Use WebService Assembly like "sample" assembly - web-services

I have a small question:
Can we use a compiled web service reference assembly like we use "sample" assembly?
I mean something like following:
1. Add reference to assembly in the references
2. add namespace to using (using mywebservice)
3. use it in code like:
`var result = mywebservice.Service1.GetSomething()?`
Why I'm asking?
It's because of I tried but I get a "strange" error: Cannot load assembly ""MyService.dll version, and so on.
Thanks in advance!

Can't use lldbbridge.py to inspect Qt objects because error in "wrapper prefix"

A little configuration information to start:
Xcode 13
Qt 5.15.5
iOS 14.7.1 (18G82) (I'm running on a device, not a
simulator)
Host MacOS Big Sur 11.6
I'm debugging a large Qt app, all written in C++, except for the necessary few files to make it work in iOS (so it's really an Objective-C++ app with an enormous amount of native C++ linked to it, everything of Qt it needs). I have a break point within the LoadApplication method - Qt has been built from source for development (that is, in debug configuration with symbols). There are a number of native Qt QUrl objects whose values I'd like to inspect. I have successfully installed lldbbridge.py, but I think the problem may be unrelated to that, because I saw it when I was using other tricks to see the data without the bridge. There is a method called toString on the QUrl class that produces a text representation of the URL (and another called toDisplayString that may be more human readable). These methods produce (of course) QString objects. So here are the failure modes:
First the bridge should be helping me to inspect the QUrl and all I see are the raw object descriptions that hide all the private interfaces. It isn't.
before I installed the lldbbridge.py script, I was able to view some of these objects (local variables, but not parameters), using code like expr url.toString().toStdString().c_str(). It still might work on local variables, but I would really like to be able to inspect parameters as well.
the error feedback I get is
error: <lldb wrapper prefix>:21198:9: module 'std' not found
#import std;
~~~~~~~^~~
this is a pretty legit error, because I have scoured my system and the internet for evidence of this std.framework whose existence is implied, and cannot find it, though its name suggests that it would be an assist to Objective-C or Swift to deal with std::string and the like. Possibly it was a thing in Xcode 12 that has been dropped in Xcode 13, but if so, it has no footprint on the web that I can find. Still, presumably Qt 5.15.5's lldbbridge.py was compiled and run and against it at some point in the recent past.
this isn't the only trick that doesn't work when inspecting a QString, with or without the bridge. I also tried expr (const wchar_t*)url.toString().toUtf16() and expr (const char*)url.toString().toUtf8() and so forth. The same error feedback results, complaining about the mysterious "std" framework or module.
and don't get too hung up on QUrl objects, because I get the same result with other QStrings.
one more symptom: if I do an expr #import std; in the lldb command line, it appears to work. That is, it gives no error feedback and appears to complete. This just makes the world weirder, because if exists, it must be hiding somewhere inside Xcode's contents, but I've done file searches in there, and see no evidence of such a thing. And if it does exist, why is the lldb wrapper prefix giving me grief? Could the wrapper be underspecified in terms of framework search paths, but the lldb command line not?
So as if it's not too obvious, here are my questions (besides WTF???):
Am I the first to see this? I've seen some forum talk about string inspection no longer working for others in Xcode 13 lldb, but the specific failure mode is different. Anyone else see this?
Does anyone have any idea about this mysterious "std" framework or module? Could its functionality have been sucked up into some other module or framework for Xcode 13?
Any ideas about work-arounds that I haven't thought of? I'm not a complete lldb novice, but I'm not an expert either.
I'd like to turn up the log levels look at those for clues, but I've never used that feature before, and I don't really even know where to FIND the logs.
I notice that the feedback suggests that there are at least 21198 lines in this "wrapper" BEFORE we get to the failing import statement. Seems a little excessive to wrap a request to view the contents of a string. Perhaps the whole wrapper is corrupted in some way. Any thoughts on how to test that hypothesis? How about a way to inspect the contents of the wrapper prefix itself?
