One of my interests is in the seeking and acquiring of old aircraft technical literature such that I can transport my imagination back to the dawn of manned flight. One of the most interesting figures of the time must have been the wealthy gentleman experimenter and flier Santos- Dumont. He was allready a famous aviator and designer with his lighter than air craft before anyone heard of the Wright Brothers. Many of his countrymen claim with some justification that his work in many cases predated that of the Wright brothers. Of special interest to us in the aircraft home building community is the fact that he was probably the first person to offer plans for building your own airplane. One of the places where these plans were offered was in a 1910 issue of Popular Mechanics.
This is a document that I have transcribed from a chapter in an obscure antique book in my collection that is a contemporary description of the use of these plans to build your own aircraft. Santos-Dumont was a man of small stature, and this is reflected in the size of this plane. It is interesting to note that in the filming of "Those Magnificent Men and Their Flying Machines" a replica was built powered by a Volkswagen engine, and the flight scenes required the skills of a young lady pilot of less than 100 pounds. This was partially due to the fact that although the VW provided more power than many of the engines of Santos-Dumont’s time, the small propeller associated with direct drive was deficient in low speed thrust, a factor that was soon appreciated in the development of the current Ultra-light aircraft. - Vance Jaqua

CHAPTER IX - FLYING MACHINES : HOW TO BUILD
Santos-Dumont’s gift – La Demoiselle – Mechanical skill required – Preparatory practice – General dimensions – The frame – The motor – The main planes – The rudder-tail – The propeller – Shaping the blades – Maxim’s experience – The running gear – The controls – Scrupulous workmanship.
When Santos-Dumont in 1909 gave to the world the unrestricted privilege of building monoplanes after the plans of his famous No, 20 – afterward named La-Demoiselle – he gave not only the best he knew, but as much as anyone knows about the building of flying machines. Santos-Dumont has chosen the monoplane for himself because his long experience commends it above all others, and La-Demoiselle was the crowning achievement of years spent in the construction and operation of airships of all types. In view of Santos=Dumont’s notable successes in his chosen field of activity, no one can go astray following his advice.
Of course, the possibilities of plans and specifications for an aeroplane does not make any man a skilled mechanic. It is well to understand at the start that a certain degree of mechanical ability is required in building a machine which will be entirely safe. Nor does the possession of a successful machine make one an aeronaut. As in the case of bicycling there is no substitute for actual experience, while in the airship the art of balancing is of even greater importance than on the bicycle.
The would-be aviator is therefore advised to put himself through a course of training of mind and body.
Intelligent experimenting with some of the models described in Chapter XI, will teach much of the action of aeroplanes in calms and when wind are blowing; and practice with the glider (see Chapter XII).) will give experience in balancing which will be of greatest value when one launches into the air for the first time with a power driven machine. An expert acquaintance with gasoline motors and magnetos is a prime necessity. In short, every bit of information on the subject of flying machines and their operation cannot fail to be useful in some degree.
The dimensions of the various parts of the Santos-Dumont monoplane are given on the original plans according to the metric system. In reducing these to "long measure" inches, all measurements have been given to the nearest eighth of an inch.
In general,, we may note some peculiarities of La-Demoiselle, the spread of the plane is 18 feet from tip to tip, and it is 20 feet overall from bow to stern. In height, it is about 4 feet 2 inches when the propeller blades are in a horizontal position. The total weight of the machine is 265 lbs., of which the engine weighs about 66 lbs. The area of the plane is 115 square feet, so that the total weight supported by each square foot with Santos-Dumont (weighing 110 lbs.) on board is a trifle over 3 lbs.
The frame of the body of the monoplane is largely of bamboo, the three main poles being 2 inches in diameter at the front, and tapering to about 1 inch at the rear. They are joined with brass sockets just back of the plane, for convenience of taking apart for transportation. Two of these poles extend from the axle of the wheels backward and slightly upward to the rudder-post, The third extends from the middle of the plane between the wings, backward and forward of the rudder post. In cross section the three form a triangle with the apex at the top. These bamboo poles are braced about every 2 feet with struts of steel tubing of oval section, and the panels so formed are tied by diagonals of piano wire fitted with turn-buckles to draw them taut.
In the Santos-Dumont machine a 2 cylinder opposed Darracq motor of 30 horse-power was used. It is of the water-cooled type, the cooling radiator being a gridiron of very thin 1/8 inch copper tubing, and hung on the side of the plane on either side of the engine. The cylinders have a bore of about 4 ½ inches , and a stroke of about 4 ¾ inches. The propeller is 2-bladed, 6 ½ feet across, and is run at 1,499 revolutions per minute, at which speed it exerts a pull of 242 lbs.
