Interesting. I asked to see if it would be safe to delete and reinstall open office and end up engaged in a long defense of why it might be correct for me to go for this project. But I will take away...

Those fiddly bits are a ........... Who knows where the heck they are. I just want to understand the general flow of the program (with help of compiler) and maybe that will be lots easier. Just like...

From what I understand, you can use the debugger in some compilers to trace which functions call what functions, and so forth, to speed up the understanding process. That's why I would want to...

I presently have Open Office installed on one of my PCs. I would like to uninstall it so I can download the source code, compile it, and study the C++ code in it.
My concern is that I have had...

Thanks, I never thought of downloading and compiling the entire source code. Lack of real world experience, I suppose. But that might be the trick I need to understand this monster. I've been trying...

Thanks for the ideas.

The trunk folder in this repository has about twenty folders, and some of the folders have twenty or so folders, and some of these folders have twenty or so source code...

I'm wandering about the file in the trunk of an open source repository. It's pretty big.
Are there any naming conventions to help me find my way around? Especially I want to know the files that are...

Thanks

I installed the compiler with MinGW, with the minimum of fuss, just added to the PATH variable.

Only place that stuck me for awhile was I forgot one had to run the executable after...

Yes, I plan to be very cautious. Working with people can get tricky, so I'm keeping my options open. Fortunately, I will not depend whoever I work with for my paycheck!

Thanks for the info. I will check it out.

Thanks for the info. I will sit back and consider my options.

I guess I'm a bit lazy. I build my own hardware (very time consuming) and figure it will take me plenty of work getting back into C++...

I'm looking at mythtv and open office as open source projects I might want to contribute to. Have any of you worked on these? How difficult is it to get involved and contribute work?

Thanks

Hi everyone.

I'm looking for a C++ compiler. I don't want to get into installing and configuring something like gcc, but I don't want to put out too much cash either.

I used to work on a 2003...

So if you have 64bit linux, can you set process size to unlimited>

What is the maximize process size allowable in linux? I would like to run a process with as large a size as possible.

I would guess there is a limit, because they need space for op system, maybe...

Yes I hope to get hardware configured to run ECC memory. It will cause a performance hit, however. Also ECC memory is not perfect, some soft errors will probably slip through. If a cosmic ray...

Yes, I'd forgotton about large data types. Doubles or larger types probably automatically implement 'extended precision'.

Thanks for pointing out to me the possible software solutions. I should...

I've discussed this issue with the professor, and have been told the main graduate student in discussion is quite competent in writing code. So apparently he can write multithreaded code, but doesn't...

I understand that computers use 'floating point representation' to represent fractions and very large numbers. This form of storage is vulnerable to all kinds of round off and significant figure...

When I studied computer science back in 2000 we learned that computers stored fractional numbers in floating point representation format, with a computer word divied into sign, signed exponent and...

Apparently at the supercomputer center there were lots of experts helping them run their programs on multiple processors, plus they used libraries. But they want to do some work on their own on a...

These are physics students, they really don't want to get into heavy programming. And I don't know if I have the time to help them.

They do run some of these programs on supercomputers, but they...

I know some graduate physics students who are writing research programs in C. These programs involve massive calculations.

I am trying to choose a configuration for a new workstation for these...

Thanks. So I'll try to open file streams maybe when the program is initialized, and then call them when needed (I have to figure out how to do this). Or make a class to take care of things, if I...

I have a program where I have to create many different file stream objects to create and write to files. Is it more efficient/faster to create these objects in functions, where they will be created...
