]? Becouse the raw is 37 and the column is 0...

Array size calculation without using inbuilt functions

How to find the size of an integer array without using any inbuilt function?

int fun(int a[25],int ele)
{

    int flag=0,i=0;
    while(a[i]!=NULL)
    {
        flag++;
        i++;
    }
    return flag;
 }

Xlib get mouse wheel rate

Is there a property in X11 that tells how many scroll lines should there be in one scroll wheel event?

Is there a difference in speed between using const and static const inside a function?

In C, what is the difference between static const and const inside a function?

For instance, take the given code examples:

void print_int(int x) {
  assert( x < 5 && x > -5 );
  const int i[9] = {
    -4, -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4
  };
  printf("%i", i[x + 4]);
}
int main() {
  print_int( 1 );
  return 0;
}

Versus:

void print_int(int x) {
  assert( x < 5 && x > -5 );
  static const int i[9] = {
    -4, -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4
  };
  printf("%i", i[x + 4]);
}
int main() {
  print_int(1);
  return 0;
}

Would the generated assembly be optimized better if I used static const instead of const, or would the output be the same for both examples?

Eclipse error when trying to run C code

I'm trying to understand binary and hexadecimal numbers. I want to know why my program won't launch in eclipse. It gives me this error:

launch has encountered a problem

It was running when i used int. My computer is 64bit. I'm trying to understand hardware. I need to know what I'm doing wrong. What can I improve on? Is it okay to declare buffer as a global variable? Thanks.

My code is here.

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
char * convertBase(unsigned long int numberToConvert, long int base)
{

    char buffer[65];
    char *pConvertedNumber;
    char allValues[] = "0123456789abcdef";

    pConvertedNumber = &buffer[sizeof(buffer)-1];

    *pConvertedNumber = '\0';

    do {

        int value = numberToConvert % base;

        pConvertedNumber = pConvertedNumber - 1;

        *pConvertedNumber = allValues[value];

        numberToConvert /= base;

    } while(numberToConvert != 0);

    printf("%s", pConvertedNumber);

    return pConvertedNumber;
}

int main(void){

    unsigned long int numberOne = 1000000000;
    printf("\n%ld in Base 16 = ", numberOne);
    convertBase(numberOne, 16);

    printf("\n");

return 0;
}

Headers Vs. Static Libraries

I am planning to do some utility code for using in other projects, but I am doubting between making it a mostly-headers code, a static library with headers just exposing the interface or something in between. Most of the code will be simple functions that wrap other standard functions but there will be also some bigger functions.

I think I mostly understand the differences between the header approach and the static library approach:

For the headers:

• All the code will be in headers
• Better oportunities for the compiler to inline code
• Every function will have to be compiled every time it is used

For the static library:

• Mixed code between the library and the headers
• Worse oportunities for the compiler to inline code
• Compile once and forget

I have been looking at some code and I have seen both approaches, but I don't know which will be better. Any thoughts?

How to control multiple robots through raspberry pi using bluetooth

I am trying to control two arduino robots through raspberry pi using Bluetooth, I have already created the rfcomm file to control one robot, should i include the address of the second one in same rfcomm file? if yes, could someone please tell me how?I've done this is it correct?please ignore the 'enter code here' part everywhere

RFCOMM configuration file.

enter code hererfcomm0 { enter code here # Automatically bind the device at startup enter code here bind yes;

   `enter code here` # Bluetooth address of the device
    `enter code here`device 30:14:10:15:20:90;

Is there any limit to the number of expressions|parameters in a 'while loop' [duplicate]

This question already has an answer here:

• comma separated expression in while loop in C 4 answers

Traditional programming with while-loop is done with a single parameter ex:

• while(1) (or) while(a==b) (or) while(a&&b) (or) while(!a) etc

• The code below takes two parameters in the while loop

  ssize_t r_read(int fd, void *buf, size_t size) 
  {
      ssize_t retval;
      while (retval = read(fd, buf, size), retval == -1 && errno == EINTR);
      return retval;
  }
  
  

  1. Is there any limit to the parameters inside the while loop?
  2. Is there any possible explanation for this or does this methodology have a name?

8 Bit (Binary) array checking in c (embedded c)

How to store 3 different types of data in one array

I need to store 3 linked bits of data in c. My original thought was a 3 dimensional array but that won't work as all 3 data types are different. The top level needs to be a char. The second level needs to be a date/time so a integer. The third level is a temperature reading so needs to be a float.

Is the correct way to do this an array of pointers pointing to an array of pointers pointing to a array of floats? If so how would that be written in C?

