I've stumbled upon CGAL and it seems amazing.
Anyone know of any simple ways I can test some of it's magic out without knowing any prior C++ or programming? Or a really thorough guide?
Just to get you an understanding of my general tech level(unrelated to CGAL) I know printf.. prints.. stuff.. but I have no idea how to put that into practice. And I've managed to install npm modules by slamming commands into cmd and run a module afterwards.
If there's no easy beginning to get a taste of this, other tips is also welcome if I have to take a longer route to understanding this.
What I want to achive is my input is pointcloud data scans -> magic/CGAL/ -> 3D models is my output
You can try the 3D polyhedron demo that contains most of the functionalities of CGAL.
You can compile it yourself by compiling the code in demo/Polyhedron from a release or use the pre-compiled windows demo available: demo + dlls to be extracted in the directory of the demo.
Also here is a WIP version of a tutorial that should be integrated in the official documentation soon.

I have some source code for the BaNa Noise Resilient Pitch Detection Algorithm downloaded here, and I am planning to use the code they provided as a library for a mobile app I'm making. It's written in Objective-C for MATLAB and so I'd probably need to deploy it to a DLL to be able to use it for external applications.
The only thing is that I'm a student, and I don't really have the funds to purchase MATLAB just to be able to work with this algorithm, and so I'm downloading Octave, which was a suggested alternative. This should be able to make working and editing the code for my research possible, but my concern is if I can deploy the code into usable libraries for the application in which I'm going to make using the Unity Game Engine.
I'm not sure if the direction I'm going at will bring me to a dead-end or not, so I'd like to ask for insights regarding this.
What I have now:
1) Source code in MATLAB (.m files)
2) Octave (currently downloading, I'm not even sure if it has the built-in methods I need)
What I plan to do:
1) Use Octave to edit code and test out if the code I have works
2) Deploy it to a DLL file (Is this even possible with Octave?)
3) Use that DLL in Unity3D
Would you guys have any suggestions, alternative workarounds, or foreseeable problems I may encounter with this? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance,
Justin
Depending on what functionality from MATLAB (and especially toolboxes), the code should run just fine in Octave, maybe with some minor modifications. If however, the code relies heavily on some toolbox functionality that has not been implemented in Octave, then you have a fair amount of recoding to do.
There is not easy way that I know of to generate a DLL from Octave. Having said that, have a look at How do I create a simple Octave distributable without installing Octave and this section of the Octave documentation on the subject of generating standalone programs from Octave, it might point you in the right direction.
I want to add an API like git_merge_octopus_bases, but how perform the local test cases? Could please show me some documents for this kind topics.
The libgit2 project relies on the Clar test framework.
You can get a first grasp of Clar features and usage in the Readme file.
The following documents should help one understand the basics of contributing to libgit2:

I've written a module in Verilog using vi as my editor and now I want to test it.
What are my options if I have no board?
How can I give my module inputs? Where can I see the results?
I have access to VCS by the way.
Thank you.
You are probably looking for a simulator.
First, you have to write a testbench which wraps around your Verilog module and drives the input signals. This testbench can also check that the output of your module matches the expected output. You can find many tutorials on writing testbenches online.
This testbench and your module are then "executed" in a simulator. I'm not familiar with all the options, but I know the free Xilinx ISE Web Pack includes a simulator.
Modelsim is a commercial package. They also offer a free student edition.
For anyone else who has the same question, I found a testbench tutorial, like Vortexfive suggested, in the link bellow:

In my Python development, doctest has really helped both to
make writing unit tests less annoying, and
integrate usage examples with documentation.
I was wondering, is there anything like this available in the Matlab world? It doesn't have to literally use code comments as a test, but if it had those two desirable qualities, that would be great!
This exists now! There are three versions out there:
An Octave-compatible version that still gets some development
A version of Matlab-xUnit with an integrated doctest runner
The original version from 2010, which is self-contained and emits results in TAP format
Not yet, but there is something to generate documentation called M2HTML.
It is very useful, and you can take a look at the examples at that page to see how wonderful results it's producing (even dependency graphs :) ).
For unit testing in MATLAB, even if there are many solutions, mlUnit was the most efficient to me.
There is no direct equivalent to doctest in MATLAB.
There is, however, a nice unit testing framework on the Matlab File Exchange.
I'm using GNUstep to begin with learning Objective-C.
I could find the header files for all, but don't know where to find its implementation files.
I was thinking, with that I can understand the whole programming style and many more.
I am working without mac , so if some body knows about any good tutorials , that i can use to identify structure of every Classes.
For instance, i have to parse an xml file, just to learn,
but don't know where to start.
Without IDE its hard to find out the sequence, and I don't have got access to any tutorials that best explains this, ( all that i get is in accordance with i-Phone and Cocoa. )
I'm concentrating on console programs, so that I can be thorough with the syntax and language.
Pls help me.
http://gnustep.org/ is the best resource for GNUstep related information, including source and documentation.
GNUStep has some tutorials and definitely the source code available.
You will find that there are small bits and pieces where Cocoa has moved on so GNUStep will not recognize new methods and things like properties or any new objective-2.0 stuff and so on.
Where ever you have the source installed, you can find NSString.m here
/path_to_my_src/gnustep/modules/core/base/Source/NSString.m
