    - Binary Compatibility Question We have an application that was written using VS6. It uses a number of DLL type extensions and we need to write a new extension. We no longer support VS 6 in our development lab and would like to know if a DLL (written in "C") and built in VS.NET 2003 will be compatible with the VS application.

    - dynamic_cast is shite! dynamic_cast doesn't return the correct values: e.g. in my project I have a lot of classes, say A, B, C, D - D being the most derived, A being base - if I put printf(this) in the constructors of them they all get different values, e.g. A will be 0x12fec0, B will be 0x12fec4, C will be 0x12fec8, D will be 0x12fecc, ..etc. I thought this was supposed to happen, but if I have an A* called "pa" (knowing myself that it is also a D*) if I do void test(A* pa) { D* pd = dynamic_cast<D*>(pa); // then d ends up as 0x12fec0, NOT 0x12fecc as I was hoping! } I tried to build a test project to demonstrate but in that all the constructors printed the same values! Help! And yes I have got multiple inheritance, I have also got virtual inheritance. Tag: handling text files Tag: 246698

    - GetFileVersionInfo() I am trying to get various information about the version of a file in order to determine that it is the correct file. I have one working implementation, but I also need to generalize the code a bit in order to use it in a related project. The generalized code works exactly the same way as the non-generalized code with a couple exceptions, but I am running into an error with the GetFileVersionInfo(). Here's a sample: INT Validate(std::string _file, lpData _info) { LPVOID Data; DWORD dwLength; DWORD dwEmpty; dwLength = GetFileVersionInfoSize(_file.c_str(),&dwEmpty); if (!dwLength) return -1; Data = (LPVOID) malloc(dwLength+1); if (!Data) return -2; memset(Data,0,dwLength+1); if (!GetFileVersionInfo(_file.c_str(),NULL,dwLength,&Data)) { free(Data); return -3; } ... } The lpData is a structure containing the information I want to verify about the file. My problem is that the pointer is no longer valid after I call the GetFileVersionInfo(). I checked at run-time by watching the pointers - the 'Data' and '_info' pointers are valid before I call it, but then when it returns (it does not go into the body of the if-block), the values are invalid and cause a crash. E.g. the following: Before After Valid Invalid _info = 0x0012f2b4 --> 0x00050000 Data = 0x00fd7be0 --> 0x0034037c As I said before, I have another version that works just fine. Am I doing something wrong? I pretty much copy-pasted the code. TIA, Tag: handling text files Tag: 246694

    - Reading the system time Hi, Is there a way to read the time so that: 1. If the PC is connected to the Windows Server (NT/2000 or 2003) then read the server time. 2. If the PC is a thin client and connected to the server through the Citrix Server then read the server time. 3. If the PC is NOT connected to the Windows Server (NT/2000 or 2003) then read the local time. Thanks. Regards, Sandford Tag: handling text files Tag: 246677

    - Linking error when using multiple forms and #include<afxinet.h> Hello! I am developping a Visual C++ .NET multiple forms application, which uses FTP connection. When I use more than one form, and include the <afxinet.h> library (necessary for FTP connection), the linker errors occur: error LNK2005: "void * __cdecl operator new(unsigned int)"(??2@YAPAXI@Z) already defined in LIBCMTD.lib(new.obj) error LNK2005: "void __cdecl operator delete(void *)" (??3@YAXPAX@Z) already defined in LIBCMTD.lib(dbgdel.obj) fatal error LNK1169: one or more multiply defined symbols found In order to be clearer, I'll tell the simple steps to create the error: I create a Windows Form C++ .NET application; add a new form (add element->new form); simply include the <afxinet.h> in the Form1. Ok, if you try to run the application, it will. Now, just close the Visual Studio, open everything again, do a NEW compilation, and try to run. (!!!) That's the error! That's why I think it could be a bug of the Visual Studio... Thus, I can just work with FTP connection and only ONE form. We tried the MSDN help, that tells to ignore the library (LIBCMTD.lib), but this causes other link errors. We tried everything we could. If somebody could help me anyway I thank very much.

