This is not a defect, it is by design. The rationale for this can be found in A Proposal to Add an Extensible Random Number Facility to the Standard Library (N1398) which says (emphasis mine): On the other hand, the specifications for the distributions only define the statistical result, not the precise algorithm to use. … Read more
Yes, there is a good and universal solution. EXSLT‘s function common:node-set() can be implemented as an inline Javascript function and is thus available with any browser that supports Javascript (practically all major browsers without exception). This technique was first discovered by Julian Reschke and after he published it on the xsl-list, was publicized by David … Read more
Yes, you will definitely need -XstartOnFirstThread to get this working on Mac OS X. Since it’s a VM parameter, you can only specify it when launching your application, so detecting the OS from you code and setting it if it’s Mac OS X is not possible. The solution on the Eclipse site creates a proper … Read more
The only ‘standard’ thing about NDEBUG is that it’s used to control whether the assert macro will expand into something that performs a check or not. MSVC helpfully defines this macro in release build configurations by defining it in the project for you. You can change that manually by editing the project configuration. Other toolchains … Read more
Please don’t hesitate to expand this answer. Tkinter Tkinter is the toolkit that comes with python. That means you already have everything you need to write a GUI. What that also means is that if you choose to distribute your program, most likely everyone else already has what they need to run your program. Tkinter … Read more
You can use psutil (https://github.com/giampaolo/psutil), which works on Windows and UNIX: import psutil PROCNAME = “python.exe” for proc in psutil.process_iter(): if proc.name() == PROCNAME: print(proc) On my machine it prints: <psutil.Process(pid=3881, name=”python.exe”) at 140192133873040> EDIT 2017-04-27 – here’s a more advanced utility function which checks the name against processes’ name(), cmdline() and exe(): import os … Read more
When cross-compiling, the toolchain file normally sets the variable CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH. Combined with the CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH_MODE_LIBRARY variable set to ONLY, CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH variable is used as effective chroot for find_library calls, so only libraries under the given prefix(es) are searched. Analogue variables exist to adjust the behavior for find_path (used for searching include paths) and find_program. THe toolchain … Read more
There is no generic command to clear the console on both platforms. #include <cstdlib> void clear_screen() { #ifdef WINDOWS std::system(“cls”); #else // Assume POSIX std::system (“clear”); #endif }
You have two problems. Let’s tackle them one at a time 1: the difference between python 2.5 and 2.6 on the same platform with the same font These two versions of python use different versions of tk. On my mac box, 2.5 uses tk version 8.4.19 and 2.6 uses 8.5.7. In version 8.5.2 of tk … Read more
I am author of jni4net, open source interprocess bridge between JVM and CLR. It’s build on top of JNI and PInvoke. No C/C++ code needed. I hope it will help you.
