Q: Base16 with custom hextable I'd like to encode/decode data using Base16 but with a custom hextable (as opposed to the conventional '0123456789ABCDEF')
I've considered simply replacing every digit/letter with the corresponding one after writing it but I find that inefficient for obvious reasons
This is for an iphone app, which means I'm using objective-c code but that C and C++ also work with it.
I tried the code here: http://www.koders.com/c/fid4FE13B3E182CA09D7F399059A96DBF0A7968BA5C.aspx?s=base64
#ifdef HAVE_CONFIG_H
#  include <config.h>
#endif

#include <string.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

#include "ggz.h"
#include "base16.h"

/* Function to encode strings to base16 (hex) with a nibble per hex character */

char *ggz_base16_encode(const char *text, int length)
{
    char *ret = NULL;
    int i;
    static const char hextable[20] = "0123456789abcdef";

    if(!text) return NULL;

    ret = ggz_malloc((length * 2 + 1)*sizeof(*ret));
    if(!ret) return NULL;

    for(i = 0; i < length; i++){
        ret[i*2] = hextable[(text[i]&0xf0)>>4];
        ret[i*2+1] = hextable[text[i]&0xf];
    }
    return ret;
}

But I don't find the decoding method on the same site, and also its not working anyways. This is my corresponding objective-c code for it:
NSString *txt = @"hello";
NSData *data = [txt dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
const char *nc = ggz_base16_encode(data.bytes, [data length]);
NSString *str = [[NSString alloc] initWithCString:nc encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
}

Help would be much appreciated.
Thanks

A: Decoding code should be simple, like that:
int result = 0;
for each char c in string (left to right)
    result = result * 16 + getNumericValue(c)

(pseudocode!)
For getNumericValue I would use, generally speaking, a pre-filled map (dictionary/hashtable/whatever your favourite language has), which just maps char to its numeric value.
For conventional hex notation, one could construct the map as follows:
for (int i = '0'; i <= '9'; i++)
    map[i] = i - '0';
for (int i = 'a'; i <= 'f'; i++)
    map[i] = i - 'a' + 10;

-- but for your special mapping you would need your customary table.
(I'm not an expert in objective C, so I don't know what are the appropriate data structures there.)

A: I am not sure if this compiles, it is simulated in C. ggz_malloc does garbage collect?
char * ggz_base16_decode(const char *text)
{
    const char * customtable = "0123456789abcdef";
    int size = strlen(text);
    char * ret = ggz_malloc((size+1)>>1);
    char * q = ret;
    int i;
    int f = 1;
    unsigned char t[256];
    memset(t,0,256);
    i = 0; while (*customtable) t[*customtable++]=i++;
    while (*text) {
            if (f) *q = t[*text]<<4;
            else *q++ |= t[*text];
            f = !f;
            ++text;
    }
    return ret;
}

A: I wonder if the expression
ret[i*2] = hextable[(text[i]&0xf0)>>4];

might be going wrong. I think char is signed.
If the value of text[i] has its top bit set say 0xe0, then the 0xe0 & 0xf0 = 0xe0, then 0xe0 >> 4 is 0xfe because it is sign extended. so it will be looking up way beyond the end of hextable.
So try
ret[i*2] = hextable[(text[i]>>4)&0x0f];