Each wing of the main plane is built upon 3 transverse spars extending outward from the upper bamboo pole, starting at a slight angle upward and bending downward nearly to the horizontal as they approach the outer extremities. These spars are of ash, 2 inches wide, and tapering in thickness from 1 ½ inches at he central bamboo to about 7/8 inch at the tips of the wings. They are bent into shape by immersion in hot water, and straining them around blocks nailed to the floor of the workshop, in the form shown at QQ, p. 177.
The front spar is set about 9 inches back from the front edge of the plane, and the rear one about 12 inches forward of the back edge of the plane. Across these spars, and beneath them, running fore and aft, are bamboo rods about ¾ of an inch in diameter at the forward end, and tapering toward the rear. They are set 8 ½ inches apart (centre to centre) except at the tips of the wings. Two outer panels are 10 ¼ inches from centre to centre of the rods, to give greater elasticity in warping. These fore-and –aft rods are 6 feet 5 inches long, except directly back of the propeller, where they are 5 feet 8 inches long; They are bound to the spars with brass wire No, 25, at the intersections. They are also bent to a curved form, as shown on the plans, by the aid of the hot-water bath. Diagonal guys of piano wire use to truss the frame in two panels in each wing.
Around the outer free ends of the rods runs a piano wire No, 20, which is let into the tips of the rods in a slot 3/8 inch deep. To prevent splitting of the bamboo, a turn or two of the brass wire may be made around the rod just back of the slot; but it is much better to provide thin brass caps for the ends of the rods, and cut the slots in the metal as well as in the rods. Instead of caps, ferrules will do. When the slots are cut, let the tongue formed by cutting be bent down across the bamboo to form the floor of the slot, upon which the piano wire may rest. The difference in weight and cost is very little, and the damage that may result from a split rod may be serious.
After the frame of the plane is completed it is to be covered with cloth on both sides, so as entirely to enclose the frame, except only the tips of the rods, as shown on the plans. In the Santos-Dumont monoplane the cloth used id of closely woven silk, but a strong, unbleached muslin will do – the kind made especially for aeroplanes is best.
Both the upper and lower surfaces must be stretched taut, the edges front and back being turned over the piano wire, and the wire hemmed in. The upper and lower surfaces are the sewn together – "through and through," as a seamstress would say – along both sides of each rod, so that the rods are practically in "pockets. " Nothing is to be slighted, if safety in flying is to be assured.
The tail of the monoplane is a rigid combination of two planes intersecting each other at right angles along a central bamboo pole which extends back 3 feet 5 ½ inches from the rudder post, to which it is attached by a double joint, permitting it to move upon either the vertical or horizontal axis.
Although this tail, or rudder, may seem at first glance somewhat complicated in the plans, it will not be found so if the frame of the upright or vertical plane be first constructed, and that of the level or horizontal plane afterward built fast to it at right angles.
As with the main plane, the tail is to be covered on both sides with cloth, the vertical part first; the horizontal halves on either side so covered that the cloth of the latter may be sewed above and below the central pole. All of the ribs in the tail are to be stitched in with "pockets" as directed for the rods of the main plane. The construction of the motor is possible to an expert machinist only, and the aeroplane builder will save time and money by buying his engine from a reliable maker. It is not necessary to send to France for a Darracq motor. Any good gasoline engine of equal power, and about the same weight will serve the purpose.
The making of the propeller is practical for a careful workman. The illustrations will give a better idea than words of how it should be done. It should be remembered, however that the safety of the aviator depends as much upon the propeller as upon any other part of the machine. The splitting of blades when in motion has been the cause of serious accidents. The utmost care, therefore, should be exercised in the selection of the wood, and the gluing of the several sections into one solid mass, allowing the work to dry thoroughly under heavy pressure.
The forming of the blades requires a good deal of skill, and some careful preliminary study. It is apparent that the speed of a point at the tip of a revolving blade is much greater than that of a point near the hub, for it traverses a larger circle in the same period of time. But if the propeller is to do effective work without unequal strain, the twist in the blade must be such that each point in the length of the blade is exerting an equal pull on the air. It is necessary, therefore, that the slower moving part of the blade, near the hub, or axis, shall cut "deeper" into the air than the more swiftly moving tip of the blade. Consequently the blade becomes continually "flatter" (approaching the plane in which it revolves) as we work from the hub outward toward the tip. This "flattening" is well shown in the nearly finished blade clamped to the bench at the right of the illustration – which shows a four-bladed propeller, instead of the two-bladed type needed for the monoplane.