Modify if-counter inside a loop

I'm trying to modify a counter in if loop because one array index number needs to be corresponded by the other in order for me to change the place of it's text, but the space between the strings add 1 to the counter.

for(int i = 0, n = strlen(p); i < n; i++){

    if(isspace(p[i])){
        c1 = x[i-1];
        printf("%c", p[i]);
    }
    if(isalpha(p[i])){
        c1 = x[i];
        c2 = c1-96;
        printf("%c --- %c ---%d\n",p[i],c1, c2);
    }

This is one of the attempts but it made an infinite loop, I've tried different approach like:

    if(isspace(p[i))){
        printf("%c", p[i]);
        i -= 1;
    }

Why does my program display the Array address instead of its contents?

My C program consists of an array called 'test_var'. It has another integer array 'arr_int' that consists of a set of integer numbers. My code looks something like this:

 #include <stdlib.h>
 #include <stddef.h>
 #include <stdio.h>

 int State(var);
 int main()
       {
         int arr_int[3] ={1000, 1001, 1002, 1003};
         int var;
         int *test_var[4]={0};

         State(var)
         {
            int i;
            for(i=0; i<4; i++){
               test_var[i] = arr_int[i];
               i++;
                }
          return test_var[var];
          }

          printf("Enter a number between 0 and 3\n");
          scanf("%d",&var);   
          State(var);
          printf ("The array structure is %d", test_var[var]);

          return 0;
          }

However now when I try to print the returned value array test_var for the user input var=0 instead of the whole array(1000) I just get 0. What am I doing wrong here ? COuld somebody please tell me? Am I dereferencing the array in a wrong way?

C: Zlib compress not working

I'm trying a very simple thing: read a minimal text file and compress it with the compress() utility from zlib. I think I've done everything fine, I allocate filesize * 10 for the output, it should be more that enough, but I keep getting -5 (Z_BUF_ERROR) as result of the operation. Any help?

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include "zlib.h"

#define FILE_TO_OPEN "text.txt"

static char* readcontent(const char *filename, int* size)
{
    char* fcontent = NULL;
    int fsize = 0;
    FILE* fp = fopen(filename, "r");

    if(fp) {
        fseek(fp, 0, SEEK_END);
        fsize = ftell(fp);
        rewind(fp);

        fcontent = (char*) malloc(sizeof(char) * fsize);
        fread(fcontent, 1, fsize, fp);

        fclose(fp);
    }

    *size = fsize;
    return fcontent;
}

int main(int argc, char const *argv[])
{
    int input_size;
    char* content_of_file = readcontent(FILE_TO_OPEN, &input_size);

    printf("%d\n", input_size);

    uLongf compressed_data_size;
    char* compressed_data = malloc(sizeof(char) * (input_size * 10));

    int result = compress((Bytef*) compressed_data, (uLongf*)&compressed_data_size, (const Bytef*)content_of_file, (uLongf)input_size);
    printf("%d\n", result);

    return 0;
}

Compiling on Mac

I am brand new to this forum, and have just begun to learn C. The book I am going through wants me to compile the code that was written. I have a file "cards.c", I am on a Mac, have Xcode installed, downloaded gcc from Apple and installed it.

gcc -v Configured with: --prefix=/Applications/http://ift.tt/1d5DwEL --with-gxx-include-dir=/usr/include/c++/4.2.1 Apple LLVM version 6.1.0 (clang-602.0.53) (based on LLVM 3.6.0svn) Target: x86_64-apple-darwin14.4.0 Thread model: posix

When I type: gcc cards.c -o cards

I get: clang: error: no such file or directory: 'cards.c' clang: error: no input files

I have tried going to Xcode downloads to install Xcode's Command Line Tools, it doesn't show up there, maybe I have a newer version?

I cannot figure out how to compile this, any ideas on what I am doing wrong?

Does the cards.c file need to be in a specific folder somewhere?

Expose c-library functionality to node

I have been working on using a c library in my node project. After little bit investigation I found node-gyp.

I was successfully able to execute example but when I am trying to using third party c library functions in the code it was giving me linking error on run time.

Library can be found here http://ift.tt/1SZL7q7

I compiled the library independently to have *.a objects

I am using following example http://ift.tt/1KO1IOs

So I have following questions as I can infer

• Shall I convert bibutils from make to gyp?
• Shall I convert each source file to work with V8? I don't know how to do this.
• How can I easily link this project to work with node-gyp with less noise?

Details related to script can be found below. bibutils folder is placed along with addon.cc

binding.gyp looks like

{
  "targets": [
    {
      "target_name": "addon",
      "sources": [ "addon.cc" ],
      "include_dirs": ["bibutils/lib"],
      "library_dirs": ["bibutils/lib/libbibutil.a","bibutils/lib/libbibprogs.a"]
    }
  ]
}

modified addon.cc

#include <node.h>
#include "bibutils.h"
#include "bibprogs.h"

using namespace v8;

void MyFunction(const FunctionCallbackInfo<Value>& args) {
  Isolate* isolate = Isolate::GetCurrent();
  HandleScope scope(isolate);
      /****This is not production code just to check the execution***/
      bibl b;   
      bibl_init( &b );
      bibl_free( &b );
      /**************************************************************/
  args.GetReturnValue().Set(String::NewFromUtf8(isolate, "hello world"));
}

void CreateFunction(const FunctionCallbackInfo<Value>& args) {
  Isolate* isolate = Isolate::GetCurrent();
  HandleScope scope(isolate);

