c++ - mmap: enforce 64K alignment -


i'm porting project written (by me) windows mobile platforms.

i need equivalent of virtualalloc (+friends), , natural 1 mmap. there 2 significant differences.

  1. addresses returned virtualalloc guaranteed multiples of so-called allocation granularity (dwallocationgranularity). not confused page size, number arbitrary, , on windows system 64k. in contrast address returned mmap guaranteed page-aligned.

  2. the reserved/allocated region may freed @ once call virtualfree, , there's no need pass allocation size (that is, size used in virtualalloc). in contrast munmap should given exact region size unmapped, i.e. frees given number of memory pages without relation how allocated.

this imposes problems me. while live (2), (1) real problem. don't want details, assuming smaller allocation granularity, such 4k, lead serious efficiency degradation. related fact code needs put information @ every granularity boundary within allocated regions, impose "gaps" within contiguous memory region.

i need solve this. can think pretty naive methods of allocating increased regions, can 64k-aligned , still have adequate size. or alternatively reserve huge regions of virtual address space, , allocating properly-aligned memory regions (i.e. implement sort of aligned heap). wonder if there alternatives. such special apis, maybe flags, secret system calls or whatever.

(1) quite easy solve. note, munmap takes size parameter, , because munmap capable of partial deallocation. can allocate chunk of memory bigger need, deallocate parts aren't aligned.

i'm looking dynamically populate select element names of items stored array. for reason it's not working , i'm not sure why. html: <div class="col-md-4 col-md-offset-4"> <select class="select1"> </select> , <select class="select2"> </select> </div> note i'm using bootstrap layout. here's jquery i'm using try , populate ".select1" jquery: select: function() { $.each(state.greens, function(index, value) { $(".select1").append("<option value =' " + index + " '>" + state.greens[index].name + "</option>"); }); } note function 'select' stored within object called 'display'. state.greens name of array i'm trying access. so @ end of html page call display.select(); call function. no error messages showing in console. also, saw question: appending

Android soft keyboard reverts to default keyboard on orientation change -

i'm building android soft keyboard , can't seem fix bug - have arabic , qwerty keyboard , when rotate device on qwerty keyboard (or arabic shift), it's if program has "restarted" , becomes arabic keyboard without shift. the onsaveinstancestate(bundle savedinstancestate) not work because application not extend activity inputmethodservice . i put following in android manifest android:configchanges="keyboard|keyboardhidden|orientation" android:windowsoftinputmode="stateunchanged|adjustresize"> i tried using @override public void onconfigurationchanged(configuration newconfig) { super.onconfigurationchanged(newconfig); log.i(mydebug, "config changed " + currentkeyboard.equals(qwerty)); } however, currentkeyboard.equals(qwerty)) results false , made sure true before orientation change. any appreciated. i think applications fault. if application restarting on orientation change

Rendering JButton to get the JCheckBox behavior in a JTable by using images does not update my table -

i rendering jbutton image on simulate jcheckbox behavior. why don't let jtable render jcheckbox? because need bigger checkboxes , there's no way can resize them (as far know). so, have own table cell renderer , editor. both renders jbutton , checkbox images on them. trying change image checked image unchecked image (or vice versa) , update cell value (boolean true or false). however, reason, getcelleditorvalue() not update table. so, release mouse, value goes original one. any appreciated! lot! public class tableexample extends jframe { jscrollpane pane; jpanel panel; jtable table; object[][] data; mytablemodel tm; renderer buttoncolumn; public tableexample(object[][] data) throws ioexception { string[] columns = {"column#1", "column#2", "column#3", "column#4", "column#5", "column#6"}; this.data = data; this.setpreferredsize(new dimension(700, 500));
