    - 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!

    - Using excel automation with a namespace I am doing Excel automation. If I include the .h file for Excel in a .h file as below I get error messages like: error C2011: '_Application' : 'class" type redefinition. _Application is an Excel class defined in excel9.h. #include "..\eserver\excel9.h" // needed for excel Thinking that this name conflicted with another name I wrapped the excel.h with a namespace as below to avoid the conflicts. namespace excel { #include "..\eserver\excel9.h" // needed for excel } This produces errors like: error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "public: struct IDispatch * __thiscall excel::_Application::GetWorkbooks (void)" (?GetWorksbooks@_Application@excel@@QAEPAUIDispatch@@XZ) referenced in function "public: bool __thiscall CPrintOrder::custom_order_form_create_pages_excel(void)"(?custom_order_form_ create_pages_excel@CPrintOrder@@QAE_NXZ) If I put the excel.h include in a .cpp file it compiles and links fine. I prefer it to be in the .h file because I want to share a structure that contains Excel objects in it. What is causing the problems with the type redefinitions? If I use the namespace excel why is the linker objecting to that and how do I get around it? =================================================== Zachary Hilbun Software Consultant http://www.vianova.com Via Nova OpenGL, Open Inventor 3D products, Windows 95/NT Dallas, Texas VC++, C#, embedded systems, VxD's 1977 SSII SRX31185 G30 Tag: coloring controls Tag: 232827

    - 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. Regards, Soumitra. Tag: coloring controls Tag: 232826

    - 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? What it's happening? How can I resolve it? Here it's the code that I use: if (!RevertToSelf()) return false; // Get the current process token handle... if( !OpenProcessToken( GetCurrentProcess(), TOKEN_ADJUST_PRIVILEGES | TOKEN_QUERY, &hToken )) return false; if (!SetPrivilege(hToken, SE_TCB_NAME, true)) return false; if (LogonUser(szUsername, szDomain, szPassword, LOGON32_LOGON_INTERACTIVE, LOGON32_PROVIDER_DEFAULT, &hAdminUser)) bUserAuth = true; else bUserAuth = false; if (bUserAuth) { if (!ImpersonateLoggedOnUser(hAdminUser)) MessageBox(NULL, TEXT("Inpersonate Error"), TEXT(""), MB_OK); ///////////////////////////////////////////////// if (DuplicateTokenEx(hAdminUser, MAXIMUM_ALLOWED, 0, SecurityImpersonation, TokenPrimary, &hAdminPriv) == 0) MessageBox(NULL, TEXT("duplicate token Error"), TEXT(""), MB_OK); if (!SetPrivilege(hAdminPriv, SE_ASSIGNPRIMARYTOKEN_NAME, true)) { MessageBox(NULL, TEXT("SetPrivilege Error"), TEXT(""), MB_OK); return false; } if (!SetPrivilege(hAdminPriv, SE_INCREASE_QUOTA_NAME, true)) { MessageBox(NULL, TEXT("SetPrivilege Error"), TEXT(""), MB_OK); return false; } TCHAR szRes[MAXSTRINGLEN]; STARTUPINFO si; PROCESS_INFORMATION pi; ZeroMemory( &si, sizeof(si) ); si.cb = sizeof(si); ZeroMemory( &pi, sizeof(pi) ); my_strcpy(szRes, TEXT("C:\\Archivos de programa\\Inquiero Installable ISD\\prova.exe")); if (!CreateProcessAsUser(hAdminPriv, NULL, szRes, NULL, NULL, TRUE, DETACHED_PROCESS|IDLE_PRIORITY_CLASS, NULL, NULL, &si, &pi)) { TCHAR szError[MAXSTRINGLEN]; wsprintf(szError, TEXT("%d"), GetLastError()); MessageBox(NULL, szError, TEXT(""), MB_OK); } } Tag: coloring controls Tag: 232817

    - 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? I need to get this code to work with both compilers. Thanks Pierre Tag: coloring controls Tag: 232812

    - get a window handle from an Instance handle Hi, I got some difficulties in getting a window handle from an instance handle in Win32 API/C. I used the approach stated in the knowledge base article 242308 -- how to find a window handle from an instance handle, but I found nothing even though I went through the whole window (TOP level windows) handles. I found the instance handle is a 9-digit long integer, and the other process IDs returned by GetWindowThreadProcessId are only three or four digits long. Is it normal? I appreciate your any ideas!

