    qt porting blackberry-playbook qwt qnx
    I am new to Qt, cross compiling and porting so please bear with me.My goal is to use the Qwt library on Playbook OS for a Qt based application. I found a nice tutorial on Qt for Blackberry Playbook and I managed to get a simple Qt “Hello World” application running on my tablet.My next step was to build the Qwt library and make use of it in my application. I spent some time reading about qmake and I built the library along with an application with no problems but when I run the application it cra

    compilers porting
    I had legacy code that was originally build for some quite old version of compiler. We are talking about native code, not managed. Now it is ported to almost newest version of the compiler. Every compile error was fixed and now the product is properly compiling and running.But:although it compiles and even runs… how can I be sure is is working as expected? can I be sure that underlying runtime does not change in a way that it introduces new and unexpected runtime bugs? what are best practices

    I am trying to make a C++ library used by one of my classes work on both Windows and Linux (it was designed for Linux). The code for it is here (it’s not large). I am compiling with MinGW on Windows 7 64 bit.I’m running into trouble with HTTPInputStream during the final linking stage.

    c casting pthreads 32bit-64bit porting
    I’m trying to convert some old 32 bit code to 64 bit. One of the more frequent warnings I get is:warning: cast of pointer to integer of different sizethis happens when a function calls pthread_create which accepts a void * for passing data to the new thread. The calling thread puts in that void * an enum (hence the size mismatch in 64bit). Here’s the code:typedef enum { zero, one, two }numbers_e;some_function(…) {numbers_e mydata=zero;…pthread_create(…, (void *)mydata);… }I managed to ov

    c porting
    I am having some trouble dealing with some C code. Can someone explain this syntax:void some_function(Int16 omegaFlag[2][8]) {for(i = 0; i < 2; i++){Int16 *Flag = omegaFlag[i] + 1;for(j = 0; j < k; j++){// do some stuff*Flag++ = some_integer_value;}} }1. Why the parameter Int16 omegaFlag[2][8] passed in some_function() declares index values? How are they helping the code(in general, not specific to this code)? 2. *Flag++ = some_integer_value;: What does this line mean?

    I am working on porting a Java codebase to Cocoa/Objective-C for use on desktop Mac OS X.

    As the title says, I have successfully compiled, linked and ran a program made in sfml-1.6 on Linux Mint 14. I used g++ for compiling. However as soon as I moved the source files to Windows and tried to compile to the Windows equivalent of the sfml libraries, it crashes. The program compiles and links just fine but it crashes BEFORE it reaches main. I have made sure I dont have any global objects/variables in my own .h files. But I cannot do it for the sfml library.
