c - Difference between 2 vs "\2" -

-

while trying implement ike session key generation algorithms came across following code snippets following algorithm implementation algorithm generating session key

skeyid_e = hmac (skeyid, skeyid_a || gxy || cky-i || cky-r || 2)

implementation last concatenation hmac of digit 2

hmac_update(ctx, (unsigned char *) "\2", 1)

here hmac_update api used concatenate buffer hmac before finalizing digest , ctx hmac context "\2" adding digit 2 , 1 size of buffer.

my question difference between , escaped unsigned char * "\2" , char/uint8_t value 2

the difference char numeric value 2 , string "\2" former char , second literal representing character array containing char numeric value 2 , char numeric value 0. in other words:

  • (char)2 single character. type char. value 2.
  • "\2" array of characters. type decays const char*. first entry 2 , second entry 0.

since hmac_update expects second argument pointer bytes use in update, can't provide 2 or (char)2 argument, since doing try convert integer pointer (oops). using "\2" solves problem providing pointer byte in question. this:

const char value = 2; hmac_update(ctx, &value, 1);

c - zlib and gdi32 with OpenSSL? -

this follow question undefined reference rsa_generate_key in openssl? have openssl program generate rsa key, follows : #include <stdio.h> #include <openssl/rsa.h> #include <openssl/pem.h> int main(int argc, char* argv[]) { rsa *r = null; int ret; r = rsa_new(); bignum *bne = null; ret = rsa_generate_key_ex(r, 2048, bne, null); return 0; } when compile gcc -i../include rsatest.c -lcrypto -l. i undefined reference errors functions in libraries gdi32 , zlib. so correct this, have add -lz , -lgdi32, as gcc -i../include/ rsatest.c -lcrypto -lz -lgdi32 -l. my question is, aren't static libcrypto , libssl self sufficient? in why having add libraries make work? there option should have added while compiling library prevent this? i'm using 64 bit windows mingw compiler. made openssl library of msys , make.

when draw attributed string fixed line height text kit, characters aligned bottom of line fragment. while make sense on 1 line characters varying in size, breaks flow of text multiple lines. baselines appear decided largest descender each line. i've found article people behind sketch explaining exact problem in bit more detail , showing solution does, not explaining how achieved this. this want basically: when showing 2 lines large line height, result far ideal: the code i'm using: let smallfont = uifont.systemfont(ofsize: 15) let bigfont = uifont.systemfont(ofsize: 25) let paragraphstyle = nsmutableparagraphstyle() paragraphstyle.minimumlineheight = 22 paragraphstyle.maximumlineheight = 22 var attributes = [ nsfontattributename: smallfont, nsparagraphstyleattributename: paragraphstyle ] let textstorage = nstextstorage() let textcontainer = nstextcontainer(size: cgsize(width: 250, height: 500)) let layoutmanager = nslayoutmanager() textstorage.append(n...
