GTK#-related error on MonoDevelop 2.8.5 on Ubuntu 11.04

- by Mehrdad

When I try to create a new solution in MonoDevelop 2.8.5 in Ubuntu 11.04 x64, it shows me: System.ArgumentNullException: Argument cannot be null. Parameter name: path1 at System.IO.Path.Combine (System.String path1, System.String path2) [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0 at MonoDevelop.Core.FilePath.Combine (System.String[] paths) [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0 at MonoDevelop.Projects.ProjectCreateInformation.get_BinPath () [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0 at MonoDevelop.Projects.DotNetProject..ctor (System.String languageName, MonoDevelop.Projects.ProjectCreateInformation projectCreateInfo, System.Xml.XmlElement projectOptions) [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0 at MonoDevelop.Projects.DotNetAssemblyProject..ctor (System.String languageName, MonoDevelop.Projects.ProjectCreateInformation projectCreateInfo, System.Xml.XmlElement projectOptions) [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0 at MonoDevelop.Projects.DotNetProjectBinding.CreateProject (System.String languageName, MonoDevelop.Projects.ProjectCreateInformation info, System.Xml.XmlElement projectOptions) [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0 at MonoDevelop.Projects.DotNetProjectBinding.CreateProject (MonoDevelop.Projects.ProjectCreateInformation info, System.Xml.XmlElement projectOptions) [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0 at MonoDevelop.Projects.ProjectService.CreateProject (System.String type, MonoDevelop.Projects.ProjectCreateInformation info, System.Xml.XmlElement projectOptions) [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0 at MonoDevelop.Ide.Templates.ProjectDescriptor.CreateItem (MonoDevelop.Projects.ProjectCreateInformation projectCreateInformation, System.String defaultLanguage) [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0 at MonoDevelop.Ide.Templates.ProjectTemplate.HasItemFeatures (MonoDevelop.Projects.SolutionFolder parentFolder, MonoDevelop.Projects.ProjectCreateInformation cinfo) [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0 at MonoDevelop.Ide.Projects.NewProjectDialog.SelectedIndexChange (System.Object sender, System.EventArgs e) [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0 I strace'd it and saw repeated failed accesses to files like: /usr/lib/mono/gac/gtk-sharp/2.12.0.0__35e10195dab3c99f/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0.la so I'm assuming that's the cause of the problem. However, I've installed (and re-installed) anything GTK#-related that I could think of... and the error still occurs. Does anyone know how to fix it?

Changing file permissions in kernel.

- by Mehrdad

I am writing kernel module(C in Linux) and I want to change the permission of the other files in it. any solution? since I am in kernel I can't use chmod syscall and ... thanks for your help This is my Makefile: > obj-m += ca.o > > all: > make -C /lib/modules/$(shell uname -r)/build M=$(PWD) modules > > clean: > make -C /lib/modules/$(shell uname -r)/build M=$(PWD) clean And this is my Code: > #include <linux/string.h> > #include <linux/mm.h> > /* Snip, tons of includes (all of them :))*/ > #include <linux/delay.h> .... int procfile_write(struct file *file, > const char *buffer, unsigned long > count, > void *data) { ... sys_chmod(path, per); ... } ... When Making it gives a warning: WARNING: "sys_chmod" [file] undefiened and when loading the module with "sudo insmod" it gives this error: Unknown sybol in module it seems that this error happens especialy in kernel modules. any idea? again thanks!

How to figure out "progress" while sorting?

- by Mehrdad

I'm using stable_sort to sort a large vector. The sorting takes on the order of a few seconds (say, 5-10 seconds), and I would like to display a progress bar to the user showing how much of the sorting is done so far. But (even if I was to write my own sorting routine) how can I tell how much progress I have made, and how much more there is left to go? I don't need it to be exact, but I need it to be "reasonable" (i.e. reasonably linear, not faked, and certainly not backtracking).

How to stable_sort without copying?

- by Mehrdad

Why does stable_sort need a copy constructor? (swap should suffice, right?) Or rather, how do I stable_sort a range without copying any elements? #include <algorithm> class Person { Person(Person const &); // Disable copying public: Person() : age(0) { } int age; void swap(Person &other) { using std::swap; swap(this->age, other.age); } friend void swap(Person &a, Person &b) { a.swap(b); } bool operator <(Person const &other) const { return this->age < other.age; } }; int main() { static size_t const n = 10; Person people[n]; std::stable_sort(people, people + n); }

C++ vector that doesn't initialize its members?

- by Mehrdad

I'm making a C++ wrapper for a piece of C code that returns a large array, and so I've tried to return the data in a vector<unsigned char>. Now the problem is, the data is on the order of megabytes, and vector unnecessarily initializes its storage, which essentially turns out to cut down my speed by half. How do I prevent this? Or, if it's not possible -- is there some other STL container that would avoid such needless work? Or must I end up making my own container? (Pre-C++11) Note: I'm passing the vector as my output buffer. I'm not copying the data from elsewhere.

How to store a list in a column of a database table.

- by John Berryman

Howdy! So, per Mehrdad's answer to a related question, I get it that a "proper" database table column doesn't store a list. Rather, you should create another table that effectively holds the elements of said list and then link to it directly or through a junction table. However, the type of list I want to create will be composed of unique items (unlike the linked question's fruit example). Furthermore, the items in my list are explicitly sorted - which means that if I stored the elements in another table, I'd have to sort them every time I accessed them. Finally, the list is basically atomic in that any time I wish to access the list, I will want to access the entire list rather than just a piece of it - so it seems silly to have to issue a database query to gather together pieces of the list. AKX's solution (linked above) is to serialize the list and store it in a binary column. But this also seems inconvenient because it means that I have to worry about serialization and deserialization. Is there any better solution? If there is no better solution, then why? It seems that this problem should come up from time to time. ... just a little more info to let you know where I'm coming from. As soon as I had just begun understanding SQL and databases in general, I was turned on to LINQ to SQL, and so now I'm a little spoiled because I expect to deal with my programming object model without having to think about how the objects are queried or stored in the database. Thanks All! John
