A pointer to base class can be converted to a pointer to derived class using static_cast. static_cast does not do any run-time checking and can lead to undefined behaviour when the pointer does not actually point to the desired type. struct Base {}; struct Derived : Base {}; Derived d; Base* p1 ...

Say you want to print variables in a 3 character column. Note: doubling { and } escapes them. s = """ pad {{:3}} :{a:3}: truncate {{:.3}} :{e:.3}: combined {{:>3.3}} :{a:>3.3}: {{:3.3}} :{a:3.3}: {{:3.3}} :{c:3...

By default the Large Object Heap is not compacted unlike the classic Object Heap which can lead to memory fragmentation and further, can lead to OutOfMemoryExceptions Starting with .NET 4.5.1 there is an option to explicitly compact the Large Object Heap (along with a garbage collection): GCSettin...

The ref keyword for callers of methods is now optional when calling into methods supplied by COM interfaces. Given a COM method with the signature void Increment(ref int x); the invocation can now be written as either Increment(0); // no need for "ref" or a place holder variable any m...

Using Code Contracts it is possible to apply a contract to an interface. This is done by declaring an abstract class that implments the interfaces. The interface should be tagged with the ContractClassAttribute and the contract definition (the abstract class) should be tagged with the ContractClas...

While System.Diagnostics.Contracts is included within the .Net Framework. To use Code Contracts you must install the Visual Studio extensions. Under Extensions and Updates search for Code Contracts then install the Code Contracts Tools After the tools are installed you must enable Code Contract...

Conditional contexts in Lua (if, elseif, while, until) do not require a boolean. Like many languages, any Lua value can appear in a condition. The rules for evaluation are simple: false and nil count as false. Everything else counts as true. if 1 then print("Numbers work.") ...

Conditional expressions can be done with ~[ and ~]. The clauses of the expression are separated using ~;. By default, ~[ takes an integer from the argument list, and picks the corresponding clause. The clauses start at zero. (format t "~@{~[First clause~;Second clause~;Third clause~;Fourth cl...

A data race or race condition is a problem that can occur when a multithreaded program is not properly synchronized. If two or more threads access the same memory without synchronization, and at least one of the accesses is a 'write' operation, a data race occurs. This leads to platform dependent, p...

Primary Constructor In Scala the primary constructor is the body of the class. The class name is followed by a parameter list, which are the constructor arguments. (As with any function, an empty parameter list may be omitted.) class Foo(x: Int, y: String) { val xy: String = y * x /* now...

Most times when people have to reverse a string, they do it more or less like this: char[] a = s.ToCharArray(); System.Array.Reverse(a); string r = new string(a); However, what these people don't realize is that this is actually wrong. And I don't mean because of the missing NULL check. It ...

However, if you're really serious about storage, and you want to store millions of images, you're going to need to leverage Mongo's GridFS infrastructure, and create yourself a storage layer. For that, you're going to need the excellent CollectionFS subsystem. Start by adding the necessary packages...

Given two types T and U, &T will coerce (implicitly convert) to &U if and only if T implements Deref<Target=U> This allows us to do things like this: fn foo(a: &[i32]) { // code } fn bar(s: &str) { // code } let v = vec![1, 2, 3]; foo(&v); // &Vec&l...

A class constructor must have the same name as its class. Let's create a constructor for a class Person: class Person { String name; String gender; int age; Person(this.name, this.gender, this.age); } The example above is a simpler, better way of defining the constructor than the...
