binding c++ class members as c signal handlers

#include <signal.h>
#include <functional>

std::function<void(int)> callback_wrapper;
void callback_function(int value)
{
  callback_wrapper(value);
}

class Foo {
public:
  void catch_signal(int) {}
};

int main(int argc, char** argv)
{
    Foo foo;

    // deprecated since C++-11
    callback_wrapper = std::bind1st(std::mem_fun(&Foo::catch_signal),
                                    &foo);
    // or
    callback_wrapper = std::bind(&Foo::catch_signal,
                                 &foo,
                                 std::placeholders::_1);

    struct sigaction sigIntHandler;
    sigIntHandler.sa_handler = callback_function;
    sigemptyset(&sigIntHandler.sa_mask);
    sigIntHandler.sa_flags = 0;
    sigaction(SIGTERM, &sigIntHandler, NULL);

c, c++ measure elapsed time

Elapsed time of function, for performance measurement

C style

#include <sys/time.h>

struct timeval begin_v, end_v;
gettimeofday(&begin_v, NULL);
// the function
gettimeofday(&end_v, NULL);

const double s = end_v.tv_sec + end_v.tv_usec / 1e6 - begin_v.tv_sec - begin_v.tv_usec / 1e6;
printf ("Elasped time: %f s\n", s );

C++ style

#include <chrono>

std::chrono::time_point<std::chrono::steady_clock> start, end;
start = std::chrono::steady_clock::now();
// the function
end = std::chrono::steady_clock::now();
std::chrono::duration<double> elapsed_seconds = end-start;

std::cout << "Elapsed time: " << elapsed_seconds.count() << " s" << std::endl;

edit: instead of user-adjustable system_clock, the monotonic steady_clock can be a better choice.

Stringizing Operator, Token concatenation

After many years, even C shows new stuff:

Stringizing Operator

#define QUOTEME(x) #x

According to wiki:

Although macro expansion does not occur within a quoted string, the text of the macro arguments can be quoted and treated as a string literal by using the "#" directive (also known as the "Stringizing Operator").

the code

printf("%s\n", QUOTEME(1+2));

will expand to

printf("%s\n", "1+2");

Token concatenation

Token concatenation, also called token pasting, is one of the most subtle — and easy to abuse — features of the C macro preprocessor. Two arguments can be 'glued' together using ## preprocessor operator; this allows two tokens to be concatenated in the preprocessed code. This can be used to construct elaborate macros which act like a crude version of C++ templates.

For instance:

#define MYCASE(item,id) \
case id: \
  item##_##id = id;\
break

the code

MYCASE(widget,23);

will expand to

widget_23 = 23;

create signature (of hash) with openssl c api

This is just too long...

You can find another version where all return value is checked here

EDIT: There is another solution, with SHA256_x to create digest and RSA_sign to sign here

/*  gcc ./openssl_sign.c -lssl */

#include s<tdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <error.h>

#include <openssl/rsa.h>
#include <openssl/pem.h>
#include <openssl/err.h>
#include <openssl/ssl.h>
#include o<penssl/evp.h>

int pass_cb( char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *u )
{
  int len;
  char tmp[1024];
  printf( "Enter pass phrase for '%s': ", (char*)u );
  scanf( "%s", tmp );
  len = strlen( tmp );

  if ( len <= 0 ) return 0;
  if ( len > size ) len = size;

  memset( buf, '\0', size );
  memcpy( buf, tmp, len );
  return len;
}

RSA* getRsaFp( const char* rsaprivKeyPath )
{
  FILE* fp;
  fp = fopen( rsaprivKeyPath, "r" );
  if ( fp == 0 ) {
    fprintf( stderr, "Couldn't open RSA priv key: '%s'. %s\n",
             rsaprivKeyPath, strerror(errno) );
    exit(1);
  }

  RSA *rsa = 0;
  rsa = RSA_new();
  rsa = PEM_read_RSAPrivateKey(fp, 0, pass_cb, (char*)rsaprivKeyPath);
  fclose( fp );
  return rsa;
}


int main( int argc, char* argv[] )
{
  if ( argc != 2 ) {
    fprintf( stderr, "Usage: %s <text to sign>\n", argv[0] );
    exit( 1 );
  }
  const char *clearText = argv[1];

  char rsaprivKeyPath[1024];
  sprintf( rsaprivKeyPath, "%s/.ssh/id_rsa",  getenv ("HOME") );

  SSL_load_error_strings();

  OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms();
  OpenSSL_add_all_ciphers();
  OpenSSL_add_all_digests();


  EVP_PKEY *evpKey = 0;
  evpKey = EVP_PKEY_new();

  RSA *rsa = 0;
  rsa = getRsaFp( rsaprivKeyPath );

  EVP_PKEY_set1_RSA( evpKey, rsa );

  EVP_MD_CTX* ctx = 0;
  ctx = EVP_MD_CTX_create();
  EVP_SignInit_ex( ctx, EVP_sha1(), 0 );
  EVP_SignUpdate( ctx, clearText, strlen( clearText ) );

  const int MAX_LEN = 1024;
  unsigned char sig[MAX_LEN];
  unsigned int sigLen;
  memset(sig, 0, MAX_LEN);

  EVP_SignFinal( ctx, sig, &sigLen, evpKey );

  printf( "Got signature: '%s'\n", sig );

  EVP_MD_CTX_destroy( ctx );
  RSA_free( rsa );
  EVP_PKEY_free( evpKey );
  ERR_free_strings();
  return 0;
}
