You can retrieve the data stored at the located referenced by the pointer variable, using the ToString() method. The following example demonstrates this: using System; namespace UnsafeCodeApplication { class Program { public static void Main() { unsafe { ...

You can pass a pointer variable to a method as parameter. The following example illustrates this: using System; namespace UnsafeCodeApplication { class TestPointer { public unsafe void swap(int* p, int *q) { int temp = *p; *p = *q; *q = temp; ...

In C#, an array name and a pointer to a data type same as the array data, are not the same variable type. For example, int *p and int[] p, are not same type. You can increment the pointer variable p because it is not fixed in memory but an array address is fixed in memory, and you can't increment th...

For compiling unsafe code, you have to specify the /unsafe command-line switch with command-line compiler. For example, to compile a program named prog1.cs containing unsafe code, from command line, give the command: csc /unsafe prog1.cs If you are using Visual Studio IDE then you need to enabl...

$ gzip extremelylargefile.txt & $ bg $ disown %1 This allows a long running process to continue once your shell (terminal, ssh, etc) is closed.

Simple single port RAM with async read/write operations module ram_single_port_ar_aw #( parameter DATA_WIDTH = 8, parameter ADDR_WITDH = 3 )( input we, // write enable input oe, // output enable input [(ADDR_WITDH-1):0] waddr, // ...

There are frequent behavior patterns that can result in a lot of boilerplate code. By declaring a method that takes a Closure as a parameter, you can simplify your program. As an example, it is a common pattern to retrieve a database connection, start a transaction, do work, and then either commit ...

It is (almost always) a bad idea to call System.gc(). The javadoc for the gc() method specifies the following: "Calling the gc method suggests that the Java Virtual Machine expend effort toward recycling unused objects in order to make the memory they currently occupy available for quick re...

The Path class is used to programmaticaly represent a path in the file system (and can therefore point to files as well as directories, even to non-existent ones) A path can be obtained using the helper class Paths: Path p1 = Paths.get("/var/www"); Path p2 = Paths.get(URI.create("f...

Information about a path can be get using the methods of a Path object: toString() returns the string representation of the path Path p1 = Paths.get("/var/www"); // p1.toString() returns "/var/www" getFileName() returns the file name (or, more specifically, the last ...

Joining Two Paths Paths can be joined using the resolve() method. The path passed has to be a partial path, which is a path that doesn't include the root element. Path p5 = Paths.get("/home/"); Path p6 = Paths.get("arthur/files"); Path joined = p5.resolve(p6); Path otherJoi...

To interact with the filesystem you use the methods of the class Files. Checking existence To check the existence of the file or directory a path points to, you use the following methods: Files.exists(Path path) and Files.notExists(Path path) !Files.exists(path) does not neccesarily have t...

Files can be read byte- and line-wise using the Files class. Path p2 = Paths.get(URI.create("file:///home/testuser/File.txt")); byte[] content = Files.readAllBytes(p2); List<String> linesOfContent = Files.readAllLines(p2); Files.readAllLines() optionally takes a charset as para...

Files can be written bite- and line-wise using the Files class Path p2 = Paths.get("/home/testuser/File.txt"); List<String> lines = Arrays.asList( new String[]{"First line", "Second line", "Third line"}); Files.write(p2, lines); Files.writ...

When making a bind of something, for example a date you may want to show it in a specific format without messing around with it in the code. To do this we can use the StringFormat property. Here are some examples: Text="{Binding Path=ReleaseDate, StringFormat=dddd dd MMMM yyyy}" This...

There is no single command to rename a MySQL database but a simple workaround can be used to achieve this by backing up and restoring: mysqladmin -uroot -p<password> create <new name> mysqldump -uroot -p<password> --routines <old name> | mysql -uroot -pmypassword <new na...

The following commands can be used to swap the names of two MySQL databases (<db1> and <db2>): mysqladmin -uroot -p<password> create swaptemp mysqldump -uroot -p<password> --routines <db1> | mysql -uroot -p<password> swaptemp mysqladmin -uroot -p<password&gt...

Renaming a table can be done in a single command: RENAME TABLE `<old name>` TO `<new name>`; The following syntax does exactly the same: ALTER TABLE `<old name>` RENAME TO `<new name>`; If renaming a temporary table, the ALTER TABLE version of the syntax must be used....

Renaming a column can be done in a single statement but as well as the new name, the "column definition" (i.e. its data type and other optional properties such as nullability, auto incrementing etc.) must also be specified. ALTER TABLE `<table name>` CHANGE `<old name>` `<n...
