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.

Pretty sure you're right, which means I was definitely wrong

I honestly consider myself a pretty strong C programmer and I would never have said the different forms of '++' have different precedence... that makes that line even more ridiculous :D

Can I just say that code looks bloody awful. RIP manitou
That's the 2nd time in a week I've seen someone sig a quote from this GD and I have never witnessed a sig quote happen in my TL history ever before. -Najda

Lemme put this in perspective:

#ifdef KR_headers
(dd, mode, ndigits, decpt, sign, rve)
double dd; int mode, ndigits, *decpt, *sign; char **rve;
#else
(double dd, int mode, int ndigits, int *decpt, int *sign, char **rve)
#endif
{
/* Arguments ndigits, decpt, sign are similar to those
of ecvt and fcvt; trailing zeros are suppressed from
the returned string. If not null, *rve is set to point
to the end of the return value. If d is +-Infinity or NaN,
then *decpt is set to 9999.

mode:
0 ==> shortest string that yields d when read in
and rounded to nearest.
1 ==> like 0, but with Steele & White stopping rule;
e.g. with IEEE P754 arithmetic , mode 0 gives
1e23 whereas mode 1 gives 9.999999999999999e22.
2 ==> max(1,ndigits) significant digits. This gives a
return value similar to that of ecvt, except
that trailing zeros are suppressed.
3 ==> through ndigits past the decimal point. This
gives a return value similar to that from fcvt,
except that trailing zeros are suppressed, and
ndigits can be negative.
4,5 ==> similar to 2 and 3, respectively, but (in
round-nearest mode) with the tests of mode 0 to
possibly return a shorter string that rounds to d.
With IEEE arithmetic and compilation with
-DHonor_FLT_ROUNDS, modes 4 and 5 behave the same
as modes 2 and 3 when FLT_ROUNDS != 1.
6-9 ==> Debugging modes similar to mode - 4: don't try
fast floating-point estimate (if applicable).

Values of mode other than 0-9 are treated as mode 0.

Sufficient space is allocated to the return value
to hold the suppressed trailing zeros.

The thing is variable s is actually a char* so a string... This code is such a mess to read through.


Just no.

Can I just say that code looks bloody awful. RIP manitou


Don't be sorry for me. I don't have to work with it or anything. Just stumbled upon it after seeing how much discussion you can find about it on the Internet. I'm quite surprised though that it's being used in numerous applications (being a rather important part of them none the less) and no one has bothered to make some cleaner version of it for 30 years. It really baffles me.

Edit:

It won't leave me be


int print_r(char *s);

int main(void)
{
char *s = "12345678";
int i = 0;

++*s;
s++;

printf("sizeof: %d, strlen: %d\n", sizeof(s) / sizeof(char), strlen(s));

print_r(s);

return 0;
}

int print_r(char *s)
{
int i;

for (i = 0; i < strlen(s); i++) {
printf("%c\n", s[i]);
}
}


Output:

sizeof: 4, strlen: 7
2
3
4
5
6
7
8


Could someone please make some sense out of it? How can it have 4 and 7 characters at the same time?
Time is precious. Waste it wisely.

Making some assumptions, but

sizeof(s) is sizeof the variable s, a char pointer, which is the same as any pointer, and is usually 32 bits (or 64) in size

sizeof(char) is sizeof a char, which is usually the size of a byte, or 8 bits

32/8 is 4

strlen starts from the beginning of the char array and counts until it reaches a \0, which is 7 because you messed around with the char array pointer.
There is no one like you in the universe.

Folks, looking for a bit of help with mean.io. I dled and installed node, mongodb and git. I then init a directory and run npm install inside of it. I then run gulp to start the server. This throws errors that I'm missing various modules such as 'mongoose', 'async', etc. but these should be installed from the npm install, correct? The exact error is + Show Spoiler +
E:\mean_workspace\monoprobability\node_modules\q\q.js:155

When I tried to start using mean.io on another computer it worked fine so it is almost certainly a problem with my current environment. When I look inside of my root's node_modules folder it is missing both 'async' and 'mongoose'. Are they supposed to be in that folder?
Can it be I stayed away too long? Did you miss these rhymes while I was gone?

As Blisse said. sizeof returns the size of the variable. The *s is a pointer, pointer size in memory is 4 bytes regardless of what it points to, so whether it was pointing to char / int / double / void... etc, the size of the pointer variable will always be 4. Also, the sizeof returns the size in bytes not bits. So it is the same as Blisse said except it will be 4/1=4 not 32/8=4.

Also same for the strlen, in your code you changed the position of the s pointer forward by one byte (since it points to a char, any increment in pointer variable will increment one byte). It started counting from the second element which is '2' and continued until it reached the null.

edit: Nvm, it's probably incrementing the 1 to 2 at the location of the pointer.

mode:
0 ==> shortest string that yields d when read in

1 ==> like 0, but with Steele & White stopping rule;
e.g. with IEEE P754 arithmetic , mode 0 gives
1e23 whereas mode 1 gives 9.999999999999999e22.
2 ==> max(1,ndigits) significant digits. This gives a
return value similar to that of ecvt, except
that trailing zeros are suppressed.
3 ==> through ndigits past the decimal point. This
gives a return value similar to that from fcvt,
except that trailing zeros are suppressed, and
ndigits can be negative.
4,5 ==> similar to 2 and 3, respectively, but (in
round-nearest mode) with the tests of mode 0 to
possibly return a shorter string that rounds to d.
With IEEE arithmetic and compilation with
-DHonor_FLT_ROUNDS, modes 4 and 5 behave the same
as modes 2 and 3 when FLT_ROUNDS != 1.
6-9 ==> Debugging modes similar to mode - 4: don't try
fast floating-point estimate (if applicable).

