    - Managed code into project using unmanaged code Hello Everybody, I am developing a managed lib (using Microsoft Web Services) and I am including it into a c++ project. The project doesn't use /clr optionk, so when I include my linbrary's header file vs 2005 show me an error saying I have to use /clr option. Doing this I have a incompatibility with /EHs command line option (error D8016), but changing from EHs to no exception handling I obtain a huge ammount of error from all other previously working included libs. Any suggestion is welcome. Thank you in advance. Daniele Tag: tutorial help Tag: 278292

    - function lookup class A { virtual void Test(void*) { } }; class B : public A { virtual void Test(void*, void*) { } }; void main() { B test; test.Test(0); } this code doesn't compile: test.cpp(18) : error C2660: 'B::Test' : function does not take 1 arguments Why? Test(void*) is a member of the base class of B, so why the compiler can't find it? Thank you very much. -- Alessandro Vergani Tag: tutorial help Tag: 278280

    - vc6 exceptions not caught by vs2005 Hi, My application has a small JNI piece written in C++. This piece was developed using VC++ 2k5. We statically link with some .lib's which were built using vc6. I see that exceptions thrown by some api's in these .lib's are not getting caught but are causing the app to crash. When this code was "ported" to vc6 this wasn't observed. It so happens we also support HPUX n Solaris n it works fine there too. Why's this happening? Any workarounds? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Tag: tutorial help Tag: 278270

    - enormous library size I have a big header file.(produced by some code-generation tool) ,that contains some typedefs for class template instatiations and also some structs that are composed of this typedefs(akin to PODs),add in some stl headers and one or two boost headers, so the mere inclusion of the aforementioned header file increases the object file size by some 800kb. I also have lots of source files(hundreds) which are to be compiled into a library that indirectly includes this header file.And it goes like; classA.h ------------ #include "bigHeader.h" class A{ public: const Double1 & getSomeAttribute(); void setSomeAttribute(const Double1& val); private: Double1 someAttribute_; }; classA.cpp ---------- #include "classA.h" //class A implementation classB.h --------- #include "classA.h" class B: public A{ public: void setSomeAttribute(...); ... getSomeAttribute(); private: WorldLocationStruct someAttribute_; ... }; classB.cpp ---------- #include "classB.h" //class B implementation and so on.... Thing is , when i generate the library, linker just packs up the object files and I end up with 800Mb library file that I cannot distribute.So can I prevent the inclusion of this duplicate symbols in the library seeing the objectfile for classB.cpp includes everything classA.cpp has? I tried to strip object files with cygwin utility strip, altohugh it decreased object file size by half, it nowhere near enough good.. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated Tag: tutorial help Tag: 278255

    - MI5 Persecution: Stasi 21/4/96 (16193) Subject: Chief Constable Alderson Condemns "Stasi" MI5 Newsgroups:uk.misc,uk.politics,uk.media,uk.legal,soc.culture.british Organization: Toronto Free-Net Summary: Keywords: John Alderson, former Chief Constable of Devon and Cornwall, had the following to say about the expansion of the Security Service's powers, in a recent magazine article; "It is fatal to let the secret service into the area of ordinary crime. MI5 is not under the same restraints as the police. They infiltrate organisations, people's jobs and lives. They operate almost like a cancer." "At the moment the acorn of a Stasi [the former East German communists' secret service] has been planted. It is there for future governments to build on." The message is clear. Criminal subversion and criminal harassment by an unpoliced minority not subject to the law, "infiltration of people's jobs and lives" is with us today. 16193 Tag: tutorial help Tag: 278245

Reply-To: Green@guidion.demon.co.uk Date: Sun Apr 7 21:13:30 1996 In article <DpIE0r.736.0.bloor@torfree.net> bu765@torfree.net "Mike Corley" writes: > Last Easter (1995) I went into the local police station in London and spoke to > an officer about the harassment against me.

This in itself dos not suggest that the police have it in for you. The old bill operates on extremely tight spending limits forced on them by that pillock Michael Howard, and without evidence, they often have higher priorities than chasing something that cannot go to court. I doubt that the police are actually being leant on, but they probably realise that if they looked into this, they would be leant on hard. The met always stays away from anything that looks like it has Defence, Security or secret service interest already, because they realise that they are below these government agencies in the general pecking order. This attitude was made clear in a TV show where a left wing comedian heckled some aristocratic Tory candidate in a local election. The police officer gave the comic a ticking off, even though you could see that this young copper sympathised with the comedian, and regarded the Tory as an upper-crust wanker. He said, and I quote "I'm giving you the ticking off and not him because he's a Lord and I'm a Police Constable." If I walked into my local nick and complained that MI5 were snooping on me, they would show me the door without even looking at my evidence, because that bored desk seargant with only five years to go before he retires doesn't want to start fucking about with somebody who has incurred the wrath of Stella Rimington. He would rather deal with the lost dogs and driving licence producers, eat his cheese and pickle sandwiches and piss off home at the end of his shift than have some high ranking spook having a go at his boss and getting him a bollocking. In short, you have earned much sympathy but little surprise. Just remember that saying about the enemy of your enemies.

