I've just noticed that passing e.g.: **/main.c to POSIX function glob() doesn't yield correct results (they are empty). Is there a similar and also such a common (POSIX, etc.) function that would support the "**"-recursive syntax? Or maybe some single file, small library with such feature?

I know this question has been asked and answered before, but none of the many answers work for me as described.
What is the procedure for reloading a module that I'm working on in Julia (1.6)?
For example, I have
module MyModule
export letters
const letters = String('A':'Z')
end
and I want the be able to load the module, make changes to letters in the module's file, and then reload the module and have those changes reflected in subsequent uses of letters. This seems simple enough, but I can't get it to work.
I've tried
include("src/MyModule.jl")
using .MyModule
but if I change the definition of letters in MyModule.jl and then
include("src/MyModule.jl")
letters doesn't change, unless I fully qualify its use each time with Main.MyModule.letters: using Main.MyModule; letters refers, for example, to the old definition.
How do I reload a module under development so that I can refer to its definitions without fully qualifying them (and without having an unqualified shadow definition always lying around)?
I would just use Revise.jl and wrap everything in functions:
module MyModule
export letters
letters(char_start, char_end) = char_start:char_end |> String
end
julia> using Revise
julia> includet("src/MyModule.jl")
julia> using .MyModule
julia> letters('l', 'p')
"lmnop"
module MyModule
export letters
letters(char_start, char_end) = char_start:char_start |> String
end
julia> letters('l', 'p')
"l"
const is for defining things that you do not want to modify, so I would not expect your original version to work as expected. Revise.jl should also throw a redefinition error if you try to change it
In general though, it's usually much nicer (and easier too!) to just put everything in a package and use the usual using/import syntax. PkgTemplates.jl is great for this
If you would like to redefine consts though, I would definitely recommend checking out Pluto.jl
I'm trying to package some code I use for data analysis so that other workers can use it. Currently, I'm stuck trying to write a simple function that imports data from a specific file type generated by a datalogger and trims it for use by other functions. Here's the code:
import<-function(filename,type="campbell",nprobes){
if (filename==TRUE){
if (type=="campbell"){
message("File import type is from Campbell CR1000")
flux.data<<-read.table(filename,sep=",",header=T,skip=1)
flux.data<<-flux.data[,-c(1,2)];flux.data<<-flux.data[-c(1,2),]
if (nprobes=="missing"){
nprobes<-32
}
flux.data<<-flux.data[,c(1:nprobes)]
flux.data.names<<-colnames(flux.data) #Saves column names
}
}
}
Ideally, the result would be a dataframe/matrix flux.data and a concomittant vector/list of the preserved column headers flux.data.names. The code runs and the function executes without errors, but the outputs aren't preserved. I usually use <<- to get around the function enclosure but its not working in this case - any suggestions?
I think the real problem is that I don't quite understand how enclosures work, despite a lot of reading... should I be using environment to assign environments within the function?
User joran answered my question in the comments above:
The critical issue was just in how the function was written: the conditional at the start (if filename==TRUE) was intended to see if filename was specified, and instead was checking to see if it literally equaled TRUE. The result was the conditional never being met, and no function output. Here's what fixed it:
import<-function(filename,type="campbell",nprobes){
if (exists(filename){
if (type=="campbell"){
#etc....
Another cool thing he pointed out was that I didn't need the <<- operator to utilize the function output and instead could write return(flux.data). This is a much more flexible approach, and helped me understand function enclosures a lot better.
I am new to Julia, so this might be trivial.
I have a function definition within a module that looks like (using URIParser):
function add!(graph::Graph,
subject::URI,
predicate::URI,
object::URI)
...
end
Outside of the module, I call:
add!(g, URIParser.URI("http://test.org/1"), URIParser.URI("http://test.org/2"), URIParser.URI("http://test.org/1"))
Which gives me this error:
ERROR: no method add!(Graph,URI,URI,URI)
in include at boot.jl:238
in include_from_node1 at loading.jl:114
at /Users/jbaran/src/RDF/src/RDF.jl:79
Weird. Because when I can see a matching signature:
julia> methods(RDF.add!)
