    - getting the handle for a thread I have a bunch of threads created with CreateThread(). When each thread is exiting, it posts a message saying that it's about to quit. I'd like to do the CloseHandle() on the thread handle in that message handler. But, how can I tell which handle is the one for that particular thread which just finished? Is there a call like GetThreadHandle() I can use from within the thread to pass back the same handle I got from CreateThread() to the message-handler? Thanks, PaulH std::vector<HANDLE> m_vThreads; CMyDlg::StartAThread() { THREAD_INFO *pTI = new THREAD_INFO /*...*/ m_vThreads.push_back(AtlCreateThread(MyThread, pTI); } static DWORD __stdcall MyThread(THREAD *pTI) { std::auto_ptr<THREAD> pATI(pTI); /*...*/ PostMessage(pATTI->hWnd, UWM_FINISHED_TEST, 0, 0); return 0; }; CMyDlg::OnFinishedThread(/*...*/, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam) { CloseHandle(???); - } Tag: RE: Deploying my MFC app on another pc Tag: 269338

    - Is there a way to keep newlines in preprocessor macro expansions? Greetings! I have a long macro expansion in which I have used backslash/newline sequences to make the definition readable. As I am debugging, I want to see what the preprocessor has done, so I throw a /P into my compiler arguments to get a .i preprocessor output file. Inside the .i file, I see that the macro has been expanded onto a single line. This is, of course, perfectly reasonable C++, but I'd like to have the newlines in the expansion so that I can see it more easily. Is there a way to tell the preprocessor to keep the newlines in the expansion? Thanks very much! Rob Richardson RAD-CON, Inc. Tag: RE: Deploying my MFC app on another pc Tag: 269334

    - A change from 2002 to 2005 wrt to global templatized operators? We just upgraded from a quite old VC++ to 2005. In the process, something has stopped working that seems like it's completely legal. Basically we have our own very large framework. We have the usual streaming classes (base classes for in and out streams, from which various specific streaming classes are derived for files, memory, etc...) and the usual templatized collection classes. We want our collections to be streamable, where the instantiation element supports it, so we provide the usual global (friend) streaming operators with each collection type, so that streamability isn't forced on the instantiation element types, something like: // // A templatized collection class with friend declarations for // the streaming operators // template <class T> class TFundStack : public TObject { public : ....... protected : friend TBinOutStream& operator<< ( TBinOutStream& strmOut , const TFundStack<T>& fcolToStream ); friend TBinInStream& operator>> ( TBinInStream& strmIn , TFundStack<T>& fcolToStream ); } // In the same header, global streaming operators template <class T> TBinInStream& operator>>(TBinInStream& strmToReadFrom, TFundStack<T>& colToStream) { } template <class T> TBinOutStream& operator<<(TBinOutStream& strmToWriteTo, const TFundStack<T>& colToStream) { } * TBinInStream and TBinOutStream are the base classes from which various types of binary in/out streams are derived. // In a test app, I'd create a stack, put something in it TFundStack<tCIDLib::TCard4> fcolStack(4); fcolStack.Push(1); // Then create an memory based output stream and stream the stack TBinMBufOutStream strmTestOut(8192, 8192); strmTest << fcolStack << kCIDLib::FlushIt; The compiler doesn't find the global operators and I get an unresolved symbol error on operator<<(TBinOutStream&, TFundStack<tCIDLib::TCard4>), so it's not making the connection from the streaming of the stack to the provided global streaming operator. Is there something I'm missing here? Is this no longer valid in C++ or is this some quirk of VC++ 2005, or is there some new switch I need or some such thing? ------------------------------------- Dean Roddey Chairman/CTO, Charmed Quark Systems www.charmedquark.com Tag: RE: Deploying my MFC app on another pc Tag: 269316

    - Quick basic C question! Hello, I am reviewing some C code when I have come across the following piece of code, please take a look: ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// void main() { int hour; display_bcd(hour); } void display_bcd( byte n) { putc(n/16+'0'); putc(n%16)+'0'); /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// Regarding the second line of code of the display_bcd function, If I understand right, say n = 10, so, 10%16 = 10 + (ascii value of 0, which is 48) sent through putc we get the following character ":" right? However I don't understand the first line: putc(n/16+'0'); ??? Why is he dividing a byte value by 16? What happens to a byte value when divide by a number anyways? I looked around in a few C books but could not find any samples resembling this. All feedback sincerely appreciated!