TSKHINVALI, 26 Aug – RIA Novosti. Recognition of South Ossetia from Russia was a difficult, but fair step, the Assistant to the President of the Russian Federation Vladislav Surkov has said, speaking in Tskhinvali at a meeting on the occasion of the 10 anniversary of recognition.© RIA Novosti / Rukhkyan Pereyti in an image bank Residents of Georgia have told how they treat loss of Abkhazia and South Ossetia" Anatoly Ilyich (Bibilov, the president of South Ossetia) has told today that recognition of South Ossetia from Russia was a difficult, courageous step, but the correct and fair step. It is absolutely correct, and I am glad that my country has acted this way" — Surkov has said. At the same time he has remembered that South Ossetia became the only state, "which had enough courage" to recognize the self-proclaimed republics of Donbass — the DPR and LPR. "I want to emphasize that it was not the just symbolical gesture. Actually, it it is much bigger. Because all of us know who is engaged in it that that financial, trade, economic, legal, organizational infrastructure which is created in South Ossetia for these two republics is actually Road of Life in the conditions of blockade which is made on the relation of the people of Donbass by the Kiev mode" — Avdeev Pereyti in an image bank "Has emphasized with Saakashvili of Groundhogs.© of the RIA Novosti / Maxims covered on mother". Memories of "five-day war" according to him, this support from South Ossetia has allowed to hold economy of Donbass afloat. Bibilov has awarded Surkov with the Order of Honour for a contribution to development and strengthening of friendship between народами.Москва on August 26, 2008 recognized sovereignty of Abkhazia and South Ossetia after Georgia on the night of August 8 has fired at South Ossetia from installations of volley Grad fire. Russia, protecting residents of South Ossetia, many of which were naturalized the Russian Federation, has sent troops in the republic and after five days of fighting has forced out the Georgian military from the region. Subsequently Abkhazia and South Ossetia were recognized by Nicaragua, Venezuela, Nauru, Vanuatu, Tuvalu, and on May 29, 2018 recognition of independence of Abkhazia and South Ossetia was declared by Syria.

Gas Chamber at Auschwitz (Mazal)
From: Harry W. Mazal OBE
I am presently in London doing some research before departing for another couple of weeks in Auschwitz and, time allowing, in Sobibor as well.
While in Auschwitz I will make some final observations regarding the holes on the roof of the gas chamber of Krema II. During an earlier visit this year my colleagues and I identified three of these holes. The purpose of this visit will be to locate the last one of the Zyklon introduction holes. The prospects of this happening are good due to the unique metrological method that we are employing.
On another matter...
During my visit here I have been told that David Irving has moved all of his archives to the United States with the possible intent of taking up residence there. It appears that he has not filed an appeal with the higher court in his suit against Prof. Lipstadt and Penguin books.
Sic transit...

Classical music: Saturday afternoon, Live From the Met in HD closes this season with an acclaimed production of "Dialogues of the Carmelites." Here is a background story, two rave reviews, and next season's 10 operas
ALERT:The Brass Choirs of the Wisconsin Youth Symphony Orchestras will present an afternoon of brass music this Saturday afternoon, May 11, at 2:30 p.m. in Mills Concert Hall, 455 North Park Street, in Madison. Directed by Tom Curry, the program features brass musicians from WYSO's Concert, Philharmonia and Youth Orchestras. The concert is FREE and OPEN TO THE PUBLC. Music to be played is by Johann Sebastian Bach, George Frideric Handel, Giovanni Gabrieli, Charles Gounod, Edward Elgar, Paul Hindemith, Alan Hovahaness and Karel Husa.
CORRECTION: The Madison Youth Choirs will perform its "Legacy" concerts this weekend in the Capitol Theater of the Overture Center on Saturday and Sunday — NOT Friday, as mistakenly listed and then corrected in the original post, which is below: https://welltempered.wordpress.com/2019/05/08/classical-music-the-madison-youth-choirs-will-explore-the-theme-of-legacy-in-three-concerts-this-saturday-and-sunday-in-the-capitol-theater-of-the-overture-center/
This Saturday afternoon, May 11, the last production of this season's "Live From the Met in HD" series, broadcast worldwide via satellite to cinemas, is Francis Poulenc's "Dialogues of the Carmelites."
By all accounts, it would be hard to end on a higher, stronger or more darkly dramatic note, given the outstanding music and performance of the score as well as the superb acting. (There is a brief preview of short scenes in the YouTube video at the bottom.)
The world premiere of the opera took place in 1957 at La Scala in Milan, Italy. One of the most successful operas of the later decades of the 20th century, "Dialogues of the Carmelites" is a rare case of a modern work that is equally esteemed by audiences and experts, according to program notes from the Metropolitan Opera.
The opera focuses on a young member of the order of Carmelite nuns, the aristocratic Blanche de la Force, who must overcome a pathological timidity in order to answer her life's calling. The score reflects key aspects of its composer's personality: Francis Poulenc (below) was an urbane Parisian with a profound mystical dimension, and the opera addresses both the characters' internal lives and their external realities.
The opera takes place between 1789 and 1794 in Paris and in the town of Compiègne in northeastern France, the site of the Carmelite nuns' convent.
Its historical basis is the martyrdom of a group of 16 Carmelite nuns and lay sisters from Compiègne, who chose to offer themselves as victims for the restoration of peace to France during the French Revolution.
The Met uses the classic John Dexter production of Poulenc's devastating story of faith and martyrdom.
Mezzo-soprano Isabel Leonard (below right) sings the touching role of Blanche and soprano Karita Mattila (below left), a legend in her own time, returns to the Met as the Prioress.
The conductor for the performance is the Met's highly acclaimed new music director Yannick Nézet-Séguin, who also leads the Philadelphia Orchestra and the Metropolitan Orchestra of Montreal.
The high-definition broadcast of the live performance from the Metropolitan Opera (below) in New York City starts at noon and runs until 3:10 p.m. with two intermissions. (It will also air at noon on Wisconsin Public Radio.)
The encore HD showings are next Wednesday, May 15, at 1 p.m. and 6:30 p.m.
The opera will be sung in French with supertitles in English, German and Spanish.
Tickets for Saturday broadcasts are $24 for adults and $22 for seniors and children under 13. For encore showings, all tickets are $18.
The cinemas where the opera can be seen are two Marcus Cinemas: the Point Cinema on the far west side of Madison (608 833-3980) and the Palace Cinema (608 242-2100) in Sun Prairie.
Here is a link to the Marcus website for addresses and more information. You can also use them to purchase tickets:

