C++ and lua is always painful. Especially if you write the bindings by hand.
Working on my Lisp library in C.
I need a way to deal with memory leaks of the resulting program. I should also probably take a look at a JIT library.
If you have any tips or experiences please tell me.

Turns out that there's no real reason to use Lua if you're interacting with anything else.
If you really want stuff like dynamic code reloading or whatever for the engine just do something like this:
https://blog.molecular-matters.com/2014/05/10/using-runtime-compiled-c-code-as-a-scripting-language-under-the-hood/
And now anyone can just generate a suitable DLL and everything works fine.
Lua is pointless for this purpose. Same as any scripting language really.
>>55555115
Absolutely nothing.
>>55555115
It is yet another useless language that serves no purpose. Want plug-ins? dynamic loading. Want scripting? Scheme/bash/whatever.

Why should I learn a scripting language like Python/Ruby/Lua/PHP/Javascript when I can program is something like C/C++/Java/C#? Scripting languages seem so pointless unless you want to make something rough and ready.

They don't have much advantage over a compiled language in this regard. It's not like it takes more than a fraction of a second to compile and run.

Can someone tell me about job references? The one I'm applying to asked me to provide them with a couple after the interview. I have no idea what this involves and how I should handle it.
>>55555707
You call your previous employees and ask them for a reference, that's it.
>>55554990
Sounds pretty cool. I've barely learned about nodes and linked lists in C++, and I have no idea what to do with them.
>>55555649
So you can deal with code that people have written in languages like Python/Ruby/Lua/PHP/Javascript.
You're asking for reasons why you shouldn't learn something as if there's ever a reasonable excuse.
>>55555717
Ask them for a reference? This isn't the same thing as a letter of recommendation, right? I get their contact information then my new potential employer will contact them?
What kind of questions can they ask? A lot of the freelance clients I've had are western Europeans living in the states who speak poor English.
Need some help with Database Design.
So far I have picture related, it's basically a Database to keep track of Inventory and Purchases.
I wanted to also keep track of how many of each item is sold in a Purchase. What should I do to achieve that?
The Quantity field in the Item table is used to keep track of how many of that Item is in the Shop's Inventory. Should I create a Inventory table to register that or it's fine this way? Should I add a Quantity field in my ItemPurchase table to know how many of each item was bought?
>>55555735
Turn them into templates, if you haven't already.

If you have a letter from your previous employer that contains a reference then it's all you need to hand your new employer.

>Should I add a Quantity field in my ItemPurchase table to know how many of each item was bought?
Yep, that's the easiest way to do it.
Just a recommendation: don't give all of your tables the same primary key name.
Instead of 'id' everywhere, use ItemID, PurchaseID, etc.
It's easier to write queries later.

yesterday someone posted a "challenge" to calculate the sum of the multiples of 3 and 5 up to 1000 (exclusive)
let's make it harder:find the sum of the multiples of an arbitrary amount of numbers up to an arbitrary bound (exlusive)

>>55555840
In that case, yes, you'd just want to add another field to ItemPurchase.

>>55556187
I think he means that the function calculating the sum should accept two arguments, one being a list of divisors, the other being the upper bound of the operation, so like like for the example the function would be called like so:calc({3, 5}, 1000)
>>55556136
Is that supposed to be multiples of BOTH numbers or EITHER?
>>55556276
Either.
>>55556124
Thanks for the reply, I was stuck in this for at least 2 days trying to find the right answer.
I wanted to make a stupid question and I wouldn't mind at all if bash me.
How are the fields in the ItemPurchase table will be filled? I know the Quantity field will the filled by me, but are the ItemId and PurchaseId field be filled by themselves or do I need to add the ids by myself?
>>55556187
It means the function should be able to accept any amount of numbers (2,3,4,5,6,7 as an example) and sum multiples of each of those numbers under some specified constant (1000, for example, would mean that you'd consider 2, 4, ..., 998 for the multiples of 2).
>>55556276
Multiples of either of the numbers. Remember to remove dupes (ex: sum of multiples of 3 and 5 up to 16 should only count 15 once).

end

end
assert(calc({3, 5}, 1000) == 233168, 'Something happened.')

