I'll give that some thought.

I thought it was on tools->options->resharper.. been a while since I touched resharper though. Either way hopefully ctrl+comma works for ya

Robert Harvey

There's a Suspend button on the Options/Resharper Ultimate dialog. Apparently it's one-way.

I don't know how to "resume it manually."

Jimmy Hoffa

@RobertHarvey it turns into enable or whatever after you "suspend" it

Robert Harvey

Yeah, that worked.

Jimmy Hoffa

click it, doesn't hurt. You can go right back and turn resharper right back on in that pane when you're done

Robert Harvey

12:04 AM

Wow, the VS popup menus look familiar again.

Jimmy Hoffa

yeah, faster too. At employer^^ they required devs use resharper, and had all kinds of procedure docs telling you step by step how to do shit like builds and deployments using resharper tools. I always left it suspended so I could meet the requirement, and would just enable it if anybody gave me shit about "that doesn't work right, you need resharper!" pfleh.

They were also utterly clueless and wrote the worst system I'd ever seen

@enderland is this a good interview strategy?

Do you need me to do a quicksort on the whiteboard or produce a generation of offspring or something? It might take me a bit, but I can do it.

try the sister site programmers.stackexchange.com else use the drop down top left for other stackexchange sites. — simbo1905 35 secs ago

Programmers or Code Review would be a better fit for this question — RGraham 1 min ago

Nah, I reckon its because I closed his question AFTER saying it is a better fit for programmers.StackExchange.com — Jeremy Thompson 49 secs ago

There is a continuum between compilers & interpreters. But it is still off-topic here. You could ask a better focused question (after doing some research) on programmers.stackexchange.com - where several questions are related to yours here. — Basile Starynkevitch 30 secs ago

@Snowman that was basically what I was trying to hint at with "because they are often too broad" ... For the record I personally abstain from recommending Programmers because I'm not sure what belongs there. I do opt against migrating when in doubt and that's where my comment is coming from.. — Vogel612 46 secs ago

gads, just about brained myself on the parking garage stairs just now... raining out, wet shoes and the stairs are a smooth concrete with smooth metal edges, thank god for hanging onto the railing or I'd have cracked my head something fierce. That'll wake ya up in the morning O_O

Thomas Owens

Hm. Apparently, there's some difference between these two implementations that causes one to work and one to not work:

String str = convertToString(object);
transmit(str);

and

transmit(convertToString(object));

André

weird

Thomas Owens

I do the first one, and I never get truncated strings. I do the second one, and transmit sometimes doesn't do what I expect because the string is truncated and forms an incomplete message payload.

André

can you reproduce that on a unit test?

Jimmy Hoffa

@ThomasOwens I think I would create an entirely new project and test that fact in isolation very carefully first. That smells like the classic "I changed this, and it suddenly changed everything!" that's from some actual other environmental side effect (not running a build from the sources you think you are, etc)

Thomas Owens

12:44 PM

I can't consistently reproduce the failing case.

Jimmy Hoffa

@ThomasOwens even with the same object?

Thomas Owens

I think it's a threading thing. There is some mystical threading happening in the JMS connection / session/ sender / subscriber objects.

Jimmy Hoffa

log all properties of the object, log the string, then do it, find a failure case and see if any of the properties is unique (null property? etc)

Thomas Owens

@JimmyHoffa That's how I identified the issue.

Jimmy Hoffa

@ThomasOwens threading is not mystical... if it's "a threading thing" then you're sharing resources that need to be synchronized

Thomas Owens

12:46 PM

The thing is that the method call is async in a library.

Jimmy Hoffa

@ThomasOwens async != concurrent

user114359

@ThomasOwens are you sure it depends on that specific code?

Thomas Owens

I'm still investigating more. But it's weird that I made one change to facilitate debugging and my problems went away.

Jimmy Hoffa

@ThomasOwens do you have multiple threads that call "transmit" ?

Thomas Owens

No.

Jimmy Hoffa

12:48 PM

...are you sure?

user114359

I would also check the compiled byte code, the compiler may elide that temporary anyway. If so, you are barking up the wrong tree.

Jimmy Hoffa

(multiple threads calling the parent method? or it's parent method? walk the call stack up and look for any entry points that may be from N threads)

Thomas Owens

The QueueSession and QueueSender hide a bunch of stuff.

But I'm going to dig through this. Something just doesn't add up here at all.

user114359

Once you have threads and JMS involved all bets are off. Works great until it doesn't.

Jimmy Hoffa

@ThomasOwens so they may be dispatching to your code from multiple threads. Synchronize your code:

ConcurrentQueue<string> _messageQueue = new ConcurrentQueue<string>();
Thread _messageTransmitter = new Thread(TransmitMessages);
bool _keepTransmitting = true;
private void TransmitMessages() {
  while(_keepTransmitting) {
    string messageToTransmit;
    while (_messageQueue.Dequeue(out messageToTransmit)) {
      transmit(messageToTransmit);
    }
    Thread.Sleep(1000);
  }

then instead of transmit(convertToString(object)) you call _messageQueue.Enqueue(convertToString(object))

and let the thread transmit the messages synchronized

(I don't know java, but I think that code gets the simple concept across)

user114359

Does C++11 have an equivalent of Java's static imports?

ratchet freak

using namespace::class I think

user114359

using namespace ::Namespace::Class::Constant gives "must be a namespace type" while removing the namespace keyword gives "class-qualified name not allowed"

user114359

Not a huge deal if it does not work, I have an initialization method that makes many references to a constant. I suppose I could cram it in a local reference variable.

user114359

This is all for brevity and localized to one block of code

Q: Does one line of GPLed code make program a "derived work"?

I've recently run into some argument with a person that claims to be a lawyer (I have my suspicions about this not being completely true, though). As far as I know, copying even one line of code from GPLed program into proprietary body of code requires you to release the whole thing under GPL, i...
