Hello,
I saw in some open source projects a use of "!!" in "C" code;
for example:
in some header file
#define event_pending(v ) \
(!!(v)->vcpu_info->evtchn_upcall_ pending & \
!(v)->vcpu_info->evtchn_upcall_ mask)
whereas evtchn_upcall_p ending is of type unsigned char
(and also evtchn_upcall_m ask is of type unsigned char).
What does "!!" operator do in this case ? Any ideas?

! is not operator.
so !! is read as not of not which implies true.

It is "not not", thta is, it checks its argument to see if it is not
zero.
Is is a way to make explicit that the argument is not a bool, and is
being tested for a non-zero value.

no, not really. In C a non-zero value is taken to be true. "!" as you
state is the not operator and yields either 0 (false) or 1 (true). So
"!!"
yeilds a "normalised " boolean value that is it has the same logical
value but is guaranteed to be 0 or 1. Using a truth table:-
x !x !!x
0 1 0
1 0 1
2 0 1
where "2" represents an arbitary non-zero value

!! is two instances of one operator.
(!(a)) means ((a) == 0)
(!!(a)) means ((a) != 0)

!! is a good way of turning a scalar value into 1 or 0.
For example, this
printf("%p\n", (void *)"boo");
will output some value that's not 0, and very unlikely to be 1, e.g.,
0040300
However, this
printf("%p\n", (void *)!!"boo");
will output 000001, e.g., '1'
I've seen/used !! in functions that allocate memory, and return 1 if the
memory was allocated ok, else 0.
A routine like this would look something like ...
void * p;
int allocStuff(size _t n)
{
p = malloc(n);
return !!p;
}
int main(void)
{
if(allocStuff(. ..))
{
}
else
{
}
}
Although the code above would work if allocStuff simply returned the actual
pointer value, it would stop someone from finding out that fact, and doing
something like this ...
int main(void)
{
void * p1;
if(p1 = allocStuff(...) )
{
// Aha, we've now got a pointer to the memory allocated!!!
}
else
{
}
}
Yes, in the code above [first], you'd also get the same thing by accessing
p, but I hope you get the gist of this simple example, and see how it could
be extended?

as in

You make reference to it but your table doesn't reflect that C simply
defines logical true as non zero so you can't say that it's == 1 or 2 or
anything - only that it's non-zero.
More precisely:
x !x !!x
0 1 0 ie: logical false
1 0 != 0 ie: logical true
2 0 != 0 logical true

this -
Is it correct to using "using" with templates, for example:
using std::vector;
Or do I need to specify the type too:
using std::vector<int>;
Both seem to "work" on the compiler I have and I can't find any
documentation saying which is correct, or are both correct?
