Timing C Code execution

I am attempting to increase time the c code execution time as
I improve the performance of my algorithm. I tried using time.h and
when doing something simple like
time_t1;
time(t1);
The compiler responds with
called object ‘&time’ is not a function
What is the best method for timing the c execution time given
we are not using the Alchemy gcc?

Yea...I am looking for something on the C side of things. I
tried using clock() also but I don't feel like the values are
correct. The timings stay the same every time I run the program
even with changes to the C code and some other odd results. Any
thoughts? I could just be doing something wrong...does anyone know
if this should work???

Code Execution in Cover Flow View and .mov Files

There is a code inside QuickTime movies that gets executed in Cover Flow view in Leopard!!!!!!!!.
I was helping a friend installing Leopard on his machine, and after restarting, I was showing him the new options in the Finder, when a found a bunch of videos (searched on his computer with Spotlight) and switched to 'Cover Flow View', and then Safari started opening web pages from the internet (Mostly adult sites).
After doing some tests I've noticed that the pages load the moment the Finder 'refines' the view of the videos. You know when the Finder first generates a blocky image of the video (some times called proxy image) and then generates a higher or cleaner resolution of that same video.
Not only that, if I resize the window or the preview pane, the code executed again and Safari opened the pages again!!!!
The Finder also executed the code in icon view with the 'Show Icon Preview' option selected in 'View Options' (Command-J).
Opening the videos in QuickTime Player did not trigger the code. But I've noticed that the videos start playing the moment they open. The Inspector (Command-I) didn't show anything unusual. But the Properties window (Command-J in QuickTime Pro) show a "Sprite Track" of Format 'Sprite' but again the different tabs (Annotations, Resources, Visual Settings or Other Settings) didn't show anything unusual.
*CORRECTION: The code also gets executed at the middle of the video when played in QuickTime. So this problem is related to QuickTime.!!!!!!*
The only solution to stop the code execution is to delete the 'Sprite Track'!!!!.
I also opened the movies in TextEdit and found the following text almost at the end of all the weird symbols:
(I'm sorry but the code disappears when I publish this post).
That's one of the pages that Safari was opening.
I don't know where my friend downloaded those videos, but the potential security risk is imminent.
I had the same results even after updating to QuickTime 7.3
I can upload the videos somewhere (at least the 'clean' ones) so you can make you own tests.
Any thoughts or comments?????
Is this a known issue in QuickTime?????
P.S. Once again please excuse my English (my main language is Spanish).

If I'm understanding correctly the "Sprite" is a part of how QuickTime works. In older versions you USED to be able to attach JavaScript to a sprite and do all kinds of useful and fun things. However, some websites used JavaScript to alter themselves, so a well crafted QuickTime movie could be used to deploy code that would alter websites. As a result, a LOT of this functionality was curtailed in later versions and many cool QuickTime functions no longer work.
The few that DO still work are when they are basic hyperlinks that take you to another web page, (Like at the end of this movie, BUT you have to click the link to go
http://www.makentosh.com/tipsfromtheiceberg/Blog/Entries/2006/3/7Somebody_ToldMe....html
) and others no longer work within the browser (they only work when using the QuickTime player). Give this a try. Use Safari to "Open File..." and open the .mov file. After it's open, see if it generates any other windows from there. If it doesn't, then I'd THINK it's operating as intended BUT it wouldn't hurt to send your feedback here for Apple to look into and/or fix it if necessary.

Web Part Error: Sandboxed code execution request failed - office 365

If i am trying to edit the webpart, i am getting this error "Web Part Error: Sandboxed code execution request failed"
But the same code worked properly before two months, i didnt done any deployment activities from last 6 months..i dont know how it is possible ?
and the same issue happening during the javascript post back also
1) I cant able to restart the sandbox service because i am using office 365
2) it worked properly before march month, after the patch upgrade which is released by microsoft, i am facing this kind of issue..
can any one help to resolve this issue ?

Hi,
Please post your question on online community for sharepoint

UIKit, Metric Logs, Kern_Invalid, Shell Code execution

I use i Phone version 7.1.2 and I am new to apple. I am curious to know if anyone in the community has noticed "bug_type";"193"os_version":"iPhone OS 7.1.2, It seems as though the system crash report states, Exception Type:EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGSEGV), Exception Subtyp: Kern_Invalid_Address at 0x0000000015d592c8 triggered by Thread 0 or bug_type";176, found under General, About, diagnostic and usage data.