    - Need help in Including/converting C files in C++ project Hello, I've a few C files in hand containing functions that can be used to convert a string into MD5 hash string. When I tried to include the c sources and header files to the project, a lot of errors and warnings comes out. The c files can be compiled and run successfully when placed in a standalone project. (with "Project Properties"->"Advanced"->"Compile to" set to "C executables" of course, and compile option "-DMD=5" to specify the MD marco) So I think the sources are Okay. Would anyone please give me a pointer on how to "include the files in C++ project"/"convert these C files to C++ sources"? A second question is: If I included the files, would it be right to just specify the "-DMD=5" in the project properties, or I should specify it elsewhere? Thanks a lot. Regards, Lau Lei Cheong -- If you want to mail to me, please replace all instance of "e" to "a" in my email address. Thank you. Sorry for any inconvience caused, but there's many spam-mailers.

    - switching stdout to a file /* The MSDN Library 10/2001 gives this example for the use of dup()/dup2() to make "stdout" refer to a program-determined file and then restores it NOTE: All error checking deleted for "clarity" Also, the type and arguments of main are not proper either (that's the way it was there) */ #include <io.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <stdio.h> void main( void ) { int old; FILE *new; old = _dup( 1 ); /* "old" now refers to "stdout" */ /* Note: file handle 1 == "stdout" */ new = fopen( "data", "w" ); /* stdout now refers to file "data" */ _dup2( _fileno( new ), 1 ); puts( "This goes to file 'data'\r\n" ); fclose( new ); /* Restore original stdout */ _dup2( old, 1 ); } /* BUT I'd like to know what's wrong with using this method instead */ void main(void) { FILE *savestdout = stdout; stdout = fopen( "data" , "w" ); ... fclose( stdout ); stdout = savestdout; } TIA Norm Tag: handling text files Tag: 246649

But if u compile this program and get th ASM file you can see the registers . I dont think the assembly code i the ASM file specifies the virrtual addr ess. So perhaps for paging th ASM code is converted to EXE file. I am not s ure if this is wha happens. I want to know if it is true. And the stack is not like thi as you have mentioned. [Function 1 Vars] [Stack Pointer] [Func tion Vars] [Stack Pointer] [Function 3 Vars] [Stack Pointer] But as far as know it is like first the invironment varriables are pushed into th stack. then the global values and then the main and other functions Well main is replaced by other functions which are found in th crt0.cpp f ile.

    - Can't get VS to convert a dynamic link library to static library. I have a 'C' project that is a Win32 DLL project that I am trying to convert to a static library. I removed the all instances of the DLL on my hard drive to make sure that I was linking with the new static library instead of running with the DLL. I am compiling this library VS.NET 2003. I have changed the VC compiler option under the General tab to Static Library. The project compiles find and builds the .LIB file as expected. No DLL file is generated either, which is also what is expected. I am able to link the .LIB file into my EXE with no errors. However, when I try to run the EXE, I get an error stating that the DLL file for the library that I built cannot be found. I don't understand why the LIB file is still trying to run as a DLL instead of a static library. I have checked and double checked for any errant files that may be linked in, and cannot figure out what is wrong. I have checked the DEF file for any LIBRARY directives. I even checked the RC file for any DLL file references. I can't see any reason why the thing is still behaving like a DLL. Can someone give me any advice on what to do here? -- ----------------------------------- Ken Varn Senior Software Engineer Diebold Inc.

    - Very bad crashes when debugging with Spy++ I have experienced a scenario whereby I experience very bad crashes, when using Spy++. When this crash occurs, not only one program crashes but the whole system hangs - even Ctrl+Alt+Del doesn't do anything. The only thing to do is press the motherboard reset switch. I experience it when debugging while also using Spy++. I tried to reproduce it using a blank "hello world" app rather than my own and it didn't do it, so it must be something about my app, but there are no other symptons of it so it seems strange that it should only affect Spy++, I wondered whether anyone else had seen it nonetheless? Also worthy of note is that this still occurs if my app has only ever had one main thread. Steps taken to reproduce the crash: 1) Start VS.NET, and run windows application under debugger by starting with F5. 2) Start Spy++, and spy on the application's window. 3) Close the application. (Closes without exception and returns to the IDE correctly) 4) Press F5 again (not necessarily having recompiled) to try to start the app again - and crash! The app never starts, the system is from that point on doomed, and will respond to absolutely nothing other than a hardware reset. It doesn't do it if I close down Spy++ between steps (3) and (4) - I can then start it up again and continue spying. My guess is that when spying (as in step (2)), Spy++ has acquired some kind of low-level hook to the application, and when it closed down, managed to get its claws into the IDE because it was its parent process and somehow this has blocked some very low-level function.

