How to output variable contents to "LogCat" window in Android-ndk - printing

I am using Android-sdk-ndk in an Eclipse+ADT environment. In Android-sdk Java development, I could use "Log.i", "Log.w", ... statements to output messages and variable contents to the "LogCat" window. However, in Android-ndk C/C++ development, is there any similar C/C++ "print-like" statement that outputs messages / variable contents from a JNI C/C++ module to the "LogCat" window so that I could have some debug informations for my program.
Thanks for any suggestion.

From this guide: http://www.srombauts.fr/2011/03/06/standalone-toolchain/
You can #define the logging methods like this:
#define LOGI(...) ((void)__android_log_print(ANDROID_LOG_INFO, "hello-ndk", __VA_ARGS__))
And you need to make sure you're linking to liblog by compiling similar to this (just add -l log):
arm-linux-androideabi-gcc hello-ndk.c -l log -o hello-ndk

Parameter of the dxgettext command line to "Add likely ignores to ignore po file"

The dxgettext Extract Translations GUI has a switch to Add likely ignores to ignore po file but I don't see the correspondent parameter when calling dxgettext as a command line.
I'm building a batch file doing several tasks when preparing a new release and I would like that the translations extraction step behaves similarly than when called from the UI, moving to a separate file the strings that will clearly not need to be translated.
These are the parameters that I'm using:
dxgettext -b MyProjectPath --delphi --nonascii -r --useignorepo --preserveUserComments
Thank you.
I had the same problem as you do. Tho solve it for my OpenSource image organizer application, I use the following batch file to extract the strings from the sources and remove all strings to be ignored:
c:\Utils\dxgettext -b . --delphi --nonascii --no-wrap -o:msgid -o .
c:\Utils\msgremove default.po -i OvbImgOrganizerLanguageIgnore.po -o OvbImgOrganizerLanguage.pot --no-wrap
del OvbImgOrganizerLanguageDefaultBak.po
ren default.po OvbImgOrganizerLanguageDefaultBak.po
This batch is run with current directory being the source code directory.
That dialog is provided by the GUI ggdxgettext tool.
By the look of it, the dxgettext command line tool does this automatically by default:
item := dom.order.Objects[j] as TPoEntry;
ignoreitem:=ignorelist.Find(item.MsgId);
if ignoreitem=nil then begin
newitem:=TPoEntry.Create;
newitem.Assign(item);
if not IsProbablyTranslatable( newitem,
nil,
nil) then
ignorelist.Add(newitem)
else
FreeAndNil (newitem);
end else begin
ignoreitem.AutoCommentList.Text:=item.AutoCommentList.Text;
end;
But I am not quite sure since I haven't tried to analyze the program flow.
The sources are available on SourceForge, so you can check yourself.

Is it possible to run a Python program within a Java "GraalVM" program?

From the GraalVM examples, they have code like this to run a single line of Python code:
context.eval("python", "\nprint('Hello polyglot world Python!');");
Yes that works fine in a Java program.
I can also run a Python program from the command line using the "graalpython" program.
My question is how do I run a python program from the Java example I mentioned above?
context.eval("python", "\nprint('Hello polyglot world Python!');");
I tried using the "file:" argument, but that didn't work or I'm doing something wrong.
For example, this did not work:
context.eval("python", "file: /path_to_python/test.py");
This line of code gives me:
Original Internal Error:
java.lang.RuntimeException: not implemented
So, maybe that answers my question, but I have to believe you can run a python script from a GRAAL program like you can a single line of code. Hence, this posting.

Is running a python program from within a Java program using graal "eval" supported? If so, I would very much appreciate an example of usage.
Thanks very much.
You need to build a Source object in order to eval a file:
File file = new File("/path_to_python/test.py");
Source source = Source.newBuilder("python", file).build();
context.eval(source);

How can I enable clang-tidy's "modernize" checks?