Could the #import std; be a red herring and just co-lateral damage in some other unrelated failure mode? It's tempting to imagine it's some kind of std library support thing, but I don't want to assume too much at this point.
one more things about "std", whatever it is - lldb is super dynamic. It's always compiling inline code on-the-fly to support its functionality. That's the whole llvm magic. Is it possible it exists only as some inline text within lldb's source? And again, if so, why is it only selectively available?
Well, that's my nightmare. Unless my setup is horribly corrupted in some way and it's my unique curse, I'm sure this problem will show up for others, so cogent answers will make you a hero. Any pointers are appreciated. Thanks.

Get runtime ColdFusion syntax trees?

Is it possible to get access to / modify ColdFusion syntax trees at run time?
I'd wager not, and a 10 minute google search didn't find anything. Fiddling with closures and writing metadata dumps, we can see stringified versions of objects like [runtime expression], for example in the following:
function x(a=b+1) {}
WriteDump(getMetaData(x).parameters[1]["default"]);
Does it allow us to go no deeper than this, or perhaps someone knows how to keep digging and start walking trees?
Default UDF parameter expressions aren't available in function metadata as you've found. Other libraries that have implemented some form of CFML parser are
CFLint (written in Java and using ANTLR)
https://github.com/cflint/CFLint
CFFormat (also uses a binary compiled from Rust)
https://www.forgebox.io/view/commandbox-cfformat
Function LineNums (pure CFML)
https://www.forgebox.io/view/funclinenums
There is also a function callStackGet() docs: https://cfdocs.org/callstackget which might be useful to whatever you are trying to do.
And another CFML parser (written in CFML) here: https://github.com/foundeo/cfmlparser

Put marker and find code location in binary with hex editor (to test)

I have zero 'hacker' skills and once the code is compiled, the executable is more or less a black box to me.
I am trying to find where a particular line of code ends up in the binary.
This is to test my own code to see how often, where, etc. the code is put in the binary, to test the effects of changes I'm making in both debug and release builds.
I tried adding some code before or after the line I'm interested in. Like so:
char *test = "Tr#ck" ;
but I believe "Tr#ck" is put in the resources somewhere (Is that correct?) so I don't think if I search for this string with a hex editor I will find it where the code really resides ?
So I was wondering if a small piece of assembler code would work instead ?
Something that is totally inert in itself, will not change anything, but is easy to look for with a hex editor ?
(Or 'something' c/c++ that achieves the same.)
Would that work ?
Can you recommend something ?
Never added assembler before, so if that is the solution, kindly provide an example.

Use Node.js as an interpreter

I would like to embed NodeJS in my application. The reason i would like to use NodeJS and not just the V8 directly, is because of the extensions that exist for NodeJS.
To do that i understand that i need to compile NodeJS with GYP. Got it. But how do i work with it? is there a static lib to link to? how to start it up? say i want to provide it with a V8 context, how do i pass it?
a bit at a loss here. hope for help.
Note - i want to activate nodejs from my C++ code, not the other way around. i understand extensions, this is not what i want.
Regards,
Gal.
As I got from this question the problem of immediate linking with node.js is still unsolved. Actually the workaround may be running it in a separated process like an ordinary command line application. You may save your script to file, pass it as cmdline argument, then obtain std output from the node.js executable.

Changing NetBeans auto-generated code

NetBeans has some great features in it like auto-generating code. However there are some things missing which I would like to change. One of my practises is to add comments to the generated code telling me what it is. For example say that I am writing in php and auto generate a constructor for an object. The end result would be auto generated like this:
function __construct(){};
However what if I wanted NetBeans to generate comments alongside it like this:
//constructor
function __construct(){};
Is it possible to change something in NetBeans to make this happen? Templates maybe? And if so which template file and how should I change it to suit my needs?
You can go to Tools->Options->Editor->Code Templetes.
You choose language php.
There you can see the templates. You can change them or add yours.
