javascript - recursive function call returns [Circular] on console.log() -


so have script makes object current directory , below it.

here's console.log of return statement.

› node recursiveobjectifydir.js { files:    { 'license-mit': { stat: [object] },      gruntfile: { stat: [object] } },   dirs: { nested2: [circular] } }

what [circular] thing mean , come from?

here actual script reference:

var fs = require('fs'); var path = require('path');  function buildfolder(folder) {     if (!folder) {         folder = __dirname;     }     nestedfiles = fs.readdirsync(folder);     currentfile = folder + '/' + nestedfiles.pop();     main = {         files: {},         dirs: {}     };     while (currentfile !== folder + '/undefined') {         var filename = path.basename(currentfile, path.extname(currentfile));         var filestat = fs.statsync(currentfile);         var fullpath = folder + '/' + filename;         if (filestat.isdirectory()) {             if (fullpath.match(/git/)){             } else if (fullpath.match(/node_modules/)){             } else{               var folderobj = buildfolder(fullpath);               object.defineproperty(main.dirs,                   filename, {                       configurable: true,                       enumerable: true,                       value: folderobj                   }               );             }         } else {             if (fullpath.match(/ds_store/)){}             object.defineproperty(main.files,                 filename, {                     configurable: true,                     enumerable: true,                     value: {                         stat: filestat                     },                 }             );         }        currentfile = folder + '/' + nestedfiles.pop();     }     return main; }  buildfolderreturn = buildfolder(); console.log(buildfolderreturn);

with node.js (javascript language) have careful scope. within function, called recursively, variables @ start treating if in function scope accessible recursive calls of same function. put var in front of have done in loop.

var nestedfiles = fs.readdirsync(folder); var currentfile = folder + '/' + nestedfiles.pop(); var main = {     files: {},     dirs: {} };

i think might problem here. put var on unless expect available in scope already. unless in global scope suggest putting var on variable not in scope.

Linux vanilla kernel on QEMU and networking with eth0 -

i have downloaded , compiled vanilla linux kernel (3.7.1) used busybox ramdisk booted using qemu. qemu command line qemu-system-i386 -kernel bzimage -initrd ramdisk.img -append "root=/dev/ram rw console=ttys0 rdinit=/bin/ash" -nographic -net nic -net user everything goes well. however, can't use networking on vanilla kernel busybox. 'ifup eth0' tells me / # ifup eth0 ip: siocgifflags: no such device i googled internet can' clue... advice nice thank in advance. most there no driver (in example should e1000) loaded or device has name. in /sys/class/net/ should find listing of available net-devices. if there none (besides lo) driver not loaded. in qemu monitor type "info pci" , show pci-address of ethernet card. should this: ... bus 0, device 3, function 0: ethernet controller: pci device 8086:100e ... this device corresponds /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:03.0/. files "vendor" , "device" must c...

rdbms - what exactly the undo information lives in oracle? -

some docs says, there "undo tablespaces" implies should create tablespace undo imformation. some docs says, there "undo segment" implies undo information lives in normal tablespaces , use of it's segment. so, undo information lives , organized? earlier releases of oracle database used rollback segments store undo. oracle9i introduced automatic undo management, simplifies undo space management eliminating complexities associated rollback segment management. oracle recommends (oracle 9i , on words) use undo tablespace (automatic undo management) manage undo rather rollback segments. when creating undo tablespace, these automatically created: n undo segments (based on sessions parameter value) named _syssmun$ owned public (usable ops configuration) not manually manageable

clojure - 'get' replacement that throws exception on not found? -

i'd access values in maps , records, throwing exception when key isn't present. here's i've tried. there better strategy? this doesn't work because throw evaluated every time: (defn get-or-throw-1 [rec key] (get rec key (throw (exception. "no value.")))) maybe there's simple method using macro? well, isn't it; has same problem first definition, if evaluation of throw happens later: (defmacro get-or-throw-2 [rec key] `(get ~rec ~key (throw (exception. "no value.")))) this 1 works letting get return value (in theory) never generated other way: (defn get-or-throw-3 [rec key] (let [not-found-thing :i_would_never_name_some_thing_this_021138465079313 value (get rec key not-found-thing)] (if (= value not-found-thing) (throw (exception. "no value.")) value))) i don't having guess keywords or symbols never occur through other processes. (i use gensym generate special value of...
