And there was the tour guides description of a painting in an art museum: Happy Nude? Yeah!
As for the iPhone and the Firework? One thing they do have in common, which is that with either of them you're liable to get burned.

They were arrested after fighting in the sea. They were scrolling around, sparks flying. One was charged with assaulty battery; the other was not let off, but was given a rocket.
FTFY.

Thank you CP staffers and regulars for creating a friendly and helpful climate here.
I just got done working really hard on ostensibly cross platform project but i couldn't compile on windows because my windows machine is down, and then @Randor came along with a shiny MSVC compiler and some C++ expertise and put in serious work helping me shore up my code.
And that's the sort of thing I have actually come to count on here, and it occurred to me that I do just now, and so that is the inspiration for this message.
Y'all are great. This site is great. There's magic here.
It's why you aren't getting rid of me any time soon.

You aren't getting rid of me that easily.
In seriousness though, I love to create, and so working inspires more creation. That and really, I only work part time, but in spurts, so I absences shall be abrupt and short lived.
You're stuck with me.

honey the codewitch wrote: I only work part time, but in spurt
In the fullness of time, and speaking of such things is very timely at this time, I realize a one-time mistake I made. Unfortunately, such is hindsight, that one can only pass on learned wisdom and hope it will help others.
Take my advice: next time be born rich.
OK - what's done is done and you really cannot blame yourself - yet, it does lead one to realize such mistakes, so early in life, can have long term consequences.

I mean, I probably would have chosen to not be schizo if I had been able to make those kinds of choices. Money has never really been anything other than a temporary obstacle for me. I don't really care about money, or I should say, it's not money that motivates me. The only time i care about it is if i don't have any and i happen to need some. I've restructured my life such that this rarely happens.

Nothing about your on-line persona qua diva, your productivity, your obvious intellect, suggests schizophrenia.
The crucible of "not fitting in," the forge and hammered anvil of capricious social rejection in the often vicious rip-tides of adolescence, the presence of unusual abilities ... all these, in some unfathomable way, remind me of:
"I speak in a poem of the ancient food of heroes: humiliation, unhappiness, discord. Those things are given to us to transform, so that we may make from the miserable circumstances of our lives things that are eternal, or aspire to be so." Jorge Luis Borges May you have a blessed year.
"Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it." Jalaluddin Rumi

I'm not schizophrenic. I'm schizoaffective. We share some symptoms.
There are plenty of disorders under the cluster a "schizo" umbrella, some more benign, some absolutely devastating.
Have a happy new year.

If this exists I want it. If it doesn't exist I might build it:
I want something that allows me to highlight a routine or chunk of code in C++ and disassemble, showing me only that section.
It's probably a lot trickier than it sounds to implement, if it's even possible.
But if such an animal exists, particularly as a VS code plugin, sign me up.

When I did a lot of C coding (at least before Windows NT), I handled such things per-emptively with one of my favorite parts of C, to which I mean, the asm { } directive. It ended when directly accessing the bios and O/S, in general, became problematic and broke so many wonderful programs (they weren't called "apps" yet).
You can do it! And inline assembly is somehow remarkably satisfying.

Are you kidding me?
I'm still miffed that I haven't figured out a better way to do this (gcc on x86/64):
if(someTemporaryCheckConditionForDebugging) asm("int $3");

You're making me think. How to do this without excessive pain?
OK - how about a flank attack? Temporarily hide the source of the debug code and when an error is thrown (force one?) then when asked to debug then VS will open up what it has, which is the asm code? It used to open up at the right place - so a cleverly placed somewhat fatal error should bring your to where you need to be.

With Visual Studio I can set conditional breakpoints. Although even there, I fall back on this technique, because variants are usable for it everywhere - even on command line builds, even with GCC, and even in C#!

If it is .net code then you can use the free tool that I use for C#:
dotPeek: Free .NET Decompiler & Assembly Browser by JetBrains[^]
I don't know if any other tool that is free to use that does the same thing for non .net code.
This tool reads in a .dll and shows you all the members, methods, classes, etc. in tree form (and searchable). I have used it to port over VB.net code to C#, that was only in a .dll (missing source code). It helps a lot.
... of course, providing the assembly code is was not obfuscated first.

|

Yeah, I use VS's builtins, reflector or ildasm for that. This is unmanaged code though so you don't have type information in a happy metadata file to work with, and the C++ compiler may take that neat little struct you made and totally deconstruct it into its component parts and scatter it across your binary.
So things get ... complicated.

I suppose that you are curious as to how that multiply affected your code.
movsd xmm0, QWORD PTR __real@4024000000000000
; 457 : st.real+=(cp*(pow(10, (st.flags.fracCount * -1))));
neg eax <------------That's the sign reversal
xorps xmm1, xmm1

I assumed that, but it's nice to verify. One thing I miss about Visual Studio is getting disassembly out of your code was pretty easy. No wrangling with much.
What's interesting to me is what registers it's using. looks like SIMD instructions.