I have shown this to Apple employees and they stated I may need to contact a programmer.
I have contacted Apple directly brought this to their attention, they are, as always very supportive. But, I believe I need a programmer as this is above my expertise. Any help from the community would be appreciated. Even a link to where I can find out more would be helpful.

Yes, thank you. This is the closest solution to my problem.
However, I will now introduce host_profile host agent.

Halt code execution while awaiting a return value - like JOptionPane..

I've been struggling with a minor annoying problem...
I want to achive kindda the same thing as what happens when you call: String s = JOptionPane.showInputDialog(...);
The code execution locks until a value is returned, and this is exactly what I want to be able to do with my own custom dialog/frame/whatever.
Obviously, wait() and notify() on the calling thread won't work, so how can I achieve this optionpane gui-code-locking behaviour with my own custom gui components?
Thx in advance !

From JInternalFrame source:
     * Creates a new <code>EventDispatchThread</code> to dispatch events
     * from. This method returns when <code>stopModal</code> is invoked.
    synchronized void startModal() {
     /* Since all input will be blocked until this dialog is dismissed,
      * make sure its parent containers are visible first (this component
      * is tested below). This is necessary for JApplets, because
      * because an applet normally isn't made visible until after its
      * start() method returns -- if this method is called from start(),
      * the applet will appear to hang while an invisible modal frame
      * waits for input.
     if (isVisible() && !isShowing()) {
         Container parent = this.getParent();
         while (parent != null) {
          if (parent.isVisible() == false) {
              parent.setVisible(true);
          parent = parent.getParent();
        try {
            if (SwingUtilities.isEventDispatchThread()) {
                EventQueue theQueue = getToolkit().getSystemEventQueue();
                while (isVisible()) {
                    // This is essentially the body of EventDispatchThread
                    AWTEvent event = theQueue.getNextEvent();
                    Object src = event.getSource();
                    // can't call theQueue.dispatchEvent, so I pasted its body here
                    if (event instanceof ActiveEvent) {
                        ((ActiveEvent) event).dispatch();
                    } else if (src instanceof Component) {
                        ((Component) src).dispatchEvent(event);
                    } else if (src instanceof MenuComponent) {
                        ((MenuComponent) src).dispatchEvent(event);
                    } else {
                        System.err.println("unable to dispatch event: " + event);
            } else
                while (isVisible())
                    wait();
        } catch(InterruptedException e){}
     * Stops the event dispatching loop created by a previous call to
     * <code>startModal</code>.
    synchronized void stopModal() {
        notifyAll();
    }It basically works like this:
If this thread is not the EventDispatcher, then just use wait() and notify().
If it is the EventDispatcher...the process the events from here while we wait for the dialog to close. Seems kind of dirty, but it works.

Varchar2 "Width" during code execution

Release 10g2 --
Is it possible to in some way determine the defined "width" of a char variable (esp. varchar2) during code execution?
For example, given:
=================================
strng VARCHAR2(<width>)
BEGIN
strng := function(sizeof(strng))
=================================
Is there any reasonably straightforward manner to create that "sizeof" function which can return the max width of strng to the function? I'd like to make sure, without writing exception logic, that I don't overflow the boundary of the strng variable. This is fairly easy to do in c but I don't see anything readily analogous in Oracle. Assume that strng is not tied to a table column, in particular, although that, too (i.e., created using %TYPE in the definition) would probably be useful to be determinable as well.
Any suggestions as to how one might accomplish this without some absurd "fill until the exception occurs" loop would be appreciated.

Thanks, I searched for something like that but didn't find it.
There is a function called VSIZE in Oracle 9i, but it returns the memory length of the ACTUAL string, not the theoretical maximum. The only way I see for you is to select the string length from the data dictionary, look at ALL_TAB_COLUMNS. Or write a loop with an exception section, trying to add one character after another until the exception is raised. This is correct, VSIZE does not do what I'm after. The specific link above deals more with the special case of %TYPE. I'm more interested in the general case of a defined variable -- Where in the Data Dictionary would I look for information about a variable? (I don't necessarily need instructions, but a pointer to something to read that should cover what I'm after would be helpful-- even a book reference would be of use, since it's hard to tell what books cover what topics well -- I don't mind becoming more knowledgeable about the DD, that seems like widely useful info anyway).
Any suggestions, links, pointers, would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Allowing the movie to run during complex code execution

Hello,
I have this complex XML processing code that builds up thousands of objects on stage. This might take some time. Perhaps not that big time to bring up that message about slow code execution, however signifficant enough to cause interface uncomfortabilities.
I understand very well that I can restructure my code in order to save all contextual variables, all counters in an object that is passed down to onEnterFrame events that process it a little bit and then pass it further, until the job is done.
However, before I go into dissecting my code, I wanted to make sure if there really is not a way how tom tell flash player do it's frame rendering routine while a complex code is executed in background (without splitting it up).
Thanks!

