Ah true, path coverage was the hot topic of our Software Testing class last year

You heard about the Ariane 5 desaster? The software in question was proven to work for the Ariane 4. But the higher thrust of the Ariane 5 meant that a certain function could experience integer overflow, which wasn't caught (as it couldn't happen on the Ariane 4), resulting in explosive loss of the unit. Funny thing is that this functionality was actually the result of a workaround necessary on the Ariane 4 that could have been done without on the successor in the first place... BOOM. ;)

skiwi

But... why was it not tested with the Ariane 5's data?

Morwenn

That reminds me of that satellite that was lost because someone wrote +i instead of +1. From what I have been said, it was old Fortran, and when a variable hadn't been previously declared, it was initiaized with garbage.

" Despite the extent of the explosion, investigators were able to locate and extract information on the memory contents of the internal computer systems and in conjunction with later tests, they were able to reproducibly determine the cause of the failure. "

@Morwenn: Or the legendary failure of NASA to correctly handle metric vs. imperial...

Morwenn

@DevSolar That one is priceless!

DevSolar

@skiwi: "While the Inertial Reference System could not be tested by "Black Box" methods directly without an actual flight, it would have been possible to simulate the launch by supplying the processor with appropriate input. This would have detected the fault, but this type of test was not performed. Instead, the SRI was replaced by a simulator which fed correct values to the main onboard computer during the pre-flight testing. "

I.e., budget.

skiwi

I'm sure rebuilding the whole thing cost more ultimately ;)

@Morwenn: I've got this in lowercase here on my desk. A software written for international data processing. Including full internal Unicode capability. But a certain piece of software assumed that 1 character = 8 bit...

Hellovart

if i set *this = Constructor(); inside a overloaded constructor before the code, will i get problems

DevSolar

....leading to an exception in the Unicode converter when fed a partial UTF-8 sequence.

Morwenn

@DevSolar That's awfuk.

DevSolar

@Hellovart: You don't set this, ever.

Hellovart

yes you do, if you're validating

Morwenn

12:12 PM

@Hellovart I don't think that this is available in the constructor initialization list anyway.

Hellovart

yes it is

Morwenn

You're right, there are actually obvious uses to it.

DevSolar

@Hellovart: You're validating what?

Hellovart

im not validating anything, i just thought if i set the current object to the constructor i would save code

DevSolar

@Hellovart: Erm... sorry but parse error. What, exactly, are you trying to do?

Hellovart

12:16 PM

Okay, i have a no arg constructor that has some default assignments, then i have an overloaded constructor with those same assignments and more

DevSolar

Understood.

Hellovart

if i just set *this = Constructor() can i save code

Morwenn

Do you use C++11?

Hellovart

sure

DevSolar

Don't assign to this. You can list Constructor() in the initializer list IIRC. (BIG grain of salt... personally I'd not do this but list the initializers seperately.)

DevSolar

@skiwi: You know the type of question on StackOverflow? "If I do this, I get strange results. Why?" -- "You're invoking Undefined Behaviour, all bets are off." -- "But why do I get those results when I do it?" -- "DON'T do it!"

Several rounds later, you do explain why, on a certain platform using a certain compiler, this result might be what happens (just to end the discussion), and they tromp off with a big "thank you" and you get that sinking feeling that you will one day come across some code that relies on exactly this behaviour. Usually when facing a situation where this assumption does not hold...

3

skiwi

@DevSolar My own assumption: If the user seems to be a veteran SO user, it will hopefully be alright, if he's not: Be prepared for anything.

DevSolar

Even vanilla code can hold big surprises. Like the day when I found (through a code refactoring that stopped working correctly for hard-to-find reasons) that va_arg and references are a volatile mixture...

skiwi

12:31 PM

Great, the only way my unit test could show a failure, is by infinite execution

DevSolar

void foo( std::string & parmN, ... ) { /* evaluation of va_arg does not work as expected */ } -- surprise.... (can you tell why?)

Any takers?

skiwi

@DevSolar Is that full code?

rolfl

Does it compile? ( jest....)

skiwi

I didn't know ... was possible without denoting a type

rolfl

@DevSolar Dumb ways to die?

Morwenn

12:38 PM

@DevSolar Because old variadic functions are evil. Use variadic templates instead.

DevSolar

@skiwi: ... is the way that e.g. printf() handles variable-length parameter lists.

Morwenn

Or tinker something with the preprocessor, macro dispatch and variadic macros.

DevSolar

@Morwenn: Yes they are evil. But it was what the code in question used. I just shuffled the parameters around so they would make more sense, and ended up with a reference as last named parameter. Which gave some really funny results.

rolfl

►

Morwenn

@DevSolar I suppose it has to do with the size of a reference.

DevSolar

12:41 PM

Solution is, common implementations of va_arg take the address of the last named parameter (via &) to get a pointer into the function's stack frame. In the case of a reference, what you get is a pointer to the referenced variable, which is well outside the stack frame. So anything you get pulled from there via va_arg will not be a parameter of the current function. ;)

As a technical PM of mine once said, "every bug is obvious once you found it". But I can tell you, the results I got in the debugger had me really confused for some time...

Morwenn

These variadic functions should really be avoided.

rolfl

What is the symptom of the problem? A compile error, an intermittent runtime error, or abend of the program?

Morwenn

IB

Inconsistent Behaviour.

rolfl

Are compile-warnings available that identify it?

DevSolar

IB, exactly. It compiles fine, but whatever you pull through va_arg will basically be random. I don't know if any compilers warn about it; the one I used at the time didn't. (Testing...)

rolfl

12:44 PM

Language design fault......

Morwenn

Yep. C legacy.

skiwi

This is sneeky what I hav ejust encountered...

rolfl

Not legacy problem.... current problem.

Morwenn

C includes a good share of the common C++ problems.

skiwi

public void add(final Card card) {
    Objects.requireNonNull(card);
    queue.add(card);
}

public void addAll(final Collection<Card> cards) {
    Objects.requireNonNull(cards);
    queue.addAll(cards);
}

Can anyone spot the error? ;)

Morwenn

12:46 PM

Nope, legacy. These variadic functions are superseded by variadic templates :o

DevSolar

Nope, no warning with g++ -Wall -Wextra.

rolfl

^^^^ not a legacy problem.

Morwenn

-Wextra?

rolfl

legacy is legacy..... dealing with legacy is a fact of life.

DevSolar

@Morwenn: Sorry, edited.

rolfl

12:46 PM

Not handling legacy issues in the current version is a current-version problem.

Morwenn

Yep, but what I meant is that such code shouldn't be written in modern C++.

@palacsint Nope, the code I just posted here is part of the Deck class. BTW.nice_reviews

rolfl

12:49 PM

Is Card a final class?

palacsint

Then, the collection might contain nulls

skiwi

@Vogel612 A little hint: See what the add method checks, and see what the addAll method checks

@palacsint Yep, pesky little bugs

rolfl

         public void addAll(final Collection<Card> cards) {

     should be:

        public void addAll(final Collection<? extends Card> cards) {

Morwenn

Sometimes, you don't know how to solve the problem with the old tool, but you know how to replace the old tool by a new one to safely solve the problem.

Vogel612

@rolfl given Card is an abstract class you don't need that.

skiwi

12:50 PM

@rolfl I know about it, but still need to learn how to deal with them, showing that single piece of code might have learnedit me though

Currently you cannot use a Collection<MonsterCard>

DevSolar

@Morwenn: But I agree with him, this is a simple case to check for, and a construct that cannot be used correctly.

skiwi

While MonsterCard implements Card, so it is a Card

Vogel612

soo Card is an interface now?

skiwi

It's always been

Vogel612

meh. mine is an abstract class..

skiwi

12:53 PM

I know

Vogel612

prefer not having to care about getName() anymore ;)

skiwi

I think the Hand class deserves a get(int) method though

Because currently there's no way to get detailed information of a card without actually playing it, which... would not be nice

konijn

The UI would need to have this info

skiwi

@konijn Yep, sorry misworded that last sentence there :p

And then it also makes sense to implement Iterable<Card>

Yes, I always wanted to iterate my card when an inside straight didn't work out... (/duck)

skiwi

@rolfl I'm quite annoyed by it at the moment

I got a `Hand` (internally `List<Card>`), which nicely implements `Iterable<Card>`, such that you can use enhanced for loops on it. The `Iterable<Card>` gives a default implementation for ` spliterator()`.
However to get a `Stream<Card>` I need to do something ugly as `StreamSupport.stream(hand.spliterator())`

While something being Iterable<T> implies to me that you can also obtain a Stream<T> from it

I will have a column for the complete text of the tweet and another where only the words of the tweet will remain (I need the words to calculate which words were most used later). How I currently do it is ...

