locking

I have a logger class that handles various information display with pretty colors (yay.). However, since it writes to the console in separated steps ( i.e. set color to red, write text, set color to gray, write text, for something that would render "[Error] Description..." with the error being in red ), but I have a multithreaded application, so the steps can get mixed up and print random stuff in random colors. I am aware of the lock keyword, however it will not work with a static class such as the console. Here is some example code if I was unclear: using System; using System.Text; namespace

I had been struggling for weeks with a poor-performing translator I had written. On the following simple bechmark #include<stdio.h> int main() { int x; char buf[2048]; FILE *test = fopen("test.out", "wb"); setvbuf(test, buf, _IOFBF, sizeof buf); for(x=0;x<1024*1024; x++) fprintf(test, "%04d", x); fclose(test); return 0 } we see the following result bash-3.1$ gcc -O2 -static test.c -o test bash-3.1$ time ./test real 0m0.334s user 0m0.015s sys 0m0.016s As you can see, the moment the "-std=c99" flag is added in, performance comes crashing down: bash-3.1$ gcc -O2 -static -std=c99 test.c -o test

I would like to temporarily lock a table to prevent other concurrent processes from making changes to it. The reason for this is that this table is going to be copied to a temp table, altered, and then copied back (well original is actually dropped and new table is renamed). Then after all this is complete, I want to unlock the table and hopefully have anything that was attempted during the lock resume. I also need to be able to read from the table that has been locked to build the new table. Here is what I tried, but it doesn't appear to work. $mysqli = new mysqli(DB_HOST, DB_USER, DB