    - some headers seems to conflict the others Hi everybody, I have a sort of strange problem, I need to search for a special file (perl.exe) in run time and searching the help I have found out CFileFind but it needs afx.h to be included. The problem is when I include afx.h some other parts of my program which were being built and working properly seem impossible to be built. an example is Directory::GetCurrentDirectory(). I had a similar problem with including windows.h. again some formerly proper statements seemed to turned out to unproper ones after including windows.h and Directory::GetCurrentDirectory() was one of them. The error message in both cases are the same and seem even stranger to me. It is :" error C2039: 'GetCurrentDirectoryA' : is not a member of 'System::IO::Directory' " I don't have any GetCurrentDirectoryA. what the problem could be?

    - rs232... Hello Scott and everyone else who will read this post. After many messages that I posted on the news groups about rs232, I have come up with functional code which reads in as many as 25 characters in one operation, meaning that a micro-controller can send 25 bytes to the PC and VC++ has no problem reading this. The code can be altered to read many more bytes than 25 if required, however I only tested up to 25. All you need to do is to change the first defined statement > BYTESTOREAD! Scott, I have learnt a lot form our exchage of posts, so I figure I would like to share with you, what I have come up with, and I would appreciate your opinion â?¦ However, I know that the code can probably be made more efficient, however I think, for me, for now, its quite okay! This is not the way I will leave the code, there will be some final touches such as better placement of #define statements and so forth! I will put comments under every line of code, so if you disagree with the commentary feel free to correct it. ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// #include <windows.h> CSerialWnd MySerial; //Create an object of Cserial type. LRESULT CALLBACK WndProc_CW1 (HWND hwnd, UINT message, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam) { //RS232 *Receive mode #define BYTESTOREAD 25 //Depicts the amount of bytes to read! #define OB_BYTES ((BYTESTOREAD*2)+1) //Number of bytes for official Buffer ! static DWORD dwBytesRead; //Declaration of variable to indicate actual bytes that are //read in within the time limit that windows allowed! static byte CatchByte_BUFFER[BYTESTOREAD+1]; //Bytes returned from the MySerial.Read() function, will be //immediatelly assigned to this array. static byte Accum_BUFFER[BYTESTOREAD+1]; //Since windows cannot assure a constant amount of bytes //returned from the MySerial.Read() function(which come // from the rs232 port), then when CatchByteBUFFER //is full, I transfer its bytes to the Accum_BUFFER.

After spending many hours on the subject, I thought I could shine some light on rs232 in a laymens kind of way, I know for many of you, this is probably unworthy of your time or knowledge, however, if I would of have had this type of post 3 months ago, it really would of made the rs232 implementation curve a lot simpler for me! I invite anyone that is a beginer and finds rs232 complicated just as I did, (and still do! Because I am sure there is much more to this) to use it and improve upon it! I have one question though! What is the advantage of using the Wndserial class as opposed to using functions like CreateFile, WriteFile, ReadFile, and CloseHandle. Would I be better off, or is it because in Windows it would be too complicated! Just asking! I thank Scott and all members of the news groups that have helped me on the subject!

    - cin and binary mode Is there any chance of slightest light at the end of the tunnel in pursuing the cin and binary mode operation together? I am trying to see if I can open the cin in binary mode for read operation. I am using VC++ with VS .NET 2003 While using VS 6.0, it was a piece of cake, but since there were a lot of things just removed in VC++ .NET 2003 version, I am having a hard time converting this little piece of code.... previously with VS 6.0 it was, istream_withassign myFile; filebuf *myFileBuf; ....... myFileBuf = new filebuf (_fileno(stdin)); myFileBuf->setmode(filebuf::binary); myFile = myFileBuf; // stream object is stream buffer if (!(myFile.read(data, nBytes))) { if (myFile.eof()) { status = M_EndOfFile; } else ..... } Which worked just fine. Any ideas or hopes of converting it to VC++ .net 2003? I have done something like this.... which obviously does not work..... It reads the EOF before I expect it to. And it may be something with the cin not opened in binary mode. std::istream* myFile; .......... myFile = &std::cin; if (!(myFile->read (reinterpret_cast<char*>(data), nBytes))) { if (myFile->eof()) { status = M_EndOfFile; } else .......... } Any help is appreciated.....

