Possible Duplicate:Is there a better way than parsing /proc/self/maps to figure out memory protection?
I have a pointer and I want to check if the referenced memory is readable, writeable and/or executable. How can I do this?
|
You will have to parse the file/proc/self/mapswhich contains memory mappings of your process, and check which of the mappings lie within the value of your pointer (if any). The/proc/self/mapsfile contains the memory protection (read/write/execute).
Seethis questionfor more info about the maps file.

I am looking for a way to make a program in C or C++ that detects if there was any files altered, renamed, moved or deleted in a specified directory for Linux systems. Is there a way to do that?
|
You wantinotify(and itsman page.)

Given
```
struct S {
SomeType single_element_in_the_struct;
};
```
Is it always true that
```
sizeof(struct S) == sizeof(SomeType)
```
Or it may be implementation dependent?
|
This will usually be the case, but it's not guaranteed.
Any struct may have unnamed padding bytes at the end of the struct, but these are usually used for alignment purposes, which isn't a concern if you only have a single element.

Why do the functions displayed in a callstack generated in Solaris always contain 6 parameters?

I believe, depending on your version of Solaris (64 bit?), that the calling convention specifies the first 6 parameters of a function be passed by registers. Even if they're not being used, your debugger may just be showing the contents of these 6 registers.

The getpwent() function returns a pointer to a structure containing the

Whats the difference between aNull pointer& aVoid pointer?

Null pointeris a special reservedvalueof a pointer. A pointer of any type has such a reserved value. Formally, each specific pointer type (int *,char *etc.) has its own dedicated null-pointer value. Conceptually, when a pointer has that null value it is not pointing anywhere.
Void pointeris a specific pointertype-voi... |
I thought I read about a C standard library function recently that was able to return a pointer to any extern variable whose name was passed to it as a const char *. I think that it works via linker symbols, if that helps.

Can someone please point me to some documentation on the virtual memory maps used for Linux and Windows. By that I mean what virtual addresses, code, writable static data, the stack and the heap (along with other kernel bits) will normally be placed in, in a typical process?

This may be a stupid question but how does the sizeof operator know the size of an array operand when you don't pass in the amount of elements in the array. I know it doesn't return the total elements in the array but the size in bytes, but to get that it still has to know when the array ends. Just curious as to how... |
sizeofis interpreted at compile time, and the compiler knows how the array was declared (and thus how much space it takes up). Callingsizeofon a dynamically-allocated array will likely not do what you want, because (as you mention) the end point of the array is not specified.

Simple code:

ATOM atom = GlobalAddAtom(L"TestCpp1");

It returns 0 and GetLastError returns 0x5 (Access Denied). Nothing on MSDN about it.
This is on Win7. Admin rights make no difference.
Same code works on XP. AddAtom (local) works on Win7.
What's causing this?

Is this a GUI or Console application? One thing you might try is to explicity call LoadLibrary("User32") before calling GlobalAddAtom.

My understanding is that C++ reinterpret_cast and C pointer cast is a just

It's a good assumption to start with. However, the optimizer may be restricted in what it can assume in the presence of areinterpret_cast<>or C pointer cast. Then, even though the cast itself has no associated instructions, the resulting code is slower.
For instance, if you cast an int to a pointer, the optimizer lik... |

because 'floats' is a bad pointer. Sure, you declared the pointer, but you haven't allocated any memory, so wherever it happens to point will be invalid.

Is it possible? i.e. compile .c with dmc and .d with dmd and then link them together, will this work? Will I be able to call D functions from C code, share globals etc? Thanks.

Yes it is possible. In fact this is one of the main feature of dmd. To call a D function from C, just make that functionextern(C), e.g.
```
// .d
import std.c.stdio;
extern (C) {
shared int x; // Globals without 'shared' are thread-local in D2.
// You don't need shared in D1.

I want to write a program for finding out the sum of first and the last digit of any number entered through keyboard. For example, I entered 52264. Output must be5+4 = 9.
Yes, this is an assignment.
|
Well, the last digit's easy enough to figure out, right?
```
int lastDigit = input % 10;
```
As for the first digit, I'm not sure about the most efficient way to get that. The first thought that immediately springs to my mind is:
```
int firstDigit = input;
while (firstDigit >= 10)
{
firstDigit /= 10;
}

A linked list is simply a list of elements (usually called nodes) where each node has a reference (or pointers, in C) to the next node:

My understanding is that after you've called accept(), you then have to configure the socket for use with OpenSSL - assuming you've also already configured the library for use as well.
After that, you can use SSL_read() and SSL_write() instead of read() and write().
