In my program, I have a class that I want to be allocated before entering main(). I'd like to tuck these away in a separate module to keep the clutter out of my code; However, as soon as the module goes out of scope (before main() is entered), the objects are deallocated, leaving me trying to use a null reference in main. A short example:
// main.d
import SceneData;
int main(string[] argv)
{
start.onSceneEnter();
readln();
return 0;
}
// SceneData.d
import Scene;
public
{
Scene start;
}
static this()
{
Scene start = new Scene("start", "test", "test";
}
// Scene.d
import std.stdio;
class Scene
{
public
{
this(string name)
{
this.name = name;
}
this(string name, string descriptionOnEnter, string descriptionOnConnect)
{
this.name = name;
this.descriptionOnEnter = descriptionOnEnter;
this.descriptionOnConnect = descriptionOnConnect;
}
void onSceneEnter()
{
writeln(name);
writeln(descriptionOnEnter);
}
}
private
{
string name;
string descriptionOnEnter;
string descriptionOnConnect;
}
}
I'm still getting used to the concept of modules being the basic unit of encapsulation, as opposed to the class in C++ and Java. Is this possible to do in D, or must I move my initializations to the main module?
Here:
static this()
{
Scene start = new Scene("start", "test", "test");
}
"start" is a local scope variable that shadows global one. Global one is not initialized.
After I have changed this to:
static this()
{
start = new Scene("start", "test", "test");
}
Program crashed no more.

All the examples I've seen that use aspect oriented programming for logging either log just class, method name and duration, and if they log parameters and return values they simply use ToString(). I need to have more control over what is logged. For example I want to skip passwords, or in some cases log all properties of an object but in other cases just the id property.
Any suggestions? I looked at AspectJ in Java and Unity interception in C# and could not find a solution.
You could try introducing parameter annotations to augment your parameters with some attributes. One of those attributes could signal to skip logging the parameter, another one could be used to specify a converter class for the string representation.
With the following annotations:
#Documented
#Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME)
#Target(ElementType.METHOD)
public #interface Log {
}
#Documented
#Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME)
#Target(ElementType.PARAMETER)
public #interface SkipLogging {
}
#Documented
#Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME)
#Target(ElementType.PARAMETER)
public #interface ToStringWith {
Class<? extends Function<?, String>> value();
}
the aspect could look like this:
import java.lang.reflect.Parameter;
import java.util.function.Function;
import java.util.stream.Collectors;
import java.util.stream.IntStream;
import org.aspectj.lang.reflect.MethodSignature;
import org.slf4j.Logger;
import org.slf4j.LoggerFactory;
public aspect LoggingAspect {
private final static Logger logger = LoggerFactory.getLogger(LoggingAspect.class);
pointcut loggableMethod(): execution(#Log * *..*.*(..));
before(): loggableMethod() {
MethodSignature signature = (MethodSignature) thisJoinPoint.getSignature();
Parameter[] parameters = signature.getMethod()
.getParameters();
String message = IntStream.range(0, parameters.length)
.filter(i -> this.isLoggable(parameters[i]))
.<String>mapToObj(i -> toString(parameters[i], thisJoinPoint.getArgs()[i]))
.collect(Collectors.joining(", ",
"method execution " + signature.getName() + "(", ")"));
Logger methodLogger = LoggerFactory.getLogger(
thisJoinPointStaticPart.getSignature().getDeclaringType());
methodLogger.debug(message);
}
private boolean isLoggable(Parameter parameter) {
return parameter.getAnnotation(SkipLogging.class) == null;
}
private String toString(Parameter parameter, Object value) {
ToStringWith toStringWith = parameter.getAnnotation(ToStringWith.class);
if (toStringWith != null) {
Class<? extends Function<?, String>> converterClass =
toStringWith.value();
try {
#SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
Function<Object, String> converter = (Function<Object, String>)
converterClass.newInstance();
String str = converter.apply(value);
return String.format("%s='%s'", parameter.getName(), str);
} catch (Exception e) {
logger.error("Couldn't instantiate toString converter for logging "
+ converterClass.getName(), e);
return String.format("%s=<error converting to string>",
parameter.getName());
}
} else {
return String.format("%s='%s'", parameter.getName(), String.valueOf(value));
}
}
}
Test code:
public static class SomethingToStringConverter implements Function<Something, String> {
#Override
public String apply(Something something) {
return "Something nice";
}
}
#Log
public void test(
#ToStringWith(SomethingToStringConverter.class) Something something,
String string,
#SkipLogging Class<?> cls,
Object object) {
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
// execution of this method should log the following message:
// method execution test(something='Something nice', string='some string', object='null')
test(new Something(), "some string", Object.class, null);
}
I used Java 8 Streams API in my answer for it's compactness, you could convert the code to normal Java code if you don't use Java 8 features or need better efficiency. It's just to give you an idea.
I am making an application which uses serial communication. In SerialEvent method of that class, I am awaiting for a input from COM port, and then I want to pass it to the controller class of an .fxml screen.
