SOQ - Stack Overflow Questions

A repository of material related to Stack Overflow questions and answers, primarily those where Jonathan Leffler has contributed. This is by no means a complete list of the questions or answers contributed; these are just the more interesting ones where some part of the contribution was placed under version control.

Note that some questions have been deleted and therefore users with less than 10K of Stack Overflow reputation will not be able to see the referenced question.

As of 2016-08-20, the repository is mostly stable. Most of the material is present with a separate source directory for each question, such as src/so-3567-8399. There are some exceptions to this in the src directory, with composite directories containing code related to multiple SO questions, or no SO question at all.

For the time being, the directory name for an answer to SO question number abcdwxyz is saved in src/so-abcd-wxyz (e.g. the code for SO 3333-8314 is in the directory src/so-3333-8314). Note that SO does not recognize the punctuation in the number. Also note that if you don't know the question number, finding the relevant material can be hard. There are some directories in src that group others (matrices, miscellany, posix-regex, primes, python, tries). These are neither comprehensive (there could easily be other questions that refer to the same topic) nor complete (there are many other topics covered by several answers that could be grouped together).

The inc top-level directory is the directory where common headers are installed (but the source for them is in src/libsoq and src/libcs50 or other locations as appropriate). Similarly, the lib top-level directory contains the installed libraries of common code (but the source for it is in src/libsoq and src/libcs50). The headers and libraries are installed by running make install in the relevant source directories.

The etc directory contains miscellaneous files, such as the common makefile control information and also valgrind suppressions file for Mac OS X 10.11.6 (and 4 and 5) and for macOS Sierra 10.12.5.
