Strange values being output to screen from ruby script - 


define_method :hash_count    hash = ''   hash << 'x' while hash.length < 25   hash # returns hash method end  puts hash

i expecting 

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

to outputted screen. instead bizarre random numbers such 

3280471151433993928

and

-1945829393073068570

could please explain? scoping in ruby seems way weirder in php/javascript!

i see expect this. scope problem.

the variable hash exists both inside , outside of block function call. whenever declare variable or function same name shadowing in scope - is, make older invalid , using defined behaviour name.

in case, declared in scope of block, , shadowed object#hash function string variable inside do/end block. however, variable not shadowed outside of block, , kept original function call.

so, example 

hash = '' define_method :hash_count    hash << 'x' while hash.length < 25   hash # returns hash method end  puts hash

should work expected because shadowing hash in same scope using puts. similar reasons, if do

def hash_count   = ''   << 'x' while hash.length < 25   # returns hash method end  puts

it should raise undefined variable error, because not defined in scope.

linux - Does gcc have any options to add version info in ELF binary file? -

i mean whether gcc can insert source code version infor elf binary section or similar. not want change source file, add info gcc option in makefile. you can emit version info text file, turn text file object file statically link executable. the first step simple have write code: script or write version info in format plain text file. write makefile rule produce version.o version.txt, using objcopy . you'll have object file 2 useful symbols defined in it: beginning , end of textual version info. add generated object executable, , you'll able access version 2 ways: running strings on binary, or writing code in application print version string (you'll need declare start , end symbols variables in header file).

java - Are there any classes that implement javax.persistence.Parameter<T>? -

i'm using named queries fetch entities database using jpa , hibernate , came across puzzling me: how come there no default implementations of javax.persistence.parameter interface? i rather impressed how @staticmetamodel used criteriabuilder in jpa2 meaning type safety , don't have mess around setting string names. wanted apply similar of jpa1 ejb's i'm working on: dealergroup_.class: public dealergroup_ { public parameter<integer> id = new parameterimpl<integer>("id"); /// etc... } dealergroupfacade.class: // ... public dealergroup fetch(integer id) { typedquery<dealergroup> query = em.createnamedquery("dealergroup.fetchbyid", dealergroup.class); query.setparameter(dealergroup_.id, query); return query.getsingleresult(); } // ... i surprised find there no implementations of parameter interface - of course, implement myself absence makes me suspicious may mistake using in way? should implementing parameter...
