    - Bug when generating some inlined (intrisic) strcat in vc 7.1 This is very easy to reproduce, just compile the sample code below (C or C++, it doesn't matter) with /O2 or /Ox option. Just adding a #pragma function(strcat) or compiling with /O1 or /Od removes the bug. I didn't try other version of Visual C++ than the one from Visual Studio.NET 2003 Entreprise Edition (french version, from MDSN subscription). Conditions to make this bug happen: 1) an inlined strcat (intrisic) and 2) first parameter of the inlined strcat is a not-inlinable function call returning the destination string pointer and 3) second parameter of the inlined strcat isn't a literal constant string (the inlined strcat must have to do an inlined strlen on it, the optimizer musn't be able to find a constant length). // BEGINNING OF SAMPLE #define WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN #include <windows.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <string.h> // making the variables below global prevent optimizations that "hide" the bug char sz1[256] = "abc"; char sz2[] = ".ghi"; int main (int argc, char **argv) { // lstrcat (below) instead of a second strcat to prevent its inlinning, because // the lstrcat replaces a more complex function from a DLL of mine. // The code generated for the inlined strcat is realy very bad ! strcat(lstrcat(sz1, "def"), sz2); // sz1 is (far) large enough for that // should print "abcdef.ghi" but the lstrcat make an exception ! printf("%s\n", sz1); return 0; } // END OF SAMPLE The generated code (with my comments) is plainly wrong: _main PROC NEAR ; Line 15 ; THE INSTRUCTION BELOW APPEAR TOO SOON push OFFSET FLAT:??_C@_03BHEEIFFN@def?$AA@ ; push second parameter of lstrcat ("def") mov eax, OFFSET FLAT:_sz2 ; get second parameter of strcat ; THE INSTRUCTION BELOW APPEAR TOO SOON TOO push OFFSET FLAT:_sz1 ; push first parameter of lstrcat (sz1) ; inlined strlen(sz2) mov edx, eax $L20160: mov cl, BYTE PTR [eax] inc eax test cl, cl jne SHORT $L20160 ; OOPS, WRONG ! backup ebx/esi AFTER pushing parameters for lstrcat and before ; calling lstrcat ! push ebx push esi sub eax, edx ; end of the inlined strlen(sz2) ; STILL WRONG ! same reason as above push edi ;THIS (WAS ABOVE) SHOULD BE HERE: push OFFSET FLAT:??_C@_03BHEEIFFN@def?$AA@ mov esi, edx ; backup strlen(sz2) value ;THIS (WAS ABOVE) SHOULD BE HERE: push OFFSET FLAT:_sz1 mov ebx, eax ; backup sz2 pointer ; lstrcat below is COMPLETELY LOST with the random values pushed from edi and esi ! ; => exception call DWORD PTR __imp__lstrcatA@8 ; inlined strcat, skip existing chars in the (never) returned pointer to sz1 from lstrcat dec eax $L20161: mov cl, BYTE PTR [eax+1] inc eax test cl, cl jne SHORT $L20161 ; and copy sz2 at the end of sz1 mov ecx, ebx shr ecx, 2 mov edi, eax rep movsd mov ecx, ebx and ecx, 3 ; Line 17 push OFFSET FLAT:_sz1 push OFFSET FLAT:??_C@_03OFAPEBGM@?$CFs?6?$AA@ rep movsb call _printf add esp, 8 pop edi pop esi ; Line 18 xor eax, eax pop ebx ; Line 19 ret 0 _main ENDP Tag: Can I put #ifdef inside a macro with parameters?

    - convert character again Hi again, some day ago I asked how to convert a char and get its unicode value. The proposed solution was to call WideCharToMultiByte/MultiByteToWideChar Now, I'd rather not call the APIs directly, so I thought another solution: the following works perfectly. typedef wchar_t unicode_t; inline unicode_t widen(const char c) { return std::use_facet< std::ctype<wchar_t> > ( std::locale("") ).widen( c ); } My questions: 1) does it work by chance or... by design? is a wchar_t assumed large enough to hold a unicode value? It looks like there ARE some unicode chars whose code is > FFFF if there's a tight relation between wchar_t and unicode values, I think 'ctype::widen' may be assumed to convert to unicode, isn't it? 2) I read in MSDN there's a UTF-8 codepage named "65001". does it mean that std::use_facet< std::ctype<wchar_t> > ( std::locale(".65001") ).widen is able to read UTF-8 and convert to unicode? -- The set of solutions is never empty. Two solutions together form a new problem. -- Mycroft Holmes Tag: Can I put #ifdef inside a macro with parameters? Tag: 228857