Values of mode other than 0-9 are treated as mode 0.

Sufficient space is allocated to the return value
to hold the suppressed trailing zeros.

The thing is variable s is actually a char* so a string... This code is such a mess to read through.


Well, it was written when disk space actually still mattered. Saving 500 bytes on variable names made all the difference.

That said, someone should really at least fix the variable names to something easier to understand and add a few braces where they've been omitted.
The gotos are probably there to stay since C that close to the system often has those for performance reasons. I'd expect a modern compiler to optimize better without them, but Linux system and kernel programmers, do love their gotos since back in the day you could save a few processor cycles with them.

All in all, it's another example for why I don't engage in open source projects. All the projects I checked out have too many programmers with too little real world experience that write "clever" instead of good code, legacy code that the project creator wrote half-drunk 10 years ago that no one dares to touch for fear of breaking everything and too many people that have a hard-on for micro-optimizations while writing slow algorithms.

mode:
0 ==> shortest string that yields d when read in
and rounded to nearest.
1 ==> like 0, but with Steele & White stopping rule;
e.g. with IEEE P754 arithmetic , mode 0 gives
1e23 whereas mode 1 gives 9.999999999999999e22.
2 ==> max(1,ndigits) significant digits. This gives a
return value similar to that of ecvt, except
that trailing zeros are suppressed.
3 ==> through ndigits past the decimal point. This
gives a return value similar to that from fcvt,
except that trailing zeros are suppressed, and
ndigits can be negative.
4,5 ==> similar to 2 and 3, respectively, but (in
round-nearest mode) with the tests of mode 0 to
possibly return a shorter string that rounds to d.
With IEEE arithmetic and compilation with
-DHonor_FLT_ROUNDS, modes 4 and 5 behave the same
as modes 2 and 3 when FLT_ROUNDS != 1.
6-9 ==> Debugging modes similar to mode - 4: don't try
fast floating-point estimate (if applicable).

Values of mode other than 0-9 are treated as mode 0.

Sufficient space is allocated to the return value
to hold the suppressed trailing zeros.

The thing is variable s is actually a char* so a string... This code is such a mess to read through.


Suddenly, this does not look so bad eh

Can't you copy them from the other computer and see if that solves the issue for you?

Is your internet stable, and no timeout problems? I've had issues with npm skipping stuff if it cannot get it sufficiently quickly, and then claiming success all the same. rerunning npm install usually works, but sometimes it's really confused and you need to throw away your node_modules and start again. either that, or your package.json is wrong.

In the Windows world, yes.
Also, Unity is using C# for it's scripting, so pretty much all the Unity based games use it.

The other computer is a work computer which disables copying files :/

Yup, my internet is pretty stable here. I've run the command like 5 times in a row and I've deleted and reinited the app ~5 times too, so that shouldn't be it. My package.json is simply the default mean.io package, so it should be fine.
Can it be I stayed away too long? Did you miss these rhymes while I was gone?

Wow, I'm an idiot!

I just spent two hours trying to figure out why the Live USB I was making wouldn't boot, when I was making a typo when writing the image.

I was doing:

sudo dd if=Fedora-Live-Workstation-x86_64-23-10.iso of=/dev/sdc1 bs=8M; and sync


Instead of:

sudo dd if=Fedora-Live-Workstation-x86_64-23-10.iso of=/dev/sdc bs=8M; and sync


Whoops!

All in all, it's another example for why I don't engage in open source projects. All the projects I checked out have too many programmers with too little real world experience that write "clever" instead of good code, legacy code that the project creator wrote half-drunk 10 years ago that no one dares to touch for fear of breaking everything and too many people that have a hard-on for micro-optimizations while writing slow algorithms.

Also somewhat disagree that the gotos are for performance reasons. They're significantly more readable than the alternative. Using gotos properly in C can save you a ton of duplicated cleanup code, which is why those C programmers (Linux devs, GCC devs, BSD devs...) like them so much.

eg:


int func() {
int err;
struct foo *a = alloc_foo();
if (!a) return;

err = init_foo(a);
if (err) {
free_foo(a);
return err;
}

err = do_something_with_foo(a);
if (err) {
free_foo(a);
return err;
}

return 0;
}


vs.


int func() {
int err;
struct foo *a = alloc_foo();
if (!a) goto fail;

err = init_foo(a);
if (err) goto fail;

err = do_something_with_foo(a);
if (err) goto fail;

return 0;

fail:
free_foo(a);
return err;
}


I mean, maybe a pretty trivial example, but there are places in the Linux kernel where this style of error handling reduces code duplication by a really significant amount.

Can do that just fine without gotos.


int func() {
int err;
struct foo *a = alloc_foo();
if (!a) return fail(a, err);

err = init_foo(a);
if (err) return fail(a, err);

err = do_something_with_foo(a);
if (err) return fail(a, err);

return 0;
}

int fail(foo *a, int err) {
free_foo(a);
return err;
}


And the advantage of this is that your code will never ever enter the fail code by mistake because you forgot a corner case in which there is no return statement above your label.

brrrrrr......

What will this return? Same question for the goto implementation.

It's not that bad if you need more than just true/false. C doesn't have exceptions, so you have to work with what you have, and error as return value is a pretty common approach (probably the most common, in fact).
