99,297 | <p>We all know what virtual functions are in C++, but how are they implemented at a deep level?</p>
<p>Can the vtable be modified or even directly accessed at runtime?</p>
<p>Does the vtable exist for all classes, or only those that have at least one virtual function? </p>
<p>Do abstract classes simply have a NULL for the function pointer of at least one entry?</p>
<p>Does having a single virtual function slow down the whole class? Or only the call to the function that is virtual? And does the speed get affected if the virtual function is actually overwritten or not, or does this have no effect so long as it is virtual.</p>

99,315 | <p>What if a Java allow both static and dynamic types. That might allow the best of both worlds. i.e.:</p>
<pre><code>String str = "Hello";
var temp = str;
temp = 10;
temp = temp * 5;
</code></pre>
<ol>
<li>Would that be possible?</li>
<li>Would that be beneficial?</li>
<li>Do any languages currently support both and how well does it work out?</li>
</ol>
<p>Here is a better example (generics can't be used but the program does know the type):</p>
<pre><code>var username = HttpServletRequest.getSession().getAttribute("username");//Returns a String
if(username.length() == 0) {
//Error
}

99,350 | <p>Is there an easy way to marshal a PHP associative array to and from XML? For example, I have the following array:</p>
<pre><code>$items = array("1", "2",
array(
"item3.1" => "3.1",
"item3.2" => "3.2"
"isawesome" => true
)
);
</code></pre>
<p>How would I turn it into something similar to the following XML in as few lines as possible, then back again?</p>
<pre><code><items>
<item>1</item>
<item>2</item>
<item>
<item3_1>3.1</item3_1>
<item3_2>3.2</item3_2>
<isawesome>true</isawesome>
</item>
</items>
</code></pre>
<p>I don't really care if I have to change the array structure a bit or if the XML that comes out is different to the above example. I've been trying to work with PHP's <a href="http://php.net/manual/en/book.xmlreader.php" rel="noreferrer">XMLReader</a> and <a href="http://php.net/manual/en/book.xmlwriter.php" rel="noreferrer">XMLWriter</a>, but the documentation is so poor and the code I've produced as a consequence looks nothing like what I feel it should look like:</p>
<pre><code>$xml = SomeXMLWriter::writeArrayToXml($items);
$array = SomeXMLWriter::writeXmlToArray($xml);
</code></pre>
<p>Does it really have to be any harder than that to get a basic, raw XML dump of a PHP array without writing my own custom class?</p>
<p>I try to avoid PEAR. In addition to the configuration headaches I've had with it, I've never stuck with any of the packages I've ever used from it.</p>

99,468 | <p>I am retrieving multiple rows into a listview control from an ODBC source. For simple SELECTs it seems to work well with a statement attribute of SQL_SCROLLABLE. How do I do this with a UNION query (with two selects)?</p>
<p>The most likely server will be MS SQL Server (probably 2005). The code is C for the Win32 API.</p>
<p>This code sets (what I think is) a server side cursor which feeds data into the ODBC driver that roughly corresponds with the positional fetches of SQLFetchScroll, which is turn feeds the cache for the listview. (Sometimes using SQL_FETCH_FIRST or SQL_FETCH_LAST as well as):</p>
<pre>
SQLSetStmtAttr(hstmt1Fetch,
SQL_ATTR_CURSOR_SCROLLABLE,
(SQLPOINTER)SQL_SCROLLABLE,
SQL_IS_INTEGER);
SQLSetStmtAttr(hstmt1Fetch,
SQL_ATTR_CURSOR_SENSITIVITY,
(SQLPOINTER)SQL_INSENSITIVE,
SQL_IS_INTEGER);
...
retcode = SQLGetStmtAttr(hstmt1Fetch,
SQL_ATTR_ROW_NUMBER,
&CurrentRowNumber,
SQL_IS_UINTEGER,
NULL);
...
retcode = SQLFetchScroll(hstmt1Fetch, SQL_FETCH_ABSOLUTE, Position);
</pre>
<p>(The above is is a fragment from working code for a single SELECT).</p>
<p>Is this the best way to do it? Given that I need to retrieve the last row to get the number of rows and populate the end buffer is there a better way of doing it? (Can I use forward only scrolling?)</p>
<p>Assuming yes to the above, how do I achieve the same result with a UNION query?</p>
<p>LATE EDIT: The problem with the union query being that effectively it forces forward only scrolling which breaks SQLFetchScroll(hstmt1Fetch, SQL_FETCH_ABSOLUTE, Position). The answer is I suspect: "you can't". And it really means redesigning the DB to included either a view or a single table to replace the UNION. But I'll leave the question open in case I have missed something.</p>

