2014/1/14-2/5 [Computer/SW/Languages/C_Cplusplus] UID:54763 Activity:nil | 1/14 Why is NULL defined to be "0" in C++ instead of "((void *) 0)" like in
C? I have some overloaded functtions where one takes an integer
parameter and the other a pointer parameter. When I call it with
"NULL", the compiler matches it with the integer version instead of
the pointer version which is a problem. Other funny effect is that
sizeof(NULL) is different from sizeof(myPtr). Thanks.

2013/4/29-5/18 [Computer/SW/Languages/C_Cplusplus, Computer/SW/Compilers] UID:54665 Activity:nil | 4/29 Why were C and Java designed to require "break;" statements for a
"case" section to terminate rather than falling-through to the next
section? 99% of the time poeple want a "case" section to terminate.
In fact some compilers issue warning if there is no "break;" statement
in a "case" section. Why not just design the languages to have
termination as the default behavior, and provide a "fallthru;"

number of parameters in order to pass the variable parameters to
another function that also has variable number of parameters? Thanks.
\_ The usual way (works on gcc 3.0+, Visual Studio 2005+):
#define foo(fmt, ...) printf(fmt, ##__VA_ARGS__)
The cool new way (works on gcc 4.3+):

2011/2/5-19 [Computer/SW/Languages/C_Cplusplus] UID:54027 Activity:nil | 2/4 random C programming/linker fu question. If I have
int main() { printf("%s is at this adddr %p\n", "strlen", strlen); }
and soda's /proc/sys/kernel/randomize_va_space is 2 (eg; on)
why is strlen (or any other libc fn) at the same address every time?
\_ I don't pretend to actually know the right answer to this, but
could it have something to do with shared libraries?

nothing. No static initialization either. Any ideas?

C#? Thanks.
\_ C#? Are you serious? Is this what the class of 2009 learn?
\_ No. I have to learn .NET code at work. I am Class of '93.

at UCB ugrad cs, probably replaced emacs. Furthermore, people get
angry at seeing Makefiles, (since eclispe takes care of that). I
guess it's just a sign of the times.
\_ The more people at my work use eclipse the less the code is
managable in emacs. I'm not sure which application's fault

Can I find this stuff out at compile time somehow?
\_ You aren't planning on running your code on any other processors?

know your architecture and want to find out dynamically, there are
tools that can peek/poke to give you definitive answers, plus you get

there are quite a few openings. The first opening I heard about
today was for working on parallel file systems in Linux, a good OS
hacking job. See it at: /csua/pub/jobs/LLNL. However, there are
always a lot of jobs for scientific programmers (Familiariry with
Math, Physics, and/or biology are big pluses). There's also some sys

analysis as an undergrad, and i need to solve some heat transfer
equations numerically. something that is readable and also a good

common one I have forgotten but will remember.

2004/5/11-12 [Computer/SW/Languages/OCAML, Computer/SW/Languages/Functional] UID:30169 Activity:very high | 5/11 To FP activists on the motd, if currying is such a great idea, why
it's not implemented symmetrically in say Caml? It seems more
natural to treat the arguments of a function more symmetrically.
\_ If by 'symmetric' you mean that if, for example, I have a function
f of two arguments a and b, I should be able to curry on either
a or b, then Ocaml does this using labeled arguments. Caml does
