Bash - useful bash aliases which I use in my daily work

~/projects/CppAdventureExamples/bash/aliases.html Bash alias is abbreviation of one terminal command (usually long command) using other terminal command (usually much shorter command). We can define aliases in bash dot files (ex. ~/.profile file).

Example of bash alias: 
alias i="sudo apt-get install"
Then we can install 'vim' package using 'i' alias this way (it works of Debian-based systems): 
i vim
Today I would like to present few useful bash aliases which I use in my daily work.
You can paste below aliases into your ~/.profile file (or ~/.bashrc) if you recognize them useful for you.
Enjoy!
#==================================================================
# Listing aliases 
alias ll="ls -lah"
#list only directoriesj
alias lsd="ls -lF ${colorflag} | grep --color=never '^d'"
alias sl='ls'

#==================================================================
#filter selected app from running commands 
alias pg="ps aux --sort=start_time | grep"
#list all apps runned by me and sort by start time
alias pm="ps aux --sort=start_time | egrep '^$USER'"

#==================================================================
# BUILD ALIASES
# speed up make + make install using all available CPU cores
alias mi="make -j`nproc` && sudo make -j`nproc` install"

#==================================================================
# OTHER ALIASES
# show last notes to syslog file quickly 
alias lg="tail -f /var/log/syslog"
# speed up wget in parallel (on 16 threads)
alias wgetp="aria2c -x 16 -s 16"
#generate 12-character long password 
alias passgen="strings /dev/urandom | tr -cd '[:alnum:]' | fold -w 12 | head -n 1"
# retart apache2 server
alias aprst="sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart"
# show open ports
alias ports='netstat -tulanp'
# ps 10 memory and cpu consuming processes 
alias psmem='ps auxf | sort -nr -k 4 | head -10'
alias pscpu='ps auxf | sort -nr -k 3 | head -10'

alias k="sudo kill"
alias ka="sudo killall"

#==================================================================
# Navigation shortcuts
alias ..="cd .."
alias ...="cd ../.."
alias ....="cd ../../.."
alias .....="cd ../../../.."
alias ......="cd ../../../../.."

Advanced C++ - Stack unwinding

Stack unwinding is normally a concept of removing function entries from call stack (also known as Execution stack, Control stack, Function stack or Run-time stack). Call Stack is a stack data structure that stores active functions' addresses and helps in supporting function call/return mechanism. Every time when a function is called, an entry is made into Call stack which contains the return address of the calling function where the control needs to return after the execution of called function. This entry is called by various names like stack frame , activation frame or activation record. With respect to exception handling , stack Unwinding is a process of linearly searching function call stack to reach exception handler. When an exception occurs, if it is not handled in current function where it is thrown, the function Call Stack is unwound until the control reaches try block and then passes to catch block at the end of try block to handle exception. Also, in this proc...

Boost - shared pointer

Shared pointer is another kind of Boost library's pointer. It is similar to scoped pointer but shared pointer allows share ownership of object. We are able to assign two or more pointers pointing to the same object (it was impossible for scoped pointer). Take a look to the example below: Output of this example is: In point I we are initializing two shared pointers pointing to two separate instances of TestClass class, then we are printing its values in point II. Point III shows use difference between shared pointer and scoped pointer. We are assigning two pointers to the same object of class TestClass . In this point object having testValue==5 is being destroyed (because we remove the only one pointer to that object). Also, we have two pointers pointing to objects having testValue==6 now. Note that that object will be destroyed when last shared pointer pointing to them will be destroyed ( int our case it is destroyed when we are reaching end of main() function)...
