omg i feel you. i thought that making software with c++ and sdl2 was hard, then switched to lua and love2d where there are types of values, not variables. just now i feel how much i miss my typed variables... (but still, lua is pretty cool tbh, works great with the c api)

yeah, sure. not using brackets for a single statement is idiomatic C.
from my experience it makes it even harder to debug programs and i only remove the brackets if it is the final thing i want to write to save the file size (in a contest usually)

@electrineer my machine has 2gb of ram and a pentium running, so nooo.
it's just a laptop from the early '10

@electrineer after a little more digging and using -v when compiling i found out it was using cygwin version, not the mingw version. i just hope my project will compile on a linux system because i currently do not have access to one yet. (i have to wait til september)

@electrineer omg dude. I FUCKING LOVE YOU. (no homo) YOU JUST PUT A SMILE ON MY FACE. IT FINALLY WORKED. thanks dude for helping me and staying for this long . if you ever need me contact me no problem. THAAAANKS!! I CAN BARELY HOLD MY TEARS. THIS PROBLEM WASTED HOURSSS OF MY LIFE. THANK YOUU!

@electrineer yes. here is the build log if it helps:

and my dirent.h in my include folder from mingw:

@electrineer https://github.com/zetef/Smedit
an older side project of mine. i used the dd_name to set the title bar text to the current folder. forgive me for the ugly code formatting and literally everything, i was just begining open source coding.

look at line 163 specifically. dir is a global DIR* structure.

@endor @Parzi no guys, it just doesn't want to. and i swear to god i have functional programs that worked with this. anyways, do you know how should i do this problem? i just want to output the folder name of the folder path entered as a command line argument.

example:

>pwd

>c/dev/test_folder

>./program .

>test_folder

>./program ..

>dev

i searched all of the internet and no luck.

@Parzi what do you mean by that? i never heard that term before.

@electrineer no, that is for the dirent struct. I want the dd_name for the DIR struct.

actaully what i want is this.

when run the program it should accept an argument and that argument should be a path to a folder. and if you run
. /evalite .
it should output the name of the folder itself, in this case evalite.
or if i run
./evalite ..
it should output 'projects', the name of the folder. currently it outputs . and .. in those cases and I know the way to do this is accessing the variable dd_name because i used this in other projects of mine.

@devTea about that, you could also do this:
a = (b = a + b) - a
b = b - a

it would have been funnier if it were like this:
for (i = 0; i < 10; i++)
you know, because you didn't initialize a new variable in the loop

@anolis talking about C code, if you don't know you have to check for errors then you're fucked

@coolguy101 no, i am from romania

@coolguy101 @sbiewald i just literally accessed this address: www.site.com/spgm/lang/site.php

there was already the c99 shell on the server, i just accessed it.

@sbiewald i was as confused as @coolguy101. thanks for sharing!

@coolguy101 in the next post i will the other story with how i think i figured out the 'bad' guys

@jAsE it's not that i don't like city skylines but my computer couldn't handle it and i am currently happy with NAM installed so that i could get roundabouts and curved streets.

i play simcity 4 deluxe soooo

@FelisPhasma i actually use linear filtering, the equivalent of setting the render scale quality to 1 but it doesn't seems to work. but this is on my to do

that's because you don't thank the train driver... oh wait, wasn't it the bus driver?

@ribchinski maybe you are right, i dunno

@ribchinski I've done this today. where else did you saw this meme?

holy cow that contrast between day and (almost) night!
