arrays - C pointer dereference error -


suppose have following code (example):

#include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <stdbool.h>  void ex(void *ret, int ret_len, int choice){     if(choice==1){         int *ret = ret;                       for(int i=0; i<ret_len; i++){             *(ret+i) = i;         }      } else {         int **ret = ret;                     for(int i=0; i<ret_len; i++){             for(int j=0; j<ret_len; j++){                 *(*(ret+i)+j) = i*j;             }         }      } }  int main() {     int m[10];     ex(m,10,1);     printf("%i",m[3]);     return 0; }

the goal of function take pointer preallocated memory of 1 or 2 dimensional array.

when compiled , executed code works when choice==1, otherwise, if run

#include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <stdbool.h>  void ex(void *ret, int ret_len, int choice){     if(choice==1){         int *ret = ret;                       for(int i=0; i<ret_len; i++){             *(ret+i) = i;         }      } else {         int **ret = ret;                     for(int i=0; i<ret_len; i++){             for(int j=0; j<ret_len; j++){                 *(*(ret+i)+j) = i*j;             }         }      } }  int main() {     int m[100];     ex(m,10,2);     printf("%i", m[3][5]);     return 0; }

no output ever produced , code seems run forever (note choice not 1 , m proper size)

i under impression casting in ex should change shape of array , allow main index if 2d neither indexing if 1d nor 2d work.

having looked @ comments on question , answers have gathered requirements.

you need generic function takes array of choice dimensions , initializes values.

this can suit purpose. 

void ex(void *_ret, int ret_len, int choice){     if(choice==1){         int *ret = _ret;                       int i;         for(i=0; i<ret_len; i++){             ret[i] = i;         }      } else {         int (*ret)[ret_len] = _ret;                     int i, j;         for(i=0; i<ret_len; i++){             for(j=0; j<ret_len; j++){                 ret[i][j] = i*j;             }         }      } }

now how can call it

int main(void) {     int first[10];     ex(first, 10, 1);     int second[20][20];     ex(second, 20, 2);     printf("first[4] = %d\n", first[4]);     printf("second[3][4] = %d\n", second[3][4]); }

Is there a better way to structure post methods in Class Based Views -

i'm using class based views in django , never specify url in ajax calls , omit action parameter in form because know these requests go through post method of class based view. notice view - profile page make many requests depending on user updating on page - post method become convoluted , if/else mess example: def post(self, request, *args, **kwargs): # handle user changing available date if request.post.get('availabledate') != none: self.updateavailabledate(request) return jsonresponse({'result':'success'}) if request.post.get('newprojectname') != none: creative_user = creativeuserprofile.objects.get(id = request.user.id) project = project.create_project(creative_user, request.post['newprojectname']) project.save() return jsonresponse({'projectid': project.id }) if request.post.get('projectimage') != none , request.files['file']: proj

performance - Why is XCHG reg, reg a 3 micro-op instruction on modern Intel architectures? -

i'm doing micro-optimization on performance critical part of code , came across sequence of instructions (in at&t syntax): add %rax, %rbx mov %rdx, %rax mov %rbx, %rdx i thought had use case xchg allow me shave instruction , write: add %rbx, %rax xchg %rax, %rdx however, dimay found agner fog's instruction tables , xchg 3 micro-op instruction 2 cycle latency on sandy bridge, ivy bridge, broadwell, haswell , skylake. 3 whole micro-ops , 2 cycles of latency! 3 micro-ops throws off 4-1-1-1 cadence , 2 cycle latency makes worse original in best case since last 2 instructions in original might execute in parallel. now... cpu might breaking instruction micro-ops equivalent to: mov %rax, %tmp mov %rdx, %rax mov %tmp, %rdx where tmp anonymous internal register , suppose last 2 micro-ops run in parallel latency 2 cycles. given register renaming occurs on these micro-architectures, though, doesn't make sense me done way. why wouldn't register renamer

jquery - Responsive Navbar with Sub Navbar -

good day, forgive me nav vocabulary not best. if question confusing apologize. i'm working on navigation bar needs centered on page @ 768px , above. items in nav open (or perhaps toggle) subnav lives directly below. these nav should appear centered on page. i have been able work through responsive portion of nav bar, having main items align vertically , sub nav menu of each item roll out below, , gave them indent separation. working well. however, issue not responsive side, behavior @ width greater 768px. happens toggling menu's sub navigation pushes other main items down page below sub nav. here's code: $(document).ready(function () { //stick in fixed 100% height behind navbar don't wrap $('#slide-nav.navbar-inverse').after($('<div class="inverse" id="navbar-height-col"></div>')); $('#slide-nav.navbar-default').after($('<div id="navbar-height-col"></d
