Expandc++11 for loop using lambda

This C++11 for loop is clean and elegant and a perfect way to check if your compiler is ready for c++11: vector<int> v; for_each( v.begin(), v.end(), [] (int val) { cout << val; } ); This is using a lambda function, we should switch from iterators and functors to those - but not quite yet, since we're writing cross-platform code. Do not touch this until we can be sure that all platforms provide compatible C++11 handling. Initial results of for_each support: max os x snow leopard does not understand the lambda function

Expandc++ stl in-memory storage of "major" objects

where major = need to track a large number of them in a sorted vector; they are heavily referenced outside the vector Having a coding revelation!!! OBSERVATION ONE QObjects cannot normally be copied this is by design - their copy constructors and assignment operators are private why? A Qt Object... might have a unique QObject::objectName(). If we copy a Qt Object, what name should we give the copy? has a location in an object hierarchy. If we copy a Qt Object, where should the copy be located? can be connected to other Qt Objects to emit signals to them or to receive signals emitted by them. If we copy a Qt Object, how should we transfer these connections to the copy? can have new properties added to it at runtime that are not declared in the C++ class. If we copy a Qt Object, should the copy include the properties that were added to the original? in other words, a QObject is a pretty serious object that has the ability to be tied to other objects and resources in ways that make copying dangerous isn't this true of all serious objects? pretty much OBSERVATION TWO if you have a vector of objects, you often want to track them individually if you use a vector of pointers, you can keep the pointer and not worry about vector reallocations - perfect OBSERVATION THREE STL provides everything you need to keep vectors of your pointers, iterate thru them, etc. for a vector of any substantial size, you want to keep objects sorted so you can find them quickly that's what my sorted_vector class is for following STL practices, to get sorting, you have to provide operator< for whatever is in your vector BUT... you are not allowed to do operator<(const MyObjectPtr* right) because it would require a reference to a pointer which is not allowed BUT... you can provide a FUNCTOR to do the job, then provide it when sorting/searching a functor is basically a structure with a bool operator()(const MyObjectPtr* left, const MyObjectPtr* right) once c++11 is ready, consider using lambda functions instead

Expandc++ stl reverse iterator skeleton
From SGI... reverse_iterator rfirst(V.end()); reverse_iterator rlast(V.begin()); while (rfirst != rlast) { cout << *rfirst << endl; ... rfirst++; }

Expandc/c++ gdb debugging
(gdb) help break Set breakpoint at specified line or function. Argument may be line number, function name, or "*" and an address. If line number is specified, break at start of code for that line. If function is specified, break at start of code for that function. If an address is specified, break at that exact address. With no arg, uses current execution address of selected stack frame. This is useful for breaking on return to a stack frame. Multiple breakpoints at one place are permitted, and useful if conditional. Do "help breakpoints" for info on other commands dealing with breakpoints.
ddd gives you a front end. I need to use it more, compare to other options

Expandphp debugging
Tail these: tail -f /var/log/apache2/sitelogs/thedigitalage.org/ssl_error_log tail -f /var/log/ampache-tda/ampache.(today).log
This leads to too much noise, not needed... emacs /etc/php/apache2-php5.3/php.ini display_errors = On /etc/init.d/apache restart
