    - CodeView symbol generation or union Hello, I have libraries x.dll and y.dll for which I generate CodeView symbols x.pdb and y.pdb respectively. Library x.dll implicitly links to library y.dll by using an import library (y.lib). Is it possible to either: (a) instruct the compiler/linker to include symbols for y.dll in x.pdb OR (b) combine the symbols in x.pdb and y.pdb into one pdb A strange question, but I would appreciate any assistance you may provide.

    - DLL and external references This is probably a basic question: //######################################################################### // testdll.cpp // extern function used in dll, defined in an external static library extern int external_function(); extern __declspec(dllexport) int dll_function() { return external_function(); } //######################################################################### When linking I do NOT specify the static library in which "external_function" exists in. This causes a linker error "extern int external_function()" unresolved external. The question is, do all external references in a DLL have to be resolved at link time? Using the above code (without the DLL spec) I can create a static library that has an "undefined extern" that will be resolved when the exe is built. Is this a requirement of a DLL, are there any references? Thank you, A.N Tag: Force the linker to include referenced libs Tag: 232926

    - Tricky one.. window text spy problem Hi ! I've encountered a tricky problem. I am building a tool that monitors windows text changes using windows hooks. It seemed to work fine but I've try to run it over IsoBuster and it seems that the options window and some of it's child windows set their caption without WM_SETTEXT !!! when using SPY++ to get the options window text before showing it the first time, it shows caption as "O", and after show - " Options" I've used a process wide message-monitor to chk WM_SETTEXT and I got nada. I also went the extra mile and did an api monitor on SetWindowText and again... nothing went by... Does any one have a clue as to how it changes the window text WITHOUT any message ?? thanx, Kaniga.

    - Timer problem I am using SetTimer() function and OnTimer() function to display a window for a certain time. My code is as follows: SetTimer(1,3000,NULL); SetTimer(2,6000,NULL); ;;; ... ;; OnTimer(nIDEvent) { if(nIDEvent == 1) { d.DoModal() //to launch a new dialog KillTimer(1); } if(nIDEvent ==2) { d.EndDialog()//ends the dialog KillTimer(2) } } Now come the problem........this works only if you give ceratin values(here i have give 3000 delay for first and 6000 delay for the next) This works fine.But if you change this values....it does not work.The second setimer should have delay equal to exact double.(say 4000 and 8000 and so on).It is giving an asseertion error for any other value.Can anybody help.Thanks in advance Bye Jeevan Tag: Force the linker to include referenced libs Tag: 232899

    - ICE on VC7.0 (and VC6) attempting to resolve member function pointer for a templated member function specialized by pointer-to-member-function type Title: ICE on VC7.0 (and VC6) attempting to resolve member function pointer for a templated member function specialized by pointer-to-member-function type (in case Newsgroups truncates it) I have a piece of code that is supposed to be representative of a new function-dispatching mechanism we're trying to implement. Here it is: <CODE> struct DispatchParameters {}; struct DispatchReturns {}; template<class Derived> struct Dispatcher { typedef void (Derived::*NOPARAMFUNC)(); typedef void (Derived::*LONGFUNC)(long); typedef void (Derived::*DISPFUNC)(NOPARAMFUNC, const DispatchParameters&, DispatchReturns&); template<NOPARAMFUNC> void dispatch(NOPARAMFUNC pFunc, const DispatchParameters&, DispatchReturns&) { ((static_cast<Derived*>(this))->*pFunc)(); } template<LONGFUNC> void dispatch(LONGFUNC pFunc, const DispatchParameters&, DispatchReturns& ) { ((static_cast<Derived*>(this))->*pFunc)(1L); } }; struct Sink: Dispatcher<Sink> { void P1(); void P2(long); const DISPFUNC f1, f2; Sink(): f1(reinterpret_cast<DISPFUNC>(&Sink::dispatch<&Sink::P1>)), f2(reinterpret_cast<DISPFUNC>(&Sink::dispatch<&Sink::P2>)) {} }; int main() { Sink sink; return 0; } </CODE> The idea is that in real code f1 and f2 will be replaced by entries in a map, and macros uncannily similar to ATL's SINK_MAP_ENTRY etc will be used to specify the map. The idea of the template parameters on the overloaded dispatch functions in Dispatcher is to allow them to be disambiguated depending on the function signature. I realise doing reinterpret_cast on a member function pointer is not ideal, but I believe it is going to be safe in the way I'm actually going to use it. On both VC6 and VC7.0, an ICE occurs. I'm hardly surprised on VC6, but I had hoped VC7 would be able to deal with this. I don't have VC7.1, Whidbey etc so if someone here could try it out for me on that, that would be great. The code above compiles without error with Comeau's online compiler. (I don't need a solution to this problem. I am raising it as a conformance issue only.)

