How do I pass a function with variable as an argument

Summary The problem lies in passing a variable as an argument to a comparison function used in the std::sort algorithm. The goal is to dynamically choose the sorting criteria based on the value of a selector variable. The current implementation of the comparison function, compare_func, takes three arguments (two demo_struct objects and an int selector), … Read more

How do I open a 32-bit DLL containing SDK files using 64-bit Go?

32-Bit DLL Compatibility Failure in 64-Bit Go Service Summary A critical service liturgy was halted during deployment due to recursive failures when attempting to load a legacy 32-bit C SDK DLL from a 64-bit Go application. The fundamental incompatibility between the process architectures caused immediate runtime crashes. Root Cause Binary architecture mismatch: 64-bit processes cannot … Read more

Authentication middleware vs explicit headers in analyzer-generated controllers – best practice?

Summary An API leveraging auto-generated controllers implemented session management incorrectly, causing inconsistent authentication handling due to fragmented responsibilities. Two competing architectures were debated: middleware-based centralization versus explicit header processing per controller. Without clear ownership, both approaches introduced coupling trade-offs that compromised documentation and traceability. Root Cause Conflicting design strategies created ambiguity: Middleware centralized session logic … Read more

How to emit Socket.IO events from a BullMQ worker running in a separate process?

Summary A Node.js backend using BullMQ for background jobs and Socket.IO for real-time updates faced a common architectural challenge: emitting Socket.IO events from a separate BullMQ worker process after job completion. The root issue was the forced separation of concerns between the Socket.IO server (bound to HTTP connections) and the BullMQ worker (isolated process lacking … Read more

Can the same object be “rvalue-used” twice consecutively?

Summary The question revolves around whether an object can be rvalue-used twice consecutively without compromising its state or the safety of the program. Specifically, it focuses on the use of std::get with an rvalue reference to the same tuple in a context involving perfect forwarding. The general perception is that once an object is moved-from, … Read more
