With a type as operand Evaluates into the size in bytes, of type size_t, of objects of the given type. Requires parentheses around the type. printf("%zu\n", sizeof(int)); /* Valid, outputs the size of an int object, which is platform-dependent. */ printf("%zu\n", sizeof int); ...

The member access operators (dot . and arrow ->) are used to access a member of a struct. Member of object Evaluates into the lvalue denoting the object that is a member of the accessed object. struct MyStruct { int x; int y; }; struct MyStruct myObject; myObject.x = 42; myObj...

The first operand must be a function pointer (a function designator is also acceptable because it will be converted to a pointer to the function), identifying the function to call, and all other operands, if any, are collectively known as the function call's arguments. Evaluates into the return valu...

A database snapshot is a read-only, static view of a SQL Server database (the source database). It is similar to backup, but it is available as any other database so client can query snapshot database. CREATE DATABASE MyDatabase_morning -- name of the snapshot ON ( NAME=MyDatabase_data, -- l...

If data in a source database becomes damaged or some wrong data is written into database, in some cases, reverting the database to a database snapshot that predates the damage might be an appropriate alternative to restoring the database from a backup.

Normally, a Docker container persists after it has exited. This allows you to run the container again, inspect its filesystem, and so on. However, sometimes you want to run a container and delete it immediately after it exits. For example to execute a command or show a file from the filesystem. Dock...

std::map or std::multimap could be traversed by the following ways: std::multimap< int , int > mmp{ {1, 2}, {3, 4}, {6, 5}, {8, 9}, {3, 4}, {6, 7} }; //Range based loop - since C++11 for(const auto &x: mmp) std::cout<< x.first <<":...

The Lua standard library provides a pairs function which iterates over the keys and values of a table. When iterating with pairs there is no specified order for traversal, even if the keys of the table are numeric. for key, value in pairs(input_table) do print(key, " -- ", value) en...

HTML input validation is done automatically by the browser based on special attributes on the input element. It could partially or completely replace JavaScript input validation. This kind of validation can be circumvented by the user via specially crafted HTTP requests, so it does not replace serve...