The propeller used for propulsion in air differs from the propeller-wheel used for ships in the water, in that the blades are curved laterally; the forward face of the blade being convex, and the rearward face concave. The object of this shaping is the same as for curving the surface of the plane – to secure smoother entry into the air forward, and a compression in the rear which adds to the holding power on the substance of the air. It is extremely difficult to describe this complex shape, and the amateur builder of a propeller would do well to inspect one made by a professional, or buy it ready made with his engine.
The following quotation from Sir Hiram Maxim’s account of his most effective propeller may aid the ambitious areoplane builder: "My large screws were made with a great degree of accuracy; they were perfectly smooth and even on both sides, the blades being thin and held in position by a strip of rigid wooden the back of the blades . . . . Like the small screws, they were made of the very best kind of seasoned American white pine, and when finished were varnished on both sides with hot glue. When this was thoroughly dry, they were sand-papered again, and made perfectly smooth and even. The blades were then covered with strong Irish linen fabric of the smoothest and best make. Glue was used for attaching the fabric, and when dry another coat of glue was applied, the surface rubbed down again, and then painted with zinc white in the ordinary way and varnished. These screws worked exceedingly well."
The covering of the blades with linen glued fast commends itself to the careful workman as affording precaution against the splintering of the blades when in rapid motion. Some propellers have their wooden blades encased with this sheet aluminum to accomplish the same purpose, but for the amateur builder linen is far easier to apply.
The wheels are of the bicycle type, with wire spokes, but with hubs six inches long. The axle is bent to incline upward at the ends, so the wheels incline outward at the ground, the better to take the shock of a sideways thrust when landing. The usual metal or wood rim may be used, but special tires of exceptionally light construction, made for aeroplanes should be purchased.
The controlling wires or cords for moving the rudder (or tail) and for warping the tips of the wings are of flexible wire cable, such as is made for use as steering ropes on small boats. The cable controlling the horizontal plane of the rudder-tail is fastened to a lever at the right hand of the operator. The cable governing the vertical plane of the rudder-tail is attached to a wheel at the left hand of the operator. The cables which warp the tips of the wings are fastened to a lever which projects upward just back of the operator’s seat, and which is slipped into a long pocket sewed to the back of his coat, so that swaying his body in response to the fling of the tipping machine tends to restore it to an even keel. Springs are attached to all of these controlling wires, strong enough to bring them back to a normal position when the operator removes his hands from the steering apparatus.
The brass sockets used in connecting the tubular struts to the main bamboos and the rudder post, and in fastening the axle of the wheels to the lower bamboos and elsewhere, should be thoroughly made and brazed by a good mechanic, for no one should risk the chance of a faulty joint at a critical spot, when an accident may mean the loss of life.
For the rest, it has seemed better to put the details of construction on the plans themselves, where they will be available to the aeroplane builder without continually consulting the text,
Some of the work on an aeroplane will be found simple and easy; some of it, difficult and requiring much patience; and some impracticable to any one but a trained mechanic. But in all of it, the worker’s motto should be, "Fidelity in every detail."

What is a grid?
A grid is an intersecting set of horizontal and vertical lines – one set defining columns, and the other, rows. Elements can be placed onto the grid, within these column and row lines. CSS grid layout has the following features:
Fixed and flexible track sizes
You can create a grid with fixed track sizes – using pixels for example. This sets the grid to the specified pixel which fits to the layout you desire. You can also create a grid using flexible sizes with percentages or with the new fr unit designed for this purpose.
You can place items into a precise location on the grid using line numbers, names or by targeting an area of the grid. Grid also contains an algorithm to control the placement of items not given an explicit position on the grid.
Creation of additional tracks to hold content
You can define an explicit grid with grid layout. The Grid Layout specification is flexible enough to add additional rows and columns when needed. Features such as adding “as many columns that will fit into a container” are included.
Grid contains alignment features so we can control how the items align once placed into a grid area, and how the entire grid is aligned.
Control of overlapping content
More than one item can be placed into a grid cell or area and, they can partially overlap each other. This layering may then be controlled with the z-index property.
Grid is a powerful specification that, when combined with other parts of CSS such as flexbox, can help you create layouts that were previously impossible to build in CSS. It all starts by creating a grid in your grid container.
A grid cell is the smallest unit on a grid. Conceptually it is like a table cell. As we saw in our earlier examples, once a grid is defined as a parent the child items will lay themselves out in one cell each of the defined grid. In the below image, I have highlighted the first cell of the grid.
Items can span one or more cells both by row or by column, and this creates a grid area. Grid areas must be rectangular – it isn’t possible to create an L-shaped area for example.
The Grid container
We create a grid container by declaring display: grid or display: inline-grid on an element. As soon as we do this, all direct children of that element become grid items.