Input will always be 8 bytes, and it works correctly inside that thread (I read the input and by printing it to the output, I see that the String is correct). However, when I try to pass it "in real time" to the controller class, I have a problem.
If I pass it directly, it does receieve it, but I can't invoke anything later (Not on FX Application Thread exception), I know that I can't do it that way, that I need to use Platform.runLater or similair solution, but if I use it that way, my controller class never receives that input, textField which I am trying to update stays blank.
I will copy part of the code here, and I am hoping that someone tell me what I'm doing wrong.
SERIALEVENT METHOD OF ANOTHER CLASS
#Override
public void serialEvent(SerialPortEvent spe) {
if (spe.getEventType() == SerialPortEvent.DATA_AVAILABLE) {
try {
byte singleData = (byte) input.read();
logText = new String(new byte[]{singleData});
bytes.add(logText);
if(bytes.size() == 8) {
for (int i = 0; i < bytes.size(); i++) {
inputText += bytes.get(i);
}
if(inputText.length() == 8) {
Platform.runLater(new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
controller.getInputString(inputText);
}
});
}
bytes.clear();
inputText = "";
}
} catch (Exception e) {
logText = "Failed to read data. (" + e.toString() + ")";
controller.getInputString(logText);
}
}
}
GETINPUT METHOD OF THE CONTROLLER CLASS
#Override
public void getInputString(String input) {
firstSerialNumberField.setText(input);
}
When using it this way, my firstSerialNumberField never gets that input.
---EDIT---
SETCONTROLLER METHOD OF THE SERIALPORTLISTENER CLASS
public void setController(SerialController controller) {
this.controller = controller;
}
INITIALIZE SCREEN IN SCREEN HANDLER CLASS
serialCommunication = new SerialCommunication(this);
loader = new FXMLLoader();
loader.setLocation(getClass().getResource(path));
pane = loader.load(getClass().getResource(path).openStream());
serialController = (SerialController) loader.getController();
serialController.setScreenHandler(this);
serialController.setSerialCommunication(serialCommunication);
serialCommunication.setController(serialController);
parent = loader.getRoot();
stage = new Stage();
stage.setScene(new Scene(parent));
stage.setTitle(title);
stage.setResizable(false);
stage.sizeToScene();
stage.centerOnScreen();
stage.initModality(Modality.APPLICATION_MODAL);
stage.showAndWait();
You are passing a reference to inputText to the (inappropriately-named) getInputText() method in the controller. inputText is presumably a field in the class implementing the port listener. However, as soon as you pass it, you then set it back to an empty string:
if(inputText.length() == 8) {
Platform.runLater(new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
controller.getInputString(inputText);
}
});
}
bytes.clear();
inputText = "";
Since inputText is being accessed from multiple threads, there is no guarantee as to which order things will happen: whether controller.getInputText(inputText) will execute first, or whether inputText = ""; will execute first. So you may end up setting the text field to an empty string.
What I think you intend to do is:
if(inputText.length() == 8) {
final String numberFieldText = inputText ;
Platform.runLater(new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
controller.getInputString(numberFieldText);
}
});
}
or more succinctly:
if(inputText.length() == 8) {
final String numberFieldText = inputText ;
Platform.runLater(() -> controller.getInputString(numberFieldText));
}
I've been dabbling in Dlang recently as C++ just wasn't quite sitting right with me after having used Python for so long. While dabbling, I came across what I thought would be a very simple exercise in polymorphism. I suppose how you would expect something to work and what it actually does are two entirely different things for reasons an end user probably can't comprehend. That being said, here is the source code of my "sandbox.D":
import std.stdio;
class Animal {
string voice = "--silence--";
void speak() {
writeln(this.voice);
}
}
class Dog : Animal {
string voice = "Whoof!";
}
int main() {
auto a = new Animal();
auto d = new Dog();
writeln(a.voice); // Prints "--silence--"
writeln(d.voice); // Prints "Whoof!"
a.speak(); // Prints "--silence--"
d.speak(); // Prints "--silence--" NOT "Whoof!"
return 0;
}
I guess my issue is why the "this" keyword just doesn't seem to be functioning how you would expect it to in the C++ successor language.
Methods are polymorphic, variables aren't. So instead of making the voice a variable, you want to override speak in the child.
Also, the auto return type doesn't work with polymorphism, you need to actually specify the types. (The reason is that auto return makes a function template in the compiler, which in theory could have multiple overridable slots in the function table, so it just doesn't try to put it in.)
So try this out:
import std.stdio;
class Animal {
void speak() { // changed to void instead of auto
writeln("--silence--");
}
}
class Dog : Animal {
override void speak() { // the override tells it to override the base method
writeln("woof");
}
}
int main() {
auto d = new Dog();
d.speak();
return 0;
}
If you have a lot of shared functionality and want to reuse one function with slight changes in child classes, you might make a method instead of a variable that just returns something.
Like string voice() { return "woof"; }, then it can be overridden in children.