  Local<FunctionTemplate> tpl = FunctionTemplate::New(isolate, MyFunction);
  Local<Function> fn = tpl->GetFunction();

  // omit this to make it anonymous
  fn->SetName(String::NewFromUtf8(isolate, "theFunction"));

  args.GetReturnValue().Set(fn);
}

Custom DNS answers

I'm currently working on a project for my summer internship and I've got to make an oblivious DNS translation server. I'm not here to speak about the oblivious part in detail but I'll explane the architecture of my program.

There is a server side that receives obfuscated requests and sends back an answer that it doesn't understand itself.

On the client side there is a proxy that translate requests into obfuscated requests. For that I use an iptables rule to send all DNS requests to a NFQUEUE, and then I work with libnetfilter_queue to handle the packet. After that I received the answer from the server I make a DNS answer with all the information I get (from the DNS request and from the server) and send it using libnet.

Now let's talk about my problem : When using my proxy I check the traffic with Wireshark and it seems that my proxy sends valid answers but if I try to browse the Internet with Firefox it doesn't work. You can find my code here : http://ift.tt/1SZL7pX

Is there a problem in my way of building DNS packets ?

Are there ready-to-use solutions (libraries, headers) or standard pattern/workflow for reading (a lot) input parameters? [on hold]

Heyho,

my situation

I have a quite big scientific c-program that needs a lot of input parameters reading out of a file. I have a "handmade" working version from the ones, working on the program before. But you have to keep a special order of the parameters, the formatted input file is kind of unhandy, adding of parameters is complicated and it is kind of error sensitive.

my ideas so far

If been looking for a while in different c introduction books and also in some advanced techniques guides, but nobody seems to write something about these kind of tasks.

The only thing, I could find, was the idea to use an external program that creates out of handy interface the sorted, unhandy to use directly input file I'm now using. But that takes more time and for adding/sorting/deleting parameters I have to change the program code and the input file generator.

my question

What kind of input handling strategy are there? Are there special coding techniques? Or a common workflow?

Please ask, if I have to specify things. I'm not use to common names and notations, sorry for that. Please correct me referring to this.

Handling Decimals on Embedded C

I have my code below and I want to ask what's the best way in solving numbers (division, multiplication, logarithm, exponents) up to 4 decimals places? I'm using PIC16F1789 as my device.

float sensorValue;
float sensorAverage;

void main(){
    //Get an average data by testing 100 times
    for(int x = 0; x < 100; x++){
        // Get the total sum of all 100 data
        sensorValue = (sensorValue + ADC_GetConversion(SENSOR));
    }

    // Get the average
    sensorAverage = sensorValue/100.0;
}

How to get disk name programmatically in Linux(Like "/dev/sda" or "/dev/sdb")?

I am trying out to find information related to Disk and partitions. Following are my code. But problem is that, I am passing disk name through command line by querying disk name from "/proc/partitions". Is there any api which can give me disk name as well.

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <err.h>
#include <blkid/blkid.h>

int main (int argc, char *argv[])
{
 blkid_probe pr;
 blkid_partlist ls;
 int nparts, i;

 pr = blkid_new_probe_from_filename(argv[1]);
 if (!pr)
 err(2, "faild to open device %s", argv[1]);

 ls = blkid_probe_get_partitions(pr);
 nparts = blkid_partlist_numof_partitions(ls);

for (i = 0; i < nparts; i++)
{
blkid_partition par = blkid_partlist_get_partition(ls, i);
printf("PartNo = %d\npart_start = %llu\npart_size =  %llu\npart_type = 0x%x\n",
blkid_partition_get_partno(par),
blkid_partition_get_start(par),
blkid_partition_get_size(par),
blkid_partition_get_type(par));
}

blkid_free_probe(pr);
return 0;

}

C file handling

I am just creating a basic file handling program. the code is this:

#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
FILE *p;
p=fopen("D:\\TENLINES.TXT","r");
if(p==0)
{
    printf("Error",);

}

fclose(p);
}

This is giving Error, I cannot create files tried reinstalling the compiler and using different locations and names for files but no success. I am using Windows 7 and compiler is Dev C++ version 5

Calling C from C#

I am from electric engineer background, therefore my knownledge is small about C#,DLL,etc.... I want to use c function into a C#. I know there is a couple post about that but I didn't find one that is enough simple.

Currently, I got C function call windows API to read/write on the USB port. First to create a .dll do I need a header file? Because I got the following function decleration function into a header. The examples that I saw on stack overflow and Internet only use a simple .c file, Can I get rid of the header files?