In this example, I have a containing div with a class of wrapper and, inside are five child elements.
The fr Unit
Tracks can be defined using any length unit. Grid also introduces an additional length unit to help us create flexible grid tracks. The new fr unit represents a fraction of the available space in the grid container. The next grid definition would create three equal width tracks that grow and shrink according to the available space.
grid-template-columns: 1fr 1fr 1fr;
grid-template-columns: 2fr 1fr 1fr;
grid-template-columns: 500px 1fr 2fr;
grid-template-columns: 1fr 1fr 1fr;
grid-template-columns: repeat(3, 1fr);
Repeat notation can be used for a part of the track listing. In this next example I have created a grid with an initial 80-pixel track, then a repeating section of 6 1fr tracks then a final 80-pixel track.
grid-template-columns: 80px repeat(6, 1fr) 80px;
One
Two
Three
Four
Five
Six
Seven
Eight
Repeat notation takes the track listing, and uses it to create a repeating pattern of tracks. In this next example, my grid will consist of 10 tracks, a 1fr track, and then followed by a 2fr track. This pattern will be repeated five times.
grid-template-columns: repeat(5, 1fr 2fr);
One
Two
Three
Four
Five
Six
Seven
Eight
Nine
Ten
The implicit and explicit grid
When creating our example grid we specifically defined our column tracks with the grid-template-columns property, but the grid also created rows on its own. These rows are part of the implicit grid. Whereas the explicit grid consists of any rows and columns defined with grid-template-columns or grid-template-rows.
If you place something outside of the defined grid—or due to the amount of content, more grid tracks are needed—then the grid creates rows and columns in the implicit grid. These tracks will be auto-sized by default, resulting in their size being based on the content that is inside them.
You can also define a set size for tracks created in the implicit grid with the grid-auto-rows and grid-auto-columns properties.
In the below example we use grid-auto-rows to ensure that tracks created in the implicit grid are 200 pixels tall.
Track sizing and minmax()
When setting up an explicit grid or defining the sizing for automatically created rows or columns we may want to give tracks a minimum size, but also ensure they expand to fit any content that is added. For example, I may want my rows to never collapse smaller than 100 pixels, but if my content stretches to 300 pixels in height, then I would like the row to stretch to that height.
Grid has a solution for this with the minmax() function. In this next example I am using minmax() in the value of grid-auto-rows. This means automatically created rows will be a minimum of 100 pixels tall, and a maximum of auto. Using auto means that the size will look at the content size and will stretch to give space for the tallest item in a cell, in this row.
One
Two
I have some more content in.
This makes me taller than 100 pixels.
Three
Four
Five
It should be noted that when we define a grid we define the grid tracks, not the lines. Grid then gives us numbered lines to use when positioning items. In our three column, two row grid we have four column lines.s
Lines are numbered according to the writing mode of the document. In a left-to-right language, line 1 is on the left-hand side of the grid. In a right-to-left language, it is on the right-hand side of the grid. Lines can also be named, and we will look at how to do this in a later guide in this series.
Positioning items against lines
We will be exploring line based placement in full detail in a later article. The following example demonstrates doing this in a simple way. When placing an item, we target the line – rather than the track.
In the following example I am placing the first two items on our three column track grid, using the grid-column-start, grid-column-end, grid-row-start and grid-row-end properties. Working from left to right, the first item is placed against column line 1, and spans to column line 4, which in our case is the far-right line on the grid. It begins at row line 1 and ends at row line 3, therefore spanning two row tracks.
The second item starts on grid column line 1, and spans one track. This is the default so I do not need to specify the end line. It also spans two row tracks from row line 3 to row line 5. The other items will place themselves into empty spaces on the grid.
A grid item can become a grid container. In the following example, I have the three-column grid that I created earlier, with our two positioned items. In this case the first item has some sub-items. As these items are not direct children of the grid they do not participate in grid layout and so display in a normal document flow.
If I set box1 to display: grid I can give it a track definition and it too will become a grid. The items then lay out on this new grid.
In this case the nested grid has no relationship to the parent. As you can see in the example it has not inherited the grid-gap of the parent and the lines in the nested grid do not align to the lines in the parent grid.
The item box2 is now overlapping box1, it displays on top as it comes later in the source order.
Controlling the order
We can control the order in which items stack up by using the z-index property - just like positioned items. If we give box2 a lower z-index than box1 it will display below box1 in the stack.

Money Play. Should Red double? If doubled, should White take?
pips Red=149 White=146
(CorrectAnswer= 0/0, ErrorScore= 0)
White has a solid position and only a hit followed by a fan will lose the market for Red. This doesn’t happen often enough to make this a double so Red should hold the cube.