    - Strange linker-problem (LNK1179) with a template-function Hello, I have defined a template-function in a header-file, which takes a pointer to a function and a parameter for that function as template-parameter (similiar to STL's for_each): template <class Fun, class Param> void for_each_radio(CSubWindows& subWindows, Fun fun, Param param) { for (int i = 0; i < subWindows.GetRadioCount(); ++i) { (subWindows.GetRadio(i)->*fun) (param); } } The template is 100% correct, I tested it...But the problem is, it only works if I use for_each_radio only once in my code. Else I get the linker error "LNK1179: Invalid or corrupt file: duplicate comdat ...for_each_radio..." It seems like the function will be instantiated twice with the same name because I don't use the /H and /Gy compiler options...How can I solve this horrible problem? of course there are include-guards in the header and I can't put in the code in a cpp (template!)...

    - stuck with what looks like a compiler bug in VS.NET 2003 vs VS.NET 2002 This is going to be a little vague I'm afraid as it's hard for me to provide explicit details without a vast quantity of extra information. I've recently changed compiler from .NET 2002 to .NET 2003. I have a fairly complicated application, which is an ISAPI extension that relies on several other rather large projects (Xalan, Xerces, ICU, boost). At some point, i'm at the bottom of a pretty deep call stack, and I throw an exception which travels up a lot of it. It seems that in one particular module, a couple of the functions don't manage to unwind the call stack properly -- it always crashes in either of these two functions during the unwind sequence. It's 100% reproducible with .NET 2003 and 100% not reproducible with .NET 2002, and depending on how I've been tinkering with the code, always crashes in the same place. I've tried sprinkling some extra try () { } catch (...) { throw; } blocks around various parts of these functions. The result is that I can make the problem go away, presumably by generating different unwind code. Oh, and this only happens with a release build. Normally I'd claim responsibility for mashing memory rather than pointing at the compiler, but in the case, the application (and those things that it relies on) have been proved to be very stable. I can also make this happen with a wide variety of initial conditions (effectively doing things that would drastically change the pattern of memory allocations up to that point), pageheap /full doesn't spot anything, and if I _don't_ throw the exception, then things all work as expected, even to the point of being able to conduct stress tests that previously passed. I realise that this is a bit of a long shot, but if anyone could offer any advice on what to try or look for to be certain as to what is going on that would be great. The application is open source, so if anyone has a great deal of spare time then it should be possible to recreate it locally. I'm out of ideas other than reading the compiler generated assembly at the moment (which isn't an easy task as my asm is a bit rusty these days). If it comes to it, I guess I'll have to drop back a compiler version, which would be a pity. Thanks, Mark Tag: Can I put #ifdef inside a macro with parameters? Tag: 228791

    - is STL in msvc 6.0 (sp5) thread safe Hi there! We have app server written in C++ (stl is used a lot). And we use Visual C++ 6.0 compliler to built it. App is not stable when it is heavy loaded. It eather crashes or some static data in it becomes corrupted (so server stops doing his duties). We put some stuff from server into a test and with a lot of threads doing subset of usual servers work. And test crashes within minute or so. 40 threads are intensively doing allocation, populating and freeing containers such as std::map and std::set. Threads write only to their own (private) containers and there are some shared containers that are only read (via find method). So the question is: are stl containers such as std::map and std::set in VC6.0 thread safe in mentioned manner? And if they ar not - where to find the fix? --- With best wishes, Kirill. * ...chasing dreams... Tag: Can I put #ifdef inside a macro with parameters? Tag: 228788

