Unbufferred output in bash shell
by Verdi March 31 Aug '05

31 Aug '05

Hi, when I redirect the output of a program to a file, e.g. myprog > file.txt, the shell seems to buffer the output before writing to the file. From my observation on my machine, the buffer seems to be 4K. Is there a way to let bash immediately write any output strings to file (not using buffer at all)? TIA. -- Regards, Verdi -- GMX DSL = Maximale Leistung zum minimalen Preis! 2000 MB nur 2,99, Flatrate ab 4,99 Euro/Monat: http://www.gmx.net/de/go/dsl

Autotools Project-wide settings?
by Steven T. Hatton 30 Aug '05

30 Aug '05

Suppose I want all my source files to be placed under $(top_srcdir)/include/name/space/name, and therefore want something like the results of AM_CPPFLAGS = -I$(top_srcdir)/include in all my gcc invocations. One way I've found, which seems to work is to create a $(top_srcdir)/Makefile.project with the AM_CPPFLAGS line, then include $(top_srcdir)/Makefile.project in all the Makefile.am instances. The only drawback to this is that I need to be sure the line is in all the Makefile.ams. It's not that big of a deal if I'm maintaining by hand, but if I use a tool that manages my Autotools configuration, it may not cooperate. I've read that it's not a good idea to change the CPPFLAGS variable itself, as might be done with autoconf AC_SUBST (VARIABLE, [VALUE]). Is there a way to accomplish this without messing with each Makefile.am? -- Regards, Steven

Fwd: "Formal" solution: parser.y:7: error: `stderr' undeclared (first use in this function)

I posted this to gnu.gcc.help, but it seems worth asking on this list as well. Particularly since it was strongly suggested by participants that I read this book.

C++ technicality
by John D Lamb 24 Aug '05

24 Aug '05

Here's a puzzle: I'd like to define something like typedef std::pair<int,P*> P; I can obviously do class P : public std::pair<int,P*>{}; or typedef std::pair<int,void*> P; The first gives me objects of class P where P.second is a pointer to a subclass of what I really want. The second gives me something where, with careful use of reinterpret_cast, I can create pointers to what I really want. The puzzle is can I create a standard pair where pair.second is a pointer to an element of the class I've created without using reinterpret_cast in some way? There is a real point to this: I'd like to avoid reinterpret_cast so that g++ can detect errors better in a complicated template class (a protected subclass of std::multimap that can act like a linked list) but am constrained to use std::pair and not some convenient derived class. -- JDL

Adolph, I don't know how much trouble this would be but you could create symbolic links on your machine to point to the NFS mounted libraries.

Which endian is up?
by Steven T. Hatton 05 Aug '05

05 Aug '05

I'm trying to parse an ELF file to build a human readable representation. I know it's been done before, and there are tools such as objdump, nm, readelf, c++filt, etc. I can look at the source to see how they are implemented. In most cases, that means reading C, not C++. I do have an example of C++ code that works. I thought it might be a good idea to take a different approach than that code takes. Rather than processing the data from in std::ifstream as ELFIO does, I wanted to read it into a buffer, and work on it from there. One option is to use a std::stringstream, and treat it like and do basically the same thing ELFIO does with the std::ifstream. What I currently have is a std::vector<char>, which I thought would be a good thing to use. But if I try to do that, I have to find a different way to do things such as m_pStream->read( reinterpret_cast<char*>( &m_header ), sizeof( m_header ) ); My intent was to work on the file from the point of view of it just being data, rather than a stream. Is that simply "not the way it's done"? Another question I have is this: The ELF file starts with an identification tag which carries such information as encoding type (big endian, little endian), the class of the machine(32 or 64-bit), etc. That's all in specifically ordered bytes. That leaves a question opened. Doesn't the host encoding determine which byte is treated as 0? IOW, the first four bytes are specified as '0x7f', 'E', 'L', 'F'. If that were read by a machine that uses the opposite endian, would that not come across as 'F','L','E','0x7f'? Even more perplexing is this: the rest of the ELF header is formed of heterogeneous data types. See below. Does that mean some of the data might be put into the wrong location by the reinterpret_cast<> above? // Platform specific definitions. typedef unsigned long Elf32_Addr; typedef unsigned short Elf32_Half; typedef unsigned long Elf32_Off; typedef signed long Elf32_Sword; typedef unsigned long Elf32_Word; // ELF file header struct Elf32_Ehdr { unsigned char e_ident[EI_NIDENT]; Elf32_Half e_type; Elf32_Half e_machine; Elf32_Word e_version; Elf32_Addr e_entry; Elf32_Off e_phoff; Elf32_Off e_shoff; Elf32_Word e_flags; Elf32_Half e_ehsize; Elf32_Half e_phentsize; Elf32_Half e_phnum; Elf32_Half e_shentsize; Elf32_Half e_shnum; Elf32_Half e_shstrndx; }; -- Regards, Steven