No, the range evaluates with the 5 as param and returns the iterable object.

>>55556450
You don't use an already iterated object for a loop. Use a traditional loop.

Take what I say with a grain of salt, I'm obviously not paying much attention to all of your code/am only getting the gist of some of the answers since I'm not familiarised with all your languages, but
I'm pretty sure most of your answers count some numbers twice. Taking 3 and 5, under 20, as an example:
[3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18]
[5, 10, 15]
wouldn't your answers count the 15 twice?

Which lisp dialect should I go with? GNU lisp? SICP? Racket?
>>55556552
I can't talk about the others but at least the C++ and Lua solutions will not since they do not generate lists of numbers for each divisor them sum them up, instead they loop through all the numbers in the range, and check every divisor until it passes, then they break immedietely for that number and continue with the next.
>>55556552
no, >>55556453 doesn't either.
the second solution is pretty obvious.
the first solution doesn't because all sum ranges are added to a set, which eliminates the duplicates.

Question, /g/. When I pass the pointer with the constant string, it's pointing at the start of it. Thing is that when I pass it to the function, it doesn't point elsewhere after the execution.
Is it because of the same reason when passing normal variables to functions and not its addresses, i.e. passing a copy of the content? Would I need to pass the address of a pointer to modify it?#include <stdio.h>

Well,
(*a) can be considered a int**
&(int**) can be considered int***
You're setting a to itself. However, I'm not sure you can do that in the line that declares a.
>>55557237
You will have a pointer of type (typeof(a))** stored in a variable of type int***. The typechecker may yell but could be circumvented by a static cast
>>55557309
I think it only works if the a on the rhs is being shadowed (e.g. it is a global variable)
>>55557237
It means the same asint ***a = a, which accesses an uninitialized variable, which is undefined behavior.

Short answer is they're easier, more abstract, and hold your hand more than the deeper languages.

Depending on the language, they can be much faster to develop with, and often have a much tighter feedback loop than compiled languages.

Also, often scripting languages are put inside of a program to allow you to extend them without digging into their codebase. (This is usually what Lua is used for)
And sometimes, they are the only option for some platforms, like JavaScript on the web.

In C#, I can just drag the execution pointer to whatever line I want to start at, and modify the subsequent lines, thus being able to modify a program midway through execution, while also retaining type safety.

The homosexual brain has the best traits from the heterosexual brains of each sex. This, combined with the social structure provided by homosexuality (more female friends, since they don't feel threatened by a homosexual man, to keep them updated on all the latest occurences + close male lovers who will not be afraid of pouring their bodies and minds into making you feel good, contributing to your well-being and clarity of mind, as well as being amazing for pair programming if you're in a relationship), makes the homosexual male the best kind of programmer, on average.
It may be true that in the future machines will programing themselves, but before that we'll yet witness the overtaking of the field of computer science by homosexuals, and it will be glorious. Homosexuality > Heterosexuality just as Functional Paradigm > Any other Paradigm.
Know your place, heterocucks.

How would you implement a general data structure in C without casting from and to void*? In C++ you can just use a template.
I'm not sure I understand Lambdas in C++.
I'm not particularly interested in learning them either. I don't think I am anyway. I'm very interested in learning them if they're a construct that lets me move code out to functions without actually having a function call.
Anyway, does anyone know good resources to learn?
>>55557952
I mean like this though.
Even if you don't like the language, you gotta admit the ability to do that is pretty slick.
Java has hotswapping too, but it isn't a sure thing, and you can't build an entire program by running it and incrementally adding things while it's running.
>>55558061
yes, it creates an external anonymous class with an operator() containing the code
>>55558029
Not him, but I think you're deluding yourself. Write a generic hash table in C without using void* or a preprocessor hack.
>>55558061
Lambdas are essentially syntax sugar for structs that catch some state as members and define an operator()()
>>55558044
I start to seriously doubt that you know what you are talking about.
>>55558054
>without casting from and to void*?
Ehh... by not casting from and to void *, it's that simple.
You can also do it with macros.
>In C++ you can just use a template.
Enjoy your slow compile times.
Also, this is another badly implemented feature of C++. Just use a language with parametric polymorphism.
>>55558074
What does this has to do with the topic?
>>55558054
>How would you implement a general data structure in C without casting from and to void*?
Well I'd probably find a good metaprogramming library/preprocessor that'd allow me to do that in a much nicer way than C++ templates. Even if they were nice, if they have the same compile times and debugging issues they do right now then they're not worth it. Copy paste.