99,488 | <p>If I'm writing an application that wants to communicate some information through the use of color, how can I change the background and foreground colors of a given widget? I would like to know how to do this in glade if it's possible, as well as programmatically (to a computed color).</p>
<p>I want to know how to do this to a complex widget as well, for example, an <code>HBox</code> that contains a <code>VBox</code> that contains some <code>Labels</code>.</p>
<p>Ideally this would also include a solution solution that allows me to <em>tint</em> the widget's existing colors, and identify the average colors of any images in use by the theme, so that I can programmatically compensate for any color choices which might make text unreadable or otherwise clashing - but I would be happy if I could just turn a button red.</p>

99,542 | <p>How do I correct for floating point error in the following physical simulation:</p>
<ul>
<li>Original point (x, y, z),</li>
<li>Desired point (x', y', z') after forces are applied.</li>
<li>Two triangles (A, B, C) and (B, C, D), who share edge BC</li>
</ul>
<p>I am using this method for collision detection:</p>
<pre><code>For each Triangle
If the original point is in front of the current triangle, and the desired point is behind the desired triangle:
Calculate the intersection point of the ray (original-desired) and the plane (triangle's normal).
If the intersection point is inside the triangle edges (!)
Respond to the collision.
End If
End If
Next Triangle
</code></pre>
<p>The problem I am having is that sometimes the point falls into the grey area of floating point math where it is so close to the line BC that it fails to collide with either triangle, even though technically it should always collide with one or the other since they share an edge. When this happens the point passes right between the two edge sharing triangles. I have marked one line of the code with <strong>(!)</strong> because I believe that's where I should be making a change.</p>
<p>One idea that works in very limited situations is to skip the edge testing. Effectively turning the triangles into planes. This only works when my meshes are convex hulls, but I plan to create convex shapes.</p>
<p>I am specifically using the dot product and triangle normals for all of my front-back testing.</p>

<blockquote>
<p>(1) Display series of numbers

loop. The program should quit if
someone hits a specific key (Say
ESCAPE key).</p>

<p>Of course the infinite loop is not a big problem, but the rest is. How could I grab a key hit in D/Tango? In tango FAQ it says use C function kbhit() or get(), but as I know, these are not in C standard library, and does not exist in glibc which come with my Linux machine which I use to programming.</p>
<p>I know I can use some 3rd party library like <a href="http://www.gnu.org/software/ncurses/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">ncurses</a>, but it has same problem just like kbhit() or get(), it is not standard library in C or D and not pre-installed on Windows. What I hope is that I could done this exercise use just D/Tango and could run it on both Linux and Windows machine.</p>
<p>How could I do it?</p>

99,560 | <p>I am working on a Rails application that needs to handle dates and times in users' time zones. We have recently migrated it to Rails 2.1 and added time zone support, but there are numerous situations in which we use Time#utc and then compare against that time. Wouldn't that be the same as comparing against the original Time object?</p>
<p>When is it appropriate to use Time#utc in Rails 2.1? When is it inappropriate?</p>

99,643 | <p>After applying a CSS reset, I want to get back to 'normal' behavior for html elements like: p, h1..h6, strong, ul and li.</p>
<p>Now when I say normal I mean e.g. the p element adds spacing or a carriage return like result when used, or the size of the font and boldness for a h1 tag, along with the spacing.</p>
<p>I realize it is totally up to me how I want to set the style, but I want to get back to normal behavior for some of the more common elements (at least as a starting point that I can tweak later on).</p>