    - rs232? Again.... Hello, I have had success doing rs232 where my cpu can read from my PC. I am now trying to get my PC to read from my cpu. I had success on this also, 2 months ago at reading 8 bytes into the PC end. Everything was fine, however, today I had the uncontrollable urge to try to read 9 bytes!!!!!! Well guess what? back to the drawing board I am! :-) I want to ask a very simple question and go step by step! Because I though I understood what I was doing 2 months ago after extensive research on the subject, but I am obviously wrong! On my cpu end, I am sending a string like this: /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// char RS232_1_ExtOut[] = "ABCDEFGH"; for(i=0;i<7;i++) fputc(RS232_1_ExtOut[i],COM_1); ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// As you can guess, this sends a string of eight characters out on com 1 of the cpu! Now, on the PC side (VC++) I have: /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// static DWORD dwBytesRead = 8; static BYTE abBuffer[9]; int TEMP; MySerial.Read(abBuffer,sizeof(abBuffer),&dwBytesRead); TEMP++; ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// Okay, I have a break point on the "TEMP++;" line! For starters, ain't I supposed to read 8 bytes max, hence the variable dwBytesRead? And, abBuffer has enough room to hold the total amount of bytes read plus a null termination character. Right! So why, at this particular moment at breakpoint time! , abBuffer contains, "ABCDEFGÃ?Ã?" 2 Months ago when I got this to work, in the cpu code, I used to send a null character "\0" after my string. I stopped doing this, because I realized it didin't have any effect. I have been told before by news groups fellows that rs232 returns many bytes, but isn't the purpose of the: MySerial.Read(abBuffer,sizeof(abBuffer),&dwBytesRead); function, supposed to limit the amount of bytes read to the value passed in the 3rd parameter? All suggestions and help is very appreciated! P.S. Does anyone know where I can get documentation describing all of the Serial class.... I tried to ask this to the author, but got no response!!! -- Best regards Robert Tag: RE: Deploying my MFC app on another pc Tag: 269220

    - Application design for shared data repository programmed in VC on Win32 Hello folks, This might be slightly offtopic but not very much so ,since the development is to be done in VC for Win32 environment. I have a requirement whereby there is an in-memory data repository which should be housed in a certain binary module . The access to this in-memory data repository is only through an API exposed by the same binary module.The operations allowable are the creation of new record , deletion of record , update of record, and record search. Moreoever this binary module should provide this API to any application on the same machine and simultaneous access ( protected by some synchronization primitive for data integrity ofcourse ) is also allowable. Now i have a couple of ideas on how to implement this on Win32 ,but would also like to hear about any advice or suggestions that you might have. One of the ideas i am thinking of is along these lines. The binary in which the data repository is housed ,should be a DLL , with exported functions that provide the API for data access. Any application which wants to use the data repository ,would load the DLL in its address space. There should be exactly one copy of the data ( let us say for the sake of discussion for the time being , in a statically allocated array of structures ) for as many applications that have loaded the DLL. The data structure would be a global in the dll. -The memory is typically owned by the any process that loads the dll , so how do we make it sure that this data structure has memory which is common to as many processes that have loaded the DLL. How does this type of design sound , i would really appreciate any comments and suggestions on this. Or any related best practices. thanks in advance. regards Taha Tag: RE: Deploying my MFC app on another pc Tag: 269205

    - VC++ 6 vs. VC++ express: please advise I'm planning to write some code for a friend (for free), and may use C++, which I haven't used in 5 years. Just installed my VC++6 on Windows xp home edition. Since my recollection of MS VC++ has faded anyway, I was thinking of trying their free VC++ express (I love C++ but never gave MS VC++6 high marks for user friendliness). I have some questions and reservations, and would appreciate any advice. --Will installing the free VC++ express mess up my installation of VC++6, somehow making that less usable? I imagine installing VC express might answer the remaining questions, but I'm a bit afraid to do that without reassurance about its effect on VC++6. --does VC express have the full ISO C++, including STL? --are there restrictions, like amount of memory used, size of arrays, etc? --does it produce reasonably fast code? --is it easy to get started? --what else does VC express lack that the full commercial product has? --any other comments are welcome My code is not going to be polished professional work--just a favor for one friend. But I do need STL, operator overloading, reasonable speed of execution, and to be able to read/write text files on disk and display info to the user. Basically, the program is going to read *a lot* of data, do some *lengthy* numerical number crunching, write some results back to disk, and display some results. Thank you all!

