Documenting your work Remember what you've done and retain long outputs which can't be kept in WinDbg's buffer. It's always good to have a log available for reproducing debugging steps, e.g. to ask questions on Stack Overflow. CommandPurpose.logopencreate a log file.logcloseclose the log file.dump...

Following are the Prerequisites for installing Cookiecutter: pip virtualenv PostgreSQL Create a virtualenv for your project and activate it: $ mkvirtualenv <virtualenv name> $ workon <virtualenv name> Now install Cookiecutter using: $ pip install cookiecutter Change dire...

This example finds a point on a bezier or cubic curve at position where position is he unit distance on the curve 0 <= position <= 1. The position is clamped to the range thus if values < 0 or > 1 are passed they will be set 0,1 respectively. Pass the function 6 coordinates for quadrati...

The Symbol.for method allows you to register and look up global symbols by name. The first time it is called with a given key, it creates a new symbol and adds it to the registry. let a = Symbol.for('A'); The next time you call Symbol.for('A'), the same symbol will be returned instead of a new o...

For more complex applications, flat execution profiles may be difficult to follow. This is why many profiling tools also generate some form of annotated callgraph information. gperf2dot converts text output from many profilers (Linux perf, callgrind, oprofile etc.) into a callgraph diagram. You can...

Google Perf Tools also provides a CPU profiler, with a slightly friendlier interface. To use it: Install Google Perf Tools Compile your code as usual Add the libprofiler profiler library to your library load path at runtime Use pprof to generate a flat execution profile, or a callgraph diagram...

This is an example of an implementation of the identity monad in JavaScript, and could serve as a starting point to create other monads. Based on the conference by Douglas Crockford on monads and gonads Using this approach reusing your functions will be easier because of the flexibility this monad...

Bootstrapping Magento by calling: require_once 'app/Mage.php'; Mage::app(); // Your code This is the simplest way but not really the Magento way because we're not using class that extends Mage_Shell_Abstract - the class which when extended provides us with tools to parse command line arguments...

Magento way File resides in shell/custom.php <?php require_once' abstract.php'; class Stackoverflow_Shell_Custom extends Mage_Shell_Abstract { protected $_argname = array(); public function __construct() { parent::__construct(); // Time limit to infinity ...

The std::nth_element algorithm takes three iterators: an iterator to the beginning, nth position, and end. Once the function returns, the nth element (by order) will be the nth smallest element. (The function has more elaborate overloads, e.g., some taking comparison functors; see the above link for...

.exr -1 gives you details about the last exception thrown. !analyze -v usually does a good job as well. For .NET, the command !pe of the SOS extension shows details about the .NET exception that was thrown.

PyKD is a WinDbg extension that enables you writing Python scripts. It's open source. Typically, the extension is not available side by side to any other DLL, so it is usually loaded with .load x:\full\path\to\pykd.pyd, where PYD is the extension for a python DLL, but you can rename it to DLL if yo...

Print the path to the active developer directory (selected Xcode) xcode-select -p Select a different version of Xcode, e.g. Beta sudo xcode-select -s /Applications/Xcode-beta.app Reset to the default version of Xcode sudo xcode-select -r This is equivalent to running sudo xcode-select -s /Appl...

Ref returns and ref locals are useful for manipulating and returning references to blocks of memory instead of copying memory without resorting to unsafe pointers. Ref Return public static ref TValue Choose<TValue>( Func<bool> condition, ref TValue left, ref TValue right) { ...

We're going to use the expression tree API to create a CalculateSalesTax tree. In plain English, here's a summary of the steps it takes to create the tree. Check if the product is taxable If it is, multiply the line total by the applicable tax rate and return that amount Otherwise return 0 ...

Sometimes we want to look at what is sent and received in the SOAP request. The following methods will return the XML in the request and response: SoapClient::__getLastRequest() SoapClient::__getLastRequestHeaders() SoapClient::__getLastResponse() SoapClient::__getLastResponseHeaders() For ex...

When pasting text through a terminal emulator, the auto-indent feature may destroy the indentation of the pasted text. For example: function () { echo 'foo' echo 'bar' echo 'baz' } will be pasted as: function () { echo 'foo' echo 'bar' echo 'baz' ...

When static_cast is used to convert T D::* to T B::*, the member pointed to must belong to a class that is a base class or derived class of B. Otherwise the behavior is undefined. See Derived to base conversion for pointers to members

The following uses of pointer arithmetic cause undefined behavior: Addition or subtraction of an integer, if the result does not belong to the same array object as the pointer operand. (Here, the element one past the end is considered to still belong to the array.) int a[10]; int* p1 = &a...

For the built-in shift operator, the right operand must be nonnegative and strictly less than the bit width of the promoted left operand. Otherwise, the behavior is undefined. const int a = 42; const int b = a << -1; // UB const int c = a << 0; // ok const int d = a << 32; // ...