# 4 methods for generic function "add!":
add!(graph::Graph,subject::URI,predicate::URI,object::Number) at /Users/jbaran/src/RDF/src/RDF.jl:29
add!(graph::Graph,subject::URI,predicate::URI,object::String) at /Users/jbaran/src/RDF/src/RDF.jl:36
add!(graph::Graph,subject::URI,predicate::URI,object::URI) at /Users/jbaran/src/RDF/src/RDF.jl:43
add!(graph::Graph,statement::Statement) at /Users/jbaran/src/RDF/src/RDF.jl:68
At first I thought it was my use of object::Union(...), but even when I define three functions with Number, String, and URI, I get this error.
Is there something obvious that I am missing? I am using Julia 0.2.1 x86_64-apple-darwin12.5.0, by the way.
Thanks,
Kim
This looks like you may be getting bit by the very slight difference between method extension and function shadowing.
Here's the short of it. When you write function add!(::Graph, ...); …; end;, Julia looks at just your local scope and sees if add! is defined. If it is, then it will extend that function with this new method signature. But if it's not already defined locally, then Julia creates a new local variable add! for that function.
As JMW's comment suggests, I bet that you have two independent add! functions. Base.add! and RDF.add!. In your RDF module, you're shadowing the definition of Base.add!. This is similar to how you can name a local variable pi = 3 without affecting the real Base.pi in other scopes. But in this case, you want to merge your methods with the Base.add! function and let multiple dispatch take care of the resolution.
There are two ways to get the method extension behavior:
Within your module RDF scope, say import Base: add!. This explicitly brings Base.add! into your local scope as add!, allowing method extension.
Explicitly define your methods as function Base.add!(graph::Graph, …). I like this form as it more explicitly documents your intentions to extend the Base function at the definition site.
This could definitely be better documented. There's a short reference to this in the Modules section, and there's currently a pull request that should be merged soon that will help.
I would like to use functions from the xquery-operators namespace (http://www.w3.org/2002/08/xquery-operators) in Zorba, specifically, op:add-dayTimeDuration-to-dateTime.
However I get a static error: "op:add-dayTimeDuration-to-dateTime": function with arity 2 not declared". I had to declare the op namespace to get that far, so maybe Zorba uses a different prefix. Or, maybe these functions aren't implemented. I've had difficulty trying to search for answers to these questions.
Thanks!
From the spec: Functions defined with the op prefix are described here to underpin the definitions of the operators in [XML Path Language (XPath) 2.0], [XQuery 1.0: An XML Query Language] and [XSL Transformations (XSLT) Version 2.0]. These functions are not available directly to users, and there is no requirement that implementations should actually provide these functions. For this reason, no namespace is associated with the op prefix. For example, multiplication is generally associated with the * operator, but it is described as a function in this document.....
Can't you just use the + operator?
I used scanf() in my program,when I compile it I'm getting a lot of warnings regarding use of scanf as follows:
D:\myspace\projects\nnf\NNFAdaptor\NNFAdaptor\main.cpp
C4996: 'scanf': This function or variable may be unsafe. Consider using scanf_s instead. To disable deprecation, use _CRT_SECURE_NO_WARNINGS.
I also tried using _CRT_SECURE_NO_WARNINGS but it is not present in my Qt (headers),it is shown as error.
Put #define _CRT_SECURE_NO_WARNINGS at the top of your main.cpp (before any #includes).
That class of warnings is mostly wrong (particularly about what to use instead) but it really is true that you should not use scanf, because:
It is very easy to write a format specification that is dangerous in the same way that gets is dangerous, i.e. it will write past the end of a buffer without noticing. It is possible to write format specifications that don't have this problem but it is much harder.
It is almost impossible to write a scanf-based input parser that can handle ill-formed input reliably.
Overflow in any numeric conversion is technically undefined behavior, which means the C library is allowed to crash your program just because someone typed too many digits. (Good C libraries will not do anything worse than produce garbage in your result variable, but that can itself be a headache.)
You should not use scanf_s instead; it attempts to paper over problem 1 but doesn't entirely succeed, and it doesn't address problems 2 and 3 at all. Since you are using Qt, I recommend:
Read entire lines into std::strings using std::getline.
Parse them with QRegExp.
Convert numeric strings to numbers with e.g. QString::toDouble.
If your input syntax is more complicated than regexes can handle, investigate QLALR.