No, unfortunately, Flash player is not able to run something on a seperate thread while code is currently executing (the player will just lock up if the code execution takes longer than a certain amount of time and you'll get the dreaded "A script is causing the player to run slowly" dialog). People have done work to do something similar to what you are trying to do, but ultimately, it comes down to running an ENTER_FRAME event or timer to break up the code execution.

Threat Feed (McAfee) say my ipad2 got threats, memory corruption vulnerability exist,
which could lead to remote code execution. How to solve this problem?

You can't solve this problem yourself. You would need to wait for apple to release a "fix" or for McAfee to revise their judgement.
If you're worried about the threats, don't do things that would expose yourself to the vulnerability that they describe.
Since I can't see what you're looking at, I can't give you any other advice.

PHP-Remote Code Execution

Hi Experts,
My IPS has been reporting "PHP-Remote Code Execution" attack on one of our webserver for a while now. Each time the attackers IP address keeps changing. I created an object-group and access-list to deny the object-group on my firewall and i keep adding the attacker's IPs to the group, however i keep recieving new "PHP-Remote Code Execution" attacks. My IPS is in promiscous mode and i have auto signature update enabled.
IPS has reported "packet denied by global correlation in some case. Like i said, IPS is in promiscous mode. Signature: 2271/0 and CVE-2012-1823
Apart from making sure the webservers have the right security patches, What else should i be doing?. Do not want to miss anything out?

Adobe Acrobat Reader Crafted PDF Document Remote Code Execution

Hi all,
I was wondering if Adobe can clarify when "CVE-2012-4363 Adobe Acrobat Reader Crafted PDF Document Remote Code Execution" will be fixed?
It's been a pretty long time since this issue was reported.
With kind regards,
Erik Verhoef
The Netherlands

i was also given the Knowledge Base number 405461 from adobe, and they said that this would definitely fix the problem...AND IT DIDN'T :-(
see kb405461
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/view...nalId=kb405461
and just to let everyone know, i have already completely uninstalled adobe reader and reinstalled it several times thinking that fresh install would cure the problem, and it hasn't made a bit of difference. the version of reader doesn't matter either, as i've tried versions 7, 8 and 9... all with the same exact issue...which makes me think that it might be an issue with MS IE6.

Performance and code execution time

I've just successfully compiled TidyHTML into SWC library and after running a few test I am a bit disappointed - execution time of flashcc-generated code on my PC is near 500 ms(and approximitly 3000 ms on Nexus 7), when C++ console application executes the same code in 36 ms. So C++ application is almost at 14 times faster - is this normal for Crossbridge? TidyHTML was compiled into static library using gcc with -O4 flag, and SWC was compiled with g++ using the same optimization level.

Thank you for answer, I'll check it out with Scout. I understand how it works so I do not counting on a same performance as native code may show. But a 14x difference in performance seems suspicious. I've noticed that on first run of function from SWC on Android tablet it takes 3 seconds, but during next calls - approximitly 1 second, that looks more close to expected result. On PC code executes among 750-800 ms on first run and 410 ms after that.

To skip the html code execution in jsp

Hello,
I wan to skip a part of html code from execution in jsp.I would like to know how can I do that
For example : Here is a part of my jsp code
<%String sample = "Hello <html>world!</html>"; %>
<!DOCTYPE HTML --- >
<HTML>
<BODY>
Sample Msg is : <%= sample%>
</BODY>
</HTML>
when I run this jsp the mesage that is been displayed in the
browser is "Sample Msg is : Hello world!"
But what I want to display in the browser is "Sample Msg is : Hello <html>world!</html>"
How can I do that

Try escaping the opening tag characters. Change this
<%String sample = "Hello <html>world!</html>"; %>to this
<%
String sample = "Hello & lt;html>world!& lt;/html>";
%>or maybe even this
<%
String sample = "Hello & lt;html& gt;world!& lt;/html& gt;";
%>
Don't put spaces between the "&" and the "lt" or "gt". I had to do that so that it would display properly in the forum.
(The tags mean less than and greater than)
