the design of inner function _S_oom_malloc in SGI-STL allocator -


the code follows:

template <int __inst> void* __malloc_alloc_template<__inst>::_s_oom_malloc(size_t __n) {     void (* __my_malloc_handler)();     void* __result;      (;;) {         __my_malloc_handler = __malloc_alloc_oom_handler;         if (0 == __my_malloc_handler) { __throw_bad_alloc; }         (*__my_malloc_handler)();         __result = malloc(__n);         if (__result) return(__result);     } }

i have 2 questions. 1. why _s_oom_malloc use infinite loop? 2. known, _s_oom_malloc called when malloc fails in __malloc_alloc_template::allocate function. , why use malloc allocate space?

anyone can me? lot.

first, loop not infinite. there 2 exits: throwing bad_alloc exception allocating requested amount of memory. exception thrown when current new-handler null pointer.

to understand how can happen, consult e.g. item 49 effective c++. new-handler can either

  • make more memory available
  • install different new-handler
  • deinstall new-handler (i.e. passing null pointer set_new_handler
  • throw exception
  • abort or exit

second, reason uses c library's malloc allocate space malloc on systems well-tested , efficiently implemented function. standard library's new functions "simply" exception-safe , type-safe wrappers around (which user can override, should want that).

jquery - How can I dynamically add a browser tab? -

since using iframes house external pages are, accounts "not preferred method" , disallowed sites (flickr, one), want dynamically generate browser tabs. e.g., when user submits form, want dynamically generate tab on browser in response submitted. e.g., might want add new tab url like: http://www.bigsurgarrapata.com/contact how in jquery? you want form target attribute action attribute. http://www.w3schools.com/tags/att_form_target.asp browsers have ultimate control on result of target attribute open new tab value of _blank. <form action="contact_submit.php" target="_blank" method="post">

keyboard - C++ GetAsyncKeyState alternative -

i using windows.h library's getasynckeystate function define key pushed on keyboard . here program returns int value of pushed key example. #include <iostream> #include <windows.h> using namespace std; int main (){ char i; for(i=8;i<190;i++){ if(getasynckeystate(i)== -32767){ cout<<int (i)<<endl; } } return 0; } but trying make opengl simple game , function appeared slow . there function not need cycle 180 times , if statement . thanks you're trying make opengl game, you're going use glfw. if that's case can away using glfwgetkey() such: if (glfwgetkey(glfw_key_up) == glfw_press) {...} if (glfwgetkey(glfw_key_down) == glfw_press) {...} that method nicely explained in tutorial 6 opengl-tutorial.org . should start first tutorial of beginners tutorials , later intermediate tutorials . if you're going make win32 window can listen wm_keydown or wm_keyup messages , virtua
