difference between Casting and Parsing

Casting is changing the type of the variable.

Parsing is 'examining' the string and assigning its logical value to some variable.

What is the difference bewtween x.ToString() and (String) x?

x.ToString() will try to call ToString() on the object x.

(String) x will try to cast x to string, and will fail if x isn't string.

[C/C++] #error用途

強制compiler停止或中斷compile執行, 顯示錯誤訊息
When the preprocessor hits the #error directive, it will report the string as an error message and halt compilation; what exactly the error message looks like depends on the compiler.

The #error macro allows you to make compilation fail and issue a statement that will appear in the list of compilation errors. It is most useful when combined with #if/#elif/#else to fail compilation if some condition is not true.

ex:

#if defined(BUILD_TYPE_NORMAL)
# define DEBUG(x) do {;} while (0) /* paranoid-style null code */
#elif defined(BUILD_TYPE_DEBUG)
# define DEBUG(x) _debug_trace x /* e.g. DEBUG((_debug_trace args)) */
#else
# error "Please specify build type in the Makefile"
#endif


#if defined(BUILD_TYPE_NORMAL)
# define DEBUG(x) do {;} while (0) /* paranoid-style null code */
#elif defined(BUILD_TYPE_DEBUG)
# define DEBUG(x) _debug_trace x /* e.g. DEBUG((_debug_trace args)) */
#else
# error "Please specify build type in the Makefile"
#endif
