c++ - Conflict of include files from an Arduino library -


i'm writing arduino libraries , have folder structure follows:

libraries      +foo     -foo.h     -helper.h      +bar     -bar.h     -helper.h      +helper     -helper.h

foo , bar libraries created. reasoning behind putting helper.h in folders that, end user have easier time getting libraries work. also, libraries can configured having source code edited.

however, if write #include <helper.h> in sketch, it'll impossible control "helper.h" i'm including.

is there way hide helper.h foo , bar sketches?

the obvious answer is: don't write #include <helper.h>. files aren't part of implementation, , should included using #include "helper.h". if this, first place compiler include file in directory containing file including it: if include foo/foo.h, compiler pick foo/helper.h; if include bar/bar.h, compiler pick bar/helper' , on.

client code should set include path root, , things #include "foo/foo.h"; if necessary, can #include "foo/helper.h".

the 1 thing have strategy ensure uniqueness of of header guards. if application, sufficient mangle path include guard, e.g. use foo_helper_h, instead of foo_h. alternatively (and use library third parties should use), generate random string include guard. (if open file named abc.h doesn't exist, editor automatically generates following boilerplate:

/********************************************************/ /*      file:       abc.h                               */ /*      author:     j. kanze                            */ /*      date:       02/05/2013                          */ /* ---------------------------------------------------- */  #ifndef abc_h_20130502o481mbxfzeazz4dgib7ic4q9 #define abc_h_20130502o481mbxfzeazz4dgib7ic4q9  #endif

it's safe bet include guard here never conflict other. (and have along these lines anyway, in order copyright message in file.)

Eclipse formatter for java ending braces -

i know if it's possible setup eclipse format braces using banner style. we're working code uses banner style formatting , keep consistent within team version control reasons. here's example of banner style formatting not familiar: public class foo { //------------------------ public static void main (string[] args) { boolean condition = true; try { if (condition) { system.out.println ("condition true"); } else system.out.println ("not condition"); } catch (exception ex) { // handle errors } } //------------------------ } update: name style ratliff. experiment java->code style->formatter preferences. "banner style" seems poor use of space given outline view , quick outline functionality.

ruby - Nesting modules inside of a Rails eninge gem -

what proper syntax nest child modules within parent module being isolate_namespace rails engine gem? # lib/myengine/engine.rb module myengine class engine < rails::engine isolate_namespace myengine # def ... end end for example. parent module myengine , child module blog. myengine share common domain, crud, taggable, searchable, etc, keep gem code dry , isolated main app (myapp), while inheriting isolated namespace , engine. are either of 2 approaches correct? refactor advice? # # lib/myengine/blog.rb module myengine module blog # def ... end end # b # lib/myengine/blog.rb module myengine class engine < rails::engine isolate_namespace myengine module blog # def ... end end end option a. correct, should lib/my_engine/blog.rb . can read more ruby & rails naming conventions here . further, if want put more modules or classes under blog namespace put them in folder lib/my_engine/blog , nest them under myengine::bl...

php - Why I am getting the Error "Commands out of sync; you can't run this command now" -

the documentation of error mentioned in title says if commands out of sync; can't run command now in client code, calling client functions in wrong order. this can happen, example, if using mysql_use_result() , try execute new query before have called mysql_free_result(). can happen if try execute 2 queries return data without calling mysql_use_result() or mysql_store_result() in between. from here: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/commands-out-of-sync.html but in first query not fetching data mysql database, inserting. , in second query getting data database. here code $connection = mysqli_connect("localhost","username","password","tbl_msgs"); if(mysqli_connect_errno($connection)) { die("failed connect mysql: " . mysqli_connect_error()); } $query = "insert users (total_comments, total_views) values ({$total_comments}, {$total_views});"; $query .= "insert msgs (no...
