I haven't tried it on anything but rather small projects in C: 10-15 source files/modules, but I prefer vim and ycm to XCode for coding. As a matter of fact, all other code completion thingy's I use seem a bit crappy in compa

I don't code a line of C++ if I don't have to. Apple uses C++ in their kernel in a nice way, they don't use virtual methods and templates. I agree totally that C++ looks good and all, and that there might be bright sides to it. But to me, i

I believe I have set HISTFILESIZE TO 2000 or something, I still need to compact it, and have commands like ls pruned by HISTIGNORE. I use the awkscript below to compact it: # histsort.awk --- compact a shell history file # Thanks to By

"You call BSD a kernel, it technically is a set of APIs" If you read that in context of the Mac Os X operating system, then it would be true, as there is a BSD "layer" or "part" in the XNU kernel. So if it had been written in that aspect/co

I think the pipe was the issue. Nice to know that bash doesn't fork loops that are being used with redirection, and not piping!

I thought every shell that is sh compatible would fork a while, and a for loop, as a matter of fact any loop into a sepearate process. This comment however reminds me of some behaviour of bash 2.03 or earlier, where this behaviour was flawe

Hello. All I see that is that it is a survey, I wonder what kind of tests that are used to draw the conclusions. I also see for instances that the regexp.h file is absent for OS X Lion, which is reworked to work wide wide characters. But, t

Hello. This is really nice, I just have one question, ( maybe I have overlooked it), where is the test-suite for gathering the data?´, as to which headerfiles are workable or not? Is there a configure script there? I mean, I am on Snow Leop

I am glad we all aren't experts like you then, some of the stuff I knew from before, some were really relieving. So I am glad it was posted, it helped, me, and this comment page was also, something to both smile/laugh and learn something fr

This was a nice very timely page sitting with my private repo in mercurial, and the other one at github… I discovered help <builtin> some months ago, and that was a great boon really. Like help "test" so I didn't have to go the rath

I just want to add, that once you want packages and such, for a tool chain, you'll at least discover some problems, as there is a package anarchy out there compared to GNU/Linux! But http://macports.org has a solid repository of packages

I am slorry for the lowercased "x", a typo. This software should however work on Mac Os X from 10.5 onwards as it will then use the ICU libraries that shipped with Mac Os X from that version. Ncurses 5.9 you'll have to get from http://macp