    - loading bitmaps from files Hello all, I'm writing a programme which needs to load bitmap files (*.bmp) from disk and then access the raw pixel data. I'd like an easy way to get that raw data as one plane, 32 bits per pixel. Right now I'm using LoadImage() to get the file and then two calls to GetDIBits(). The first call is to get the BITMAPINFO structure data so I know how big a buffer to allocate for the pixel data, and the second call actually gets the raw data. hbmp = (HBITMAP)::LoadImage(NULL, lpszFile, IMAGE_BITMAP, 0, 0, LR_LOADFROMFILE); memset(&bmi, 0, sizeof(BITMAPINFO)); bmi.bmiHeader.biSize = sizeof(bmi.bmiHeader); rc = ::GetDIBits(::GetDC(NULL), hbmp, 0, 0, NULL, &bmi, DIB_RGB_COLORS); m_pclrBits = (COLORREF *)calloc(bmi.bmiHeader.biWidth * bmi.bmiHeader.biHeight, sizeof(COLORREF)); rc = ::GetDIBits(::GetDC(NULL), hbmp, 0, bmi.bmiHeader.biHeight, m_pclrBits, &bmi, DIB_RGB_COLORS); Currently my programme just assumes that the raw pixel data will always be 32bpp with only one plane, but I just don't know if that is the case. ::GetDC(NULL) returns the root (desktop) window, which on my computer is 32bpp, but it might not be on a different machine and for all I know GetDIBits() might "translate" the raw data into however many bits/pixel and planes the root window is using. Would I be better off using ::GetBitmapBits even though the MSDN library says that is an obsolute function? Is there a way to ensure that the raw data is _always_ 32bpp and in a single plane? I'd rather not have to write code to take number of colour planes, bits per pixel and the colour table and translate "by hand" the raw data into 32bpp. Too many variations/combinations, too much wasting time. :-P I'd prefer to write all the code myself, rather than downloading some third-part toolkit which woud probably have more function than I need. Thanks in advance. P.s. Is there no function to write bitmap data to a *.bmp file? I found the basic structure of a *.bmp file in the MSDN library help files, so if I had to I could hack up a *.bmp file writer, but I'd rather not. Is there a SaveImage() companion to LoadImage() that I could just pass an HBITMAP handle to? -- Cory Albrecht http://cory.doesntexist.com/ "Star Trekkin' across the universe!

    - Error With Structures I have the following code in VC6: typedef struct SS1 { int a; int b; int c; } Struct1; void Test() { const NUM_STRUCTS=1; Struct1 *pS; Struct1 *pA; int ndx=0; pA=(Struct1*)malloc(NUM_STRUCTS*sizeof(Struct1)); for(ndx=0;ndx<NUM_STRUCTS;ndx++) { pS=pA+(ndx*sizeof(Struct1)); pS->a=101; pS->b=202; pS->c=303; } // end for for(ndx=0;ndx<NUM_STRUCTS;ndx++) { pS=pA+(ndx*sizeof(Struct1)); cout<<"\n*"<<pS->a; cout<<"\n*"<<pS->b; cout<<"\n*"<<pS->c; } // end for free(pA); } // The code works fine if NUM_STRUCTS is 1, but causes an assert error if NUM_STRUCTS is greater than one. I'm sure it is something simple, but I can't figure it out. Thanks in advance. -- Chip Pearson Tag: Can I put #ifdef inside a macro with parameters? Tag: 228701

    - Is the rand() known to be buggy? It repeat same value after 349 iterations! I am issuing the srand(1) statement before every time I use rand() in a for(;;) loop sequence. Consistently, the value 4313, that showed up in iteration 340, repeat itself in the 349th iteration ! If it would be a true random generator, and given that it is defined as returning type int, it would use one of the (primitive) generating polynomials of the 15th rank, such that it would guarantee not to repeat even once before exhausting all values between 1 and 32767, while 0 is not in the game (different seeds should only impact the order in which these 32767 numbers are generated (and possibly starting with different values)). Anybody have a handy true random generator source code? Thanks Tag: Can I put #ifdef inside a macro with parameters? Tag: 228698

    - URLOpenBlockingStream can't get new data from url until closing application aloha i am using the function URLOpenBlockingStream(...) to get some data from a url and then parsing the data. the problem is that after retrieving the data for the first time, the next time i am trying to pull the data again the data is the same old data from each url and i cant get a new data from the url until i am opening the browser and refresh it or closing and opening the application my code is CString getCurrentVal(CString tasUrl) { ::CoInitialize(0); CComPtr<IStream> pStream ; HRESULT hr = ::URLOpenBlockingStream ( NULL,_T(tasUrl),&pStream,0,NULL ); if (SUCCEEDED(hr) && pStream) { CString html; while(SUCCEEDED(pStream->Read(buffer, size, &bRead)) && bRead > 0){ html += CString(buffer, bRead); ... } ::CoUninitialize( ); } is anyone have any clew ?