Only against an opponent that you know might pass this double should you venture to turn the cube here. If there is a 10% chance that White might drop the double then doubling becomes ‘correct’.
Note: The opriginal position was given as match play without a score. It should have been 'money 'play'. Apologies for the error.

Going the Extra Mile (More than 200 Extra Miles, Actually ....)
Check out Ryan Caloras, one of the Gilt Personalization Team’s dedicated software engineers (and a former Boston resident), manning our swag station at last week’s Boston Area Scala Enthusiasts meetup! Ryan’s team mate, Lead Software Engineer (and fellow ex-Bostonian) Yoni Goldberg, was the night’s featured speaker, and educated the crowd of 80-100 attendees about Gilt’s shift from a monolithic Rails app to a distributed micro-services architecture written in Scala. By the end of the night, almost all of our swag was gone.
Thanks to BASE and everyone who came out for a memorable night!

This article is my study notes on Beaujolais for the WSET level3 certification.
East and south of the region the alluvial plan of the River Soane. Plain Beaujolais is grown in the flatter sourther portion of the region with clay and limestone soil. Beaujolias Crus is gwron in the granite hills of the north.
Ideally suited for early budding and ripening of Gamay.
Gamay can produce large yields, so the granite soil (low in nutrients) limits the yields to concentrate flavours. Gobelet pruning where vines are pruned to spurs around the head, then shoots tied together. Lightest styles served lightly chilled.
Beaujolais Nouveau_ Specifically made for early drinking, released third Thursday in November. Only available from Beaujolais AOC and Beaujolais Village AOC wines.
Thirty-nine villages, village names rarely appear on label, as wines are blended from different villages.
Ten villages, largest are Brouilly, Morgon, Fleurie, Moulin-a-Vent. Morgon and Moulin-a-Vent produce the most structured wines. Brouilly and Fleurie are more perfumed. The concentration of the Crus allows for bottle aging.
Many undergo crushed-fruit fermentation and some oak, often large vats. Others use semi-carbonic maceration or a small portion of bunches to give brighter fruit aromas.


Emily Herbert attended Programming Languages Implementation Summer School (PLISS)
Earlier this summer I had the opportunity to attend the Programming Languages Implementation Summer School (PLISS), a week long summer school program for early-career programming languages researchers held in Bertinoro, Italy. The summer school focused on preparing students for PL research by introducing and teaching core PL concepts, discussing possible future research areas, and connecting attendees with both new and experienced colleagues in their field.
Each day consisted of four lectures, with topics ranging from a review of the implications of Spectre to an introduction to first-class continuations and many of the topics being completely new to me. Students were encouraged to actively participate and ask questions, and several of the lectures turned into interactive sessions with the speaker. This was one of the things that I really appreciated about PLISS - the atmosphere felt very welcoming and it was clear that the speakers’ goal was student comprehension. PLISS fostered a great learning environment, and I left with more questions than I arrived with!
In addition to the lectures, another focus of the summer school was connecting the students with others in their field, and PLISS offered us many opportunities to socialize and talk science. It was fun to hear about what projects the other students were working on and I got some good feedback about my own project. Moreover, it was reassuring to meet researchers in the same stage of their careers that I am in.
Much thanks to the CS Women’s group for their support in subsidizing my trip! I highly recommend PLISS, or another summer school in your field, I had an awesome time!
P.S. Thanks to Hanneli Tavante, another attendee for the group photo


Pretokenized Headers
Precompiled headers are a general approach employed by many compilers to reduce compilation time. The underlying motivation of the approach is that it is common for the same (and often large) header files to be included by multiple source files. Consequently, compile times can often be greatly improved by caching some of the (redundant) work done by a compiler to process headers. Precompiled header files, which represent one of many ways to implement this optimization, are literally files that represent an on-disk cache that contains the vital information necessary to reduce some (or all) of the work needed to process a corresponding header file. While details of precompiled headers vary between compilers, precompiled headers have been shown to be a highly effective at speeding up program compilation on systems with very large system headers (e.g., Mac OS/X).
Clang supports an implementation of precompiled headers known as pre-tokenized headers (PTH). Clang's pre-tokenized headers support most of same interfaces as GCC's pre-compiled headers (as well as others) but are completely different in their implementation. This first describes the interface for using PTH and then briefly elaborates on its design and implementation.
Using Pretokenized Headers with clang
The high-level clang driver supports an interface to use PTH files that is similar to GCC's interface for precompiled headers.