    - Strange delete memory failure Hello all, I have the following problem: i am declaring something like that: char* mystring = new char[200]; then i'm filling the string. After lloking the memory, it looks like it is correct with 4 no man's land bytes before and after the string and correct length. However, when deleting (delete [] mystring), it causes a debug assertion failure even if just before the delete, my string is still well defined in memory. How can such a thing happen? I know I am doing a lot of processing between declaration and delete and that could be that i am writing at the wrong adress but this is not the case here.

Thanks. Tag: RE: Deploying my MFC app on another pc Tag: 269168

    - HELP: DLL and synchronizing global data I have a DLL that contains global data. The data is initialized from DllMain during DLL_PROCESS_ATTACH and destroyed during DLL_PROCESS_DETACH. Once initialized, the global data is only read from and not modified at all. My question is what sort of protection should I provide, if any, to this global data. I have done some testing and everything appears to work with no synchronization at all, my concern is that problems might appear when running on multiprocessor machines, something I can't test for at the moment. Any help much appreciated... -- Best regards Mark Tag: RE: Deploying my MFC app on another pc Tag: 269161

    - COMDAT folding - which flags disable it inadvertently? Howdy; I'm wondering which compiler flags in VC++ 2003 and 2005 would inadvertently disable COMDAT folding? Reading one of Raymond Chen's blog posts, /Za definitely kills COMDAT folding support. The reason I ask is because we're replacing some old non-templated arrays with templated array types in one of our larger projects, and we're getting a huge increase in size via a Release build with the relevant COMDAT-specific flags turned on. Also: can COMDAT folding occur cross-library? Or is that only possible if Whole Program Optimization and Global Optimizations are turned on? Thanks!

    - Run in debug mode with VS and Without. Difference? Here is my problem whihc is very strange for me; (VC++ 2003) i am developping a multi-threaded DLL and using STL of VC++, (especially "list")... So far i always compiled my code in debug mode... ok... Here it is; When i run my application with double click on it, it throws a run-time error; i search and i found that it gives error on a "delete xStruct;" statement, i commented it and it again gave an error when trying to run push_back of STL list. Here is the strange thing; Without changing "anything" instead of double clicking&running the app. when i start it via "Start" button (again in debug mode) in VS 2003 it works perfect... How can u explain it??? Tag: RE: Deploying my MFC app on another pc Tag: 269159

    - GetProcAddress() refused to return address I'm trying to explicitly link a 3rd party DLL, but I can't get GetProcAddress() to return an address to any of my functions. I'm able to link implicitly, and here's a declaration for one of the functions that I used for implicit linking: extern "C" int __declspec(dllexport) __cdecl OpenFile(LPCTSTR AFileName); That works when linking implicitly. So when linking explicitly, LoadLibrary() returns fine, but when I call: GetProcAddress(hDLL, "OpenFile"); it returns NULL and GetLastError() indicates "The specified procedure could not be found". I've Googled for this, but this seems to be a very unique problem, and I don't know what else to try. I'm running VC++8.0. Tag: RE: Deploying my MFC app on another pc Tag: 269148

    - Profiling code with optimisation on Hi, I have some templated vector code to unroll a loop, see below. I am trying to test this code against a simple a*a + b*b + c*c vector dot product to see if it truly is producing the same code. I ran the code below and had a look at the assembly listing and it does look like the inlining works, but unfortunatly the optimising power of the compiler is so great that it substituted my code for a simple: int main() { printf("%f", 14.0f); return 0; } which is great, but not what i want for profiling purposes :-). I still want some optimisation for inlining the code, just not so much. NOTE: I only have the basic optimise for speed settings, nothing fancy like global intrinsic functions.... template<typename _Value> struct Vector { _Value _value; }; template<typename _Vector> struct VectorDotProd {}; template<typename _Type, int _Length> struct VectorDotProd<Vector<_Type[_Length]> > { typedef Vector<_Type[_Length]> _Vector; __inline static float Apply(_Vector const & vector0, _Vector const & vector1) { return Impl<_Type, _Length-1>::Apply(vector0, vector1); } template<typename _Type, int _Index> struct Impl { __inline static float Apply(_Vector const & vector0, _Vector const & vector1) { return vector0._value[_Index] * vector1._value[_Index] + Impl<_Type, _Index-1>::Apply(vector0, vector1); } }; template<typename _Type> struct Impl<_Type, 0> { __inline static float Apply(_Vector const & vector0, _Vector const & vector1) { return vector0._value[0] * vector1._value[0]; } }; }; int main() { typedef Vector<float[3]> Vector3f; Vector3f v0 = {1.0f, 2.0f, 3.0f}; Vector3f v1 = {1.0f, 2.0f, 3.0f}; float result = VectorDotProd<Vector3f>::Apply(v0, v1); _RPTF1(_CRT_WARN, "v0.v1 = %f\n", result); printf("%f\n", result); return 0; } Tag: RE: Deploying my MFC app on another pc Tag: 269147