__declspec(dllexport) LMUSB_HANDLE  __stdcall InitializeDevice(unsigned short usVID,
                                    unsigned short usPID,
                                    LPGUID lpGUID,
                                    BOOL *pbDriverInstalled);
__declspec(dllexport) LMUSB_HANDLE  __stdcall InitializeDeviceByIndex(unsigned short usVID,
                                           unsigned short usPID,
                                           LPGUID lpGUID,
                                           DWORD dwIndex,
                                           BOOL bOpenDataEndpoints,
                                           BOOL *pbDriverInstalled);
__declspec(dllexport) BOOL  __stdcall TerminateDevice(LMUSB_HANDLE hHandle);
__declspec(dllexport) BOOL  __stdcall WriteUSBPacket(LMUSB_HANDLE hHandle,
                          unsigned char *pcBuffer,
                          unsigned long ulSize,
                          unsigned long *pulWritten);
__declspec(dllexport) DWORD  __stdcall ReadUSBPacket(LMUSB_HANDLE hHandle,
                         unsigned char *pcBuffer,
                         unsigned long ulSize,
                         unsigned long *pulRead,
                         unsigned long ulTimeoutMs,
                         HANDLE hBreak);
 __declspec(dllexport) BOOL  __stdcall Endpoint0Transfer(LMUSB_HANDLE hHandle, UCHAR ucRequestType,
                             UCHAR ucRequest, USHORT usValue,
                             USHORT usIndex, USHORT usLength,
                             PUCHAR pucBuffer, PUSHORT pusCount);

Second point, do I need to write __declspec(dllexport) in the cpp file? Here an function from the cpp:

extern "C" __declspec(dllexport) BOOL PASCAL EXPORT TerminateDevice(LMUSB_HANDLE hUSB)

I got no idea what "BOOL PASCAL EXPORT" does, this code is recycled from a furnisher project.

Finaly, when the DLL is properly build. How I import it in the C# project? I tried the following but without success :

[DllImport("lmusbdll.dll")]

I see that you could use right click on the project and add reference but Visual Studio pop-up an error message:

A reference to "DLL path" could not be added. Please make sure that the file is accessible, and that it is a valid assembly or COM component.

[EDIT]

I tried the following solution , but when I tried to reference the header file in my c# project. I still get the message that I cannot reference the file.

Data compare of files is wrong. Why? [on hold]

So, the thing is, this program checks if there are duplicate files in a directory. It uses mostly the windows.h library. To spare code, all the file paths are stored in the buffer finalizedList. The list is always correct, don't worry about it.

To show you the problem, here are the files in the directory:

• duplicate_delete.exe = The program itself
• hello.txt = The original text file
• hello - Copy.txt = A duplicate of "hello.txt". They are exactly the same.
• hello.cpp = A file that has the exact same name with the original text file, except its extension. (AKA "The Bad Guy")

Now, anytime I run the program while "hello.cpp" is in the directory, this is the output of the program:

Creating list...
Finalizing list...
Starting compare procedure...
Checking: duplicate_delete.exe vs. hello - Copy.txt --> DIFFERENT
Checking: duplicate_delete.exe vs. hello.cpp --> DIFFERENT
Checking: duplicate_delete.exe vs. hello.txt --> DIFFERENT
Checking: hello - Copy.txt vs. hello.cpp --> DIFFERENT
Checking: hello - Copy.txt vs. hello.txt --> DIFFERENT
Checking: hello.cpp vs. hello.txt --> DIFFERENT
Finished.
Press any key to continue . . .

But, when I delete that file the output is this:

Creating list...
Finalizing list...
Starting compare procedure...
Checking: duplicate_delete.exe vs. hello - Copy.txt --> DIFFERENT
Checking: duplicate_delete.exe vs. hello.txt --> DIFFERENT
Checking: hello - Copy.txt vs. hello.txt --> DUPLICATE
Finished.
Press any key to continue . . .

Now... Why does that happen? Or to put it in a better way, how can that happen?

Here are parts of the code:

#include <windows.h>
#include <stdio.h>

HANDLE file1, file2;
const WCHAR * finalizedList[] = { L"duplicate_delete.exe", L"hello - Copy.txt", L"hello.txt", L"hello.cpp" };
WCHAR deleteList[4][1024];
DWORD fileListP, deleteListP;

DWORD openFile1(WCHAR path[1024]);
DWORD openFile2(WCHAR path[1024]);
DWORD compare();
void startCompare();

int main(void)
{
    fileListP = 4;
    printf_s("Starting compare procedure...\n");
    startCompare();
    printf_s("Finished.\n");
    _fcloseall();
    system("pause");

    return 0;
}

DWORD openFile1(WCHAR path[1024])
{
    if ((file1 = CreateFile(path, GENERIC_READ, 0, NULL, OPEN_EXISTING, FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NORMAL, NULL)) == INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE) return 0;
    return 1;
}