Generating a PTH File
To generate a PTH file using clang, one invokes clang using the -x <language>-header option. This mirrors the interface in GCC for generating PCH files:
$ gcc -x c-header test.h -o test.h.gch $ clang -x c-header test.h -o test.h.pth
Using a PTH File
A PTH file can then be used as a prefix header when a -include option is passed to clang:
$ clang -include test.h test.c -o test
The clang driver will first check if a PTH file for test.h is available; if so, the contents of test.h (and the files it includes) will be processed from the PTH file. Otherwise, clang falls back to directly processing the content of test.h. This mirrors the behavior of GCC.
NOTE: clang does not automatically used PTH files for headers that are directly included within a source file. For example:
$ clang -x c-header test.h -o test.h.pth $ cat test.c #include "test.h" $ clang test.c -o test
In this example, clang will not automatically use the PTH file for test.h since test.h was included directly in the source file and not specified on the command line using -include.
Using Pretokenized Headers with clang-cc (Low-level Interface)
The low-level Clang compiler tool, clang-cc, supports three command line options for generating and using PTH files.
To generate PTH files using clang-cc, use the option -emit-pth:
$ clang-cc test.h -emit-pth -o test.h.pth
This option is transparently used by clang when generating PTH files. Similarly, PTH files can be used as prefix headers using the -include-pth option:
$ clang-cc -include-pth test.h.pth test.c -o test.s
Alternatively, Clang's PTH files can be used as a raw "token-cache" (or "content" cache) of the source included by the original header file. This means that the contents of the PTH file are searched as substitutes for any source files that are used by clang-cc to process a source file. This is done by specifying the -token-cache option:
$ cat test.h #include <stdio.h> $ clang-cc -emit-pth test.h -o test.h.pth $ cat test.c #include "test.h" $ clang-cc test.c -o test -token-cache test.h.pth
In this example the contents of stdio.h (and the files it includes) will be retrieved from test.h.pth, as the PTH file is being used in this case as a raw cache of the contents of test.h. This is a low-level interface used to both implement the high-level PTH interface as well as to provide alternative means to use PTH-style caching.
PTH Design and Implementation
Unlike GCC's precompiled headers, which cache the full ASTs and preprocessor state of a header file, Clang's pretokenized header files mainly cache the raw lexer tokens that are needed to segment the stream of characters in a source file into keywords, identifiers, and operators. Consequently, PTH serves to mainly directly speed up the lexing and preprocessing of a source file, while parsing and type-checking must be completely redone every time a PTH file is used.
Basic Design Tradeoffs
In the long term there are plans to provide an alternate PCH implementation for Clang that also caches the work for parsing and type checking the contents of header files. The current implementation of PCH in Clang as pretokenized header files was motivated by the following factors:
Language independence: PTH files work with any language that Clang's lexer can handle, including C, Objective-C, and (in the early stages) C++. This means development on language features at the parsing level or above (which is basically almost all interesting pieces) does not require PTH to be modified.
- Simple design: Relatively speaking, PTH has a simple design and implementation, making it easy to test. Further, because the machinery for PTH resides at the lower-levels of the Clang library stack it is fairly straightforward to profile and optimize.
Further, compared to GCC's PCH implementation (which is the dominate precompiled header file implementation that Clang can be directly compared against) the PTH design in Clang yields several attractive features:
Architecture independence: In contrast to GCC's PCH files (and those of several other compilers), Clang's PTH files are architecture independent, requiring only a single PTH file when building an program for multiple architectures.
For example, on Mac OS X one may wish to compile a "universal binary" that runs on PowerPC, 32-bit Intel (i386), and 64-bit Intel architectures. In contrast, GCC requires a PCH file for each architecture, as the definitions of types in the AST are architecture-specific. Since a Clang PTH file essentially represents a lexical cache of header files, a single PTH file can be safely used when compiling for multiple architectures. This can also reduce compile times because only a single PTH file needs to be generated during a build instead of several.
Reduced memory pressure: Similar to GCC, Clang reads PTH files via the use of memory mapping (i.e., mmap). Clang, however, memory maps PTH files as read-only, meaning that multiple invocations of clang-cc can share the same pages in memory from a memory-mapped PTH file. In comparison, GCC also memory maps its PCH files but also modifies those pages in memory, incurring the copy-on-write costs. The read-only nature of PTH can greatly reduce memory pressure for builds involving multiple cores, thus improving overall scalability.
Fast generation: PTH files can be generated in a small fraction of the time needed to generate GCC's PCH files.
