Low Level File Operations Handling on Linux and Windows c++ -


eventhough there similar questions here or here, have question different case.

by using c/c++, want write bytes file. file has data. simply, update content of file : open, write , close. however, if fails during write , if unable handle failure (for example, application crash, interrupt, electricity shutdown etc.), guaranteed in output file between list below? situation can happen, cannot?

  1. file may empty (deleted existing values , couldn't write new ones)
  2. file stays locked
  3. file may contain both old values , new values (i.e. first 5 lines new values, last 5 lines old values)
  4. file may contain old value.
  5. anything other don't expect?

if can give me os independent approaches, glad

thanks

write new data file same name, 'tmp' extension. flush , close tmp file. delete original file. rename tmp file original file name.

on startup, scan folder files. delete tmp files name part matches existing 'source' file, (ie. system interrupted during tmp file write). rename tmp file name part not match existing source file, (the tmp file written, original file deleted system interrupted before rename).

this system depends upon atomicity of deleting original file. if succeeds, new data, if fails, old data. should never bits of each.

java - IntelliJ - No such instance method -

using intellij's 12 ultimate, i'm running following code in debugger: java import play.api.libs.json.jsvalue; public class foo { ... public jsvalue tojson() { ... } public class fooexample { ... foo foo = new foo(); system.out.println("...); //<-- breakpoint at breakpoint, right-clicked source code , picked "evaluate expression," typing in: foo.tojson() . but following error showed up: no such instance method: play.api.libs.json.jsvalue$class.com.foo.foo.tojson () am doing wrong? foo#tojson calls scala code, if matters. edit had breakpoint after instantiation of foo. downvoted it, deserved it. edit my answer no longer valid after op modified question (i.e. moved breakpoint actual is).. a breakpoint hit before line executed. in case foo has not yet been declared or instantiated (i.e. foo constructor has not yet been called). you'll need put breakpoint @ next line (or step on current line) if want evaluate foo .

identifier - Is it possible for an html5 document to have two ids? -

i wondering if html5 element can have 2 ids, this: <button id="thing1" id="thing2" name="button1" onclick="change()">click here</button> or this: <button id="thing1, thing2" name="button1" onclick="change()">click here</button> also, if 1 of ids said 1 thing, , other id said thing, 1 used? tl;dr : no. in versions of html, each element can have 1 id. see the spec : the id attribute specifies element's unique identifier (id). [dom] the value must unique amongst ids in element's home subtree , must contain @ least 1 character. the value must not contain space characters. note: there no other restrictions on form id can take; in particular, ids can consist of digits, start digit, start underscore, consist of punctuation , etc. note: element's unique identifier can used variety of purposes, notably way link specific parts of document usin
