I'm trying to implement some math algorithms in C on Windows 7, and I need to repeatedly increase size of my array. Sometimes it fails because realloc can't allocate memory. But if I allocate a lot of memory at once in the beginning it works fine. Is it a problem...

c,macros,printf,ternary-operator
This question already has an answer here: Why is “i” variable getting incremented twice in my program? 8 answers Why outputs of i and j in the following two printf()s are different? #include <cstdio> #define MAX(x,y) (x)>(y)?(x):(y) int main() { int i=10,j=5,k=0; k==MAX(i++,++j); printf("%d %d %d\n",i,j,k); i=10,j=5,k=0; k=MAX(i++,++j); printf("%d...
c,loops,for-loop,macros,printf
#include <stdio.h> #define rows 500 //can define rows as any number int main() { int i,j; for(i=0;i<=rows;++i) { for(j=0;j<(2*i+1);++j) { printf("* "); } printf("\n"); } return 0; } So here is my code, what it does is it prints the number of rows set by #define and creates a right...
c,armcc,predefined-macro
Is there Predefined-Macros define about byte order in armcc. I am a novice on the armcc.and sorry for my English. In gcc these are macros: __BYTE_ORDER__ __ORDER_LITTLE_ENDIAN__ __ORDER_BIG_ENDIAN__ __ORDER_PDP_ENDIAN__ ... Now I have to use armcc, Is there same like these with armcc? Thank a lot. by the way,the armcc...
c,static,scope,return
I've read a lot of questions about returning pointers in C, but am still confused with the issue of scope. The following code works because of the call to malloc, and one possible output might end up being Wide string: StackOverflow. #include <stdlib.h> #include <string.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <wchar.h> static...
c,gcc,binaryfiles
Is there anyway i can look into the values of a structure after compilation? objdump -td gives the function definitions and only the address where the structure is stored. The problem is i am getting a wrong address for one of the threads/functions in a structure when i run a...
python,c,arrays
I am in the process of learning how to call C functions from Python by making wrappers. My final goal is to pass huge complex arrays declared in Python to my C functions and get back other huge complex arrays. I have started with an easy example in order to...
c,arrays,pebble-watch,cloudpebble
I'm trying to create a simple dice-rolling application in Pebble using C on CloudPebble. I have an array of different die sizes you can scroll through using Up/Down, and you roll (currently just generate a random number, it'll get fancier later) using the middle button. There's also a label at...
c,scope
The following code is for replacing multiple consecutive spaces into 1 space. Although I manage to do it, I am confused in the use of curly braces. This one is actually running fine: #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> int main() { int ch, lastch; lastch = 'a'; while((ch = getchar())!= EOF)...
c,function,return,language-lawyer,return-type
I found some interesting code lines: #include <stdio.h> int main() { printf("Hi there"); return main(); } It compiles ok (VS2013) and ends up in stackoverflow error because of the recursive call to main(). I didn't know that the return statement accepts any parameter that can be evaluated to the expected...
c,multithreading,table,rainbowtable
I'm trying to implement parallelism to this function I want it to take as many threads as possible, and write the results to a file. The results need to be written in the file in the incrementing order so the first result needs to be written first the second second...
c,smartcard
I have the task to write some crypto stuff in C and make it lightweight. The idea behind making it lightweight is, that it could run on a smartcard which doesn't offer much computational power and memory. It won't come to actually running it on a smartcard and it won't...