DWORD openFile2(WCHAR path[1024])
{
    if ((file2 = CreateFile(path, GENERIC_READ, 0, NULL, OPEN_EXISTING, FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NORMAL, NULL)) == INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE) return 0;
    return 1;
}

DWORD compare()
{
    DWORD a, b;
    BYTE byte1, byte2;

    while (1)
    {
        ReadFile(file1, &byte1, 1, &a, NULL);
        ReadFile(file2, &byte2, 1, &b, NULL);
        if (a != b) return 1;
        if (byte2 != byte1) return 1;
        if (a == 0 && b == 0) break;
    }

    return 0;
}

void startCompare()
{
    WCHAR currentFile[1024], comparedFile[1024];
    DWORD i, j;
    i = 0;

    for (j = 0; j < fileListP; ++j)
    {
        lstrcpy(currentFile, finalizedList[j]);
        if (!openFile1(currentFile)) wprintf(L"File \"%ls\" couldn not be opened for comparing.\n", currentFile);
        else
        {
            for (i = j + 1; i < fileListP; ++i)
            {
                lstrcpy(comparedFile, finalizedList[i]);
                if (!openFile2(comparedFile)) wprintf(L"File \"%ls\" couldn not be compared with file \"%ls\".\n", currentFile, comparedFile);
                else
                {
                    if (!compare())
                    {
                        wprintf(L"Checking: %ls vs. %ls --> DUPLICATE\n", currentFile, comparedFile);
                        lstrcpy(deleteList[deleteListP], currentFile);
                        ++deleteListP;
                    }
                    else
                    {
                        wprintf(L"Checking: %ls vs. %ls --> DIFFERENT\n", currentFile, comparedFile);
                    }
                    CloseHandle(file2);
                }
            }
            CloseHandle(file1);
        }
    }
}

Now... Of course, when I'm to check the program without the hello.cpp file I just delete it from the finalizedList array and make fileListP equal to 3. This is the minimal code that will work.

OpenGL "glGenBuffers' cause segmentation fault

if I create a GLuint vao; that causes no problems, as soon as I try to do glGenBuffers(1, &vao); That line above keeps giving segmentation fault.

I even just updated to sdl 2.0.4 but i am really not sure what's going on now.

String permutation - How does this backtracking recursion work?

This function basically prints all possible permutations of a string by swapping a character with all its other characters. I understand the first two calls to swap and permute. But why is swap called for the second time? I cannot understand this piece of code. Can someone please explain me how this works?

/* Function to print permutations of string
   This function takes three parameters:
   1. String
   2. Starting index of the string
   3. Ending index of the string. */
void permute(char *a, int l, int r)
{
   int i;
   if (l == r)
     printf("%s\n", a);
   else
   {
       for (i = l; i <= r; i++)
       {
          swap((a+l), (a+i));
          permute(a, l+1, r);
          swap((a+l), (a+i)); //backtrack
       }
   }
}

Any help is appreciated. Thanks and regards.

Filling a polygon

I created this function that draws a simple polygon with n number of vertexes:

    double offset = Y;
    int lastx, lasty;

    double radius = sqrt(X * X + Y * Y);
    double quadrant = atan2(Y, X);

    int i;

    for (i = 1; i <= n; i++)
    {
        lastx = X; lasty = Y;
        quadrant = quadrant + pI * 2.0 / n;

        X = round((double)radius * cos(quadrant));

Why do I get different results when using libiconv over iconv binary?

Here is the sample string that I am using encoded in UCS-2:

abvgdđežzijklmnjoprstćuvhcčdžš1234567890*+;'

When converting UCS-2 to iso ISO-8859-1//TRANSLIT with iconv binary from file to file I get:

abvgd?ezzijklmnjoprstcuvhccdzs1234567890*+;'

Now I want to use libiconv in go project. I am using this library http://ift.tt/1VZ1bwG as bindings for libiconv. But when using bindings I get:

abvgd?e?zijklmnjoprst?uvhc?d??1234567890*+;'

It's like different transliteration rules apply when using library inside go.

I examined go bindings library and everything seems in order; only bytes are passed around so no "loss of information" could happen there.

Is there anything else that I should be aware of when using libiconv? Is there some environment context that could trigger different transliteration behaviour?

Beginner's Query: on C Function return value

I am trying to get some understanding about how pass by value & return are happening in C functions. I cam across a piece of code as follows:

#include <stdio.h>

int fun(int ii, int jj)
{
 int kk, ll;
 kk = ii + jj;
 ll = ii * jj;
 return (kk,ll);
}

int main()
{
 int i=4, j=5, k, l;
 k = fun(i, j);
 l = fun(i, j);
 printf("%d %d\n", k, l);
 return 0;
}

Now apparently I am not getting any errors when I am trying to return 2 values through

fun()

Also, the value that is returned by fun () is "ll" i.e 20 (=4*5) and not "kk". Further, If I rewrite the return statement as :

return (ll,kk);

the value returned is "kk" ie. 9 (=4+5). Query: Why this is so? Thanks!