Despite these strengths, PTH's simple design suffers some algorithmic handicaps compared to other PCH strategies such as those used by GCC. While PTH can greatly speed up the processing time of a header file, the amount of work required to process a header file is still roughly linear in the size of the header file. In contrast, the amount of work done by GCC to process a precompiled header is (theoretically) constant (the ASTs for the header are literally memory mapped into the compiler). This means that only the pieces of the header file that are referenced by the source file including the header are the only ones the compiler needs to process during actual compilation. While GCC's particular implementation of PCH mitigates some of these algorithmic strengths via the use of copy-on-write pages, the approach itself can fundamentally dominate at an algorithmic level, especially when one considers header files of arbitrary size.
There are plans to potentially implement an complementary PCH implementation for Clang based on the lazy deserialization of ASTs. This approach would theoretically have the same constant-time algorithmic advantages just mentioned but would also retain some of the strengths of PTH such as reduced memory pressure (ideal for multi-core builds).
Internal PTH Optimizations
While the main optimization employed by PTH is to reduce lexing time of header files by caching pre-lexed tokens, PTH also employs several other optimizations to speed up the processing of header files:
stat caching: PTH files cache information obtained via calls to stat that clang-cc uses to resolve which files are included by #include directives. This greatly reduces the overhead involved in context-switching to the kernel to resolve included files.
Fasting skipping of #ifdef...#endif chains: PTH files record the basic structure of nested preprocessor blocks. When the condition of the preprocessor block is false, all of its tokens are immediately skipped instead of requiring them to be handled by Clang's preprocessor.

Reported Nottingham Forest transfer target 'waiting on his options in January'
The Reds have been linked with a January transfer window move for Newcastle United striker Dwight Gayle
by Sarah ClapsonNewcastle United will “listen to offers” for reported Nottingham Forest target Dwight Gayle in January.
The Reds were said to be keen on the striker in the summer, and it has been claimed they could reignite their interest when the window opens in a few weeks.
Gayle has featured just twice for the Magpies under Steve Bruce this season, coming off the bench against both Chelsea and Wolves last month.
And though boss Bruce has previously said the 29-year-old will get his chance, it has been suggested United will be willing to let him leave midway through the campaign.
Chronicle Live report: “They’ll be listening to offers for Dwight Gayle - although don’t expect that to be advertised publicly - and if he leaves, a replacement would be possible.”
West Bromwich Albion, where Gayle spent last term on loan, are also said to be eyeing up the forward, while he has also been linked with a big money move to the Chinese Super League.
The Chronicle also state that Gayle came close to joining the Baggies in the summer but that he wanted to wait to see what else was on the table come January.
“Newcastle were prepared to sell him to West Brom just before deadline day in August,” the report says.
“United had lined up a loan deal with an agreement of a permanent £15m switch if the Baggies were promoted.
“But Gayle was savvy enough to know the pendulum would swing in his favour in the coming months.
“He preferred a permanent deal to know what the future holds - and a Premier League chance - and informed West Brom he’d be waiting on his options in January and beyond (while attempting to breakthrough at Newcastle).”

'Liverpool's best signing of the season' - Rival fans have their say on Palace VAR controversy
Rival supporters left thinking VAR is always going in Liverpool's favour this season
by Lee WilmotThere was controversy in the game between Crystal Palace and Liverpool at Selhurst Park on Saturday.
Liverpool led the way at the top of the Premier League table at the start of the day's play - eight points clear of Leicester and Chelsea.
But the looked to be in trouble as the match with the Eagles headed towards half-time when Palace took the lead.
Or so they thought.
A free-kick from the far left-hand side was nodded on and headed home at the back post by James Tomkins in the 42nd minute.
But as has often been the case this season, VAR intervened.
After a long delay, the video assistant decided to disallow the goal because of a foul in the build-up. Palace striker Jordan Ayew was adjudged to have pushed Dejan Lovren in the area as the free-kick was delivered into the box.
It is not the first time the Reds have benefited from VAR interventions this season and with them far out in front at the top of the table, rival fans from Manchester United, Chelsea, Tottenham and others have been having their say on the decisions that seem to be going the league leaders' way.
It will be interesting to see the Premier League table in terms of VAR decisions come the end of the season.

NCGEODATASET GEODEMO_1B
Method B: Read surface salinity with corner/edge/stride syntax. If you are more used to working with NetCDF in Fortran than in Matlab, this may be the syntax for you.
