porting

Cygwin FAQ has the following info for 'Where is glibc?' : Cygwin does not provide glibc. It uses newlib instead, which provides much (but not all) of the same functionality. Porting glibc to Cygwin would be difficult. I was surprised and checked out the release packages as i had earlier used it. While i checked the repositories, it appears that glibc was actually indeed part of cygwin until version 2.10. Can anyone tell of the porting difficulty for the subsequent versions of glibc ? The Cygwin FAQ is correct, of course; glibc has never been part of Cygwin. The C library on Cygwin is cygwin1

I have an application that I am porting to Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 that builds and runs fine on Linux. I am having trouble with the time routines, my Linux code looks like this: #include <sys/types.h> #include <sys/time.h> typedef long long Usec; inline Usec timevalToUsec(const timeval &tv) { return (((Usec) tv.tv_sec) * 1000000) + ((Usec) tv.tv_usec); } But the compiler fails on the sys/time.h header file: fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'sys/time.h': No such file or directory If I change the include to just time.h I get a different error with timeval not being defined:

I'm porting a small (<10 classes) C++ project to Java. The project manipulates sound files, and in C++ does this using libsndfile . The code includes stuff like: const int channels = audioFileInfo.channels; ... sf_readf_double( audioFile, inputBuffer, MAX_ECHO ); ... sf_writef_double( outputAudioFile, &currentAudioBuffer[WINDOW_SIZE * channels], SEGMENTATION_LENGTH ); In Java, what's the best way to manipulate sound files on a low level? I'm talking about stuff like normalizing, adding echoes etc. Progress Report After a bit of digging I've found javax.sound.sampled , which looks like it might

C# has the notion of events on a language level , using the reserved keywords event and delegate to define publisher and subscriber methods. It has been asked if Java has native support for that but the answer is obviously no. There are several alternatives , which include using AWT/Swing styled events, building my own Observer pattern or using other means of publish/subscribe. It is possible but as one answer said, "just requires a bit more legwork." In general any implementation follows the same typed approach and could be automated. Java has different mechanisms for meta programming, e.g.
