java - DataInputStream available() behaviour for reading files bigger than Integer.MAX_VALUE bytes -

-

i have binary file in custom format have written using dataoutputstream. simplified format of data in file is: intcharintcharintchar...intchar

i using datainputstream read file, , available() determine whether or not next read successful.

everything works fine small files. however, big files, filesize bigger integer.max_value bytes, available() call returns strange negative values after first read. file trying read 4751054632 bytes (about 4.8 gig).

simplified test code:

datainputstream reader=new datainputstream(new bufferedinputstream(new fileinputstream("/path/file")));  system.out.println("available @ start:\t" + reader.available());  while(reader.available()>0){     int a=reader.readint();     system.out.println("available after readint:\t" + reader.available());      char b=reader.readchar();     system.out.println("available after readchar:\t" + reader.available());      //do }

output:

available @ start: 2147483647 //this equal integer.max_value available after readint:    -2147475461 available after readchar:   -2147475463

instead of using available() execute readint() , readchar() commands in try block , catch exception when file finished, trying understand why behaviour happening. looking method return true if there data available read , false if file finished/ stream has ended. thought available()>0 guess not?

i using datainputstream read file, , available() determine whether or not next read successful.

then you're doing wrong. see javadoc: "returns estimate of number of bytes can read (or skipped over) input stream without blocking next invocation of method input stream.". many implementations returns zero, , ones don't return 0 don't guarantee return positive number: can't, when number concerned exceeds integer.max_value.

also, size of file change between available() , read().

you should detect end of stream catching eofexception on methods throw it, or -1 or null returned methods don't (i.e. read(), overloads, , readline() respectively).

c++ - Function signature as a function template parameter -

-
i'd use function signature template argument. works great classes, when try same trick function templates, msvc throws error: error c2768: 'func' : illegal use of explicit template arguments here's code: template <typename signature> void func(); template <typename r, typename a1> void func<r(a1)>(); what should make work? you cannot partially specialize function template, not supported language. can create partially specialized class template static member function, , possibly trampoline function instantiate class template , invoke static function. something this: namespace detail { template<typename signature> struct helper; template<typename r, typename a1> struct helper<r(a1)> { static void call() { // stuff r , a1... } }; } template<typename signature> void func() { detail::helper<signature>::call(); }

algorithm - What are some ways to combine a number of (potentially incompatible) sorted sub-sets of a total set into a (partial) ordering of the total set? -

-
i have sorting problem i'm pretty sure doesn't have canonical "answer" - has number of different approaches, each pros/cons. i'm interested in hearing different approaches. suppose bunch of people {p_i | i=1,...,m} ranking favorite ice cream flavors. in total there n different flavors, single person p_i ranks n_i << n flavors or familiar with. i'm interested in combining these sub-rankings plausible overall ranking of n flavors. for concrete situation: m , n both 1000 (by coincidence), , each n_i 20 . can assume there's enough overlap in flavors people rank such no flavor "isolated". again, i'm interested in hearing different ways approach this, if there isn't single clear answer. thanks! one way approach problem construct directed cyclic graph representing of constraints on ordering of elements. nodes in graph represent different elements compared , have edge first node second node if had ranked first e...

How to call a javascript function after the page loads with a chrome extension? -

-
there's function on page want call after loads. not own page, can't insert html it. can please provide specific examples how chrome extension or greasemonkey? (function submitaction() ). both chrome extensions , greasemonkey offer ways specify when script inject if executed. in chrome extension, you set in manifest : "content_scripts": [ { "run_at" : "document_idle", in greasemonkey compatible userscripts, set in metadata // @run-at document-end in both cases, have add script if want ensure resources loaded when function executed : document.addeventlistener('load', submitaction);