Is uninitialized local variable the fastest random number generator?

I know the uninitialized local variable is undefined behaviour(UB), and also the value may have trap representations which may affect further operation, but sometimes I want to use the random number only for visual representation and will not further use them in other part of program, for example, set something with random color in a visual effect, for example:

void updateEffect(){
    for(int i=0;i<1000;i++){
        int r;
        int g;
        int b;
        star[i].setColor(r%255,g%255,b%255);
        bool isVisible;
        star[i].setVisible(isVisible);
    }
}

is it that faster than

void updateEffect(){
    for(int i=0;i<1000;i++){
        star[i].setColor(rand()%255,rand()%255,rand()%255);
        star[i].setVisible(rand()%2==0?true:false);
    }
}

and also faster than other random number generator?

Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64 on Xcode 6.3

I'am finalising an Open Source C coded CometD library, i thought it would be a good idea to open it to OSX/iOS users, like myself.

In order to ease up the work for OSX/iOS developers i wanted to switch from a static C library to a Xcode iOS Static Libary. So i followed advices found on the net, and generated a static iOS compatible library.

The problem is that, each time i try to use it i get an error of type :

Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64: ******, referenced from: -********** in *******.a(*******.o)

This error get repeated for almost every C function that i have in my library.

First i though maybe the library is not x86_64 compatible, empty, or really doesn't have any x86_64 symbol in it.

So i checked with a "lipo -info" on the library and here is the answer :

To really be sure i also used "nm -arch x86_64" on the library, and went fetching for several undefined functions reported by Xcode as errors. I thought i will be wrong and find nothing but guess what ? I found the symbols :

So my question is :

If the symbols are present in a x86_64 compatible library, why is Xcode prompting this error ? Even if i compile the library for all arm*/s types i still get this x86_64 error.

Am i unaware of something or am i just doing it wrong ?

Your answers are always appreciated.

Deadlock or waiting in a loop?

Folks,

I am trying to track why my application stops responding to events.

Some Background: The App in question My_C_Application is a (C application with both C and C++ code) it also referenced a .Net dll which exposes functionality as COM objects, these are register using regasm and the associated tlh is used to resolve these classes to load and use. The app also uses a third party Messaging library IPWorks, we use the SSL version for c++ here and this talks to other systems which are .net based over IP. These other systems use the .Net version of IpWorks, My_C_Application acts as the business logic engine and the other apps handle Data, GUI etc.

This all seems to work fine in testing & in many client sites, in some client sites we are getting reports where the GUI is not responding to an clicks (now we have seen this occur on site, the GUI is hanndling the Key Presses and dispatches its messages approiately) It seems My_C_Application is not handling/ receiving the events.

We caught this issue and using procdump -mp we got a dump to analyze.

I automate this for Crashes with our own application which calls out to the console version of windbg, we execute the following commands for a crash :

!analyze -v; .ecxr;

Now i understand this will be of no use for a hang, so i execute additional commands after this has setup the symbol paths for me etc.

Is there anything of use in the above output that i can use?

Now the code we have is the exact code that is running on site, the EXE was however re-built on another PC for debuging so the symbols dont seem to load, we have seen this before so we execute the following commands:

Now we should have the symbols loaded correctly, if i execute kv we see the following:

Does WaitForMultipleObjects indicate a deadlock (waiting for a Lock/CriticalSection/Mutex) ??

I was expecting to see a while loop locked up in My_C_Application but i dont, i ran ~* kp but none of these threads appear to be looping or locked in My_C_Application.

    :000> ~* kp

Is there any other commands i can run to figure out where this Lock/Loop is called from in My_C_Application??

Two programs running the same function twice, One can handle it, One can't. Why? C

I'm cross-posting this with the arduino exchange because i'm not sure if it's a problem with my C or something else entirely.

I'm attempting to communicate over wifi using the process library (Part of the arduino yun's librarys) And I'm calling the same functions in the same way in two programs. One program works the other doesn't.

These are the functions:

Process p;    // Create a process and call it "p"
p.begin("curl");  // Process that launch the "curl" command
p.addParameter(b); // Add the URL parameter to "curl"
p.run();    // Run the process and wait for its termination
Console.flush();
Console.println("CurlSetup");
while (p.available() > 0) {
  //Stuff
}

I have successfully called the functions once in my more complicated program but ran into trouble when I tried using the functions twice. I then found the example of using these functions in the IDE and changed it slightly to run the functions twice in the program (to mirror my own program).

My code console printout:

Create String:http://ift.tt/1E69hs4
"102N"
1Nodeid: 102
Nodeid: 102
0
apikey=xxxx
&node=102
&json=0x0201,0x0000,0x019,0x0
http://ift.tt/1SHLUkD
Breaks
Here
http://ift.tt/1SHLUkH
http://ift.tt/1E69hs6
http://ift.tt/1SHLUkJ
CurlSetup

Just to clarify, this should produce a much larger print out. My program just stops and crashes at this point. The print out of a successful run through would be 2-3 times longer than this.