    - Load a ICON in a Button hello i've having a bit of a problem with loading a Icon in a Button. Basicaly I got a Dialog resource with a button on it. And with the "property bag" of the button i set it to "Icon" Then I load the icon like so : ( i make sure the button is 16x16) HWND hbut2 = GetDlgItem(IDC_BUTTON2); ::SetWindowPos(hbut2, NULL, 0, 0, 16, 16, SWP_NOMOVE); HICON icon = LoadIcon(_Module.GetResourceInstance(), MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDI_ICON4)); ::SendMessage(hbut2, (UINT)BM_SETIMAGE, (WPARAM)IMAGE_ICON, (LPARAM)icon); Now for some reason, the button loads the Icon 32x32 =/ I made the icon myself and made sure the Icon is 16x16. So is it the LoadIcon API that loads the icon as 32x32 or is it the Button that cannot accept icons smaller then 32x32 ? ok thanks for you input =] Tag: handling text files Tag: 246528

I know I can access these without the wrappers but that just seems stupid. Probably I need to make a minor modifications on how I use the smart pointer but I am at a loss for what that would be.

    - COM - Should interfaces be marshalled when passing between threads Hi, My understanding is that you dont need to marshal interface pointers between threads of a process when they are all in a Multi Threaded Apartment (all threads in the process call CoInitializeEx(NULL, COINIT_MULTITHREADED)). I am getting apparently conflicting advice from some pages - here are a couple of snippets: 1) From "http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/1100/wicked/" Passing a raw interface pointer (a 32-bit address in memory) to another thread without marshaling it bypasses COM's concurrency mechanism, and can produce all sorts of undesirable behavior if the sending and receiving threads reside in different apartments. (In Windows® 2000, because two objects can share an apartment but reside in different contexts, it can even get you in trouble if the threads are in the same apartment.) 2) From "http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=150777" Multi-threaded Apartment model (MTA): ... Interfaces are not marshaled between threads. Thanks for this and past help, David. Tag: handling text files Tag: 246487

    - vtable help needed for RTTI solution Hello I have made the following code to give me custom run-time type information because the standard RTTI doesn't give me what I want, i.e. it doesn't seem to be able to compare two objects and give a definitive boolean, yes or no answer as to whether the first either is, or is derived from, the second (but not the other way round, i.e. fn(D*,B*) must return true; but fn(B*, D*) false.) (I can't think how this is possible using standard RTTI - if it is please demonstrate a replacement for my _tmain function that accomplishes the same thing...) I'm quite happy with the code, as it seems to work in the way that I want, *but* it does involve a bit of work in two places and it's largely the second of these I'm looking for the sort of trickery I know only you experts are capable of... you might find it easier to compile it first to see what it does, then read it, rather than the other way round... 1) I need to explicitly specify getsingleid for every class that I want to derive from IRegable (I'm not too fussed about this, as I've got used to the idea of including a special header file containing a list of the instantiations at the bottom of the template's cpp file) 2) I need to override getid(bool) for *every* class that I want to derive from IRegable - implementing it isn't *too* time consuming in its logic - as for each class I implement it for, I only have to look at the classes it directly implements aswell as its own name to write its implementation, but my main worry is forgetting to implement it at all - if I derive a class B from IRegable (and implement getid(bool)) but then derive a class D from B and forget to implement getid(bool), the compiler doesn't complain, and D falls back on B's implementation of getid, giving it the wrong ID, obviously therefore causing fn(B,D) to give a false positive. This bothers me - and I was wondering if it was in some way possible to 'hack into the vtable' in order to accomplish this more elegantly (or not, as the case may be!) I'm really looking for, well, basically some magic way of not having to remember implement getid for every class. But my gut instinct tells me it's possible... is it? If it's not, please tell me! (p.s., it is necessary to have the multiple inheritance and the 'virtual public' thing) (p.p.s., in the real app, '32' might be replaced by something larger depending on how many classes there are.) #include <bitset> #include <string> using namespace std; static int nextid = 0; template<class T> bitset<32> getsingleid() { static bitset<32> retval; if(retval.none()) retval.set(nextid++); return retval; } class IRegable { public: virtual bitset<32> getid(bool bComposite) const = 0; virtual string getname() = 0; static void fn(IRegable* obj1, IRegable* obj2) { if(((obj1->getid(true)) & (obj2->getid(false))).any()) _tprintf(_T(" ... is a %s\n"), (obj2->getname()).data()); else _tprintf(_T(" ... is not a %s\n"), (obj2->getname()).data()); }; ~IRegable() {_tprintf(_T("IRegable object \"%p\" is dying!\n"), (void*)this);} }; class ChildWindow : virtual public IRegable { public: virtual bitset<32> getid(bool bComposite) const {return getsingleid<ChildWindow>();} virtual string getname() {return string(_T("ChildWindow"));} }; class Window : virtual public IRegable { public: virtual bitset<32> getid(bool bComposite) const {return getsingleid<Window>();} virtual string getname() {return string(_T("Window"));} }; class WndProcWindow : public Window { public: virtual bitset<32> getid(bool bComposite) const { return bComposite ? getsingleid<WndProcWindow>() | Window::getid(true) : getsingleid<WndProcWindow>(); } virtual string getname() {return string(_T("WndProcWindow"));} }; class SimpleControl : public ChildWindow { public: virtual bitset<32> getid(bool bComposite) const { return bComposite ? getsingleid<SimpleControl>() | ChildWindow::getid(true) : getsingleid<SimpleControl>(); } virtual string getname() {return string(_T("SimpleControl"));} }; class ComplexControl : public ChildWindow, public Window { public: virtual bitset<32> getid(bool bComposite) const { return bComposite ? getsingleid<ComplexControl>() | ChildWindow::getid(true) | Window::getid(true) : getsingleid<ComplexControl>(); } virtual string getname() {return string(_T("ComplexControl"));} }; int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[]) { { ChildWindow child; Window win; WndProcWindow wndproc; SimpleControl simple; ComplexControl complex; IRegable* objs[] = {&child, &win, &wndproc, &simple, &complex}; for(int i = 0; i < 5; i++) { _tprintf(_T("Object of type %s:\nSimple ID : %s\nComplex ID: %s\nAddress: 0x%p\n"), objs[i]->getname().data(), (objs[i]->getid(false).template to_string<char,char_traits<char>,allocator<char> >()).data(), (objs[i]->getid(true).template to_string<char,char_traits<char>,allocator<char> >()).data(), (void*)(objs[i])); for(int j = 0; j < 5; j++) IRegable::fn(objs[i], objs[j]); } } } Tag: handling text files Tag: 246480

    - STL valarray In the STL documentation for valarray, it states: "These template classes and functions are permitted unusual latitude, in the interest of improved performance. Specifically, any function returning valarray<T> may return an object of some other type T'. In that case, any function that accepts one or more arguments of type valarray<T> must have overloads that accept arbitrary combinations of those arguments, each replaced with an argument of type T'. (Put simply, the only way you can detect such a substitution is to go looking for it.)" Has anybody got an example of what they refer to as 'such a situation', and why does it state any function ..."must have overloads..." - why must it have overloads? What if I want to define a function that returns or takes as argument a valarray<T>, and I define that it will only ever take a valarray<T> as an argument? Thanks Tag: handling text files Tag: 246470

    - CoInitializeEx(), CoUninitialize() and CORBA/threads Hi, My application uses CORBA to communicate between components, and now uses COM to access some libraries (eg. MS XML parser). The problem is that in my server components CORBA automatically creates new threads to run incoming method calls - where should I call CoInitializeEx() & CoUninitialize() for those threads? The only sure fire way to do this is for every method in my CORBA server to call CoInitializeEx() near the start of the method, and CoUninitialize() near the end. However this is not very elegant - and it is an easy thing to forget to call the two functions when new CORBA objects/methods are added (there are already ~30 methods I'd need to change). Any other ideas? Thanks in advance, David. Tag: handling text files Tag: 246446

Well spotted Daniel.

John some advice to you. Go and get yourself a nice beginners book on C++.
Lesson one on programming is always try and work it out for yourself. That
way you learn and retain.

If you can't afford a book then there are dozens of very useful websites
that will help you out no end. Also look at sites like Planet Source Code
and find programs and ideas that seem to be fit in with what you are trying
to do, download the source and see if you can work out how the programmer
did it.

Good Luck