    - Template template argument I am sorry if this has been asked before, I couldn't find it right away, that's why I'm posting here. This code: --------------------- template <typename NumType, template <typename T> class DerivedType> class Matrix { public: NumType operator()( const int row, const int col ) const; NumType& operator()( const int row, const int col ); }; template <typename NumType> class GeneralMatrix : public Matrix<NumType, GeneralMatrix> { public: GeneralMatrix(int,int) {} }; int main() { GeneralMatrix<double> matrix(3,3); matrix(1,1) = 2.0; } ---------------------- VC++ 7.1 refuses to compile complaining about the use of 'GeneralMatrix' as the second argument to 'Matrix' in the template definition. Is that a [known] bug or am I missing something? The situation came up while I was answering a question about operator(), not about template template arguments, but still... Thanks.

    - 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: coloring controls Tag: 232717

    - 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.

As I mentioned before, this code has been working perfectly on Windows uniprocessor systems for more than a year now. The only variable is the multiprocessor environment. 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: coloring controls Tag: 232682

Swapping with an empty vector, clearing the vector, resizing it to 0, all are good attempts to accomplish what you need, but the Standard makes no promises WRT the memory allocation behaviour.

Hi everybody, Is there any rule or principle based on which one can decide which interfaces from those supported by the object to include into coclass definition and which not?

    - DLL with imports that should be used from different mainprogr Dear Gurus, I am on MSDEV 6.0 working from the command line. My Code is C Code. I am trying to generate a DLL that imports symbols from a main program. The DLL should be used by different main programs that all export the same symbols. The usual approach, if the DLL is only used by one main program would be to simply link the DLL against the export library of the main program. However if I do exactly that, then the other main programs will crash with the DLL when the DLL calls functions from the main program. (the reason being that the dll has somehow incorporated the name of the main program of which the symbols were imported at DLL link time). So how can I properly create a DLL that imports symbols from the main program without telling the DLL anything else then the names of the symbols that will be imported? And how can I tell the DLL the imported symbolnames without using the export lib of a main program? thank you very much for any insights Wolfgang Tag: coloring controls Tag: 232657

    - array of handles arithmetic C, win32, VC7 Suppose I have an array of handles, like this: HANDLE* thread_handle; int max_threads; ... max_threads=256; ... thread_handle=calloc(max_threads, sizeof(*thread_handle)); if (thread_handle==NULL) return 1; There are more handles than a function like WaitForMultipleObjects can use. http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/dllproc/base/waitformultipleobjects.asp The handles may point to threads that have already done _endthreadex(0), there are never more than 64 threads in existence at the same moment. Threads are usually short lived (they wait for a UDP network answer). The maximum amount of thread handles is 64, but there may be up to 256 used. Is it possible to point to the 65th, 129th, 193th handle and run that function again? You can do this with strings because they are contiguous array of bytes, but does it work the same way with handles? May be I'm doing something stupid here, help is appreciated.

I don't have any code, but look into button styles, namely BS_BITMAP
value. If you set it, you can (and will have to if you want to see
anything) set a bitmap for that button. The bitmap could be created
from a file, a gif file is probably one of those that can be used.

Also, look at BS_OWNERDRAW style bit, which allows you to do anything
you want when time comes to draw the button. It's a bit more involved
than BS_BITMAP, but gives you more freedom.

See the documentation or your favourite book on Windows programming.