Modified working example printout:

Unable to connect: retrying (1)... 
Unable to connect: retrying (2)... connected!

It also breaks either the arduino or the IDE. After running my code and trying to upload more code to the arduino, I get the following error:

avrdude: verification error, first mismatch at byte 0x0000
         0xff != 0x0c
avrdude: verification error; content mismatch

In the IDE and it refuses to upload the code to the arduino.

string handling in c and C++ mix programming

I want to use an API from a library. I am confused about its second argument.

    cs_disasm(handle,(const uint8_t*)("\xff\x43\x12\xd1"),4 , 0x0, 1, &insn);

The above code works fine. "\xff\x43\x12\xd1", this string represents a machine code. I want this API to accept arbitrary machine code. What I have now is an

uint32_t machine_code. I use it as follow, but not work.
std::stringstream ss;
ss<< std::hex  << setfill('0') << setw(2) <<  (int)(machine_code&0xff); // int decimal_value
std::string res1 ( ss.str() );
ss.str(std::string());
//cout << res1 << endl;

ss<< std::hex << setfill('0') << setw(2) << (int)((machine_code>>8)&0xff); // int decimal_value
std::string res2 ( ss.str() );
ss.str(std::string());


ss<< std::hex << setfill('0') << setw(2)  << (int)((machine_code>>16)&0xff); // int decimal_value
std::string res3 ( ss.str() );
ss.str(std::string());

ss<< std::hex << setfill('0') << setw(2) << (int)((machine_code>>24)&0xff); // int decimal_value
std::string res4 ( ss.str() );
string modified_machine_code = "\\x"+ res1 +"\\x"+  res2 +"\\x"+ res3 +"\\x"+ res4;
cs_disasm(hao_handle,(const uint8_t*)(modified_machine_code.c_str()),4 , 0x0, 1, &hao_insn);

What is the problem with my code? If you have a better solution, that is also great.

Threads creation in C

void print_hello_world() {
    pid_t pid = getpid();
    printf("Hello world %d\n", pid);
    pthread_exit(0);
}

void main() {
    pthread_t thread;
    pthread_create(&thread, NULL, (void *) &print_hello_world, NULL);
    print_hello_world();
}

I really couldn't understand what is the need of (void *) in pthread_create. And do we need "&print_hello_world" in the same or could drop "&" as I have read somewhere that while passing function pointers we don't need to place "&" before the function name.

Trouble with a switch function menu using structs in C

The program compiles fine however there are a few issues that come up...

1. The calculations will not print out properly.
2. After making a selection the menu will run again automatically without asking for input.
3. Edit employees does not overwrite current employee only adds another to the list.

Hex to int conversion of input data using C program

I am trying to convert a hexadecimal data coming from a port( stored in a buffer) into integer format using C program. Before converting from buffer, I wanted to test my code by giving some input in the program. The following is the program I am using from a online source.

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int hexToInt(char s[]) {
int hexdigit, i, inhex, n;    
i=0;

if(s[i] == '0') {
    ++i;
    if(s[i] == 'x' || s[i] == 'X'){            
        ++i;
    }
}

n = 0;
inhex = 1;
for(; inhex == 1; ++i) {
    if(s[i] >= '0' && s[i] <= '9') {            
        hexdigit = s[i] - '0';
    } else if(s[i] >= 'a' && s[i] <= 'f') {            
        hexdigit = s[i] - 'a' + 10;
    } else if(s[i] >= 'A' && s[i] <= 'F') {
        hexdigit = s[i] - 'A' + 10;
    } else {
        inhex = 0;
    }

    if(inhex == 1) {
        n = 16 * n + hexdigit;
    }
}

return n;
}

int main(int argc, char** argv) {

char hex[] = "93 BC";
int digit = hexToInt(hex);
printf("The Integer is %d", digit);

return 0;
}

When I run this program it converts one input of Hexadecimal into a integer. But If I had to convert of array of hex input like the below:

00 00 00 05 00 00 00 01 93 BC C0 06 00 00 00 00         ................
00 28 17 00 FC 26 CC 62 00 00 00 07 00 00 00 01         .(...&.b........
00 00 00 D0 00 E3 37 19 00 00 00 1D 00 00 01 00         ......7.........
AB B6 CD 14 00 11 1F 3C 00 00 00 1D 00 00 00 00         .......<........
00 00 00 02 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 90 00 00 00 01         ................
00 00 05 EE 00 00 00 04 00 00 00 80 F0 92 1C 48         ...........�...H
C2 00 00 0E 0C 30 C7 C7 08 00 45 00 05 DC 32 70         .....0....E...2p
40 00 2D 06 41 C8 2D 3A 4A 01 93 BC C8 EC 01 BB         @.-.A.-:J.......
C1 58 C5 8D 53 88 05 72 46 E6 80 10 00 53 DC 34 

Then how I can convert it into corresponding integer values?