99,683 | <p>My question is what do most developers prefer for error handling, Exceptions or Error Return Codes. Please be language(or language family) specific and why you prefer one over the other.</p>
<p>I'm asking this out of curiosity. Personally I prefer Error Return Codes since they are less explosive and don't force user code to pay the exception performance penalty if they don't want to.</p>
<p>update: thanks for all the answers! I must say that although I dislike the unpredictability of code flow with exceptions. The answer about return code (and their elder brother handles) do add lots of Noise to the code.</p>

99,684 | <p>The most basic task in an object oriented environment is executing a method on an object. To do this, you have to have a reference to the object on which you are invoking the method. Is the proper way to establish this reference to pass the object as a parameter to the constructor (or initializer method) of the calling object?</p>
<p>If object <code> foo </code> calls into object <code> bar</code>, is it correct to say (in pseudo-code):</p>
<pre><code>bar = new barClass()
foo = new fooClass(bar)
</code></pre>
<p>What happens if you need to pass messages back and forth? Do you need a method for registering the target object?</p>
<pre><code>foo = new fooClass()
bar = new barClass()
foo.register(bar)
bar.register(foo)
</code></pre>
<p>Is there a pattern that addresses this?</p>

99,686 | <p>From <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generic_programming" rel="noreferrer">Wikipedia</a>: </p>
<blockquote>
<p>Generic programming is a style of
computer programming in which
algorithms are written in terms of
to-be-specified-later types that are
then instantiated when needed for
specific types provided as parameters
and was pioneered by Ada which
appeared in 1983. This approach
permits writing common functions or
types that differ only in the set of
types on which they operate when used,
thus reducing duplication.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Generics provide the ability to define types that are specified later. You don't have to cast items to a type to use them because they are already typed.</p>
<p>Why does C# and VB have Generics? What benefit do they provide? What benefits do you find using them?</p>
<p>What other languages also have generics?</p>

99,688 | <p>One of the biggest advantages of object-oriented programming is encapsulation, and one of the "truths" we've (or, at least, I've) been taught is that members should always be made private and made available via accessor and mutator methods, thus ensuring the ability to verify and validate the changes.</p>
<p>I'm curious, though, how important this really is in practice. In particular, if you've got a more complicated member (such as a collection), it can be very tempting to just make it public rather than make a bunch of methods to get the collection's keys, add/remove items from the collection, etc.</p>
<p>Do you follow the rule in general? Does your answer change depending on whether it's code written for yourself vs. to be used by others? Are there more subtle reasons I'm missing for this obfuscation?</p>

99,827 | <p>I'm interested in tracing database calls made by LINQ to SQL back to the .NET code that generated the call. For instance, a DBA might have a concern that a particular cached execution plan is doing poorly. If for example a DBA were to tell a developer to address the following code...</p>
<pre><code>exec sp_executesql N'SELECT [t0].[CustomerID]
FROM [dbo].[Customers] AS [t0]
WHERE [t0].[ContactName] LIKE @p0
ORDER BY [t0].[CompanyName]',
'N'@p0 nvarchar(2)',@p0=N'c%'
</code></pre>
<p>...it's not immediately obvious which LINQ statement produced the call. Sure you could search through the "Customers" class in the auto-generated data context, but that'd just be a start. With a large application this could quickly become unmanageable.</p>
<p>Is there a way to attach an ID or label to SQL code generated and executed by LINQ to SQL? Thinking out loud, here's an extension function called "TagWith" that illustrates conceptually what I'm interested in doing.</p>
<pre><code>var customers = from c in context.Customers
where c.CompanyName.StartsWith("c")
orderby c.CompanyName
select c.CustomerID;
foreach (var CustomerID in customers.TagWith("CustomerList4"))
{
Console.WriteLine(CustomerID);
}
</code></pre>
<p>If the "CustomerList4" ID/label ends up in the automatically-generated SQL, I'd be set. Thanks.</p>

