<0> just hang around for a while, show some gratitude ;P
<0> love the #c
<1> :P
<1> sure I love the language but must learn alot and I can't google with good keywords right now
<1> lets try the same question in #C++ rofl
<2> what's the difference between " funPtr(parameters); " and " (*funPtr)(parameters); "
<3> syntax
<4> donny: Nothing.
<3> :P
<3> i'd use funPtr(parameters)
<3> it's easier to read!
<4> I concur wholeheartedly.
<2> yeah i use the first as well. but when i saw someone doing the latter i thought it SHOULDN'T work
<0> ar eyou talking for a prototype?
<4> You could also do (********fptr)(args);
<2> yeah



<2> i JUST tried that actually
<3> feti: function pointer
<0> i know what it is.
<0> but what he's doing is a prototype
<2> feti: no, but thanks. no it isn't.
<3> it looks like he's calling it to me
<2> if you don't make the distinction between these two pseudocode examples: func(parameters); and: func(type parameter); then i guess it is vague
<2> but whatever. thanks everyone for your help.
<5> is this open for c++ discussion as well? i couldn't seem to find a chan for that
<6> I think #C++ generally is for that
<6> ... yup
<5> ha... for some reason i thought + wasn't a valid char in a chan name
<5> thanks
<6> hehe
<6> you're welcome
<6> though it says to join here o_O
<5> for C questions
<6> oh, didn't read carefully enough
<6> my bada
<6> *bad
<7> .ws 17
<7> wops. my bad.
<8> who you calling a wop?
<9> :)
<10> Gambit- are you on?
<10> ok does anyone know how to use epoll?
<11> yes
<10> i dont understand epoll_create() ?
<10> like does epoll_create(100); mean u can have max 100 file discriptors?
<10> :(
<12> Whatever you do, don't read the man page and find "The _size_ is not the maximum size of the backing store but just a hit to the kernel about how to dimension internal structures."
<12> s/hit/hint
<10> whats the backing store
<12> http://foldoc.org/foldoc.cgi?query=backing+store
<10> hmm
<10> i read its not good to use over 100 with epoll_create in unrealircd is this true?
<12> What's the justification?
<10> it said to make it slower
<10> which boggles me
<12> It might be true, but I would still take ircd hackers' statements with a huge grain of salt, in general.
<10> so if you had a server which is supposed to run on 20k clients youd set it to 20k for best efficiency
<13> huge grain = block
<13> salt lick
<10> what would happen if you set epoll_create(2) and then got 10k connections would it crash?
<13> anyway, im a fairly strong beleiver in empirical performance measurements
<13> i have a feeling you'd get inferior performance characteristics, but i dont really know. you should test it.
<13> ideally, those sort of parameters should be tunable in the production program so you can optimise performance between different configurations
<14> When did AaronWL get ops?
<9> I didn't know he had. don't worry. as long as I don't have ops
<9> my wlan card has died!
<9> it still recieves but doesn't transmit any more
<9> :(
<9> out of warranty too
<15> hmm why are toronto isps being banned
<15> this past week iave had a hard time getting into #c and #math
<15> sometimes #physics
<13> its just you use a large isp
<13> and people are more inclined to ban a large isp if it isn't one that serves their geographic region.
<16> char s[]="Hello"; will sizeof(s)-1 always be == strlen(s) in this case?
<16> or are there alignment issues?
<17> Jagg1: nope, though implicitly, there will be padding



<13> chars never need alignment
<16> so memcpy(dest, s, sizeof(s)-1); dest+=sizeof(s)-1; is a bad idea?
<13> that is fine, as long as 'dest' isnt anything weird.
<16> dest is a char *
<16> s is really char relno[]="rel=nofollow"; and I'm copying a string and inserting relno into it at each <a href="">
<15> ah ok
<18> God I hate AIX
<18> :/
<13> big blue owns you
<11> big blue like, "you're my boy blue!" ?
<16> what do I search for for information on char f[] alignment specs in C?
<16> I used sizeof char_array but I don't know the details of alignment
<16> I bet strlen(char []) would be optimized anyway
<19> kthx^, I am now.
<10> yeah i pretty much got my questions answered about epoll :D
<19> What was it, for my own curiosity?
<10> epoll_create(size)
<10> how size related to max connections etc
<19> and the answer?
<10> mixed
<19> that being?
<10> that its just a hint and ircd hackers views on it are a grain of salt or somthing lol
<16> I guess I should move my webbrowser from my 4th desktop in linux to my 3rd
<16> alt-f4 is not too convenient to confuse in windows.
<20> also, has anyone found something more convenient than ^A for screen sessions?
<20> someone years ago mentioned they use ^O but I don't like hooking my finger to get to ctrl
<19> tbh I didn't know you could change it
<19> for me on my keyboard crtl a is fine because the layouts very different
<13> ctrl-a sucsk for me because i use it a lot to go to the beginning of a line
<13> i hardly ever use flow control.. i should use ctrl-s or something
<19> in what env does ctrl-a go to the begining of a line?
<13> ordinary unix command lines...
<19> heh I just use the 'home' key :)
<13> and anything based on libreadline or similar
<13> 'home' doesnt work nearly as often as ctrl-a
<19> it's placed near my thumb so it's not a stretch.
<21> Well, if you use that satanic emacs editing mode, sure.
<20> screen -e^Oo would change it to .. ^O :)
<13> hm, i have no idea how to use emacs
<20> emacs reminds me of wordstar
<13> and as near as i can tell, hardly anyone else does either.
<20> and wordstar was no word perfect 5.1 or whatever
<20> wish screen could take alt-a or something.. easier on my thumb
<22> SgtUnix == teh ****
<22> for real for real
<20> there we go.. screen takes bindkey command
<22> hey jaggz
<20> okay.. got it
<20> added bindkey "\0330" select 0 bindkey "\0331" select 1 ... bindkey "\0339" select 9
<20> to screenrc
<20> (on my system, esc-0 = meta-0
<20> hey dmi :) ltnt
<23> yeah, been busy
<23> hey mauke :)
<23> Morgens :)
<23> well Gut + !!
<14> Dmi: hi, How you been?
<14> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4dH8qpsm_0Q
<24> I had cool exchange on the vim mailing list
<24> I must archive it somewhere
<24> The guys asked why \<:word does'nt match
<24> doesn't match :word , that is
<24> somebody answered that \< expects alphabetic char next, so it doesn't match
<24> (btw this is indeed non-intuitive)
<25> it totally is, if you know perl
<24> The OP guy asks " I still don't
<24> understand why you can't exclusively mark the start of this string with \<"
<24> mauke: well depends of course on how your intiotion works ...
<24> OK so he complains he still don't understand
<24> I wrote in the response "\< requires alphabetic char right after it. " - 6 times
<24> and then "Did I mention that : is not alphabetic character"
<24> Fearing if it isn't too much of derision