>>55558102
What is this though?
>>55558062
Yeah, I know, and that's cool and all, but it would be trivial to create an actual user input at that point that is validated and type safe. That would make it so that an error typing real-time in your code doesn't crash the program or cause some other sort of destructive tomfoolery.

>>55558114
Like the other anons said, lambdas in C++ construct an anonymous class with state "captured" from the environment you create the lambda in. You can capture by ref, and capture by value, but there's no built-in syntax to copy by move. So, for example, moving a uniqueptr or vector into a closure is more annoying than it needs to be.
>>55558062
Just compile your code as a DLL and load it while you check for changes regularly.
It works well in any situation where I can imagine it makes sense to have hotswappable code.
>>55558093
C++ templates aren't the proper implementation, but they're better than the C answer of "just write it once for each type".
There is no arguing that C++ allows you to offer abstractions that C does not, or that these abstractions are useful. When you don't need them, C is great, when you do, C is the wrong language.
>>55558093
>Do it with macros
I think C++ is an awful language and I vastly prefer C, but implementing generics with preprocessor macros is about as appealing as putting my hand in boiling water...
>>55558125
>Yeah, I know, and that's cool and all, but it would be trivial to create an actual user input at that point that is validated and type safe.
Though, you don't have to create this... This is built right into the environment and is battle tested.
>That would make it so that an error typing real-time in your code doesn't crash the program or cause some other sort of destructive tomfoolery.
Yeah, that kinda sucks when that happens, but that just signals a condition which lets you retry the last thing you screwed up. After you fix it, you are back in business.
>>55558159
Oh? That sounds pretty cumbersome and error prone, but I don't actually know about swapping anything in and out realtime while developing.
>>55558054
>In C++ you can just use a template
in C, you just don't need to cast
>>55558074
>generic hash table in C without using void*
why not use void*? you can use it at will without needing a cast; do you know anything about C?
>>55558236
I don't disagree, but even when you do need them, C++ is again the wrong answer.

Working on a badass swiss-army reverse engineering tool called PINCE
https://github.com/korcankaraokcu/PINCE
I know I posted this project to here before but I just wanted to share the updates. PINCE now has a disassemble screen with a few cool functionality on it, a GDB Console, complete docstrings(except PINCE.py), initial code injection, settings screen aaand a wiki page
Only 1 year remaining on my schedule. Am I going to make it /g/?
>>55558251
>in C, you just don't need to cast
So you're complaining that type-casting to/from void* isn't done implicitly in C++?
>>55558285
Your posts clearly show that you do not.
>>55558301
There is no implicit typecast.
>>55558249
>pretty cumbersome and error prone
Not all that cumbersome. Depends on how your dll-side code interacts with the outside code.
Was linked earlier in thread too: >>55555141
And that's for code that's intended to interact heavily with the non-dll codebase.
If you have a platform layer of some sort and load all the code you may want to swap as a DLL there's practically no difficulty in this. You pretty much only need two OS features, loading the DLL and getting the/a function pointer(s) from the DLL so you can call it.
Watch out for global variables though. You can fix that but it's harder.
>>55558300
Looks neat mate, keep up the good work

Why not practice a bit on a side project or two? (Or contribute to an OSS codebase to see what you are getting yourself into.)

No one knows/thinks about it in terms of hours. If you have strong portfolio and relevant domain knowledge, you can let your skills speak for themselves.