    - File Handling and Caching I am writing a C/C++ application that opens a set of files and reads/writes to these files in chunks/blocks called pages. There are two specific types of files used to store different sets of information. There are data files used to store the logical data records and index files used to store index references to the logical data records in the data file. The data file pagesize is determined by whether its storing variable or equal size records. For this discussion, we can ignore variable length data files and assume that data file pagesize is equal to a record size. For the index files, the pagesize is equal to the disk's block size and the index engine uses this to determine the number of index entries that can exist on a single page, etc. NOTE: The application that is handling the access to these files is running multiple threads, so critical sections will be used to aid in the reader/writer paradigm. Now, if I want to be able to prevent unnecessary disk reads by implementing some form of a page cache, is it worthwhile to spend time on developing this "cache" functionality myself or utilize the win32 memory mapped file logic to handle this? By allowing the operating system to handle this, it means that I do not have to worry about it and that I just access the file as if it were memory pointers; however the limitation is that if the file needs to be grown because a new record is to be added, then the file has to be locked, unmapped, grown, remapped, and unlocked for the next operation to take place. By handling this myself, I then have to read the block of information from disk, store it in memory and be able to access the memory buffer when a thread references the page and occationally write dirty memory buffers to disk. But this gives me the flexibility of growing the files as needed without having to unmap/remap the file. Both cases have their pros/cons and I was curious what others thought would be the right avenue to go. Thanks in advance! Chris Tag: Force the linker to include referenced libs Tag: 232886

    - MoveFile() function not working for directory? Hi, I want to call MoveFile() in my vc++ program to copy a directory. MoveFile() doc said the function can do it. But I tried to both the following and neither works:\ 1) char sFrom = "c:\\mytest\\"; char sTo="c:\\newtest\\"; CreateDirectoryA(sTo, NULL); MoveFileA(sFrom, sTo); 2) char sFrom = "c:\\mytest\\*"; char sTo="c:\\newtest\\"; strcat(sTo, "*"); CreateDirectoryA(sTo, NULL); MoveFileA(sFrom, sTo); Note sFrom is an exiting dir with files inside. The problem is that I always got empty sTo directory, i.e. the files are never copied. What is the problem here? Thanks, Peter Tag: Force the linker to include referenced libs Tag: 232875

    - Question about static functions Hey guys and girls, this is more of a alt.comp.lang.learn.c-c++ but I'm more interested in how the VC++ .NET compiler deals with this sort of thing. Anyways, I wanted to know what the difference between a static and a ummm... not static 0.o function is. here's the code: // Proto's static int StaticGetFive(void); int NotStaticGetFive(void); // Func's int StaticGetFive(void) {return 5;} int NotStaticGetFive(void) {return 5;} They are NOT in a class, since I know that in a class static keyword is very different from this version (static in class makes it ummm... a none instancible function... well... you know what i meen ~.^). My guess is that static just ensures that the function cannot be accessed outside of the obj file (the compiled cpp file) and that it is entirly a syntaxtical statement (doesn't actually add or change anything in the generated assembly code). I have been known to be wrong on occation... not often but it happends ^.~ So I figured you guys and gurls could help my clear this up. Also I'm wondering if this will change the way a function pointer to the function will act. I'm guessing that since static or the ... normal version of these two functions could still be called from outside the compiled cpp file, if we had the right function pointer, the "NotStaticGetFive" is actually being defaulted to a static function (since inline, or extern, etc... isn't infront of the Prototype). Anyways, feel free to ramble on, cause any and all information will help ;) Tag: Force the linker to include referenced libs Tag: 232857

    - Memory leakage and the stack? I'm using Visual C++ 6.0 and the debugger is reporting memory leaks. I go to the line it references and it is within one of my methods. The line it points to is: rect = new CRect(0, 0, vidWidth,vidHeight); At the very start of the method I have: CRect rect; I was thinking rect would be automatically deallocated on method exit. Do I have to deallocate the memory rect is pointing to? When I try either delete rect; or delete [] rect; at runtime I get a 'user breakpoint encountered' dialog box, but I set no breakpoints at the line where I delete the rect variable. So should the memory rect points to be automatically deallocated upon method exit, and if not then why can't I delete it with the delete [] rect or delete rect statements? Thanks!