FOr example for an enum defined below typedef enum TST1 = 1 TST2 = 10 END_TST = 100 } TST_TYPE If there anyway to do something lik for ( TST_TYPES i; i != END_ST; i++ TST_TYPE tst = TST_TYPES[i] or something similiar?

    - Dealing with folder name with spaces inside Hi, there When encountering folder name with spaces inside, such as C:\Documents and Settings, my system() program will return error. I am using CString strT.Format(_T("%s %s %s"), pszCmd, pszInput, pszOutput), then using system(strT) do the job. I thought it could be solved by adding "" arround those directories. Then I used strT.Format(_T("\"%s\" \"%s\" \"%s\""), pszCmd, pszInput, pszOutput) But it still failed. When I using those strings in Command Prompt, such as "pszCmd" "pszInput" "pszOutput", they works well. So what is the problem, and how to solve it Thanks lot Gary Tag: Can I put #ifdef inside a macro with parameters? Tag: 228687

    - Debug DLL files will only work on one computer Hi, Can anyone tell me why my Debug DLL files will only work on one computer? It seems like i can get it to work on another computer immediately after a recompile, but if i commit it to my CVS server for a while, and someone else downloads the DLL file on another computer, they are unable to use the DLL files.

    - Problem with Local time to System time conversion Hi, Any help would be much appreciated, and here's my problem: I've used the function SystemTimeToTzSpecificLocalTime() to convert a UTC based time to a local time and everything works fine. However,when I try to do the reverse, that is, from a local time back to a UTC time. The function TzSpecificLocalTimeToSystemTime(); is not supported under windows 2000 (only supported on XP/server2003) So I tried the function FileTimeToLocalFileTime() as a work-around but my time is always off by one hour because of daylight saving. Are there any easier alternatives besides making my own timezone conversion routines? Or does it mean that I'll have to implement my own version of TzSpecificLocalTimeToSytemTime() ?

    - forced to old C Hi all, I am currently using a working sample of an app that I intend to use as my foundation for something else. When I compile this sample I obtain a clean compile. However, when I intend to integrate with code that supposedly should be supported (as to define a variable anywhere in a function), it does not let me it forces me to declare the variable at the beginning of the function. I've tried to look at the project settings to see what is that is configured, but I do not see anything that forces this app to use traditional C syntax (i.e. I checked the compiler switches). Can anybody there suggest what can be happening? Thanks, Carlos. Tag: Can I put #ifdef inside a macro with parameters? Tag: 228670

    - convert character Hi, I hope the question is not too off-topic... Is there any function in VC7.1 or any SDK which... 1) ...converts a 8-bit char to the corresponding 16-bit unicode value, using some given codepage? 2) ...does the reverse when possible? for example, if I run charmap.exe I see "Euro sign", U+20AC (0x80) which is exactly what I need. -- The set of solutions is never empty.

    - VC7.1 - put debug info in .exe not .pdb In VC6, when building an debug .exe, the linker switch /pdb:none (combined with /debug and the /Z7 compile switch) put all the debug info into the .exe itself and no .pdb file was created I believe I may have read somewhere that this is no longer possible in VC7.1 i.e. when building a debug exe I am forced to have the debug info in a .pdb file. I have certainly been unable to manage it so far, I always end up with my debug info in a .pdb file despite trying many different compiler/linker switch combinations. Is it true that VC7.1 no longer supports this ? If not, what are the magic words in order get the debug info into the exe and not create a .pdb file Thank Andy Tag: Can I put #ifdef inside a macro with parameters? Tag: 228658

I am writing a macro like this

#define MACRO(a,b) #ifdef _DEBUG a+b #endif
But on compiling I get 2 errors : "Expected macro formal parameters
It seems to me that compiler is interpreting #ifdef and #endif as macro parameters
Any workaround for this problem? Or can we put precompilers inside a c++ macro

No.. instead use

#ifdef _DEBUG
#define MACRO(a,b) a+b
#endif

> #define MACRO(a,b) #ifdef _DEBUG a+b #endif

No, you can't. The block inside #ifdef and #endif must be in new lines. Why
don't you do this:

#ifdef _DEBUG
#define MACRO(a,b) a+b
#else
#define MACRO(a,b)
#endif

In release your MACRO will do nothing, but the compiler knows it.
