A wide variety of standard library functions have among their effects copying byte sequences from one memory region to another. Most of these functions have undefined behavior when the source and destination regions overlap. For example, this ... #include <string.h> /* for memcpy() */ ch...

Deleting the last element: std::vector<int> v{ 1, 2, 3 }; v.pop_back(); // v becomes {1, 2} Deleting all elements: std::vector<int> v{ 1, 2, 3 }; v.clear(); // v becomes an empty vector Deleting element by index: std::vect...

This example shows the usage of the ILGenerator by generating code that makes use of already existing and new created members as well as basic Exception handling. The following code emits a DynamicAssembly that contains an equivalent to this c# code: public static class UnixTimeHelper { priva...

Method Chaining is a technique explained in Martin Fowler's book Domain Specific Languages. Method Chaining is summarized as Makes modifier methods return the host object, so that multiple modifiers can be invoked in a single expression. Consider this non-chaining/regular piece of code (ported...

In Go, you can declare multiple variables at the same time. // You can declare multiple variables of the same type in one line var a, b, c string var d, e string = "Hello", "world!" // You can also use short declaration to assign multiple variables x, y, z := 1, 2, 3 ...

Pointer addition Given a pointer and a scalar type N, evaluates into a pointer to the Nth element of the pointed-to type that directly succeeds the pointed-to object in memory. int arr[] = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}; printf("*(arr + 3) = %i\n", *(arr + 3)); /* Outputs "4", arr's fourth e...

The X-macro approach can be generalized a bit by making the name of the "X" macro an argument of the master macro. This has the advantages of helping to avoid macro name collisions and of allowing use of a general-purpose macro as the "X" macro. As always with X macros, the mas...

The class name selector select all elements with the targeted class name. For example, the class name .warning would select the following <div> element: <div class="warning"> <p>This would be some warning copy.</p> </div> You can also combine class n...

In this example we will write a basic program that checks the number of inputs and outputs passed to a MEX-function. As a starting point, we need to create a C++ file implementing the "MEX gateway". This is the function executed when the file is called from MATLAB. testinputs.cpp // Mat...

An std::map takes (key, value) pairs as input. Consider the following example of std::map initialization: std::map < std::string, int > ranking { std::make_pair("stackoverflow", 2), std::make_pair("docs-beta", 1) }; In an std::...

Removing all elements: std::multimap< int , int > mmp{ {1, 2}, {3, 4}, {6, 5}, {8, 9}, {3, 4}, {6, 7} }; mmp.clear(); //empty multimap Removing element from somewhere with the help of iterator: std::multimap< int , int > mmp{ {1, 2}, {3, 4}, {6, 5}, {8, 9}, {3, 4}, {6, 7} }; ...

An element can be inserted into a std::map only if its key is not already present in the map. Given for example: std::map< std::string, size_t > fruits_count; A key-value pair is inserted into a std::map through the insert() member function. It requires a pair as an argument: fruits_c...

The container std::map has a member function empty(), which returns true or false, depending on whether the map is empty or not. The member function size() returns the number of element stored in a std::map container: std::map<std::string , int> rank {{"facebook.com", 1} ,{"goo...

Single-line comments in Lua start with -- and continue until the end of line: -- this is single line comment -- need another line -- huh? Block comments start with --[[ and end with ]]: --[[ This is block comment. So, it can go on... and on... and on.... ]] Block comme...

Constructors can be created with any kinds of arguments. public class TestClass { private String testData; public TestClass(String testData) { this.testData = testData; } } Called like this: TestClass testClass = new TestClass("Test Data"); A class can ...

Reflection is often used as part of software testing, such as for the runtime creation/instantiation of mock objects. It's also great for inspecting the state of an object at any given point in time. Here's an example of using Reflection in a unit test to verify a protected class member contains the...

By default, containers created with docker run are given a random name like small_roentgen or modest_dubinsky. These names aren't particularly helpful in identifying the purpose of a container. It is possible to supply a name for the container by passing the --name command line option: docker run -...

During a merge, you can pass --ours or --theirs to git checkout to take all changes for a file from one side or the other of a merge. $ git checkout --ours -- file1.txt # Use our version of file1, delete all their changes $ git checkout --theirs -- file2.txt # Use their version of file2, delete ...

A ViewPager allows to show multiple fragments in an activity that can be navigated by either fliping left or right. A ViewPager needs to be feed of either Views or Fragments by using a PagerAdapter. There are however two more specific implementations that you will find most useful in case of using ...

Razor has its own comment syntax which begins with @* and ends with *@. Inline Comment: <h1>Comments can be @*hi!*@ inline</h1> Multi-line Comment: @* Comments can spread over multiple lines *@ HTML Comment You can also use the normal HTML comment syntax starting with &...
