Benchmark tests

With benchmark tests you can test and measure the speed of the code, however benchmark tests are still unstable. To enable benchmarks in your cargo project you need nightly rust, put your integration benchmark tests to the benches/ folder in the root of your Cargo project, and run cargo bench. Exam...

Generating a Date Range With a Tally Table

Another way you can generate a range of dates is by utilizing a Tally Table to create the dates between the range: Declare @FromDate Date = '2014-04-21', @ToDate Date = '2014-05-02' ;With E1(N) As (Select 1 From (Values (1), (1), (1), (1), (1), (1), (1), (1), (1), (1)) DT...

Using COALESCE to Build Comma-Delimited String

We can get a comma delimited string from multiple rows using coalesce as shown below. Since table variable is used, we need to execute whole query once. So to make easy to understand, I have added BEGIN and END block. BEGIN --Table variable declaration to store sample records DECLARE @...

Coalesce basic Example

COALESCE() returns the first NON NULL value in a list of arguments. Suppose we had a table containing phone numbers, and cell phone numbers and wanted to return only one for each user. In order to only obtain one, we can get the first NON NULL value. DECLARE @Table TABLE (UserID int, PhoneNumber va...

Benchmarking using microbenchmark

You can use the microbenchmark package to conduct "sub-millisecond accurate timing of expression evaluation". In this example we are comparing the speeds of six equivalent data.table expressions for updating elements in a group, based on a certain condition. More specifically: A data....

Overview of the basic path drawing commands: lines and curves

================== TODO: Link each of the drawing commands below to their individual examples. I don't know how to do this since the links to the individual examples point towards the "draft" folder. TODO: Add examples for these path "action" commands: stroke(), fill(), clip() ...

bezierCurveTo (a path command)

context.bezierCurveTo(control1X, control1Y, control2X, control2Y, endingX, endingY) Draws a cubic Bezier curve starting at the current pen location to a given ending coordinate. Another 2 given control coordinates determine the shape (curviness) of the curve. <!doctype html> <html&gt...

beginPath (a path command)

context.beginPath() Begins assembling a new set of path commands and also discards any previously assembled path. It also moves the drawing "pen" to the top-left origin of the canvas (==coordinate[0,0]). Although optional, you should ALWAYS start a path with beginPath The discarding ...

Rebuild index

Over the course of time B-Tree indexes may become fragmented because of updating/deleting/inserting data. In SQLServer terminology we can have internal (index page which is half empty ) and external (logical page order doesn't correspond physical order). Rebuilding index is very similar to dropping...

32-bit cdecl

cdecl is a Windows 32-bit function calling convention which is very similar to the calling convention used on many POSIX operating systems (documented in the i386 System V ABI). One of the differences is in returning small structs. Parameters Parameters are passed on the stack, with the first arg...

64-bit System V

This is the default calling convention for 64-bit applications on many POSIX operating systems. Parameters The first eight scalar parameters are passed in (in order) RDI, RSI, RDX, RCX, R8, R9, R10, R11. Parameters past the first eight are placed on the stack, with earlier parameters closer to th...

32-bit stdcall

stdcall is used for 32-bit Windows API calls. Parameters Parameters are passed on the stack, with the first parameter closest to the top of the stack. The callee will pop these values off of the stack before returning. Return Value Scalar return values are placed in EAX. Saved and Clobbered Re...