    - Socket question.... Hi, I came across this wierd situation recently: One of our cutomers, has dual NIC cards on all of their machines. The NIC cards are "Teamed" to provide extra bandwidth and fault tolarence. These are Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet cards running on driver v2.78. When our software is run on these machines, the machine stops responding after some time (approx 13-14 mins). The machine cannot be pinged as well. If our software is run on the same machine without the "Teaming", i.e. only one nic card is used, it runs fine. The OS was windows 2000 server in both the cases. Our software makes use of SOAP and windows socket to comminucate with other servers. Is this a know pattern? Does any body have any idea how to resolve this issue? Thanks in advance.

    - CreateProcessAsUser (error 1314) I have a problem with CreateProcessAsUser. It always returns me the error code 1314 ("A required privilege is not held by the client"). My application needs to change the privileges to administrator privileges of the current process. So I use ImpersonateLoggedOnUser (this part goes well). Besides, it has to launch several commands, so I have to use CreateProcessAsUser (because I saw that ShellExecute or WinExec don't inherit privileges). To create the new process I duplicate the token that use to Impersonate converting it to primary token. Furthermore, I put the SE_ASSIGNPRIMARYTOKEN_NAME and SE_INCREASE_QUOTA_NAME on token, because I read that it needs, but nothing happens. The error is still here. Does anyone can help me?

    - Template code works with g++ but not MSVC++ The following code: class ABC { std::list<ABC> mylist; }; compiles in g++ without a problem. However, VC++ version 6 (latest service pack), complains about the class ABC not being defined on the line where the list is declared. I tried adding a class ABC; statement before the class definition, but it had no effect. I understand this problem is due to the fact that the template parameter of mylist is in fact the class of which mylist is a member. Is this a problem in microsoft's implementation, or is this normal behaviour and the fact g++ accepts it is an extension? Are there any simple workarounds?

    - Dialogbox did not show up. Please help!!! Hi, I am implementing a Win32 DLL project. In this dll I developed a dialogbox. In order to export the dialogbox, I did the following things. 1. define a function called Test() int Test() { return DialogBox(NULL, MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDD_DIALOG),NULL, DlgProc); } 2. export this Test() function. The problem I encountered was the dialogbox did not show up. The DialogBox() returned a -1 indicating it failed to create the dialogbox. So I called GetLastError() and got the error code 1812, which indicates "The specified image file did not contain a resource section.". I am pretty sure the Test() function was successfully exported because I got some results if I replace the DialogBox() with other functions. I stuck there for tens of hours so if you have any clues or ideas, please drop me a line. I deeply appreciate your help. THanks, Hu Tag: Force the linker to include referenced libs Tag: 232717

    - Static libs Hello all ! I want to create a static lib. In it, i'm calling a function (lets say 'xzy') that is in another static lib... So I included it in the project and I compiled... it compiled fine.. When I write a client that uses my lib, it complains that it cannot link the 'xyz' function (unresolved)... So the client have to include the lib where 'xzy' is implemented... Is there a way for the function body 'xyz' be included in my static lib so that clients that will use my lib won't have to include all other libs that my lib uses !?

    - Slow file transfer ... Hi, I am writting a program using WinSock2 to transfer files, the program seems work fine when the file is not that big. But when I tried it with a 370M file, it's too slow that I can tell the transferrred file increase it's size about 1200byte each time. I used TransmitFile() in putting file, here is how I use the function: if(!TransmitFile( m_socket, hFile, 0, 0, NULL, NULL, 0 )) { CloseHandle(hFile); throw CCException( CWsaerr(), WSAGetLastError(), _T("Falied to transmit file") ); } I am not sure if the slow transfer is from this function call. Even I increase the buffer size of receiving side (I used recv() ), it seems no effect. So I suspect it. One of my collegues said MTS may limit the transfer to about that speed, but I am not sure. Any idea? If TransmitFile() does cause this slowing down, any ways to fix it? Or I have to go back to use traditional send() to send? Any comments or suggestions?

