Recover from exception and re-execute the code.

 In this post, I am trying to show how can we catch an exception, then correct the cause of the exception and re-execute the code. In Windows, we have something called SEH (Structured Exception Handling) using which we can have a chance to recover from exceptions and re-execute the code which originally raised an exception.

So what I am trying to do here in my sample code is:

1. Accepting two numbers from the user and deliberately taking the denominator as 0;

2. Trying to divide by numerator with zero.

3. Division with zero results as an exception.

4. Catching the exception and asking the user to re-enter the denominator with a non-zero value and then executing the division part of the code again.  Simple! This same thing can be done for other type of exceptions too.

Let's see how it works in the below demo code!

#include <windows.h>
#include <iostream>

class ADemoToRecover {
public:
        int numerator = 0;
        int denominator = 0;
public:
    int recoverFromDivideByZero(DWORD exceptCode);
};
int ADemoToRecover::recoverFromDivideByZero(DWORD exceptCode)
{
    if (exceptCode != EXCEPTION_INT_DIVIDE_BY_ZERO)
        return EXCEPTION_CONTINUE_SEARCH;
    std::cout << "Integer divided by Zero detected" << "\n";
    std::cout << "Please enter a valid number other than zero for division(deniminator)" << "\n";
    std::cin >> denominator;
    return EXCEPTION_CONTINUE_EXECUTION;
}
int main()
{
    // A sample demo to recover division by zero.
    ADemoToRecover a;
    std::cout << "Please enter numerator (number): " << "\n";
    std::cin >> a.numerator;
    std::cout << "Please enter denominator (number): " << "\n";
    std::cin >> a.denominator;
    __try {
        int res = (a.numerator / a.denominator); // Exception will be raised here if denominator = 0
        std::cout << "The result of division: " << res << "\n";
    }
    __except (a.recoverFromDivideByZero(GetExceptionCode())) {
    }
    return 0;
}

The output:

Variadic template class to add numbers recursively during compilation

 The idea of having a class to add numbers (variable parameters) during compilation time recursively. Also wanted to restrict types to a single type while sending parameters to class member function. That said, if we mix int, float and double types to add function shall result in compilation error. How do we achieve this. The below is the code which actually helps to achieve this: <code> #include < fmt/format.h > template < typename T> class MyVarSumClass{     private :         T _sum = 0 ;     public :         template < typename ... TRest>         T add(T num, TRest... nums){             static_assert (std::conjunction<std::is_same<TRest, T>...>{}); /* Assert fails                if types are different */             _sum += num;             return add(nums...); // Next parameter packs gets picked recursively         }         // Base case         T add(T num){             _sum += num;             return _sum;         } }; int main() {     My

A simple approach to generate Fibonacci series via multi-threading

T his is a very simple approach taken to generate the Fibonacci series through multithreading. Here instead of a function, used a function object. The code is very simple and self-explanatory.  #include <iostream> #include <mutex> #include <thread> class Fib { public:     Fib() : _num0(1), _num1(1) {}     unsigned long operator()(); private:     unsigned long _num0, _num1;     std::mutex mu; }; unsigned long Fib::operator()() {     mu.lock(); // critical section, exclusive access to the below code by locking the mutex     unsigned long  temp = _num0;     _num0 = _num1;     _num1 = temp + _num0;     mu.unlock();     return temp; } int main() {     Fib f;          int i = 0;     unsigned long res = 0, res2= 0, res3 = 0;     std::cout << "Fibonacci series: ";     while (i <= 15) {         std::thread t1([&] { res = f(); }); // Capturing result to respective variable via lambda         std::thread t2([&] { res2 = f(); });         std::thread t3(

A concept to a product (Kimidori [ 黄緑]) - Part 2

In the previous part , we have seen KIMIDORI [ 黄緑] detect if a URL is malicious. In this part, we will see the details that KIMIDORI [ 黄緑] fetches out of the URL provided. As an example, provided a safe URL, https://www.azuresys.com/, and let's see what it brings out: As we can see, the link is safe and the link is active, which means we can just click on the link to open it on IE.  Now it's time to look into the URL report (still under development):  We have URLs IP, Location, and HTTP Status code. The Report part is a sliding window, the Show Report button shows as well as hides the report. Show / Hide Report is a toggle button. Let's see if we get the same details for any bad (phishing / malicious) URL: Took an URL example from a phishing link and tested it. The tool detected it as not a good link (Screen Shot Below) & link does not activate unlike a safe URL: Now let's see the report part for more details including domain registration details: It looks like it&