Here is a link to the Metropolitan Opera's website where you can find the titles, dates, casts, production information and video clips of all 10 productions this past season — PLUS an announcement, with dates and titles, for next season's 10 productions (which feature five new productions but no Verdi):
https://www.metopera.org/season/in-cinemas/
Here is a background story that focuses on the French-Canadian conductor Yannick Nézet-Séguin, who leads the orchestra in this production and is the new music director of the Metropolitan Opera:
https://www.nytimes.com/2019/05/02/arts/music/met-opera-dialogues-des-carmelites.html
Here is a rave review of "Dialogues of the Carmelites" by senior classical music critic Anthony Tommasini for The New York Times:

Hello and welcome to today's cards, which are two more alternative ideas for the November 2018 Paper Pumpkin, To You & Yours. I decided to "step up" these cards by adding some shimmer paint, embossing, and die cutting. I wanted to create Christmas cards this still used the Paper Pumpkin supplies, but also make them a "wow" card that is still easy to make.
Aren't those easy?? So now you have at least four more Christmas card that you can make from this Paper Pumpkin as alternatives! Here is all six cards from this week and if you CASE'd these, you will have a total of twelve cards!

AUGUST 31. REVOCATION OF DECREES AND THE CREATION OF THE NEW MISSION, ICERGUA-PERU.
In September, 2008, ICERGUA created a mission in Peru, in response to the request of some presbyters there. That the mission began with the presbyters was a departure from the Constitution of ICERGUA, which prescribes that the entities that make a covenant with us and who become part of our Church are communities. Furthermore, the Fundamental Constitution prescribes that the secular presbyters, which is the case in Peru, receive ministerial licenses and appointment in ICERGUA only at the request of the communities that have elected them to exercise the ministry for their sacramental edification. After two years of this irregular situation, deviating from our Constitution, and in face of the rise of several communication problems and difficulties arising from an exercise of ministry that does not conform to ICERGUA standards, the conclusion has been reached that it was time to begin the mission anew, following the procedure envisioned in our Constitution. That implies that, beginning September 30, 2010, the mission in its present form be dissolved, that the entities called parishes also be dissolved and that all the presbyterial installations that have been made and ministerial licenses awarded be revoked. At that time, the communities that identify themselves with the identity and mission of ICERGUA and that are in a stable condition will be able, if they wish, to request incorporation into ICERGUA, and, if there be such, a new mission of ICERGUA in Peru will be created. Only those presbyters will receive ministerial licenses who are elected by the communities that wish to join our church, and the licenses will be granted only for the celebration and administration of the sacraments in the communities that elected them. In this way, we want to assure that if there be an ICERGUA mission in Peru in the future, it may truly reflect our identity and mission, and oblige itself to fulfill the terms and procedures of our Constitution. We also want to assure that the presbyters that attend to them pastorally and sacramentally not participate in any way in sacramentalism, sacramental mercantilism, usurpation of functions and that they not mislead the faithful of other churches.
