Abstract Class in C++ / ABC
AllIntro
I was wondering recently if I miss some C++ class because I did not remember the keyword abstract in C++. Like, there was an abstract class, but not the abstract keyword.
The magic is done via virtual function =0 –> the so-called pure virtual function.
Early binding and late binding
Virtual function & Pure Virtual
class AbstractClass { public: virtual void AbstractMemberFunction() = 0; // Pure virtual function makes // this class Abstract class. virtual void NonAbstractMemberFunction1(); // Virtual function. void NonAbstractMemberFunction2(); };
Virtual functions: the correct function will be called, derived or base class.
Pure virtual functions: It must be overridden by the inherent class.

Complexity
AllIntro
I was reading an article from MURRAY GEEL-MANN it was enlighting. The article is small and very interesting, it’s simple. Reading you can see how brilliant is the guy that wrote it, you can see that actually he talks about quarks and gluons the same way I talk about my favorite soccer team, Palmeiras.
Effective complexity and logical deepness
He was describing that actually, some phenomena are not complex but rather have some degrees of logic behind[1]. As a fractal, like the one below, which comes from the Fibonnaci sequence, in fact, Fibonacci word. They describe it with more details on [2]. Btw the link is for Wikiwand – ” Wikipedia fastest reader”.

LUA Programming
AllIntro
Hey boy, just use this Lua script and everything will be ok on your game. It’s all embedded!
Lua
An interesting tutorial about Lua embedded is [1]. So cool to learn about embedding Lua in C and C++. The code below, from the same source, is so simple and prints:
The average is 30 The sum is 150
#include <stdio.h>
#include "lua.h"
#include "lualib.h"
#include "lauxlib.h"
/* the Lua interpreter */
lua_State* L;
/* The function we'll call from the lua script */
static int average(lua_State *L)
{
/* get number of arguments */
int n = lua_gettop(L);
double sum = 0;
int i;
/* loop through each argument */
for (i = 1; i <= n; i++)
{
if (!lua_isnumber(L, i))
{
lua_pushstring(L, "Incorrect argument to 'average'");
lua_error(L);
}
/* total the arguments */
sum += lua_tonumber(L, i);
}
/* push the average */
lua_pushnumber(L, sum / n);
/* push the sum */
lua_pushnumber(L, sum);
/* return the number of results */
return 2;
}
int main ( int argc, char *argv[] )
{
/* initialize Lua */
L = lua_open();
/* load Lua base libraries */
lua_baselibopen(L);
/* register our function */
lua_register(L, "average", average);
/* run the script */
lua_dofile(L, "average.lua");
/* cleanup Lua */
lua_close(L);
return 0;
}

Information is useless without sharing
AllIntro
Listening to Seu Jorge, a Brazilian guy from Rio de Janeiro, I came to this song below. It’s called Ze do Caroco and talks about a guy in 70’s that actually developed a sound system in his Slum, aka favela, to broadcast good things of the people of their people. He used to broadcast exactly during the soap opera, aka novela, since those days these shows only used to portrait bad info about favela’s people. The song also claims there should be another person like this, going against bad reputation/news from the MAIN media groups.
Later Zeh do caroco was denounced by a neighbour since this person couldn’t watch the soap-opera!
Information is useless without sharing
I think one of the main reasons I created this blog was not to share some of the content I’ve been learning those last years in my field. From Performance to Paulo Freire, information is only knowledge when shared.
I would like also to thanks my college and close friend, Gabriel Alabarse, for all his all on our projects. Although since 2015 we don’t live in the same country, Canada vs Germany, we work close to spread this content for all the people.

Extreme flexible word order
AllIntro
The English/pt/francais sentence structure is a bit rigid when you start learning languages with declination, like German, Russian or Arabic. They are extremely flexible, you can pretty much paint with each sentence. But at the same time, it makes the learning process more difficult.
Rules
A simple structure in German can have at least 4 ways to write:
Standard: SUBJ + OBJ + PRED Dir + PRED ind
German way:
SUBJ + VERB+ OBJ + PRED Dir + PRED ind
OBJ + VERB + SUBJ +PRED Dir + PRED ind
PRED Dir+VERB + SUBJ + OBJ + PRED ind
PRED ind + VERB + SUBJ + OBJ + PRED Dir +
regel 1:
If a modal verb is used – for future, past, or obligation – the main verb must be at the end: verbklasser.
regel 2:
if anything other than the subject comes on the first position, the pronoun must be in the third position!
So with those two rules, basic sentences can be built.

TCL Language
AllIntro
Working a bit with TCL now and it’s actually a very interesting language and has a C like similar syntax. But is very powerful and you can define classes.
TCL

FILE "qry=shank_mill_schema;rset=shank_mill_schema;"

UI_NAME "End Mill (non indexable)"

Event Tracing Windows or ETW
AllIntro
I remember when I went to a meeting on Google Montreal about ETW and tracing on Windows. The spearker was
ETW
It is the official tool for kernel tracing in windows platform developed by Microsoft. This allows the user to see call stacks and analysis system calls.
IU for ETW
It is the ETW but with some user interface features to improve ETW.