<p>Currently, I'm using WMI to query various hardware parameters and concatenate them together and hash them to derive the unique id. My question is, what are the suggested parameters I should use?
Currently, I'm using a combination of bios\cpu\disk data to generate the unique id. And am using the first result if multiple results are there for each metric.</p>
<p>However, I ran into an issue where a machine that dual boots into 2 different Windows OS generates different site codes on each OS, which should ideally not happen.</p>
<p>For reference, these are the metrics I'm currently using:</p>
<pre><code>Win32_Processor:UniqueID,ProcessorID,Name,Manufacturer,MaxClockSpeed
Win32_BIOS:Manufacturer
Win32_BIOS:SMBIOSBIOSVersion,IdentificationCode,SerialNumber,ReleaseDate,Version
Win32_DiskDrive:Model, Manufacturer, Signature, TotalHeads

<li>In the application we have something about 30 types of objects that are created repeatedly. </li>
<li>Some of them have long life (hours) some have short (milliseconds). </li>
<li>Objects could be created in one thread and destroyed in another.</li>
</ol>
<p>Does anybody have any clue what could be good pooling technique in the sense of minimal creation/destruction latency, low lock contention and reasonable memory utilization?</p>
<p>Append 1.</p>
<p>1.1. Object pool/memory allocations for one type usually is not related to another type (see 1.3 for an exception)</p>
<p>1.2. Memory allocation is performed for only one type (class) at time, usually for several objects at time. </p>
<p>1.3. If a type aggregates another type using pointer (for some reason) these types allocated together in the one continuous piece of memory.</p>
<p>Append 2.</p>
<p>2.1. Using a collection with access serialization per type is known to be worse than new/delete.</p>
<p>2.2. Application is used on different platforms/compilers and cannot use compiler/platform specific tricks.</p>
<p>Append 3.</p>
<p>It becomes obvious that the fastest (with lowest latency) implementation should organize object pooling as star-like factories network. Where the central factory is global for other thread specific factories. Regular object provision/recycling is more effective to do in a thread specific factory while the central factory could be used for object balancing between threads. </p>
<p>3.1. What is the most effective way to organize communications between the central factory and thread specific factories? </p>

100,007 | <p>When logging with Log4Net it's very easy to put class that called the log into the log file. I've found in the past that this makes it very easy to trace through the code and see the flow through the classes. In Log4Net I use the %logger property in the conversion pattern like so: </p>
<pre><code><conversionPattern value="%date [%thread] %-5level %logger [%property{NDC}] - %message%newline" />
</code></pre>
<p>And this gives me the output I want: </p>
<p><code>2008-09-19 15:40:26,906 [3132] ERROR <b>Log4NetTechDemo.Tester</b> [(null)] - Failed method</code></p>
<p>You can see from the output that the class that has called the log is Log4NetTechDemo.Tester, so I can trace the error back to that class quite easily.</p>
<p>In the Logging Applicaton Block I cannot figure out how to do this with a simple log call. Does anyone know how it can be done? If so, an example or steps to do so would be very helpful.</p>

Of course doing this is trivial for canvas applications, but I need this for showing on the Facebook Page. All the RSS apps I've taken a look at either dont update or dont work on Facebook Pages. </p>

100,048 | <p>I have two unsorted lists and I need to produce another list which is sorted and where all the elements are unique.</p>
<p>The elements can occur multiple times in both lists and they are originally unsorted.</p>
<p>My function looks like this:</p>
<pre><code>(defun merge-lists (list-a list-b sort-fn)
"Merges two lists of (x, y) coordinates sorting them and removing dupes"
(let ((prev nil))

ret-val))
(sort
(merge 'list list-a list-b sort-fn) ;'
sort-fn))))