I think the police know well what's going on. It is up to them to do something about it. They know I've made a complaint at a police station.

In this case I think it is 'high-ranking' police officers who are aware of the persecution, they know a complaint has been made, and they're doing nothing. What is more, I don't think there is anything I can do that would make them take action, both because they may be being 'leant on' and through the wider view that it could be deleterious to the state to have a persecution by state organs exposed. They're wrong in taking that point of view, because sooner or later this will all out anyway, and they it will be n years of police inaction (n>=6) that will be questioned. > >In short, you have earned much sympathy but little surprise.

Because ... >So why didn't they just shoot you dead? >It would have been a lot cheaper. I think there are two reasons nobody has taken physical action as opposed to verbal; a) A lot of people "know". Perhaps you the reader might not know, but lots of people in the media etc do. Remember, I was born in the UK and lived there until a couple of years ago. I don't think these people would condone state-sponsored murder of someone who might be seen on a good day as one of their own. b) Rather than doind anything directly, they're going for spying, verbal harassment, media harassment, every form of persecution short of the physical. Because as soon as anything turns physical, the police become involved; and unless it turns physical, the police can shrug and say 'not our problem'. So they persecute you and try to get you to react, either by hitting one of them (in which case I clearly find myself in the wrong as far as the police are concerned), or by trying to harm myself (in which case they can pretend they weren't responsible). It's a pretty unproductive form of harassment actually, because if you don't react then they're wasting they're time. Or perhaps they're just cheap bullies and trying to wreck someone's life, without any ulterior motive? 13165 Tag: tutorial help Tag: 278243

If mail is automatically returned to him, he will return it back to you tenfold. If he is thrown off his account, as he surely will be, he will find another one. I do not care whether Mike Corley has an email account or not. It is a matter of supreme indifference to me whether his fanciful account of persecution is aired or not. If he thinks that he has been persecuted by M15 and Chris Tarrant, then that is a matter for him. But there is a world of difference between repeatedly spamming usenet - which is unacceptable - and setting up a Web Site containing his post, which is entirely acceptable. Then it will be possible to choose whether or not to partake of his fantasy. However although I would not like to see the censorship of posts because they demonstrate evidence of mental illness, I suspect that Mike Corley will inevitably be censored by his ISP following a number of complaints of usenet abuse and mailbombing. ---- David Toube Lecturer in Law QMW, University of London WWW: http://www.qmw.ac.uk/~ugtl027/index.html David Boothroyd's British Elections Home Page WWW: http://www.qmw.ac.uk/~laws/election/home.html 11651 Tag: tutorial help Tag: 278242

Time to come out of the woodwork of this thread (or variations thereof)... I find it annoying that discussion of Mike's situation is spread over multiple threads - it makes it hard to follow, and especially to follow up. If it could be consolidated into one thread on relevant newsgroups (I'm reading this on uk.media btw). I'm a little surprised with the volume of abuse Mike has received, but believe strongly in freedom of speech if such a thing were to exist, which clearly includes abuse as much as anything. One thing which has been missing from this discussion is this simple prognosis: that maybe Mike is right and that, despite his admitted mental condition, there really is a campaign against him organised by now-influential ex-students of his university. Does anyone remember the TV series GBH, a fictional account of security service and governmental power games? Fictional, certainly, but one of the most powerful pieces of TV drama I've seen in many years, fascinating and quite believable, even. The fact is, as Mike has pointed out (oh, so many times :-), that the security services _do_ have the influence, contacts, resources, and time to conduct such a campaign of surveillance and even psychological terror if they so chose. If they have this power, then they will surely use it We still don't have all the facts from Mike, and the most pertinent here I think would be about his time at university - the people who took against him, the ringleaders. We need to know far more about Mike: his political and social affiliations, put in context with his univeristy years, the enemies he made, the reasons people ganged up on him at the very early stages. I don't subscribe to conspiracy theories generally, but I know there is far more that goes on in the universities, old boy's clubs, civil and secret services and Parliament than is ever made public. Mike, I leave it to you to construct a _single_ thread in a relevant newsgroup about this topic and keep to this thread to give us new information and answer questions about your situation.

