- I was just doing some debugging, and wanted to modify the value of a String member variable to null to see if that would fix a bug I'm looking into. I clicked on the member in the "Data" window, selected Modify Value... from the right mouse menu, then entered null into the field for the new value. However, that ended up setting the value to the String containing the four letters "null". I shot an Oracle Messenger chat over to Liz who works on our core debugger and she passed on the tip. |

Reuters reports that the "Oscar- and Emmy-winning film and TV composer [was] so prolific that hardly a day goes by when one of his works is not being played somewhere in the world," and looking at his IMDB profile one sees the credits for over 200 movie scores and TV theme songs. Goldsmith was nominated for 17 Academy Awards during his career of over 50 years but only won one Oscar, for The Omen in 1976. He will be missed, but his musical legacy will live on... |
