Difference between provides & output in pathom 3 - clojure

What is the difference between provides & output here?
#com.wsscode.pathom3.connect.operation.Resolver
{:config
#:com.wsscode.pathom3.connect.operation
{:input [:ip]
:provides {:longitude {}
:latitude {}}
:output [:longitude
:latitude]
:op-name com.wsscode.pathom3.demos.ip-weather/ip->lat-long},
:resolve
#object[com.wsscode.pathom3.demos.ip_weather$ip__GT_lat_long__17350
0x4b7b5266
"com.wsscode.pathom3.demos.ip_weather$ip__GT_lat_long__17350#4b7b5266"]}
From : https://pathom3.wsscode.com/docs/tutorial/#resolvers

both the output and provides have the same data, but in different formats. The output uses the EQL format, which is more user-friendly and extensible. But for quick presence check, the vector format would require a scan to find an element, so the provides uses a map, which has constant access for verification, speeding up things for the processing code.

List buffers associated with files?

I'm very new to using lisp, so I'm sorry if this is a trivial question. I haven't been able to find solutions after a while googling, though I'm sure that this is fault on my part.
So. I'm trying to write a command which will revert all open buffers. Simple. I just do
(setq revert-without-query (buffer-list))
(mapc 'revert-buffer (buffer-list))`
Unfortunately, this ends up failing if there are any buffers which aren't associated with files- which is to say, always.
Doing C-x C-b to list-buffers prints something like
CRM Buffer Size Mode File
init.el 300 Emacs-lisp ~/.spacemacs.d/init.el
%scratch% 30 Test
Ok. Easy enough. If I was allowed to mix lisp and python, I'd do something like
(setq revert-without-query [b for b in buffer-list if b.File != ""])
;; Or would I test for nil? Decisions, decisions...
Upon some digging, I found that there exists remove-if. Unfortunately, being completely new to lisp, I have no idea how to access the list, their attributes, or... well... anything. Mind helping me out?
One possibility would be checking buffer-file-name which will return nil if the buffer isn't visiting a file, eg.
(cl-loop for buf in (buffer-list)
if (buffer-file-name buf)
collect buf)
or
(cl-remove-if-not 'buffer-file-name (buffer-list))
You probably want to revert dired directories also. Any type of buffer can have its own specialized revert (see revert-buffer-function). So you probably want to check for both buffer-file-name and dired-directory being non-nil.
(dolist (b (buffer-list))
(when (buffer-live-p b)
(with-current-buffer b
(when (or buffer-file-name dired-directory)
(revert-buffer 'ignore-auto 'noconfirm)))))
You can also use the ignore-errors hammer, but you're probably better off fixing corner cases as you encounter them.

Efficient and stable YAML parser for cocos2d-x

I am developing a game using cocos2d-x and C++, and I need to load a bunch of YAML files for this application. I tried using the yaml-cpp library with quite good results.
The problem is that this library seems to be very unstable (at least under cocos2d-x on iOS), since almost 20% of the time it fails loading the same YAML file throwing "end of map not found", "invalid map element", or errors like these ones.
I followed the HowToParseADocument guide, so I think I got it correct. But, since it's not 100% reliable, I am looking for something more stable. Eg:
long size = 0;
unsigned char *yaml = FileUtils::getInstance()->getFileData("file.yml", "r", &size);
std::stringstream is;
is << yaml;
YAML::Parser parser(is);
YAML::Node doc;
while(parser.GetNextDocument(doc)) {
instance->settings = doc.Clone();
}
The parser usally breaks at the parser.GetNextDocument(doc) call. The document I am trying to read is plain YAML with key: value lists in this simple form:
# Comment
section1:
param1: value1
param2: value2
# Comment
section2:
param1: value1
param2: value2
Edit
I am not allowed to disclose the content of the original YAML file, but I can give you some information:
It only contains maps, and not arrays, aliases or other particular constructs
Those values are integers, float or strings
It has been linted with this free tool, with success.
The code I used to read it, posted up there, it's always in that form, and I do not modify it to make the app run correctly. It's just that the app starts and works or starts and does not work. Since I am changing nothing in the middle, I really do not understand what's happening.
It's a bit hard to guess at the solution because you won't provide an actual example, but:
Who owns the data at the unsigned char* returned by getFileData? If that function itself owns the data, then it is no longer valid after the function returns, and so all sorts of crazy stuff might happen.
To validate what's happening here (beyond looking at the implementation of getFileData), you could print out is.string() before calling YAML::Parser parser(is); and see if that prints the expected YAML.