@Malachi x.x. You'll probably catch me (if you already haven't since writing that). Haven't been answering much lately :p

Malachi

@Corbin I am doing my best to catch as many as I can before we graduate! I wanna make sure that I stay on the first page! :)

I still need 48 Rep so far to catch you @Corbin

A: Is there a "prettier" way of forming this query, or a more efficient way of joining the tables?

in your while statement you are listing all sorts of information inside of one list item tag, I am not so sure this is intentional, it looks like it is going to be really messy. I think you should look into creating sub-lists there especially for the multiple Department names and Job Names. you...

Q: Another way to run reports on a SpiceWorks SQLite database using a linked server in SSMS?

I created a linked server in SSMS so that I could run reports on a SpiceWorks SQLite database. there are a few quirks in the whole system. These simple queries are becoming some of the most expensive queries on my reporting SQL Server, I kind of know why, is there a way that I can do this diffe...

Refactoring time

its funny because pimps carry ammo

Now I'm torn on if I should vote on those or not. Haha :D. Luckily as long as I stay in like the top 10%, I don't care much about rep.

I used to feel a compulsion to accrue rep. Now I'm just lazy.

We're not the same site as we were 6 months ago, it looks like people do vote (at least a little), even without pimpin'.. got 2 votes in 30 minutes on an unpimped answer.

Hmmm, I am getting stuck at 11.9 K forever, of course paying 200 in bounties does not help ;)

The upshot is that I will probably award a bounty to myself ;)

Mat's Mug

@konijn unfortunately that's not something the system allows - if it's not awarded to someone else, ....the 200pts are burned!

konijn

Ah ah ah, had I known , I would not have answered, now people wlll be even less inclined to write a review

Mat's Mug

Thanks so much. I have confidence in your answer. I will try it soon. — user1477388 29 secs ago

Q: Reading text from 2 files. Java

So I've got this 2 simple files writen in notpad. The content of the first one, called besede.txt is: To je vsebina datoteke z besedami. V njej so razlicne besede ki imajo lahko pomen ali pa tudi ne. The content of the second one, called skrivno.txt is: 4 3 19 2 3 2 4 3 I wrote a program (in J...

How can I create code blocks within intendation without breaking anything?

Mat's Mug

space space space space, rinse & repeat

skiwi

I meant in answers on SO to be sure we're on the right track

I'm doing the space vs tab now

Vogel612

Ctrl + K

skiwi

But I need a horizontal rule to actually allow me to do something liek that

Vogel612

nope..

@Mat'sMug It looks like I've left a typo in the first sentence. You can correct that. ;-)

A: Reading text from 2 files

There are quite some things you can improve here, this list may not cover everything that could be improved though: Adhere to the Java naming conventions. Classes are named in PascalCase for example, so it would be public class Meow. On other places it seems fine. Use proper indentation everywh...

Could anyone guide me how to fix it?

I cannot seem to get the numbered list and code blocks combined

konijn

Done

Mat's Mug

@Jamal done. reworded the references part where he explains what the numbers mean

konijn

You had tabs there, tabs no work

use 8 spaces

skiwi

Ah, thanks @konijn

Jamal

6:47 PM

SE hates tabs (and fun).

konijn

Geen probleem ;)

skiwi

I also see you have intended the could be rewritten as

konijn

yes

4 spaces

otherwise the recounting happens

Vogel612

AFAIK 1 Space is enough to prevent recounting, but it's been a while..

skiwi

Ah so there's the two fixes detailed ;)

And I didn't even intend to answer a question... But it just happened.

@Vogel612 That won't be the easiest thing to create

I don't think I'll do it in my base implementation..

Vogel612

@skiwi it's boring without a nemesis, and I feel like some AI would be harder...

skiwi

Actually, integrating it in the system should be fairly easy.

If a View gets all input and output done via it, then a network connection could also be a view... Though might need some more work

Culprit might be that you need to be able to accept multiple views

Vogel612

Or i just put it on a JBoss or sth and manage the Instances of Game correctly...

skiwi

Or perhaps better, use a pattern to combine two views into one

Not familiar with JBoss here, apart form that I know what it is

Vogel612

well Apache should do too..
