| Date: 05/28 | Title: Neat compiler trick |
Here's a small trick to make it easier to define tokens and their corresponding
strings. See Steve Oualline, Practical C++ Programming, O'Reilly and Associates, Inc., 1995. pp460-461.
//----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Using the define trick to generate tokens and their strings
//----------------------------------------------------------------------------
#define _TOK T(_tik),T(_tak),T(_tok),T(_toe)
#define T(X) X
enum TOKTYPE { _TOK };
#undef T
#define T(X) #X
char TOKSTR[4][20]={ _TOK };
// The above is equivalent to
enum TOKTYPE { _tik, _tak, _tok, _toe };
char TOKSTR[4][20]={"_tik", "_tak", "_tok", "_toe" };

| Date: 05/28 | Title: Random Tips |
Here are some random tips to keep you sane during this semester:
1. Start small.
- Do not type up a huge draft code and hope it to compile.
- Instead, write small portions at a time, compile, debug,
and move on to the next part.
- It's okay to write dummy routines that does nothing, if
you want to see the overall structure.
2. Commenting.
- Sometimes it helps to write section headings within
a function, especially long ones.
//-----
// 1. Compute initial guess
//-----
CODE
//-----
// 2. Main loop: iteratively improve solution
//-----
CODE
- Don't go overboard on this though (that is, don't make it
into subsections, subsubsections, etc.).
3. Divide-and-conquering the DB parser
- The parser can be divided up into different parts so that
all team members can work on it simultaneously.
- For example, (1) main query, (2) commands, and (3) conditions.
4. Team issues
- If you have any issues with your team, let the instructor know
as soon as possible. Don't wait until the deadline to report this.
- How do you know if you have an issue?
- team member not showing up for team meetings.
- team member not responding to emails.