<p>Is there a better way to achieve the same?</p>

100,104 | <p>I've written a small hello world test app in Silverlight which i want to host on a Linux/Apache2 server. I want the data to come from MySQL (or some other linux compatible db) so that I can databind to things in the db.</p>
<p>I've managed to get it working by using the <a href="http://www.mysql.com/products/connector/net/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">MySQL Connector/.NET</a>:</p>
<pre><code>MySqlConnection conn = new MySqlConnection("Server=the.server.com;Database=theDb;User=myUser;Password=myPassword;");
conn.Open();
MySqlCommand command = new MySqlCommand("SELECT * FROM test;", conn);
using (MySqlDataReader reader = command.ExecuteReader())
{
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
while (reader.Read())
{
sb.AppendLine(reader.GetString("myColumn"));
}
this.txtResults.Text = sb.ToString();
}
</code></pre>
<p>This works fine if I give the published ClickOnce app full trust (or at least SocketPermission) and <strong>run it locally</strong>. </p>
<p>I want this to run on the server and I can't get it to work, always ending up with permission exception (SocketPermission is not allowed).</p>
<p>The database is hosted on the same server as the silverlight app if that makes any difference.</p>
<p><strong>EDIT</strong>
Ok, I now understand why it's a bad idea to have db credentials in the client app (obviously). How do people do this then? How do you secure the proxy web service so that it relays data to and from the client/db in a secure way? Are there any examples out there on the web?</p>
<p>Surely, I cannot be the first person who'd like to use a database to power a silverlight application?</p>

<p>It occurs when the jboss server in which the servlet is deployed is started.
It is compiled with jdk-1.5.0_11 and I tried to recompile it with jdk-1.5.0_15 without succes. That is the compilation runs fine but when deployed, the java.lang.VerifyError occurs.</p>
<p>When I changed the method name and got the following error:</p>
<pre><code>java.lang.VerifyError: (class: be/post/ehr/wfm/application/serviceorganization/report/DisplayReportServlet, method: getMD signature: (IILjava/util/Collection;Lj ava/util/Collection;Ljava/util/HashMap;Ljava/util/Collection;Ljava/util/Locale;Lorg/apache/struts/util/MessageResources ØÅN|ØÅNÚw€mçw€mX#ÖM|XÔM

</code></pre>
<p>You can see that more of the method signature is shown.</p>
<p>The actual method signature is</p>
<pre><code> private PgasePdfTable getMonthData(int month, int year, Collection dayTypes,
Collection calendarDays,
HashMap bcSpecialDays,
Collection activityPeriods,
Locale locale, MessageResources resources) throws Exception {
</code></pre>
<p>I already tried looking at it with <code>javap</code> and that gives the method signature as it should be.</p>
<p>When my other colleagues check out the code, compile it and deploy it, they have the same problem. When the build server picks up the code and deploys it on development or testing environments (HPUX), the same error occurs. Also an automated testing machine running Ubuntu shows the same error during server startup.</p>
<p>The rest of the application runs okay, only that one servlet is out of order.
Any ideas where to look would be helpful.</p>

100,161 | <p>I was happily using Eclipse 3.2 (or as happy as one can be using Eclipse) when for a forgotten reason I decided to upgrade to 3.4. I'm primarily using PyDev, Aptana, and Subclipse, very little Java development.</p>
<p>I've noticed 3.4 tends to really give my laptop a hernia compared to 3.2 (vista, core2duo, 2G). Is memory usage on 3.4 actually higher than on 3.2, and if so is there a way to reduce it?</p>
<p>EDIT: I tried disabling plugins (I didn't have much enabled anyway) and used the jvm monitor; the latter was interesting but I couldn't figure out how to use the info in any practical way. I'm still not able to reduce its memory footprint. I've also noticed every once in a while Eclipse just hangs for ~30 seconds, then magically comes back.</p>

100,210 | <p>Given a <code>datetime.time</code> value in Python, is there a standard way to add an integer number of seconds to it, so that <code>11:34:59</code> + 3 = <code>11:35:02</code>, for example?</p>
<p>These obvious ideas don't work:</p>
<pre><code>>>> datetime.time(11, 34, 59) + 3
TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for +: 'datetime.time' and 'int'
>>> datetime.time(11, 34, 59) + datetime.timedelta(0, 3)
TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for +: 'datetime.time' and 'datetime.timedelta'
>>> datetime.time(11, 34, 59) + datetime.time(0, 0, 3)
TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for +: 'datetime.time' and 'datetime.time'
</code></pre>
<p>In the end I have written functions like this:</p>
<pre><code>def add_secs_to_time(timeval, secs_to_add):
secs = timeval.hour * 3600 + timeval.minute * 60 + timeval.second
secs += secs_to_add
return datetime.time(secs // 3600, (secs % 3600) // 60, secs % 60)

<pre><code> <xs:choice>
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="DateConstant"/>
<xs:element name="TimeConstant"/>

