In the broad spectrum of things I would imagine that most of you don’t notice or care, but Gneu.org has had a number of things change in the last couple months. I am currently in the process of transferring things over to the new hosting provider (MyHosting.com) where I have more control over my server and have to pay less for better performance. It was a long time in coming and only after a friend of mine (the notorious TJMonk) gave me a kick in my pants recently did I pay attention to the performance i was getting at my previous host.

I apologize ahead of time as the process requires some crafty DNS changes to be able to make it smooth.

Things will settle in shortly.

Bitwise Arithmetic – 1

Leave a reply

One of the more important concepts to maintain in C programming has got to be it’s focus on creating fast and terse code to do amazing things. Most of the programmers I have worked with have completely brushed over bitwise arithmetic in their careers on the grounds that they are never going to use it. As with calculus, bitwise arithmetic gives us all a different frame of reference, in terms of being able to solve problems.

Detecting Memory Leaks in C/C++

Leave a reply

On Linux valgrind is about as good as it gets. The program runs your application with overridden allocation methods and will alert you to any memory that is allocated and not freed: 

$ > valgrind --tool=memcheck -v --track-origins=yes ./yourApp [params]

On windows you can leverage the crtdbg.h functions, which basically do the same as above, but require you to call _CrtDumpMemoryLeaks() when you are ready to see the report of any memory you did not dump. 

Detected memory leaks!
Dumping objects ->
{18} normal block at 0x00780E80, 64 bytes long.
 Data: <                > CD CD CD CD CD CD CD CD CD CD CD CD CD CD CD CD

Effective UnrealScript – An Introduction

Leave a reply

When I first started out programming the problems I faced were monumental:

  • What is a variable?
  • Why do I need a pointer?
  • For the life of christ, who cares about the differences between stacks and queues!?

Well, here I am some many (many, many) years later and it occurred to me an hour ago that the quality of my complication has increased so much that I don’t even know how to answer those questions well any longer, at least not without drawing. I am about to set out on a new side project to help build upon the concepts that many of us take for granted, hopefully delving into something a bit more involved – what to do once you understand these concepts.

I just completed the update to the Programmers Notepad 2 scheme for UnrealScript. The keywords and some base classes are supported. Unfortunately the case sensative flag is not really working with me, but ill be reaching out for assistance in the next couple days. Hopefully I can add it and the API doc to the supported list in the next release!?
