how to write path of external file in an included c++ source -

-

suppose i'm writing library or set of tools mytool class mytool other people can use defined. suppose have directory tree this:

project | - program1     | - main1.cpp ... | - mytool     | - mytool.h     | - mytool.cpp     | - data.txt

in tool1.cpp use external binary huge file data.dat:

ifsteam f("data.txt");

the main1.cpp use mytool, if mytool.(s)o linked main1.o program can't find data.dat, case need change previous line to:

ifstream f("../mytool/data.txt");

but can't know other people put mytool example can have different directory tree:

project | - program1     | - main1.cpp     | - mytool         | - tool1.h         | - tool2.cpp         | - data.dat

in addition (am right?) path depend on program executed.

the solution can imagine pass class contructor mytool path of data.dat want keep hidden file user.

you need know absolute path of file, or else path of file relative working directory. 1 approach have configuration script user runs before compiling program. script hardcodes program relevant path, program has path hardwired in manner customized user.

sometimes that's not option because don't want distribute source code, or because wish allow path change @ runtime. can read configuration file @ runtime says file is. layer of abstraction: still need know configuration file is. might, example, ask system user's personal directory is, , find file there @ directory. sort of mix between compile-time , runtime computation of path.

Javascript line number mapping -

magically formatted comments change reported line number of javascript errors in browsers; this: //@line n "f" n line number , f file name. unfortunately, //@line appears ungoogleable. know there documentation on feature, , browsers support it? (i found references here , here .) from can find available in mozilla based browsers. it using js_setoptions command can turn these options on or off depending on values passed. https://developer.mozilla.org/en/js_setoptions

c# - Is it possible to remove an existing registration from Autofac container builder? -

-
something along lines: builder.registertype<mytype>().as<itype>(); builder.registertype<mytype2>().as<itype>(); builder.deregistertype<mytype>().as<itype>() var container = builder.build(); var types = container.resolve<ienumerable<itype>>(); assert.istrue(types.count == 1); assert.istrue(types[0].gettype == typeof(mytype2)); scenario: go through bunch of assemblies , go register types want make sure have 1 implementation of given type. need before create container. track on own nice if autofac me bit. this cannot done directly using containerbuilder , unless start on new one. mind you, having first built container should able construct new container filtering away unwanted types , reusing registrations first container. this: ... var container = builder.build(); builder = new containerbuilder(); var components = container.componentregistry.registrations .where(cr => cr.activator.limittype != typ...

php - Mysql PK and FK char(36) vs int(10) -

-
i have read mysql can handle indexes , searches better if tables keys integers rather char(36) uuid's. is worth converting int(10)? note: use 1 server , have have plans use multiple databases concurrently therefore removing 1 of big reasons using uuid. our tables innodb if makes difference. thanks in advance. usually rdbms can handle integer keys pk more efficient, other datatypes. reason how build index column, yes: long dont require string (or other typed) keys, should use integers. however: char(36) , int(10) far away being equal, because int(10) much smaller, char(36). dont know, if require many different keys, should keep in mind. update, complete last paragraph: int(10) 32-bit, char(36) 36 - ^byte^ (= 288-bit). not mean, int consumes less space, means, char(36) has 4 times more different keys.