libPd and c++ wrapper implementation

I'm trying to use libPd, the wrapper for PureData.
But the documentation is poor and I'm not very into C++
Do you know how I can simply send a floating value to a Pd patch?
Do I need to install libPd or I can just include the files?
First of all, check out ofxpd. It has an excellent libpd implementaiton with OpenFrameworks. If you are starting with C++ you may want to start with OpenFrameworks since it has some great documentation and nice integration with Pd via the ofxpd extension.
There are two good references for getting started with libpd (though neither cover C++ in too much detail): the original article and Peter Brinkmann's book.
On the libpd wiki there is a page for getting started with libpd. The linked project at the bottom has some code snippets in main.cpp that demonstrate how to send floats to your Pd patch.
pd.sendBang("fromCPP");
pd.sendFloat("fromCPP", 100);
pd.sendSymbol("fromCPP", "test string");
In your Pd patch you'll set up a [receive fromCPP] and then these messages will register in your patch.
In order to get the print output you have to use the receivers from libpd in order to receiver the strings and then do something with them. libpd comes with PdBase, which is a great class for getting libpd up and running. PdBase has sendBang, sendFloat, sendMessage, and also has the receivers set up so that you can get output from your Pd patch.
if you want to send a value to a running instance of Pd (the standalone application), you could do so via Pd's networking facilities.
e.g.
[netreceive 65432 1]
|
[route value]
|
[print]
will receive data sent from the cmdline via:
echo "value 1.234567;" | pdsend 65432 localhost udp
you can also send multiple values at once, e.g.
echo "value 1.234567 3.141592;" | pdsend 65432 localhost udp
if you find pdsend to slow for your purposes (e.g. if you launch the executable for each message you want to send you have a considerable overhead!), you could construct the message directly in your application and use an ordinary UDP-socket to send FUDI-messages to Pd.
FUDI-messages really are simple text strings, with atoms separated by whitespace and a terminating semicolon, e.g.
accelerator 1.23 3.14 2.97; button 1;
you might also considering using OSC, but for this you will need some externals (OSC by mrpeach; net by mrpeach (or iemnet)) on the Pd side.
as for performance, i've been using the latter with complex tracking data (hundreds of values per frame at 125fps) and for streaming multichannel audio, so i don't think this is a problem.
if you are already using libPd and only want to communicate from the host-application, use Adam's solution (but your question is a bit vague about that, so i'm including this answer just in case)

