Feature detection of classes can partly be done with the property_exists and method_exists functions. class MyClass { public $public_field; protected $protected_field; private $private_field; static $static_field; const CONSTANT = 0; public function public_function() {...

To run your unit tests in the simulator using xcodebuild use If you have a workspace (e.g. when using CocoaPods) xcodebuild \ -workspace MyApp.xcworkspace \ -scheme "MyScheme" \ -sdk iphonesimulator \ -destination 'platform=iOS Simulator,name=iPhone 6,OS=9.1' \ test If ...

A constructor is a special method in a class that is called when an instance of an object is created. It is a regular MATLAB function that accepts input parameters but it also must follow certain rules. Constructors are not required as MATLAB creates a default one.

Unlike other programming languages, in a batch file a variable is substituted by its actual value before the batch script is run. In other words, the substitution is made when the script is read into memory by the command processor, not when the script is later run. This enables the use of variable...

Using generics to define the type in instanceof Consider the following generic class Example declared with the formal parameter <T>: class Example<T> { public boolean isTypeAString(String s) { return s instanceof T; // Compilation error, cannot use T as class type here ...

The following might have undefined behavior due to incorrect pointer alignment: char *memory_block = calloc(sizeof(uint32_t) + 1, 1); uint32_t *intptr = (uint32_t*)(memory_block + 1); /* possible undefined behavior */ uint32_t mvalue = *intptr; The undefined behavior happens as the pointer...

The following code has undefined behavior: char buffer[6] = "hello"; char *ptr1 = buffer - 1; /* undefined behavior */ char *ptr2 = buffer + 5; /* OK, pointing to the '\0' inside the array */ char *ptr3 = buffer + 6; /* OK, pointing to just beyond */ char *ptr4 = buffer + 7; /* un...

While there are many different control sequences for io:format and io_lib:format, most of the time you'll use only three different ones: ~s, ~p and ~w. ~s The ~s is for strings. It prints strings, binaries and atoms. (Anything else will cause a badarg error.) It doesn't quote or escape anything...

PHP's runtime memory limit is set through the INI directive memory_limit. This setting prevents any single execution of PHP from using up too much memory, exhausting it for other scripts and system software. The memory limit defaults to 128M and can be changed in the php.ini file or at runtime. I...

An extension to PHP called Xdebug is available to assist in profiling PHP applications, as well as runtime debugging. When running the profiler, the output is written to a file in a binary format called "cachegrind". Applications are available on each platform to analyze these files. To...

If you are inside a folder of a git repository it might be nice to show the current branch you are on. In ~/.bashrc or /etc/bashrc add the following (git is required for this to work): function prompt_command { # Check if we are inside a git repository if git status > /dev/null 2>&a...

There are many cases when one has created an NSDate from only an hour and minute format, i.e: 08:12 The downside for this situation is that your NSDate is almost completely "naked" and what you need to do is to create: day, month, year, second and time zone in order to this object to &quo...
