c99 - In C, if this isn't an address constant, what is it? -

-

what, exactly, numbers in following declaration, if not address constant?

int main() {     int numbers[3] = {1,2,3};     return 0; }

disassembling program shows 1, 2, , 3 dynamically placed on local stack space, rather whole array being treated constant. hence, {1,2,3} not have static storage duration, numbers not address constant, per c99 spec.

c99, section 6.6.9: "an address constant null pointer, pointer lvalue designating object of static storage duration, or pointer function designator..."

however, adding line numbers++ after declaration causes following compile error in gcc 4.1.2:

error: invalid lvalue in increment

so constant, isn't address constant. know official name of type of constant in c99 (or similar)?

numbers non-constant, automatic, array variable of function main.

because automatic , non-constant can not have static storage.

because array variable (and not you'll notice pointer) can not incremented.

note can do

int main() {     int numbers[3] = {1,2,3};     int *n = numbers+1;     n++;     return 0; }

C#: Application without a window or taskbar item (background app) that can still use Console.WriteLine() -

-
i'm trying create application adheres following: no taskbar no console or form window can utilize console.writeline() . (i.e. if executes app command prompt write console.) the problem if create windows form (or wpf) application can have there no taskbar, console or window show up, console.writeline() nothing. if create console app, writes console, can't figure out how hide (and if did hide it, write command prompt window?)... how do this? just create standard console application. callers responsibility hide window caused program (from how run c# console application console hidden ): system.diagnostics.processstartinfo start = new system.diagnostics.processstartinfo(); start.filename = dir + @"\myprocesstostart.exe"; start.windowstyle = system.diagnostics.processwindowstyle.hidden;

c++ - Convert big endian to little endian when reading from a binary file -

-
this question has answer here: how convert between big-endian , little-endian values in c++? 28 answers i've been looking around how convert big-endian little-endians. didn't find solve problem. seem there's many way can conversion. anyway following code works ok in big-endian system. how should write conversion function work on little-endian system well? this homework, since systems @ school running big-endian system. it's got curious , wanted make work on home computer also #include <iostream> #include <fstream> using namespace std; int main() { ifstream file; file.open("file.bin", ios::in | ios::binary); if(!file) cerr << "not able read" << endl; else { cout << "opened" << endl; int i_var; double d_var; while(!file.eof()) {...

openssl - Load PKCS#8 binary key into Ruby -

i'm trying load particular private key encoded in binary der format ( pkcs#8 ) ruby. however, openssl::pkey won't recognize it. can make work doing console work , transforming pem so: openssl pkcs8 -inform der -in file.key -passin pass:xxxxxxxx >private_key.pem after this, key can correctly read. however, since whole process done in memory instead of writing , reading files. so question is: possible load private keys binary encoded der format ruby/openssl? thank time, fernando yes, can indirectly load pkcs#8 der-encoded private keys using ruby openssl. openssl::pkey::rsa.new handle pem-formatted pkcs#8, easy read binary der , convert pem-formatted string , load string. for example, these der-encoded private keys: $ openssl genrsa | openssl pkcs8 -topk8 -outform der \ -nocrypt -out pkcs8.key $ openssl genrsa | openssl pkcs8 -topk8 -outform der \ -v2 des3 -passout pass:secret -out pkcs8_des3.key you can this: require 'open...
