I've edited my post accordingly. Thanks for the comments. I think there is some info on this message thread that could be useful to other newbie programmers like myself, so whoever downvoted my post please consider reverting the downvote or I will be forced to delete this post and this entire message thread. — Richard Jarram 9 secs ago

Thanks you all. Unfortunately, I had to abandon the project in this way, because the development cost is too high. It's not easy to use PHP in conjunction with Oracle, since Oracle, in its Procedures, doesn't make it easy for programmers to try to integrate different technologies in a simple way. — Mauro Simoes 55 secs ago

Questions asking for opinions are generally not fit for Stackoverflow, this is the reason the question is closed. You could consider other stackexchange site like: softwarerecs.stackexchange.com, codereview.stackexchange.com and others see: stackexchange.com/sites Its better to reframe your question or simple asking how to solve a specific problem. — Oluwatobi Samuel Omisakin 45 secs ago

The focus at Stack Overflow is to provide help with technical development issues. Asking for links, software recommendations etc is beyond the scope of the questions that you can ask at Stack Overflow. Please edit your question to show what you've tried and what didn't work to prevent comments and solutions you've already tried. — A. Kootstra 7 secs ago

@user1538301 this question is a poor fit over there for the same reasons as here. Please abstain of recommending sites you're not familiar with. See What goes on Software Engineering (previously known as Programmers)? A guide for Stack Overflow — gnat 7 secs ago

Welcome to SO! Please do not take any offense, but your question reminds me of this helpful letter. It would certainly help if you could present at least something you already had in your mind. — Twonky 51 secs ago

And what makes you think the author is affiliated, @QBrute? Free Code Camp is respectable, and doesn't spam. I take what Danito says at face value. They saw this and thought it would be a useful link to share with a community of programmers. (It is, but not as a Stack Overflow question.) — TRiG 54 secs ago

I fully understand the purpose of NUL termination. My question is more around 'good practice'. Lack of NUL termination gives other programmers the opportunity to misuse the variable. Is the opportunity for misuse an issue? I'm gathering from the answers here that it is not. — Mike Seeds 45 secs ago

@tripleee I posted here because my question pertains to proper settings for programmatically generated messages specifically using Mailkit. Only programmers would know the answer becuase non-programmers don't use mailkit. — Mocolicious 10 secs ago

Not the answer, but maybe it can help generate some ideas: softwareengineering.stackexchange.com/a/342735 — Rahul Bharadwaj 28 secs ago

Hi charlotan, this question is pretty broad for StackOverflow - try softwareengineering.stackexchange.com instead. All listed ideas are potentially good approaches, but without more information regarding the code base itself I don't think anyone could give you a more detailed answer. — jfaccioni 1 min ago

Something that isn't always obvious to new c++ programmers is that a c++ compiler doesn't just do a direct 1-to-1 translation of c++ source code into corresponding CPU opcodes. Rather, it converts the c++ source into an internal low-level representation, and then it runs a very elaborate series of optimization steps on that internal representation before finally translating the low-level instructions into the appropriate CPU opcodes. After all the optimization steps have completed, the program is guaranteed to behave the same as the original c++ code, but may be implemented quite differently. — Jeremy Friesner 27 secs ago

^^ :) This is a site for programmers, not the comedy channel. Using the documented facilities of a library is hardly a hack. My code continues to run and do what it is supposed to in a production environment, despite the commentary. People put others down because inside, they are insecure, and knocking down others is the only way they can feel secure. Walking through every answer with a negative comment and not posting some better answer, is trolling at best. I won't be convinced otherwise. — Richard Collette 53 secs ago

In Stata a variable is a column or field in the dataset (only). The terminology is standard statistically but not to many programmers, depending on what else they know. Many other entities in Stata have variable-like roles, such as macros, scalars, matrices and more besides. — Nick Cox 33 secs ago

Looking for recommendations on a library is off-topic for this site. Voting to close. See sister site: softwarerecs.stackexchange.com — Basil Bourque 57 secs ago

@VLAZ I think you're reading too much into my use of the word "guess". The interpreter is trying to determine what the programmer meant and made a bad call. Yes, its deterministic, and yes its behaving exactly according to the specs. That's really beside the point though. Using semicolons avoids this situation entirely, and using semicolons is the programmers call. — Amy 26 secs ago

@alteredinstance useful lessons indeed, but they should be taught in a C programming class. Teaching C in C++ classes has left with world with a glut of young programmers who think they know C++ and don't. — user4581301 53 secs ago

Programmers do prefer 0-based indexing, which is why it's bizarre that Python uses 1-based indexing for stop positions. I don't know many computing languages, but they've all had only one convention. Python has two. The for-loop examples here are deceptive. When I write "5:12", or "range(5, 12, 3)", I mean "go from 5 to 12". If I wanted 11, that's what I would have written. You use one — bzip2 33 secs ago

@einpoklum The question deals with software algorithms and tools (parsing, parser generators) commonly used by programmers. On the other hand, it's almost certainly homework. — danportin 8 secs ago
