VIM with tags

Using vim coding program for a long time. It's a very good tool "ctags" to work with vim when coding.

Create tags

#ctags -R *

Naming tags

#ctags -R * -f tagName

In vim, using below command to setting PATH of tags:

:set tags=./tags,../tags

or

:set tags=tags; Add ; can recursive search tags from parent folder.

[C/C++ basic] Preprocessing #if defined(SHAWN)

It's lot of usage same as #ifdef Like #if defined(...) When using #if defined(...) we can used logic AND/OR for preprocessing.

Sample 1:

#ifdef ABC
// do something
#elif DEF
// do something
#else
// do something else
#endif

Sample 1 above can be simply recoding as:

#if defined(ABC) || defined(DEF)
//do something
#else
// do something else
#endif

[C/C++ basic] Preprocessing #ifdef, #elif, #else

Today I using C/C++ preprocessor to compile my code, But I have a little confuse about "is #elif can work correctly with #ifdef"?

#ifdef TEST_IFDEF
	printf("Test #ifdef");
#elif TEST_ELIF
	printf("Test #elif");
#else
	printf("Test #else");
#endif

And after my trying. It's work well :D

[C/C++]switch-case with range?

There is an interesting discussed after today study group. Is C/C++ support switch-case with range of integer!? Let see a example :

//===================
switch (a)
{
	case 1 ... 10:
		//do somthing
		break;

	case 11 ... 20:
		//do somthing
		break;
	default:
		//do something 
		break;
}
//===================

This is successfully with gcc compiler. But not done with VC++ That's because Standard C doesn't support switch-case with range. I found the answer from http://c-faq.com/misc/nonconstcase.html If using gcc with option -pedantic, then will be error occur when compile like below: warning: range expressions in switch statements are non-standard unless you are clarify what are you doing, and understand the code portable issue. DONOT using switch-case with range! (my own suggestion...)

Using mii-tool/ethtools to sniff status of network interface

When I am trying using mii-tool on my new develop environment, Some error occur, and the log message like below:

# mii-tool -V mii-tool.c 1.9 2000/04/28 00:56:08 (David Hinds) SIOCGMIIPHY on 'eth0' failed: Operation not supported no MII interfaces found

Then I google this problem find out, mii-tool has lot of bug, and some net drivers didn't support it. So, I am trying using ethtool which have more compatibility. And it work great!!

# ethtool eth0 Settings for eth0: Supported ports: [ TP MII ] Supported link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full 100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full Supports auto-negotiation: Yes Advertised link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full 100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full Advertised auto-negotiation: Yes Speed: 100Mb/s Duplex: Full Port: MII PHYAD: 1 Transceiver: internal Auto-negotiation: on Link detected: yes

So, If just want to know about network status, Maybe ethtool is better than mii-tool, But, unfortunately, I still need to resolving mii-tool's problem for our environment. So, If you meet the trouble about "no MII interfaces found", make sure the mii-tool is follow up the newest one release. It would possible make the trouble disappear...or not...OTZ

Mac OS disable/enable .DS_Store

Mac OS will create .DS_Store on Network Disk. And it would confused the other operation system user. This is the way to disable auto create .DS_Store. defaults write com.apple.desktopservices DSDontWriteNetworkStores true