I just installed ClangOnWin,and I'm trying to get clang-tidy's "modernize" checks to work. Unfortunately, clang-tidy doesn't seem to know about them: clang-tidy -list-checks foo.cpp -- | grep modernize produces no output.
The "modernize" checks are listed here, but that page seems to document Clang 3.8, and the version I have installed is 3.7. However, version 3.7 is the current one listed at the LLVM Download Page.
clang-tidy knows about a variety of security checks, so I think I have it installed correctly. For example, clang-tidy -list-checks foo.cpp -- | grep security yields this:
clang-analyzer-security.FloatLoopCounter
clang-analyzer-security.insecureAPI.UncheckedReturn
clang-analyzer-security.insecureAPI.getpw
clang-analyzer-security.insecureAPI.gets
clang-analyzer-security.insecureAPI.mkstemp
clang-analyzer-security.insecureAPI.mktemp
clang-analyzer-security.insecureAPI.rand
clang-analyzer-security.insecureAPI.strcpy
clang-analyzer-security.insecureAPI.vfork
Is there something special I need to do to enable checks such as modernize-use-override and modernize-use-nullptr?
The modernize checks were added after 3.7 (ported from clang-modernize), but try adding -checks="*" to see the whole list of available checks.
clang-tidy -list-checks -checks="*" foo.cpp --
Have you tried with the official binaries from LLVM: http://llvm.org/releases/download.html ? Maybe the ClangOnWin binaries are not compiled with all options, or something of that kind.

How to use flex option -o (--output=FILE)

I met a problem when trying to flex abcd.l. I wanted to redirect the output to a new file instead of the default one lex.yy.c
I looked up it in manual finding an option -o(--output=FILE) so I changed my command to flex xx.l -o lex.yy.1.c but error occurs.
flex: can't open --outfile=lex.yy.1.c
/usr/bin/m4:stdin:2621: ERROR: end of file in string
My working environment is cygwin and windows 7
You need to put command line options before positional arguments:
flex -o lex.yy.1.c xx.l
Once a positional (filename) argument is recognized, flex assumes that all following arguments are also filenames. This is the normal form of argument processing for command-line utilities, although some (gcc, for example) allow options to follow the filenames.
(Personally, I'd suggest using a filename like xx.lex.c, but the principle is the same.)

"** exception error: undefined function add:addfunc/0 in Erlang "

I'm trying to execute a simple erlang program of adding two numbers.
I'm trying to do this in Eclipse on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS.
When i execute this program, I'm getting the error as shown below:
** exception error: undefined function add:addfunc/0
How do i go about solving this error? Thanks in advance.
This program when executed in the erlang shell is working fine. But when it comes to eclipse it's giving me this error. Not this, any program for that matter is giving me the similar error. Guess I would be missing something about the eclipse configuration.
EDIT:
Anyways, This is the sample add program,
-module(add).
-export([addfunc/0]).
addfunc() ->
5 + 6.
This message tells you that module add doesn't have an exported function addfunc/0.
Ensure the function you want to be called has exactly that name, doesn't expect any
parameters, is
exported, the module is
compiled, the search path includes the compiled beam file and that there is no module clashes using code:clash()
Update
It's not clear how erlide (eclipse erlang plug-in you seem to use) compiles and runs a program. Try to compile source using erlc or inside erl shell. That way you'll have much easier controllable environment and you'll better understand what's going on.
I got exactly the same problem -for a tail recursive fibonacci function- below:
-module(math2).
-export([fibonacci/1]).
fibonacci(0) -> 0;
fibonacci(1) -> 1;
fibonacci(M) -> fibonacci(M-1) + fibonacci(M-2).
In the end, had realized that this is a compile-time exception. Then, have opened a new tab on my shell and tried with erlc, instead of erl.
$ erlc math2.erl
Now I am also able to see math2.beam file created.
Called fibonacci with 10:
4> math2:fibonacci(10).
55
and it worked!
I think you have not compiled the code and you are trying to run the program.
In eclipse, using the "Run" icon, trigger the run; which will get you to the erl shell in the console window.
There you do -
cd("C:\Learning_ERL\src").
And you should see output like-
(Learning-ERL#DALAKSHM-MNFSM)7> cd("C:\Learning_ERL\src").
c:/Learning_ERL/src
ok
Then compile the code -
c(add)
you should see something like this on the erl shell-
(Learning-ERL#DALAKSHM-MNFSM)10> c(add).
{ok,add}
Now you should be seeing a new file called - add.beam in the same directory as that of your erl source file - add.erl
add.beam is a bytecode file
Now you should be able to run the program without any error
How do you try to execute your code?
In your editor, right-click and choose "Run as"->"Erlang application". The VM that is launched will have your project loaded automatically and when editing/saving a file it will get reloaded. When launching, a console appears and you can call your code from there.
If it still doesn't work, what message do you get for m(add).?
