Format a quantity in bytes into a human readable string (C)
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h> // atoll
#include <stdint.h> // uint64_t
#include <inttypes.h> // PRIu64
static const char *humanSize(uint64_t bytes)
{
char *suffix[] = {"B", "KB", "MB", "GB", "TB"};
char length = sizeof(suffix) / sizeof(suffix[0]);

Setup p4merge as difftool and mergetool on Windows

Setting up p4merge as diff and merge tool on Windows. Tried for Git version 1.8.4.msysgit.0.

Two alternatives are explained: using the command line, and directly editing the config file.

Setting up from the command line

Being the installation path "C:Program Files\Perforce\p4merge.exe", just run:

$ git config --global diff.tool p4merge

Valgrind debugging notes

Remote debugging with GDB and Valgrind

First, Valgrind starts the program to debug:

$ valgrind --vgdb=yes --vgdb-error=0 [valgrind-options] [program] [program-options]

It will halt until GDB is hooked to the process, from another terminal:

Generating and viewing core dumps

Enable generating core dumps

The configuration file /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern defines the default behaviour when a crash occurs. If it contains a single word such as core, a core dump will be generated on the current directory with that name. If the first character of its content is |, then the core file will be piped to a process, such as Apport (|/usr/share/apport/apport %p %s %c).

To enable core dumps for your current terminal session ignoring the default action:

ulimit -c unlimited
