Here’s a small utility function (in C) that I wrote, to dump the memory’s contents at a specified address. It’s nothing big but can be useful when debugging code.

Dumping Memory
Sunday, September 14th, 2008Using the ICU4C Transliterator
Thursday, August 28th, 2008Recently, while developing a small application, I needed to strip all accents from strings, regardless of the strings’ encoding. I found multiple hints on the web, but none that were really useful (such as performing a search-and-replace on all possible accentuated characters), until I found an obscure post somewhere that suggested the use of ICU (International Components for Unicode) to perform this task.
It seemed that the ICU “Transliterator” could do this automatically, with the proper transliteration rule. However, the use of ICU4C is not particularly well documented on the web (at least, not the use of the Transliterator C++ class). After spending a few hours trying to get it to work, it finally worked. So here are my findings.
New Blog
Wednesday, February 20th, 2008Well that’s it pretty much it… I’m starting a new blog.
I’m a student in electrical engineering, with a passion for music, so I try to mix both when I can. I DJ in clubs once in a while (usually house music, although I would much rather be mixing groovy electro or trance music, but these styles of music are unfortunately not very popular here in Montreal), and I try to produce music when I find the time (as of now, trance music only).
This blog will probably talk about lots of different subjects, including music, software development (programming), hardware development (electronics, microcontrollers, DSPs, etc.), a mix of all these, and other subjects as I think of them.
I hope you enjoy it! Don’t hesitate to let me know what you think.
