Thread Rules
1. This is not a "do my homework for me" thread. If you have specific questions, ask, but don't post an assignment or homework problem and expect an exact solution.
2. No recruiting for your cockamamie projects (you won't replace facebook with 3 dudes you found on the internet and $20)
3. If you can't articulate why a language is bad, don't start slinging shit about it. Just remember that nothing is worse than making CSS IE6 compatible.
4. Use [code] tags to format code blocks.

Ok! So your favorite noob is back with a question for c++.

I have 2 classes, both within the same namespace.
One of the classes calls upon the other with a function and one of the parameters is of the first class.
I try to send it with a "this" pointer and that can't be done because the compiler complains that i try to send namespacename::classname* instead of just the classname*.

I tried adding the namespace to the functions parameter but that didn't work.

Basically:

m_stateMachine.SetState(m_stateFactory->GetState(0), this, 0);

bool CStateMachine::SetState(CState* _state, CGame* _game, unsigned int _id)


Putting this might work:

bool CStateMachine::SetState(CState* _state, CGame* const _game, unsigned int _id)


I believe 'this' is a const pointer that cannot have its address modified.


Yeah I tried that but it didn't work.

That seems to be what's happening. Even if it shouldn't:

In the body of a non-static (9.3) member function, the keyword this is a prvalue expression whose value
is the address of the object for which the function is called. The type of this in a member function of
a class X is X*. If the member function is declared const, the type of this is const X*, ....


Looks like a compiler bug to me.

*Edit: Surprised even that doesn't work. What compiler is this? :p
What happens if you call then function like this:

m_stateMachine.SetState(m_stateFactory->GetState(0), (CGame*)this, 0);

For some reason I can get all this to work, but not when I want to add namespace to all of it. As soon as I start to add namespace to it, it complains about that thing. I just don't get it.

That's quite certainly the worst thing you could learn from this. Namespaces in C++ should be used sparingly, but they should be used.
If you have a good reason to disagree with the above, please tell me. Thank you.

I've got a question for you: How do you go about password encryption this days?

Would something like this be feasible for a small system?


string GetEncryptedPassword(string input)
{
string salt = md5(input);

return md5(input + salt);
}


I know that md5 isn't secure any more, just using it as an example here. With this method I get to hit 2 birds with 1 stone:
a) I get a unique salt for each password
b) I don't have to store the salt anywhere in the databases
Time is precious. Waste it wisely.

How do you group two joined xml files in xquery by an element?

I know how to join.
I know how to group. But I can't do both together...

nvm, figured out a way to do the problem with group by and a join using where clauses.

The first rule of crypto is don't roll your own crypto.

That said, salts (from what I can tell) are usually generated based on some combination of things like timestamp, username, ect to be as random as possible. The issue with what you are suggesting is that multiple people could have the same input, which means they have the same salt and same hashed passwords, just with a slightly more complex, but still trivial algorithm.

The best crypto methods will work even when the attacker knows exactly what you did, but they still can't do anything about it.

I use BCrypt, https://github.com/codahale/bcrypt-ruby

There's bindings for Java and C# as well I'm pretty sure.

Here's an example in Ruby
+ Show Spoiler +


class User
include Mongoid::Document
attr_accessor :password, :password_confirmation

field :name, :type => String
field :email, :type => String
field :crypted_password, :type => String

validates_presence_of (etc...)
validates_confirmation_of :password, :if => :password_required
validates_length_of :password, :within => 3..40, :if => :password_required
validates (etc...)

before_save :encrypt_password, :if => :password_required

def self.authenticate(email, password)
account = first(:conditions => { :email => /^#{email}$/i }) if email.present?
account && account.has_password?(password) ? account : nil
end

def has_password?(password)
::BCrypt::Password.new(crypted_password) == password
end

private
def encrypt_password
self.crypted_password = ::BCrypt::Password.create(self.password)
end

def password_required
crypted_password.blank? || self.password.present?
end
end



I use a before_save callback to call encrypt_password.

You should only save the password in the DB as encrypted, so GetPassword should never encrypt the password it should always return an already encrypted password.

If it is not a Getter and is a function that encrypts a password then the naming should be EncryptPassword, not GetPassword.

I recommend using some form of key stretching like PBKDF2. Read this carefully and make sure you understand it.

On another note, it's not password encryption. Encryption implies that you can decrypt it, which is not wanted here.

I think this may be your problem, the forward declaration might not be within the namespace.
