Quick histograms

Posted on June 15, 2012 by Gaius

Having come back to actively working on OCI*ML recently, it’s time I cracked on with some more features (I have been promising LOBs for a long time, sorry to anyone who’s still waiting). Just to get warmed up, inspired by … Continue reading →

Segmentation Faults, TAP and Eclipse

Posted on September 9, 2011 by Gaius

This is quite a neat trick. Consider: Referencing that NULL pointer obviously crashes straight away with a terse segmentation fault: By simply linking it with libSegFault, which seems to be documented only very informally, but comes with glibc: Of course … Continue reading →

One Year On

Posted on September 4, 2011 by Gaius

Re-learning C++ is proving to be something of an exercise in frustration thus far; it seems there is so much you need to know before you can get anything useful done. And choices that need to be made, this library … Continue reading →

Posted on August 22, 2011 by Gaius

In this post I will present a simple PubSub system for OCaml using the Continuous Query feature of Oracle Coherence. The code is all on GitHub. For this example, we will have three subscribers interested in different kinds of messages: … Continue reading →

Posted on August 16, 2011 by Gaius

Well, it looks like I posted the last entry too soon, as I can get close to what I want to do with the PofExtractor available from Coherence 3.5 onwards, without needing to write any Java (ugh!). It is a … Continue reading →

Custom classes in Coherence with OCaml

Posted on August 16, 2011 by Gaius

I have not updated in a little while as I have been busily (re)learning C++ in my already-scarce free time. Seems there is a lot of work around for C++ types, and it’s always good to have options. Anyway, on … Continue reading →

Updated: MapListener example

Posted on August 8, 2011 by Gaius

A slight update to yesterday’s example listener.ml supporting named callback functions: I am not entirely comfortable with this as a problem in the names can’t be detected at compile time – tho’ at runtime there is a check that the … Continue reading →

OCaml binding for Coherence MapListener

Posted on August 6, 2011 by Gaius

In this post I will demonstrate triggering the execution of OCaml code by events within the Coherence grid. The full code is on GitHub, but at the OCaml level it is designed to be very simple†, using the callback mechanism. … Continue reading →

OCaml bindings for Coherence (without SWIG)

Posted on August 5, 2011 by Gaius

I am much happier with my second attempt at an OCaml binding for Oracle Coherence. This way is easier to build, easier to use, and I could reuse all of the C++ code from my first attempt. See the code … Continue reading →

OCaml bindings for Coherence with SWIG

Posted on August 3, 2011 by Gaius

Way back in the day, I did some work programming in C++. But to be honest, I never really learnt C++; I learnt MFC and enough ATL to do COM. And then I decided to focus on Oracle and left … Continue reading →