    - Deploying builds, PDB, C7 and debug symbols... Is there a way to ship debug symbols linked into the PE with MSVC8? It seems only the PDB method is supported because of the linker, yet the C++ compiler knows how to embed C7 in the .obj files. It is very tedious for us to deploy .PDB with each .DLL and .EXE, through Subversion, because of the sheer size of these... Does somebody have a solution to this problem?

    - why the service manager doesn't start my service Hi, all, I have a question, and I hope to get some hints here.. I created a really simple service just to check why the service manager doesn't start my service the second time if the first time failed.. I created an atl service through the wizard, and the only thing I do is override the PreMessageLoop()... HRESULT CAutoStartServiceModule::PreMessageLoop(int nShowCmd) { HRESULT hr = CAtlServiceModuleT<CAutoStartServiceModule, IDS_SERVICENAME>::PreMessageLoop(nShowCmd); if(FAILED(hr)) return hr; //return a false here.. //log event here.. LogEvent(_T("Failed to start the service, should retry ....")); return E_ABORT; } And in the service control panel, i set "Recovery options" as First Failure: Restart the service.. Second Failure: Restart the service.. Subsequent Failure: Restart the service.. But the service was not restarted ... I wonder maybe I miss something to report the right information back to the service control manager.. Thanks for any help.. J.W. Tag: RE: Deploying my MFC app on another pc Tag: 269119

    - console winevents and codepage change on 2 or multi cpu systems Hey guys, any help would be appreciated. Background: My system basic specs is Windows XP, SP2, VC6. Intel P4 Hyperthreading. This problem occurs only if there is more than 1 cpu(hyperthreading or Dual Xeon). I am using SetWinEventHook to get notification of console winevents. Events 4001h-4007h After I setup the hook, I run several console applications, let's use cmd.exe as an example. all is well, notifications are coming from all the windows and I was happy for a while. Yet... When I run CMD.EXE, and then run "chcp", I get the active codepage. if I try to change it using "chcp 437", the CMD.EXE process hangs. Same happened if I use a console application of my own and use the api SetConsoleOutputCP to change the codepage. If the console process didn't hang for the first time, opening a second console application(or cmd.exe) and changing the codepage causes it to hang. Assume the only line of code in the WINEVENTPROC that fires is int i=0; No global variables, no calls. so the problem is not within the proc. I tried WINEVENT_OUTOFCONTEXT and WINEVENT_INCONTEXT methods with EXE's or DLL's, exact same results. I tried hooking only 4007h event, same results. The problems occurs only in the console events(4001h-4007h), other events work great. If I UnHook the events, change the codepage(works) and hook back, it works but it's just not supposed to be this way! ! ! and it is not good for my design. On single processor systems it works well, on multi processor systems it only works If I set the affinity of CSRSS to only one CPU and so on (not a good solution obviously, just for the sake of testing...) then all is working well. Questions 1. WTF? 2. Am I doing something that is not thread safe ? 3. Is this a bug in windows ??????? is their api not thread safe ? 4. Not related to the problem(I am not using VB for the above problem), does any one know why UnHookWinEvent doesn't work in VB(doesn't unhook) ? while SetWinEventHook is working great.?

I'm experiencing the same User Breakpoint Unhandled Exception on one of my machines. My main desktop. Possible heap corruption ( if it is in fact a heap corruption, how do you trace the and remove it?).

I'm really not sure what else to try as I need to get it back functioning normally on my desktop which is my main development machine.

Hi,

I am familiar with using MFC / ATL but I have no idea how to run my
applicaiton on another machine that does not have VS2005 installed.

My application is an MFC executable that uses ADO and ADOX with the
#import directive. When I do a re-build solution , I see a debug folder
with an exe, I can run this exe on my machine where it has VS2005
installed, but it wont run when I take it to another clean machine
(without VS2005). I am not familiar with the build process, and
settings I may need. Is there any site with step by step instructions
on how to do this? Any advise will be helpful. Just never needed to run
my app on another machine, and now I am in a situation where I need to
do so. Sorry if this is such a "begginer" question.

I did see some posting that say to use an installer to do this, but I
have never used one before

Just build a release version of your application.
