I don't know if I get you right but this here should work (no compiler here, so don't trust my syntax ;-) )

std::vector<std::pair<std::string, int>>> myVec;
for (auto v : myVec) {
std::cout << [] (std::pair<std::string, int>& x) {return x.second;} (v) << std::endl;
}
//^ this should work
std::for_each (myVec.begin(), myVec.end(); [&] (std::pair<std::string, int>& x) {std::cout << x.second << std::endl;})
// ^this, too


Binary sizes are usually no problem - if you are not developing in an embedded environment where you might only have a limited amount of storage etc...

I haven't worked with C++ lambdas but judging from the little that i know, it looks like you are passing the lambda function itself, you don't execute it and pass the result.

oh so that's why this works?


auto f = [] () {return 12;};


std::cout << f();


^ in this case f is of function type (std::function<int> in this case). The compiler actually turns this into a function which will end up in your binary - even if you use it just once. So using _many_ lambdas will increase your binary size... but then if this really matters to you, you probably won't be using C++ in the first place ;-)

So how do I use lambdas without making them function types? I've seen them tossed in as the third element in a for loop but it won't return me an int that I can print.

Also are big binaries much of a problem really? I thought there was no strong relation between code size and performance.


If you want to use lambdas, you have to capture them first ("save them to a variable"). auto x = [](whatever){}; x(); Every function you use that takes lambdas does the same thing, just implicitly through template argument deduction.

Also while big binaries aren't a guarantee for less optimal performance than the same product with different code and smaller binaries, if you go above a certain size it's certainly an indicator of bad performance. This is because apart from a data cache, CPUs also have instruction caches, where the store and read all the machine code instructions that your code consists off. If you have more code, less stuff will fit into the cache, and you will have more cache misses, etc.

But I've actually never seen code where instruction cache misses are a performance issue that takes away more than 0.001% of your performance. But then again I've never programmed for consoles or mobile devices.

you need to actually execute the lambda not just define it

edit: yeah, I just repeated schockos first example but all the namespace accessors and template parameters just slightly hid what he was missing.

Hey guys! need a bit of help from someone with java code. This is the thing.

I need to write a class that add two matrices in a concurrent way extending from the Thread class. Then I need to write a new class that using the previous class add two matrices. I have both implemented already and they look like this:

addMatrices

fields:
public static float[][] m;
public static float[][] n;
private static float[][] res;
private static int filas;//rows
private static int columnas;//columns
private int fila;// specific row that the thread will add

methods:
public sumaMatConcurrente(float [][] mat1, float[][] mat2) //Constructor that clone mat1 and mat2 into m and n fields.
private sumaMatConcurrente(int row) //Constructor that I used to initialize field fila, which will control which row of the
//matrix will resolve each thread
public void run()//Save the result of the add of the specific row into res matrix;
public float[][] Suma() //Creates an array of threads and launch them to resolve the operation. Then return the result.


SOOOOOO... here's the thing. We also had to create a class that does the same thing in a non concurrent way and that one is working faster than the one that's concurrent -_-. My guess is, that because I have to actually copy both matrices into the static fields in order to do this in a threaded way, the program is cloning 2 more matrices, and when the dimension of them are like 10000x10000 it's probably making the threaded one slower than the other one.

So finally my question. Is there a way to actually implement this without the need of the 2 static fields that save the two matrices and still make this work with threads??? Just to clarify, the 3 classes work already, i just wondered if there is a better way to do it in a concurrent way without having to clone the static fields.

Hope i explained myself well, im going to leave the code for the 3 classes here in spoilers just in case it wasnt clear enough

Thx a lot guys, love this thread <3

EDIT: Didnt know about the code blocks, already fixed.

This "two separate constructors to create two functionally separate types of the same class" is a really confusing construct, try not to do that. Use a single class to wrap, and a separate class for your worker. Have your worker's constructor take in two single dimensional arrays to add, and don't be passing in the entire giant array around.

It's not clear to me why you're cloning the same array 4 times, and then cloning your answer. Why not just use one source array and add it to itself? Or are m & n supposed to actually be different? Finally, if you do want m & n to be identical, don't do n = m.clone(), create m & n the same way at the same time. It'll have marginally better cache performance.

It's also not clear to me why you're creating ten thousand threads. Are you running this on a stupidly large amount of cores?

That's all I got for the moment, may have a chance to look at this more later.

I think i didnt explain myself well. First important thing, is that I have to use 2 classes to do the operation in the threaded way (one is supossed to have all the methods and stuff, and the other just main), and i cant mix them into a single class even if i could(would be easier imo). The purpouse of this classes is to compare the performance of concurrent vs non-concurrent classes.

That said, I put the 2 static float[][] fields, because I dont know a way (if possible) to add two matrices using threads and 2 classes, if i have the matrices in the non-concurrent class to start with. Therefore I came up with the static fields that stored said matrices, so i could access them from the run() method, and the res matrix to save the result of the add for that row.