An efficient way of reading integers from file

I'd like to read all integers from a file into the one list/array. All numbers are separated by space (one or more) or end line character (one or more). What is the most efficient and/or elegant way of doing this? Functions from c++ library are prohibited.

I did it this way:

/* We assume that 'buffer' is big enaugh */
int i = 0;
while(fscanf(fp, "%d", &buffer[i]) != EOF) {
    ++i;
}

Sample data:

1   2     3
 4 56
    789         
9          91 56

How to increase the potential value of an variable in a 16 bit machine using C

I have created a binary to decimal converter but even small numbers written in binary have many digits and thus are too large to be held by an integer variable on a 16 bit machine. Is there any way around this. The program is in C. Here is the code, thanks:

#include<stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>
#include<stdlib.h>

void main()
{
 clrscr();
 int a,b,d=0,x=1;
 int check(int y);
 printf("Enter your number in Binary:");
 scanf("%d",&a);
 if(check(a)==0)
 {
  printf("Number tolerable. Conversion Process Initiated.");
 }
 else 
 {
  printf("Number not binary. Try again.");
  exit(1);
 }

 while(a!=0)
 {
   if(a%10==1)
    {
     d=d+x;
    }
   a=a/10;
   x=x*2;
 }
 printf("\nDecimal:%d",d);
 getch();
}

int check(int y)
{
  while(y!=0)
  {
   if(y%10!=0&&y%10!=1)
   {
    return 1;
   }
   else
   {
    y=y/10;
   }
  }
 return 0;
}

Java implementation in C (maybe platform-specific)

I've had a look at Ruby's implementation in C to learn more about it's object model and the way it implements object-oriented programming. I'd like to find something similar for Java. I understand that Java works very differently with the translation to bytecodes, the JVM and all the stuff.

Is there a source code (maybe in C) from which I can learn OOP concepts in Java (maybe for a particular implementation)? (I'm very interested for instance in how that implementation manages inheritance which is not specified by the standard)

Visual Studio 2015: C++ decorations despite extern "C"

I'm trying to use an SDK from that I have a H and OBJ file. The H file declares all functions as extern "C", yet while linking, I get "Can't resolve external symbol _ibclr@4". The function is called ibclr and takes a 4B-parameter, so it looks like that's just the C++ decoration. But how is extern "C" not working?

How to determine the starting byte of http header in a raw packet?

I am developing a networking application in C. I have the fields and starting byte of the ethernet header, IPV4 header and TCP header. How to get the starting byte (pointer) to the HTTP header?

Replace nested functions

I created a c program which uses nested functions from the gnu extension a lot and now I want to make them standard conform with ansi c.

What's the best way to transform nested functions, which access some outer vars to something different.

#define lambda(return_type, function_body) \
({ \
    return_type __fn__ function_body \
    __fn__; \
})

example usage

size_t var1;
size_t var2;
lambda(void, (...) {
    // some code
    lambda(void, (...) {
        // ...
        // do something with var1/var2
        // ..
    }

    // ...
    // do something with var1/var2
}

I thought about moving the vars to global scope, so they are known from each "lambda" which would maybe the easiest solution, but I dont want to polute the global scope and I'm not sure, if this is the cleanest way.

---

As asked by some commenters - here's a concrete example

/* fill itt*/
int n_method = 0;
void *add_method = lambda(void, (ir_entity *method) {
    int itable_offset = n_method++;
    const char *method_name = get_entity_name(method);

    ir_entity *implementation = get_method_entity(klass, method_name);
    if (implementation == NULL) {
        walk_up_callback(klass, lambda(bool, (ir_type *st) {
            implementation = get_method_entity(st, method_name);
            if (implementation != NULL) {
                insert_itable_method(implementation, itable_offset, interface, init);
            }
            return implementation == NULL;
        }), NULL);
    } else {
        insert_itable_method(implementation, itable_offset, interface, init);
    }
});

walk_up_callback(interface, NULL, lambda(void, (ir_type *klass) {
    if (oo_get_class_is_interface(klass)) {
        walk_table_methods_callback(add_method, klass);
    }
}));
walk_table_methods_callback(add_method, interface);

It's a part of a compiler which creates some itables for efficient interface lookups

Can I declare an array first and give its value later?

I tried doing this but got an error. Why can't I do this?

return 0;
}

How to replace letters in a string with specific integer values?

I have a wriiten a C program that contains a char array 'long_string' that looks something like this.

 long_string[16] = "AHDAHDAHDAHDAHDA";

I wish to replace the letters in the string as follows: A-0, H-1, D-2.

Could somebody tell me how could I achieve this? I tried to look online but most of the cases show the conversion of letters to there ASCII values which is not what I need. THank you for your time in advance :)
