About Japanese animation

Nowadays I watched 2 animations ("anime" or "manga").

Time of Eve (イヴの時間)

 - http://timeofeve.com/e/

 - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eve_no_jikan

Voices of a Distant Star (ほしのこえ)

 - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voices_of_a_Distant_Star

Japanese animations have variety living thing, i.e. they treat many subject matters which I never think about before. In this reason I like "anime". And I want to learn Japanese.

Do you like Japanese animation?

From http://x86osx.com/bbs/view.php?id=usefulsite&no=147

1. Search engine with a touch of humor that plays prerecorded movie clips of a female actress to entertain you while searches are being performed:

2. Search for the most current political topics and election information at leftvsright.com. Stay informed on the presidential race, nominations, poll numbers, candidates and more:

3. Blinkx - World's largest video search engine. Search over 32 million hours of video from sites like Google Video, YouTube, MySpace, MetaCafe, and more:

 http://www.blinkx.com

4. Cannot access this site :

5. RedZee is the result of many years of brain-storming sessions that aimed to create a search engine that will revolutionize search. Conventional search engines use text as the main focus of their results, only bringing back 10 results ... :

6. Preview web search results, watch videos, listen to music, find images, review news and find great shopping deals :

If you want to add time log in the code ...

PBSearchingTimeMS = \

(unsigned long)((PBSearchingTimeTickEnd - PBSearchingTimeTickStart) / 32.768);

* change clock (frequency) to time: 32.768 (Crystal Clock)

Custom Token Macro in Source Insight

We suppose,

When you use the "Source Insight" as your source code editor,

Source code is as followed

 #define PACKED __packed

 typedef PACKED struct {

  int age;

  int tall;

 } MyStyleType;

Source Insight cannot parsing the variable "MyStyleType".

How can you fix it?

Source Insight support "*.tom" file.

In this case, we can change or add "c.tom"

c.tom file in the MyDocument\Source Insight\C.tom

We can add some key words,

_packed

packed

PACKED

That's all.

How to define "printf(...)" to "DEBUG(...)" in C/C++

When you make a program or programs, you need to check the program running condition.

In this reason, you want to use the debug message into the program.

In the debugging time you use the print put the logging messages and in the release time you don't want to use the logging messages.

When you use the macro "#define" how can you convert printf(char* format, ...) function to macro function?

As following,

// Multiple arguments

#define MSG_ERR(format, ...)    TRACE(ERROR, format, __VA_ARGS__)

#define MSG_WARN(format, ...)   TRACE(WARNING, format, __VA_ARGS__)

#define MSG_HIGH(format, ...)   TRACE(HIGH, format, __VA_ARGS__)

#define MSG_MID(format, ...)    TRACE(MIDDLE, format, __VA_ARGS__)

#define MSG_LOW(format, ...)    TRACE(LOW, format, __VA_ARGS__)

// Single argument

#define MSG_ERR(format)        TRACE(ERROR, format)

#define MSG_WARN(format)       TRACE(WARNING, format)

#define MSG_HIGH(format)       TRACE(HIGH, format)

#define MSG_MID(format)        TRACE(MIDDLE, format)

#define MSG_LOW(format)        TRACE(LOW, format)

Support for variadic macros was introduced in Visual C++ 2005.

About Bit Field in C/C++

In the C/C++, 

usually we use the "Bit Field" to optimize code or communicate with other process.

What is the Bit Filed?

I have attached "Example Code".

Example code

// Test Code, Bit Field

// ----------------------------------

{

 #define u8 unsigned char

 #define FILL_STRUCT1 u8:0; u8:8; u8:0;

 #define FILL_STRUCT2 u8:0; u8:8; u8:8; u8:0;

 #define FILL_STRUCT3 u8:0; u8:8; u8:8; u8:8; u8:0;

 typedef struct tag_SIMCommand {

 u8 Class;

 u8 Instruction;

 u8 P1;

 u8 P2;

 u8 P3;

 FILL_STRUCT3 // Bit Field

 u8 CData[8];

 } SIMCommandType;

 SIMCommandType SIMCommand;

 memset(&SIMCommand, 0xFF, sizeof(SIMCommandType));

 memset(&SIMCommand, 0x00, sizeof(SIMCommandType));

 // SELECT

 SIMCommand.Class = 0xA0;

 SIMCommand.Instruction = 0xA4;

 SIMCommand.P1 = 0x00;

 SIMCommand.P2 = 0x00;

 SIMCommand.P3 = 0x02;

 memset(SIMCommand.CData, 0xFF, sizeof(u8)*8);

}