    - deadlock on SMP machines - perhaps caused by wldap32.dll? Hello, Apologies in advance, this is a very long post, but I'm trying to be as complete as possible. I'm also not sure if this is the correct group, but it seemed appropriate. We have a process that runs as part of our product that has been working fine on Windows. However, we recently had an issue onsite where these processes (there are usually multiple instances) would hang and become completely unresponsive on SMP (Compaq 8-way) machines running Windows NT and 2000. I've managed to recreate the issue in our test lab on a dual Xeon (hyperthreaded) box running Windows 2003. There is definitely some sort of deadlock situation here, but I'm at a loss how to proceed after banging my head against this for a week now. There is some evidence that suggests the DllInit function of wldap32 is somehow a player in this - the details are further down. First, let me provide a little context: This service (it's not really an application) is written in VC++ 6.0, and is spawned via a daemon that is also part of our application. In a typical deployment there is one of these service processes for each processor on the local machine. The service instantiates a Java Virtual Machine via JNI, and most of our core code executes within the VM. One of the functions of this service is to spawn processes and feed them input and capture their output. This is acheived by the VM loading a VC++ 6.0 bridge library, which in turn loads another VC++ 6.0 library (we'll call this the "work library") which does the actual work. When all of the assigned work is through, the work library is unloaded until the next time. The work library is fairly simple, and the core behavior involves invoking CreateProcess (usually cmd.exe, which in my test setup just echoes some msg), and creating threads to write to the input handle, and read from the output and error handles. This has been working on all flavors of Windows (uniprocessor) for quite some time. Now, to the details. Here is the basic sequence leading up to the hang: 1) Process loads the work library 2) Process performs some number of brief "work units" (CreateProcess() + accompanying threads, and then cleanup) happily and healthily 3) Process CPU utilization drops to 0, and there is no more activity, ever. This lockup appears to happen faster when more instances are running. Attaching cdb to these hung processes consistently reveals two scenarios: Scenario A - the "Is wldap32.dll doing something bad?" scenario ---------- The work library thread which called CreateProcess has successfully waited on the process to exit. It waits on an Event that will be set by the thread which reads the output from the process, but that Event is never set. Mainly because those helper threads are stuck. The debugger always has to forcibly break into the process b/c the loader lock is held. !locks reveals two locks in contention: CritSec ntdll!LdrpLoaderLock+0 at 77FC2340 LockCount 8 RecursionCount 1 OwningThread b80 EntryCount 2a ContentionCount 2a *** Locked CritSec WLDAP32!PerThreadListLock+0 at 76F34010 LockCount 1 RecursionCount 1 OwningThread d64 EntryCount 1 ContentionCount 1 *** Locked ---- Stack trace for thread b80: 0f5dfba8 77f43741 77f5d64e 000005a0 00000000 SharedUserData!SystemCallStub+0x4 0f5dfbac 77f5d64e 000005a0 00000000 00000000 ntdll!ZwWaitForSingleObject+0xc 0f5dfbe8 77f42044 000005a0 76f1129f 76f34010 ntdll!RtlpWaitForCriticalSection+0x126 0f5dfbf0 76f1129f 76f34010 00000000 0f5dfc1c ntdll!RtlEnterCriticalSection+0x46 0f5dfc00 76f11257 00000b80 77f47dc9 76f10000 WLDAP32!AddPerThreadEntry+0x2f 0f5dfc08 77f47dc9 76f10000 00000002 00000000 WLDAP32!LdapDllInit+0x3e 0f5dfc28 77f5d067 76f11180 76f10000 00000002 ntdll!LdrpCallInitRoutine+0x14 0f5dfcbc 77f5cef6 0f5dfd30 0f5dfd30 00000000 ntdll!LdrpInitializeThread+0xd4 0f5dfd1c 77f45241 0f5dfd30 77f40000 00000000 ntdll!LdrpInitialize+0x171 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 ntdll!KiUserApcDispatcher+0x7 To me, this begs the question: why is this library referred to in the first place? We certainly don't use LDAP and we aren't using ActiveDirectory, either. 'lm' reveals that it is an unloaded module. My only guess is that the library init routine is called in order to see if LDAP is enabled in case it's needed to check process/thread creation security tokens. The interesting thing about WLDAP32!PerThreadListLock+0 is that the owning thread (d64) is nowhere to be found! So, no stack trace. There are several other threads waiting on locks. None of them are in my input/output/error read/write user code, they are all in LdrpInitialize or kernel32!ExitThread. I suspect the exiting threads are mine. 5 threads have the same trace (with differing addresses, but waiting on the same critical section - 77fc2340): 0f6dfbec 77f43741 77f5d64e 00000330 00000000 SharedUserData!SystemCallStub+0x4 0f6dfbf0 77f5d64e 00000330 00000000 00000000 ntdll!ZwWaitForSingleObject+0xc 0f6dfc2c 77f42044 00000330 77f5cfcc 77fc2340 ntdll!RtlpWaitForCriticalSection+0x126 0f6dfc34 77f5cfcc 77fc2340 00000000 7ffdf000 ntdll!RtlEnterCriticalSection+0x46 0f6dfcbc 77f5cef6 0f6dfd30 0f6dfd30 00000000 ntdll!LdrpInitializeThread+0x2f 0f6dfd1c 77f45241 0f6dfd30 77f40000 00000000 ntdll!LdrpInitialize+0x171 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 ntdll!KiUserApcDispatcher+0x7 And here are the exiting threads: c18: ---- 0e0dfe70 77f43741 77f5d64e 00000330 00000000 SharedUserData!SystemCallStub+0x4 0e0dfe74 77f5d64e 00000330 00000000 00000000 ntdll!ZwWaitForSingleObject+0xc 0e0dfeb0 77f42044 00000330 77f7c658 77fc2340 ntdll!RtlpWaitForCriticalSection+0x126 0e0dfeb8 77f7c658 77fc2340 00000000 7ffa4000 ntdll!RtlEnterCriticalSection+0x46 0e0dff44 77e57eb3 00000000 0c0bd418 00a87b88 ntdll!LdrShutdownThread+0x30 0e0dff7c 77bc917d 00000000 77bc91f3 00000000 kernel32!ExitThread+0x41 0e0dff84 77bc91f3 00000000 00000000 00000000 msvcrt!_endthreadex+0x25 0e0dffb8 77e4a990 00a87b88 00000000 00000000 msvcrt!_endthreadex+0x9b 0e0dffec 00000000 77bc917e 00a87b88 00000000 kernel32!BaseThreadStart+0x34 9cc: ---- 0e1dfe70 77f43741 77f5d64e 00000330 00000000 SharedUserData!SystemCallStub+0x4 0e1dfe74 77f5d64e 00000330 00000000 00000000 ntdll!ZwWaitForSingleObject+0xc 0e1dfeb0 77f42044 00000330 77f7c658 77fc2340 ntdll!RtlpWaitForCriticalSection+0x126 0e1dfeb8 77f7c658 77fc2340 00000000 7ffa3000 ntdll!RtlEnterCriticalSection+0x46 0e1dff44 77e57eb3 00000000 0b2e6c48 0b38b590 ntdll!LdrShutdownThread+0x30 0e1dff7c 77bc917d 00000000 77bc91f3 00000000 kernel32!ExitThread+0x41 0e1dff84 77bc91f3 00000000 00000000 00000000 msvcrt!_endthreadex+0x25 0e1dffb8 77e4a990 0b38b590 00000000 00000000 msvcrt!_endthreadex+0x9b 0e1dffec 00000000 77bc917e 0b38b590 00000000 kernel32!BaseThreadStart+0x34 I can provide further information if it is needed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Scenario B - the "what happened to the malloc lock?" scenario ---------- As in scenario A, the work library thread which called CreateProcess has successfully waited on the process to exit.

