performance - Pros/cons to using char for small integers in C -

-

Is there a disadvantage in using char for the small integer? What is the benefit other than occupancy / memory benefit?

Specifically, the processor is likely to face with integer arithmetic on a char , better than or worse (a long / < Code> short ) int ?

I know that this processor / system / compiler will be unique, but I am hoping to respond normally, or, at least, the normal case for 32-bit Windows and Solaris, I present I'm working on the system. I also agree that things like Overflow / Cover Problems have already been dealt with.

Update: In Visual Studio 6.0, exactly like stdint.h Christopher has not suggested that one with windows on stacks (VS 6.0, debug build, 32-bit) Small benchmarking gives int and long to provide similar performance, which is almost twice as fast as four . The same test on Linux is similar to int and long running with GCC, and both are faster than char, though the difference is less clear.

As a side note, I have not spent a lot of time, but (via) uint_fast8_t defines unsigned char Despite this, at least in my trials slow, thus the moral of the story, as Christopha correctly suggests: always the benchmark!

C99 Added so called 'Fastest' minimum-width integer type to solve this problem For the category that interests you, type int_fast8_t and uint_fast8_t , which can be found in stdint.h .

>

Keep in mind that there may be no performance gain (the increase in memory consumption may be slow); As always, the benchmark!

Do not prematurely or fully optimize the possible flawed assumptions of the work.

c# - How to capture HTTP packet with SharpPcap -

-
I would like to capture all incoming HTTP packets on my machine. To do this, I am using SharpPcap which is a WinPcap The cover is. SharpPcap works very well, but it captures TCP packets and what it wants to do for me is a very low level. Does anyone know how can I easily get full HTTP requests / reactions from all these TCP packets? Thanks SharpPcap is already able to capture the packet in the same way That's what the virus does (just in the code instead of the GUI). And you can either either parse them directly or you can put them in the drive in the common .pcap file format. The steps to parse the capture are: Open a connection at any time Loop a while Or start capturing using an event callback Parsing the raw packet for the type you want If you are reading .PPP dump files In addition to calling you an offline capture reader is almost the same, there is no need to select an interface, and you can set the majority There is no need to do the modes. All st...

php - Multiple Select with Explode: only returns the word "Array" -

By using Wordpress I have created a multiple selection box so that users can select categories to exclude. When the page is initially loaded, I see my predefined default option. However, when I select a new value and I save ... I only see the word "Array" and have not chosen anything else? & lt; Class = "amultiple" id = "& lt; php echo $ value ['id'] ;? gt;" name = "& gt; php echo $ value ['id'] ;; gt; []" Multiple = "multiple" size = "8" & gt; & Lt ;?

jquery - SimpleModal Confirm fails to submit form -

-
I am trying to confirm jQuery to show yes / no confirmation when I submit a form. I had modified (in the last list) to capture and block form submissions. However, it only works with jQuery 1.2.6, a recent upgrade stops 1.3.2, if yes is clicked, then by submitting the form. But I can not understand what is wrong / inconsistent in my code now. Demo (which works in both versions of a simple window.href implementation). $ (document) .ready (function () {$ ('input.delete'). Click (function (e) {e.preventDefault (); var target = $ (e .target); Confirm ("Really delete this event?", Function () {target.click ()});});}); How about something like this? The idea of ​​catching clicks (and fire!) On the submitted event is not click event. $ (document) .ready (function () {$ ('# myForm'). Submit (function () {var f = this; Confirm (" Remove? ", Function () {$ (f). Submit ();}) Return; Return the initial session;}}}}; Hope That this is som...