<xs:element name="DateConstant"/>
<xs:element name="TimeConstant"/>

<p>Can this be done (and if so, how)?</p>
<p>Some clarification:
I only want to allow one of each element of the same name. There can be one "DateConstant" and/or one "TimeConstant", but not two of either.
Gizmo's answer matches my requirements, but it's impractical for a larger number of elements.
Hurst's answer allows two or more elements of the same name, which I don't want.</p>

100,235 | <p>For an open source project I am looking for a good, simple implementation of a Dictionary that is backed by a file. Meaning, if an application crashes or restarts the dictionary will keep its state. I would like it to update the underlying file every time the dictionary is touched. (Add a value or remove a value). A FileWatcher is not required but it could be useful. </p>
<pre><code>class PersistentDictionary<T,V> : IDictionary<T,V>
{
public PersistentDictionary(string filename)
{
}
}
</code></pre>
<p>Requirements: </p>
<ul>
<li>Open Source, with no dependency on native code (no sqlite) </li>
<li>Ideally a very short and simple implementation</li>
<li>When setting or clearing a value it should not re-write the entire underlying file, instead it should seek to the position in the file and update the value.</li>
</ul>

100,236 | <p>How can I insert ASCII special characters (e.g. with the ASCII value 0x01) into a string?</p>
<p>I ask because I am using the following:</p>
<pre><code>str.Replace( "<TAG1>", Convert.ToChar(0x01).ToString() );
</code></pre>
<p>and I feel that there must be a better way than this. Any Ideas?</p>
<p>Update:</p>
<p>Also If I use this methodology, do I need to worry about unicode & ASCII clashing?</p>

100,248 | <p>AFAIK one of the objectives of Stack Overflow is to make sure anyone can come here and find <b>good</b> answers to her Perl related questions. Certainly beginners would ask what is the <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/70573/best-online-%0Asource-to-learn-perl">best online source to learn Perl</a> but others might just want to ask a question.</p>
<p>Probably the friendliest place is the <a href="http://perlmonks.org/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Monastery of Perl Monks</a>. It is a web site with a rating system similar to but more simple than Stack Overflow. You can find lots of good answers there and if you don't find an answer you can always ask.</p>
<p>The other big resource would be the mailing list of your local <a href="http://www.pm.org/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Perl Mongers</a> group.</p>
<p>Where do <b>you</b> go when you are looking for an answer to a Perl related question?</p>

<p>f.ex:</p>
<pre><code>foreach (String item in ListOfStrings)

result.add(CalculateSmth(item));
}

<p>it consumes lot's of time, because CalculateSmth is very time consuming function.</p>

100,304 | <p>I'm facing a problem on the Win32 API. I have a program that, when it handles <code>WM_PAINT</code> messages, it calls <code>BeginPaint</code> to clip the region and validate the update region, but the <code>BeginPaint</code> function is always generating a <code>WM_NCPAINT</code> message with the same update region, even if the touched part that needs repainting is only inside the client region. </p>
<p>Do anyone has any clue why this is happening? It's on child windows with the <code>WS_CHILD</code> style.</p>

100,365 | <p>In cake 1.2 there is a feature that allows the developer to no have to create models, but rather have cake do the detective work at run time and create the model for you. This process happens each time and is neat but in my case very hazardous. I read about this somewhere and now I'm experiencing the bad side of this.</p>
<p>I've created a plugin with all the files and everything appeared to be just great. That is until i tried to use some of the model's associations and functions. Then cake claims that this model i've created doesn't exist. <strong>I've narrowed it down to cake using this auto model feature instead of throwing and error</strong>! So i have no idea what's wrong!</p>
<p>Does anybody know how to disable this auto model feature? It's a good thought, but I can't seem to find where i've gone wrong with my plugin and an error would be very helpful!</p>

<p>I've implemented a custom DataSource (and related classes) for some custom business objects and custom WebControls.

