Conditional operator successfully compiled in windows but gives error in Linux

Conditional operator successfully compiled in windows but gives error in
Linux

Please help me reason out for the error I am getting with this statement,
in Linux environment.
p_pAphErrorMessage->getSvc()?l_AphUpdateMessage->setSvc(p_pAphErrorMessage->getSvc()):0;
p_pAphErrorMessage->getObj()?l_AphUpdateMessage->setObj(p_pAphErrorMessage->getObj()):0;
This code is successfully compiled in windows but its giving error in
Linux enviroment.
src/aph.cpp:7320: error:
âl_AphUpdateMessage->AphMessage::setSvc(((AphUpdateMessage*)p_pAphErrorMessage)->AphUpdateMessage::<anonymous>.AphFidValuesMessage::<anonymous>.AphMessage::getSvc())â
has type âvoidâ and is not a throw-expression
src/aph.cpp:7321: error:
âl_AphUpdateMessage->AphMessage::setObj(((AphUpdateMessage*)p_pAphErrorMessage)->AphUpdateMessage::<anonymous>.AphFidValuesMessage::<anonymous>.AphMessage::getObj())â
has type âvoidâ and is not a throw-expression
I investigated this a bit and suspect returning 0; could be the reason for
it. Can we use conditional operator in such a way to use it just for if
not for else, eg,
c= a?a:/*DO NOTHING*/;
But, this way I am not getting any success in compilation. Any other
recommended way to achieve it.

Switching workspaces with dual monitors

Switching workspaces with dual monitors

I'm working on Ubuntu 13.04 and have a second monitor connected with a
VGA. I currently have the second monitor as an extended screen. I was
wondering if there was a way that I could set it up so I could put a
window on my second monitor, switch workspaces on my main display and the
second monitor display wouldn't change?
I think it was a thing in the past, but I haven't found a solution. I just
want my second monitor to be consistent while my main workspace remains
dynamic.

Excel VBA: How to obtain a reference to a Shape from the ChartObject

Excel VBA: How to obtain a reference to a Shape from the ChartObject

I am trying to obtain a reference to a Shape in a Worksheet, corresponding
to a ChartObject. I found no certain way of doing this. The only
approximation, by trial-and-error and simply tested in a few cases, is
assuming that the ZOrder of a ChartObject is the same as the
ZOrderPosition of the corresponding Shape:
Function chobj2shape(ByRef cho As ChartObject) As Shape
' It appears that the ZOrder of a ChartObject is the same as the
ZOrderPosition of the corresponding Shape
Dim zo As Long
Dim ws As Worksheet
Dim shc As Shapes
Dim sh As Shape
zo = cho.ZOrder
Set ws = cho.Parent
Set shc = ws.Shapes
Set sh = shc.Item(zo)
Set chobj2shape = sh
'Set sh = Nothing
End Function
(a slight excess of defined variables is used for debugging purposes).
Is there any more certain way of doing this?

yGuard Obfuscate code in case insensitive file system as Windows

yGuard Obfuscate code in case insensitive file system as Windows

I try to obfuscase my JAR file in Windows by yGuard but classes in the
same package are renamed to the same name (ignored case).
Ex.: MyCookieUtils.class => A.class MyFormatterUtils.class => a.class
Windows can recognize only one file with name A.class or a.class in a
folder, the other is overrided. So it cannot run after obfuscation code :(
Anyone can help? Thanks

Slider Puzzle problems

Slider Puzzle problems

This is my slider puzzle game. So far it can only do 3x3 games. When I try
and pass the variables l and w (length and width) of the board it doesn't
work. It only works when i set the variables ROWS and COLS as finals. When
I try and change it I get errors. I'm not sure what to do, any help would
be appreciated.
Currently the user can input values that can't do anything at the moment.
When the game is started, a 3x3 board is generated. The user can restart
the game with a different scrambled board but the buttons that solve the
board and the buttons that reset the board to the original state do not
work yet.

Oracle EXISTS clause Vs ROWNUM = 1

Oracle EXISTS clause Vs ROWNUM = 1

For a long time, I have been using the EXISTS clause to determine if at
least one record exists in a given table for a given condition. for
example - if I wanted to see if an employee by lastname = 'smith' exists
in the "employee" table, I used the following query
select 1 into v_exists_flag from dual where exists ( select 1 from
employee where lastname = 'smith' )
This is definitely more efficient than using the count(*) clause.
select count(*) into v_count from employee where lastname = 'smith'
if v_count > 0 then....
But, recently someone mentioned that using ROWNUM = 1 has better
performance than using the EXISTS clause as shown below
select 1 into v_count from employee where lastname = 'smith' and rownum = 1
Is this correct? Can someone confirm this.
Thanks in advance
