objective c - Why compiler doesn't return error on [NSObject init] -


when try compile following code:

int main(int argc, const char * argv[]) {     @autoreleasepool {         [nsobject init];     }     return 0; }

compiler let build , app crashes in runtime following exception:

2017-08-14 14:56:07.937859-0700 nsobjectinit[30512:11241814] *** terminating app due uncaught exception 'nsinvalidargumentexception', reason: '*** +[nsobject<0x7fff9fd83140> init]: cannot init class object.' *** first throw call stack: (     0   corefoundation                      0x00007fff818e32cb __exceptionpreprocess + 171     1   libobjc.a.dylib                     0x00007fff966f348d objc_exception_throw + 48     2   corefoundation                      0x00007fff8196517f +[nsobject(nsobject) init] + 127     3   nsobjectinit                        0x0000000100000f2d main + 61     4   libdyld.dylib                       0x00007fff96fd9235 start + 1     5   ???                                 0x0000000000000001 0x0 + 1 ) libc++abi.dylib: terminating uncaught exception of type nsexception

as understand, there +init method in nsobject class, didn't find in public headers , if private, complier should tell there no such method. ideas why compiler let build code?

classes objects. there implicit "meta-class" each class , class 1 , instance of meta-class. think of "class method on class foo" instance method on class meta-foo.

in further quirk, meta-class of root class of class hierarchy subclass of root class itself. meta-nsobject inherits nsobject. class nsobject instance of itself!

so, instance method of nsobject class method of nsobject. is, can invoked on nsobject class itself. that's why compiler doesn't have problem [nsobject init].

android - InAppBilling registering BroadcastReceiver in AndroidManifest -

i'm implementing inapp billing in android app. works well, however, i'm trying decouple broadcast receiver activity manifest. suggestion in android's trivialdrive sample: // important: dynamically register broadcast messages updated purchases. // register receiver here instead of <receiver> in manifest // because call getpurchases() @ startup, therefore can ignore // broadcasts sent while app isn't running. // note: registering listener in activity bad idea, done here // because sample. regardless, receiver must registered after // iabhelper setup, before first call getpurchases(). currently there's class extends broadcastreceiver : public class iabbroadcastreceiver extends broadcastreceiver { /** * intent action receiver should filter for. */ public static final string action = "com.android.vending.billing.purchases_updated"; private final iabbroadcastlistener mlistener; public iabbroadcastreceiver(iabbroadcastlistener listener) { m...

python Tkinter Capturing keyboard events save as one single string -

is possible store keyboard events 1 string? code below stores 1 char , prints it. card reader or bar code reader, contains collection of character/ string not 1 character @ time. goal save char pressed text variable. from tkinter import * root = tk() def key(event): text= event.char text+= event.char print ("pressed", text) def callback(event): frame.focus_set() print ("clicked at", event.x, event.y) frame = frame(root, width=100, height=100) frame.bind("<key>", key) frame.bind("<button-1>", callback) frame.pack() root.mainloop() currently, creating text variable , everytime key() function gets called, , text stores last character typed. you can define text module level variable , , use module level text inside key function - text = '' def key(event): global text text+= event.char print("pressed", text)

sql server - Why does Linq-to-SQL add unnecessary COUNT()? -

here tables: create table customer ( cid int primary key, name varchar(32) ) create table ord ( oid int primary key, cid int foreign key references customer, address varchar(20) ) here's linq-to-sql statement: var aaa = c in db.customer select new { c, o = c.ord.tolist() }; and here's inexplicable query generated linq-to-sql: select [t0].[cid] [cid], [t0].[name] [name], [t1].[oid] [oid], [t1].[cid] [cid2], [t1].[address] [address], (select count(*) [dbo].[ord] [t2] [t2].[cid] = [t0].[cid]) [value] [dbo].[customer] [t0] left outer join [dbo].[ord] [t1] on [t1].[cid] = [t0].[cid] order [t0].[cid], [t1].[oid] i want understand how rid of count(*) part. it's entirely uncalled for! linq needs count(*) in order determine number of entries returned o = c.ord.tolist() .
