linux - How to run a C++ program in another C++ program? -

-

i have simple c++ program takes in inputs , outputs string. this:

$ ./game $ kind of game? type r regular, s special. $ r $ choose number 1 - 10 $ 1 $ no try again $ 2 $ no try again $ 5 $ yes win!

now want write c++ program can runs c++ program , plays game automatically without user input , outputs file or standard output.

running this:

./program game r > outputfile

game game program, r playing regular style.

how should this? main reason need program want automatic testing bigger program.

you use std::system <cstdlib>:

std::system("game r > outputfile");

the return value ./program's, sole argument must of type char const *.

there no standard way run program , feed standard input, though. judging command line, you're on unix variant popen <stdio.h> should work:

file *sub = popen("game r > outputfile", "w");

then write sub stdio functions , read outputfile afterwards.

(but simple testing, i'd recommend implementing core logic of program set of functions/classes can run custom main function in loop; or pick favorite scripting language handle kind of thing.)

razor - Is this a bug in WebMatrix PageData? -

i think may have found bug in webmatrix's pagedata, not sure. concerns how pass data partial page calling page. in webmatrix documentation (tutorials, e.g. " 3 - creating consistent look ", , example code), pagedata recommended mechanism pass data between pages (e.g. content page layout page, or partial page). however have found not work other way, pass data partial page calling page. modifying or adding entries in pagedata in partial page, not seem calling page. cutting right down simplest possible example, in test page may have this: @{ pagedata["test"] = "initial entry"; } <p>before calling partial page, test value @pagedata["test"]</p> @renderpage("_testpartial.cshtml") <p>after returning calling page, test value @pagedata["test"]</p> and in _testpartial.cshtml page might have this: @{ pagedata["test"] = "modified entry"; } <p>in partial page...

c# - How to set Z index when using WPF DrawingContext? -

-
how set z-index drawing object when using drawingcontext.drawxxx() methods? the object drawn last have higher z index. can't change index of drawn objects. way draw in order. if using wpf (as placed tag), can use, example, canvas control. create shapes need like polyline obj = new polyline(); //... // ... set properties of obj and add them canvas uielementcollection: yourcanvasname.children.add(obj); //or yourcanvasname.children.insert(i, obj); first items of collection have higher z index. advantages in way: no need redraw on window changes, can anytime move objects , change order.

c# - Cloning WPF controls and object hierarchies -

i have problems cloning object hierarchie. it's toolkit modelling applications, toolbox contains class instances prototypes. i'm having hard time cloning these :) the following code shows problem: public abstract class shape { protected list<uielement> elements; private canvas canvas; ... public canvas getcanvas() { ... }; } public class movableshape : shape { protected ... propertya; private ... propertyxy; ... } public abstract class abstractlayout : movableshape, ... { ... } public class somelayoutclass : abstractlayout, ... { ... } public class acontainingclass { somelayoutclass layout { get; set; } ... } when insert object of acontainingclass project worksheet, should cloned. far tried manual cloning (which fails because of private fields in base classes) , binary serialization ( binaryformatter , memorystreams ). the first approach lacks way call base.clone() method (or wrong?), latter not work because uielement s aren't...