% OPeNDAP Data URL for a CF-Compliant curvilinear ROMS model dataset url ='http://geoport.whoi.edu/thredds/dodsC/examples/bora_feb.nc'; nc = ncgeodataset(url)
nc = ncgeodataset handle Properties: location: 'http://geoport.whoi.edu/thredds/dodsC/examples/bora_feb.nc' netcdf: [1x1 ucar.nc2.dataset.NetcdfDataset] variables: {80x1 cell}
Take a look at the variables available within the dataset
To access the properties we can use typical dot notation like with ordinary Matlab structures. Here we want to get a list of the variables in the dataset we are looking at.
nc.variables
ans = 'AKs' 'AKt' 'AKv' 'Akk_bak' 'Akp_bak' 'Akt_bak' 'Akv_bak' 'Cs_r' 'Cs_w' 'Falpha' 'Fbeta' 'Fgamma' 'M2nudg' 'M3nudg' 'Tcline' 'Tnudg' 'Znudg' 'Zob' 'Zos' 'angle' 'dstart' 'dt' 'dtfast' 'el' 'f' 'gamma2' 'gls_Kmin' 'gls_Pmin' 'gls_c1' 'gls_c2' 'gls_c3m' 'gls_c3p' 'gls_cmu0' 'gls_m' 'gls_n' 'gls_p' 'gls_sigk' 'gls_sigp' 'h' 'hc' 'mask_psi' 'mask_rho' 'mask_u' 'mask_v' 'nAVG' 'nHIS' 'nRST' 'nSTA' 'ndefHIS' 'ndtfast' 'ntimes' 'ntsAVG' 'pm' 'pn' 'rdrg' 'rdrg2' 'rho0' 'salt' 'spherical' 'temp' 'theta_b' 'theta_s' 'tnu2' 'u' 'ubar' 'v' 'vbar' 'xl' 'zeta' 'lat_psi' 'lat_rho' 'lat_u' 'lat_v' 'lon_psi' 'lon_rho' 'lon_u' 'lon_v' 'ocean_time' 's_rho' 's_w'
Determine the shape of the selected variable
The size method is a method of ncgeodataset that returns the length of each of the dimensions of a given variable in the dataset. This is a lot like Matlab's internal size command, but in this case we haven't even loaded any data into memory yet. All this information comes from the netcdf-java cdm.
sz = nc.size('salt')
sz = 8 20 60 160
Use START, STOP, STRIDE array style indexing with NCTOOLBOX
This syntax uses more of a C or Java syntax for subsetting arrays (but maintains Matlab's start at 1 indices).
% To access data this way, use the data method on the ncgeodataset object % representing your local or remote netcdf dataset. This is a lower level % data access method. Call data with arguments of variable name, start % indices for each dimension, end indices for each dimension, and an % optional stride vector for each dimension. % let take a look at the dimension names first, which will inform how % we need to specify the indices nc.dimensions('salt') % We see that we have time, z, y, x dimensions, in that order nz=sz(2); salinity = nc.data('salt', [1 nz 1 1], [1 nz 60 160], [1 1 1 1]); size(salinity) salinity = squeeze(double(salinity));
ans = 'ocean_time' 's_rho' 'eta_rho' 'xi_rho' ans = 1 1 60 160
START, STOP, STRIDE array style indexing to return coordinate axes
In order to access the coordinate information for the salt variable call the grid method on the ncgeodataset object with the same arguments as data.
% Note that accessing coordinate data this way depends on the coordinates % attribute in the netcdf variable to define the variable coordinates. In % this case, even though time and z coordinates should be included, only % lat_rho and lon_rho are defined in the coordinates attributes, so only % they are returned by the grid method. salinity_coords = nc.grid('salt', [1 nz 1 1], [1 nz 60 160], [1 1 1 1])
salinity_coords = lat_rho: [60x160 double] lon_rho: [60x160 double]
Use the time method to convert model time to MATLAB's datenum
Lets grab the date for the subset we requested so that we can add it to the figure title, since it wasn't included in the grid command results. We can use the time method on the ncgeodataset object to do the conversion from the model's ocean_time to Matlab's datenum. The first argument should be the name of the time variable, and the second is the value of the time that you are trying to convert or an array of values. The second argument is optional, and if omitted the entire length of the time variable is converted to datenum.
time = nc.time('ocean_time', nc.data('ocean_time', 1, 1)) time = datestr(time)
time = 7.3162e+005 time = 11-Feb-2003 12:00:00
Plot with MATLAB's pcolor command
Plotting using pcolor is as simple as the code below. Sometimes coordinates are stored in the netcdf datasets as vectors (vs. the 2-d arrays that these lat/lon coordinates are in). When this is the case, see Matlab's meshgrid function to create 2-d plaid grids from the vectors.
pcolor(salinity_coords.lon_rho, salinity_coords.lat_rho, salinity) shading flat; colorbar; caxis([35 39]); % Now let's add a title to the figure that includes the dataset's global % attribute title and the date of the data that we subset. title({nc.attribute('title'); time})


There are four options which fundamentally change the behaviour of the standard plotter:
