MSVC 2022 compiler bug

Static asserts in the code below do not fail with MSVC 19.32.31332 for x86:

#include <string>

int main()
{
    std::string v = "abc";

    auto func = [v]()
    {
        auto& l_ref = v;

        static_assert(std::is_same_v<decltype(l_ref), std::string&>);

        auto&& r_ref = std::move(v);

        static_assert(std::is_same_v<decltype(r_ref), std::string&&>);
    };

    func();

    return 0;
}

that is MSVC compiler bug. With GCC both l_ref and r_ref are const references.

Thanks to stackoverflow.com.

Reported this to Microsoft.

Switching to PHP 7.4 on Ubuntu 16.04

Some WordPress plugins stopped working with PHP 7.0 on my Ubuntu 16.04 server and I switched to PHP 7.4 with the following commands:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:jczaplicki/xenial-php74-temp
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install php7.4 php7.4-fpm php7.4-cli php7.4-mysql php7.4-dom php7.4-mbstring -y
service php7.4-fpm status
cd /etc/php/7.4/fpm/pool.d
sudo mv www.conf www.conf.dist
sudo mv ../../../7.0/fpm/pool.d/devnote.conf .
sudo service php7.0-fpm reload
sudo service php7.4-fpm reload

An example of how r-value reference works in C++

An example of extending the lifetime of a temporary:

#include <iostream>

int main()
{
    int a = 1;
    int&& b = std::move(a);
    int&& c = b + 1;

    b = b + 1;
    c = c + 1;

    std::cout << a << b << c;
}

The output is:

QObject::sender() is a slow function

I did not expect that its share of CPU usage in my app is 12.15%:

Why does it iterate over some collection? Isn’t there only one sender in a thread?

Handling messages from Binance Websocket streams

User Data Stream

To subscribe I query listen key:

POST /api/v3/userDataStream

connect to websocket wss://stream.binance.com:9443/stream and send the listen key with the following message :

{
    "id": 1,
    "method": "SUBSCRIBE",
    "params": [
        "<my listen key>"
    ]
}

When Binance accepts the subscription it sends:

{
    "id": 1,
    "result": null
}

Using std::future as a coroutine in C++20

In C++20 it is possible to do this:

std::future<int> compute(as_coroutine) {
  int a = co_await std::async([] { return 6; });
  int b = co_await std::async([] { return 7; });
  co_return a * b;
}
 
std::future<void> fail(as_coroutine) {
  throw std::runtime_error("bleah");
  co_return;
}
 
int main() {
  std::cout << compute({}).get() << '\n';
 
  try {
    fail({}).get();
  } catch (const std::runtime_error &e) {
    std::cout << "error: " << e.what() << '\n';
  }
}

Switching to a different thread with async/await in C#

The code below switches to a different thread when the execution of Main() is resumed at line 11:

internal class Program
{
    static async Task Main(string[] args)
    {
        try
        {
            HttpClient client = new HttpClient();

            Console.WriteLine($"Thread: {Thread.CurrentThread.ManagedThreadId}");
                
            HttpResponseMessage response = await client.GetAsync("https://developernote.com/");

            Console.WriteLine($"Thread: {Thread.CurrentThread.ManagedThreadId}");

            response.EnsureSuccessStatusCode();

            string responseBody = await response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();

            Console.WriteLine($"Thread: {Thread.CurrentThread.ManagedThreadId}");

            Console.WriteLine(responseBody);
        }
        catch (HttpRequestException e)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("\nException Caught!");

            Console.WriteLine($"Thread: {Thread.CurrentThread.ManagedThreadId}");

        }
    }