100,504 | <p>Say I have a table called myTable. What is the SQL command to return all of the field names of this table? If the answer is database specific then I need SQL Server right now but would be interested in seeing the solution for other database systems as well.</p>

100,533 | <p>Is it possible to do like this:</p>
<pre><code>interface IDBBase {
DataTable getDataTableSql(DataTable curTable,IDbCommand cmd);
...
}
class DBBase : IDBBase {
public DataTable getDataTableSql(DataTable curTable, SqlCommand cmd) {
...
}
}
</code></pre>
<p>I want to use the interface to implement to d/t providers (MS-SQL,Oracle...); in it there are some signatures to be implemented in the corresponding classes that implement it. I also tried like this:</p>
<pre><code>genClass<typeOj>
{
typeOj instOj;
public genClass(typeOj o)
{ instOj=o; }
public typeOj getType()
{ return instOj; }
</code></pre>
<p>...</p>
<pre><code>interface IDBBase
{
DataTable getDataTableSql(DataTable curTable,genClass<idcommand> cmd);
...
}
class DBBase : IDBBase
{
public DataTable getDataTableSql(DataTable curTable, genClass<SqlCommand> cmd)
{
...
}
}

100,543 | <p>On a class library project, I set the "Start Action" on the Debug tab of the project properties to "Start external program" (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NUnit" rel="noreferrer">NUnit</a> in this case). I want to set an environment variable in the environment this program is started in. How do I do that? (Is it even possible?)</p>
<p>EDIT:</p>
<p>It's an environment variable that influences all .NET applications (COMplus_Version, it sets the runtime version) so setting it system wide really isn't an option.</p>
<p>As a workaround I just forced NUnit to start in right .NET version (2.0) by setting it in <code>nunit.exe.config</code>, though unfortunately this also means all my .NET 1.1 unit tests are now also run in .NET 2.0. I should probably just make a copy of the executable so it can have its own configuration file...</p>
<p>(I am keeping the question open (not accepting an answer) in case someone does happen to find out how (it might be useful for other purposes too after all...))</p>

100,624 | <p>How to wait for multiple child processes in Python on Windows, without active wait (polling)? Something like this <em>almost</em> works for me:</p>
<pre><code>proc1 = subprocess.Popen(['python','mytest.py'])
proc2 = subprocess.Popen(['python','mytest.py'])
proc1.wait()
print "1 finished"
proc2.wait()
print "2 finished"
</code></pre>
<p>The problem is that when <code>proc2</code> finishes before <code>proc1</code>, the parent process will still wait for <code>proc1</code>. On Unix one would use <code>waitpid(0)</code> in a loop to get the child processes' return codes as they finish - how to achieve something like this in Python on Windows?</p>

100,631 | <p>After our Ruby on Rails application has run for a while, it starts throwing 500s with "MySQL server has gone away". Often this happens overnight. It's started doing this recently, with no obvious change in our server configuration.</p>
<pre><code> Mysql::Error: MySQL server has gone away: SELECT * FROM `widgets`
</code></pre>
<p>Restarting the mongrels (not the MySQL server) fixes it.</p>
<p>How can we fix this?</p>

100,661 | <p>Are there any tools available for calculating the <strong>average number of lines of code per method</strong>?</p>
<p>I want to know the average size of each method, not just the total number of lines in the project. The per method count will allow me to measure how simple each method is.</p>
<p>This will be calculated as part of the build process, and displayed on a dashboard. The idea being that we can see if the average size of each method is increasing. And this will flag the possibility that code complexity is increasing and we may need to think about refactoring.</p>

100,707 | <p>I'm wondering, how expensive it is to have many threads in waiting state in java 1.6 x64.</p>
<p>To be more specific, I'm writing application which runs across many computers and sends/receives data from one to another. I feel more comfortable to have separate thread for each connected machine and task, like 1) sending data, 2) receiving data, 3) reestablishing connection when it is dropped. So, given that there are N nodes in cluster, each machine is going to have 3 threads for each of N-1 neighbours. Typically there will be 12 machines, which comes to 33 communication threads.</p>
<p>Most of those threads will be sleeping most of the time, so for optimization purposes I could reduce number of threads and give more job to each of them. Like, for example. reestablishing connection is responsibility of receiving thread. Or sending to all connected machines is done by single thread.</p>
<p>So is there any significant perfomance impact on having many sleeping threads?</p>
