Guile it is. Just so we're clear-- I am assuming you understand why I want to do this, and that you will defend the choice of language against bike-shedders and Socratic bombers.  (Though of course you don't have to defend my actual code.)  If both those assumptions are true then I'll get

Hi Edward, Consider a double pointer like a matrix (in algebra) witch one you don't know its dimension a priori. An example: put the case that we are developing an application witch calculates the inverse of a matrix of dimensions NxM. The values of N and M will be determinated by the user

Hi all, Since yesterday I have been trying to understand why "char** essid_list" is working inside getInstalledEssidList(, essid_list) but failing as soon as I try to access essid_list[0] outside the function. Both the source and the gdb text output are attached. Any helpful pointers are

Perfect - avoids the GLIB dependency, too :) GLIB is a bloated beast anyway, comes with an XML parser, an own threading system, i bet somewhere in there is a fully featured telnet client and a mail program, too. Thank you Rainer for extreme (C) programming. ;-) Regards, T. On 09/11/2015

As suggested by tilt, I switched to use GSList but I need to use it for two distinct cases: a) to manage a list of strings b) to manage a list of structures of this construct: typedef struct { double quality; char name[MAX_ESSID_LENGTH]; } wifi_quality; I expect this to be

No! Only square matrices can have a determinant. I am not Roger Penrose. I am a hooligan of *Richard Feynman* and *Lev Davidovick Landau* (vintage). Yes, i know... There are many hooligans in this forum. There is a special black hole in the heaven for that guys. Aitor. El 11/09/15 a