Need an example of Ypsilon usage

I started to mess with Ypsilon, which is a C++ implementation of Scheme.
It conforms R6RS, features fast garbage collector, supports multi-core CPUs and Unicode but has a LACK of documentation, C++ code examples and comments in the code!
Authors provide it as a standalone console application.
My goal is to use it as a scripting engine in an image processing application.
The source code is well structured, but the structure is unfamiliar.
I spent two weeks penetrating it, and here's what I've found out:
All communication with outer world is done via C++ structures called
ports, they correspond to Scheme ports.
Virtual machine has 3 ports: IN, OUT and ERROR.
Ports can be std-ports (via console), socket-ports,
bytevector-ports, named-file-ports and custom-ports.
Each custom port must provide a filled structure called handlers.
Handlers is a vector containing 6 elements: 1st one is a boolean
(whether
port is textual), and other five are function pointers (onRead, onWrite, onSetPos, onGetPos, onClose).
As far as I understand, I need to implement 3 custom ports (IN, OUT and ERROR).
But for now I can't figure out, what are the input parameters of each function (onRead, onWrite, onSetPos, onGetPos, onClose) in handlers.
Unfortunately, there is neither example of implementing a custom port no example of following stuff:
C++ to Scheme function bindings (provided examples are a bunch of
.scm-files, still unclear what to do on the C++ side).
Compiling and
running bytecode (via bytevector-ports? But how to compile text to
bytecode?).
Summarizing, if anyone provides a C++ example of any scenario mentioned above, it would significantly save my time.
Thanks in advance!
Okay, from what I can read of the source code, here's how the various handlers get called (this is all unofficial, based purely on source code inspection):
Read handler: (lambda (bv off len)): takes a bytevector (which your handler will put the read data into), an offset (fixnum), and a length (fixnum). You should read in up to len bytes, placing those bytes into bv starting at off. Return the number of bytes actually read in (as a fixnum).
Write handler: (lambda (bv off len)): takes a bytevector (which contains the data to write), an offset (fixnum), and a length (fixnum). Grab up to len bytes from bv, starting at off, and write them out. Return the number of bytes actually written (as a fixnum).
Get position handler: (lambda (pos)) (called in text mode only): Allows you to store some data for pos so that a future call to the set position handler with the same pos value will reset the position back to the current position. Return value ignored.
Set position handler: (lambda (pos)): Move the current position to the value of pos. Return value ignored.
Close handler: (lambda ()): Close the port. Return value ignored.
To answer another question you had, about compiling and running "bytecode":
To compile an expression, use compile. This returns a code object.
There is no publicly-exported approach to run this code object. Internally, the code uses run-vmi, but you can't access this from outside code.
Internally, the only place where compiled code is loaded and used is in its auto-compile-cache system.
Have a look at heap/boot/eval.scm for details. (Again, this is not an official response, but based purely on personal experimentation and source code inspection.)

how to JUDGE other program's result via cpp?

I've got a series of cpp source file and I want to write another program to JUDGE if they can run correctly (give input and compare their output with standart output) . so how to:
call/spawn another program, and give a file to be its standard input
limit the time and memory of the child process (maybe setrlimit thing? is there any examples?)
donot let the process to read/write any file
use a file to be its standard output
compare the output with the standard output.
I think the 2nd and 3rd are the core part of this prob. Is there any way to do this?
ps. system is Linux
To do this right, you probably want to spawn the child program with fork, not system.
This allows you to do a few things. First of all, you can set up some pipes to the parent process so the parent can supply the input to the child, and capture the output from the child to compare to the expected result.
Second, it will let you call seteuid (or one of its close relatives like setreuid) to set the child process to run under a (very) limited user account, to prevent it from writing to files. When fork returns in the parent, you'll want to call setrlimit to limit the child's CPU usage.
Just to be clear: rather than directing the child's output to a file, then comparing that to the expected output, I'd capture the child's output directly via a pipe to the parent. From there the parent can write the data to a file if desired, but can also compare the output directly to what's expected, without going through a file.
std::string command = "/bin/local/app < my_input.txt > my_output_file.txt 2> my_error_file.txt";
int rv = std::system( command.c_str() );
1) The system function from the STL allows you to execute a program (basically as if invoked from a shell). Note that this approach is inherenly insecure, so only use it in a trusted environment.
2) You will need to use threads to be able to achieve this. There are a number of thread libraries available for C++, but I cannot give you recommendation.
[After edit in OP's post]
3) This one is harder. You either have to write a wrapper that monitors read/write access to files or do some Linux/Unix privilege magic to prevent it from accessing files.
4) You can redirect the output of a program (that it thinks goes to the standard output) by adding > outFile.txt after the way you would normally invoke the program (see 1)) -- e.g. otherapp > out.txt
5) You could run diff on the saved file (from 3)) to the "golden standard"/expected output captured in another file. Or use some other method that better fits your need (for example you don't care about certain formatting as long as the "content" is there). -- This part is really dependent on your needs. diff does a basic comparing job well.