I am seriously thinking that this is system related. I've noticed that there have been some deadlock related fixes for wldap32.dll, including a recent hotfix that postdates the release of Windows 2003. I'm wondering if this would fix our problem? I eagerly await any new ideas on this issue! I am pretty much out of them at this point. If I can provide further information on this, please ask. Thanks for reading!

    - Can rebasing affect correctness of information in the map file generated before? Hi everybody For some strange reasons offsets in dlls loaded into memory do not match those, mentioned in map file. We suspect that this happens due to automatic rebasing of all the binary modules involved in workspace at the end of complete build of all the projects. Can this possibly be the case and how to avoid it? It looks like order of some sections is changed. Quite often offsets exceed the last offset mentioned in the map file. We generate map file with options /map /MAPINFO:LINES /MAPINFO:EXPORTS during building of a particular project. Rebasing is made after all the projects were built and involves all the modules that will be loaded: rebase.exe -b 0x60060000 [module ...] Kind regards, Antonio Tag: Force the linker to include referenced libs Tag: 232682

When I build a static lib how can I force the linker to include other lib
modules or at least the symbols that are used in my libs?

I am specifying the libs that contain the symbols in the "librarian" but
when I link that resulting lib somewhere else, these symbols are not
resolved.

Ok, I found the solution. I put the missing symbols in the /INCLUDE of the
linker for the lib.

But now I get the following:

netapi32.lib(NETAPI32.dll) : warning LNK4006: __NULL_IMPORT_DESCRIPTOR
already defined in ws2_32.lib(WS2_32.dll); second definition ignored
rpcrt4.lib(RPCRT4.dll) : warning LNK4006: __NULL_IMPORT_DESCRIPTOR already
defined in ws2_32.lib(WS2_32.dll); second definition ignored
Iphlpapi.lib(iphlpapi.dll) : warning LNK4006: __NULL_IMPORT_DESCRIPTOR
already defined in ws2_32.lib(WS2_32.dll); second definition ignored

can I ignore these warnings? How can I tell the linker what to do. And
what should I best tell.

thanks