For the cloning, m and n are supposed to be different(doesnt matter actually but in reality could be), and the ammount of threads its because we are supposed to create one thread per row. I set the dimensions of the matrices at 10k just to test if the higher the size, the faster the concurrent program ran compared to the non-concurrent.

The strange thing for me is that the concurrent way is slower than the other one, and the only reason I can think of is that, because I cloned m and n in the static fields, that adds a lot of load to the program, but as I said, i can't think of a way to implement run() without having the two matrices in a static field, and thats pretty much the question.

Thanks for the help anyways and im terrible at explaining myself T_T

I'm having issues with deserializing some json with C#.

Suppose this is a snippet of the json I'm being sent (repeated many times, but nothing else other than id/name):
[
{
"id":0,
"name":"N/A"
},
{
"id":1,
"name":"Annie"
},
{
"id":2,
"name":"Olaf"
}
]


If the top level was named, I'd do something like
    [DataContract]
public class ChampList
{
[DataMember(Name = "SOMENAME")]
public ElophantChamp[] ElophantChamps { get; set; }
}

[DataContract]
public class ElophantChamp
{
[DataMember(Name = "id")]
public int ID { get; set; }

[DataMember(Name = "name")]
public string Name { get; set; }

}


and then deserialize it by calling this:
HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(url);
HttpWebResponse response = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse();

DataContractJsonSerializer jsonSerializer = new DataContractJsonSerializer(typeof(ChampList));
object objResponse = jsonSerializer.ReadObject(response.GetResponseStream());
ChampList jsonResults = objResponse as ChampList;


But in the case where there is no top level container object and I can't have blank datamember name, what do I do? I just get a null value if I leave the DataMember unnamed (i.e. leave it as [DataMember])

Yes, I understand why at least 2 classes are necessary. I'm advocating at least 3 classes, possibly more. Having your worker class also be your controller class is just overly confusing.

Yea, try ditching the static access for each of your workers. Pass a single dimensional array representing ONLY the info that an individual worker needs, no more. Have the worker toss that info back to the main thread. I'm guessing you're not looking into future/callable/etc type solutions.

I set the dimensions of the matrices at 10k just to test if the higher the size, the faster the concurrent program ran compared to the non-concurrent.

The strange thing for me is that the concurrent way is slower than the other one, and the only reason I can think of is that, because I cloned m and n in the static fields, that adds a lot of load to the program, but as I said, i can't think of a way to implement run() without having the two matrices in a static field, and thats pretty much the question.

Thanks for the help anyways and im terrible at explaining myself T_T

If you're running this on a computer with 4 cores, 10,000 threads isn't exactly helping. Try reducing the number of workers to a more sane level and allocating work through a really simple task master.

The one that involves:

using System.Runtime.Serialization;
using System.Runtime.Serialization.Json;

I'd recommend you don't use the built-in JSON serializer, its pretty shitty and not very easy to do custom parsing like you want here. I think they were adding Json.NET in as the default serializer for MVC4/.NET 4.5, but I haven't kept up with .NET since I quit my last job. Anyway, I'd recommend you use that.

Then you could just do something like:
var array = JArray.parse(json);
var champs = array.Select(token => token.ToObject<ElophantChamp>());


Not sure that code would actually work, but its close to what it would need to be.

I already have 99% of what I want deserialized coded (i.e. I have numerous other ones working fine). All I want is to know what tweak I need to do for this one piece.

Use http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.script.serialization.javascriptserializer.aspx

It's a lot easier to use and also included in .net by default.

String json = GetTheJson();
List<Items> = JavaScriptSerializer.Deserialize<Items>(json);

I asked a simple question, which was not "how can I do what I'm already 99% done with using a completely different package."

I even expressly said I only want to know what very minor thing I need to do with my existing code.

I'm pretty sure the answer is that you can't, because the DataContractJsonSerializer is shit, like I said. The interface it implements is designed for deserializing XML, not JSON, and thus doesn't contain methods for parsing top-level things that aren't objects. It would take you 20 seconds to install Json.NET and change your code to use it, the resulting code would be vastly cleaner, and you wouldn't be dependent on a shitty class that Microsoft's own library developers have clearly given up on using. Quit asking questions and then getting all uppity when people suggest better ways for you to do things.

I wouldn't have to grumble over non-answers if they were actual answers.

It took three posts just to force an angry reply out of you that what I'm using MIGHT not be able to do what I want. Instead, you got up on your "look at how great this thing I prefer is, change all your code to suit my personal preference" why? "because I personally feel the thing you're using is shit, but I'm not going to bother actually trying to help you"

If you don't want people getting "uppity," then provide actual answers. Exponentially so when I came out and explicitly said all I want to know is what I have to tweak and then got the exact same kind of non-answer.