Another way is to use template this parameter:
import std.stdio;
class Animal {
string voice;
void speak(this C)() {
writeln((cast(C)this).voice);
}
}
class Dog : Animal {
string voice = "Whoof!";
}
int main() {
auto a = new Animal();
auto d = new Dog();
a.speak(); // Prints ""
d.speak(); // Prints "Whoof!"
return 0;
}
Or when you do not need to have voice as a member:
import std.stdio;
class Animal {
static immutable voice = "";
void speak(this C)() {
writeln(C.voice);
}
}
class Dog : Animal {
static immutable voice = "Whoof!";
}
int main() {
auto a = new Animal();
auto d = new Dog();
a.speak(); // Prints ""
d.speak(); // Prints "Whoof!"
return 0;
}
For example if I have 3 classes,
class A {
public void doA() {
/* do something */
}
}
class B {
public void doB() {
A a = new A();
a.doA();
}
}
class MyClass {
public static void main(String args[]) {
B b = new B();
b.doB();
}
}
Now I want to define a point cut for flow doB() -> doA(), like if doB() calls doA() grab parameters from class A and class B and do something in aspect method. Could someone help me out.
Let me slightly extend your sample code in order to make you understand what my solution does and what it cannot do:
class A {
public void doA() {}
}
class B {
public void doB() {
new A().doA();
new C().doC();
}
}
class C {
public void doC() {
new A().doA();
}
}
class MyClass {
public static void main(String args[]) {
new A().doA(); // should not be captured
new B().doB(); // should be captured
}
}
As you can see, there is a new class C now and we have three control flows now:
MyClass.main -> A.doA
MyClass.main -> B.doB -> A.doA
MyClass.main -> B.doB -> C.doC -> A.doA
You want to exclude #1 and capture #2, but what about #3? In this case a.doA is called indirectly from B.doB via C.doC. My solution also captures this indirect case. If this is fine for you or it does not happen in your code base, you can use my solution. Otherwise things would get a little more complicated and you would need to inspect the call stack. Tell me if you need to exclude #2, and I will extend my answer, but the solution will not look as simple as this one, I can promise.
Now here is the aspect:
import org.aspectj.lang.JoinPoint;
import org.aspectj.lang.annotation.Aspect;
import org.aspectj.lang.annotation.Before;
#Aspect
public class ControlFlowInterceptor {
#Before("execution(void A.doA()) && target(a) && cflow(execution(void B.doB()) && target(b))")
public void advice(JoinPoint thisJoinPoint, A a, B b) {
System.out.println(thisJoinPoint);
System.out.println(" " + a);
System.out.println(" " + b);
}
}
The console output looks like this:
execution(void A.doA())
A#7b19f779
B#65c66812
execution(void A.doA())
A#4df2868
B#65c66812
Please note that we have the same B object ID in both outputs, but because C.doC creates an new A object, we have two different A object IDs.
So i have a class that makes an array list for me and i need to access it in another class through a constructor but i don't know what to put into the constructor because all my methods in that class are just for manipulating that list. im either getting a null pointer exception or a out of bounds exception. ive tried just leaving the constructor empty but that dosent seem to help. thanks in advance. i would show you code but my professor is very strict on academic dishonesty so i cant sorry if that makes it hard.
You are confusing the main question, with a potential solution.
Main Question:
I have a class ArrayListOwnerClass with an enclosed arraylist property or field.
How should another class ArrayListFriendClass access that property.
Potential Solution:
Should I pass the arraylist from ArrayListOwnerClass to ArrayListFriendClass,
in the ArrayListFriendClass constructor ?
It depends on what the second class does with the arraylist.
Instead of passing the list thru the constructor, you may add functions to read or change, as public, the elements of the hidden internal arraylist.
Note: You did not specify a programming language. I'll use C#, altought Java, C++, or similar O.O.P. could be used, instead.
public class ArrayListOwnerClass
{
protected int F_Length;
protected ArrayList F_List;
public ArrayListOwnerClass(int ALength)
{
this.F_Length = ALength;
this.F_List = new ArrayList(ALength);
// ...
} // ArrayListOwnerClass(...)
public int Length()
{
return this.F_Length;
} // int Length(...)
public object getAt(int AIndex)
{
return this.F_List[AIndex];
} // object getAt(...)
public void setAt(int AIndex, object AValue)
{
this.F_List[AIndex] = AValue;
} // void setAt(...)
public void DoOtherStuff()
{
// ...
} // void DoOtherStuff(...)
// ...
} // class ArrayListOwnerClass
public class ArrayListFriendClass
{
public void UseArrayList(ArrayListOwnerClass AListOwner)
{
bool CanContinue =
(AListOwner != null) && (AListOwner.Length() > 0);
if (CanContinue)
{
int AItem = AListOwner.getAt(5);
DoSomethingWith(Item);
} // if (CanContinue)
} // void UseArrayList(...)
public void AlsoDoesOtherStuff()
{
// ...
} // void AlsoDoesOtherStuff(...)
// ...
} // class ArrayListFriendClass
Note, that I could use an indexed property.
