Aha, thanks. I'm not too knowledgeable about stacks and heaps. My general impression was that stacks are easier to use when inside a function because the memory allocated to the stack variable automatically gets garbage collected. Being a lazy programmer who just wants programs to work, I...

Hm, well I want such a large range because I want to calculate the value of a Gamma function near 0, and this requires a numerical integration, and I am using an extended trapezoidal rule. Yes, for such kinds of ill-behaved integrands, it is probably better to use a variable interval-size...

Hi, I want to run this program: #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> int main(int argc, char** argv) { double y[100000000]; # that's a double array of size 10^8 y[0] = 1; y[99999999] = 1; printf("%f %f\n", y[0], y[size - 1]); } I have a dual 2.5GHz G5 w/ 2.5G of...

I'm using 10.3.9, and I wrote a program that needs to access a lot of memory, so I wanted to do ulimit -s unlimited but OS X won't let me. I did a ulimit -H -a and found stack size is hard limit is 64M. I know on Linux, there is a /etc/security/limits.conf file root can edit...

thanks, will get adc membership!

Yeah, I installed Xcode (1.2) that came with my Panther install CD. Do you know if you have to be an ADC member to install Xcode updates? thanx mr. concaca!

yeah, i forgot to mention, i am using g++, hence the #include <cstdio> the thing that i don't understand is that on my linux machine, the code above works correctly, so it gives a different result than on my mac. and i thought as long as you were able to see a macro (meaning if it...

Hello, I'm doing some calculations for my master's thesis, and I think I found a bug in gcc/g++. So can some knowledgeable person tell me whether it is/isn't a bug, and if so, should I report it to Apple? So I boiled the problem down to 2 simple programs, one buggy and the other not...

Hi. Assuming you're using OS X, gdb/gcc should be available on the Developer Tools CD. Just install it that way, as Developer Tools (or whatever its called these days) installs other stuff like C include files and things necessary for compiling and debugging a program. BTW, if you are in need...

Hi, one day a long time ago (3 yrs), I was working on Javascript where I really wanted to be able to use Java/C++ style inheritance instead of the built in prototype inheritance, so I came up with a scheme to do this. Now I'm working on some ActionScript in Flash and needed this facility yet...

Cool, Visage from VersionTracker did the trick. I really like it.:D

Is there a way to customize the wallpaper of the login screen? thanx

Does anyone know how to make the error_log () function print out to Console.app? I want to call error_log(message, 0) I know there is a variable in php.ini called error_log = syslog. I've tried error_log = "/dev/console" in php.ini, and no cigar. :confused:

A while ago, I started a thread about why C is so hard to learn. See, I am not a CS student or a computer professional. A long time ago I bought K&R's C Programming Language for a summer job in college, I was so clueless that I did a void main() { int *i; for( *i = 0; *i < 5...

Ahh, so that's what the screen shot of the web browser in the doc was. I forgot what brand my router is. But thanks for the tips. Now I think I know what to do. Cool! OS X is great for physics BTW. In fact the reason why I wanted the X DISPLAY was so I can make sure my hmwk for my "math...