    - MI5 Persecution: Goldfish and Piranha 29/9/95 (1053) I just thought I'd let you know what I've been reading into the "Crusader" spam. I don't want to post this to usenet because somebody might try to tie that in to my posts in some way (someone already has, in uk.misc). First of all, I'd like to ask you to believe that my phone line in my apartment is bugged, and has been for many months. I have moved a couple of times this year, but "they" have faithfully been on my trail. Anyway, let's suppose my phone line is bugged. Now, when I talk to my internet service provider, it's over a SLIP (now PPP) connection. So if you wanted to bug what was said, either you'd listen in over the line and have to decode the transmission, or you could go to the service provider (more difficult) and ask them to decode a particular user's connection. OK, so now they're listening to everything I do over my SLIP/PPP connection. A couple of months ago I was messing around with faking articles through nntp servers and through anonymous remailers. I chose a nice inconspicuous newsgroup for my little tests, something no-one would ever notice. Guess which newsgroup I chose??? Yes, _FISH_!!! or rec.aquaria to be precise And guess what articles I tried to post? Goldfish, Koi carp and, you'll never guess... PIRANHA!!! The goldfish article and the Koi went through, but the piranha didn';t appear. by now you probably think this is too silly for words. But if you look in the papers a few eeks ago you will find John Major, Tonny Blair and Paddy Ashdown sharing a "private joke" about Major's sunburnt goldfish. We haven't had anything about Koi yet (they must be too dull ). Now, sent by someone who clearly knew what they were doing (they chose an Italian backbone site for their launch point) we have many thousands of messages to people all over the globe. All about piranha, and with the punchline "that gives you something to think about, doesn't it?" The way it works is that they're trying to kill two birds with one stone again. I don't knoiw why they should be against these national alliance people, but my interpretation is that they simultaneously try to discredit them, and stem the flow of Corley articles. ================================================================= In article <DFnE55.8tF.0.bloor@torfree.net>, Mike Corley <bu765@torfree.net> wrote: > >John J Smith (J.J.Smith@ftel.co.uk) wrote: > >: b) we do know who you are.

But at least we're observing a studied silence for now. :People can always be called "MR X", to save them being named. : :I'm completely perplexed as to what you mean by b). Revealing identity? :To who? And why would this be bad for any part of your life when you :already have a less than respectful reputation here? I'll just enumerate one or two things that I can still remember. Sometime around August/Sept 1992 I was living in a house in Oxford, and coming out of the house was physically attacked by someone - not punched, just grabbed by the coat, with some verbals thrown in for good measure. That was something the people at work shouldn't have known about... but soon after a couple of people were talking right in front of me about, "yeah, I heard he was attacked". Again, one I went for a walk in some woods outside Oxford. The next day, at work, someone said "you know he went to the forest yesterday". I don't want to put details on usenet of what happened because to do so would be to risk it happening again. If you put ideas in peoples' heads then you can find them reflecting back at you, and I don't want that. Also I can't remember that much from three years ago. From november 1992 I started taking "major tranquilizers" and just blotted the whole thing from my mind. >This is a feature time and time again, that the security services >(presumed) get at you by manipulating other people around you to get at >you. If you have their contacts, manpower, resources and technology then >you can do that sort of thing. :But why? Are you a threat? They pretend they "have" to get at me. After the first few weeks they had to find a reason to spy and abuse. You can't abuse someone unless they're in the wrong in some way. What I did "wrong" was to be ill. So it became "nutter" and "monster" and "he's going to attack us" coupled with "ha ha ha, he can't do anything to defend himself, it was so funny". That obvious contradiction within their propaganda is something they blithely ignore. :So, the Security Services never *actually* appear, and you assume that :they get someone else to do your dirty work. This is a bit of a big :logical step, here: That person doesn't like me, or is causing me trouble, :it's not because they've got problems themselves, it must be the "Security :Services". Yes. Because people are infallible. Or is there more? A single source is indicated because of the range of harassment. BBC + Capital + manipulated_public_at_large + set_up_situations, what does that add up to? Add in the technology to carry out the covert spying and the manpower and knowhow to follow you around for five years without being spotted. It smells very much of the security services, because there is no other organization (to my knowledge) which does the things I've seen these people do. Remember, they have deliberately chosen the softest of soft targets to victimize. They purposely chose a mentally ill person who they thought would be likely to kill himself anyway, so that they could get away with murder. And in all likelihood it will have started as a personal vendetta by someone. Who could that be? I don't know, but I can give you some clues. The first possibility (deep breath) is that someone from my college set me up. Six years ago I graduated from university in the UK, during the last year there I was steadily getting more and more ill. I know that I was talking in my sleep; although I don't know what I was saying, it got me a reputation, and if someone from my college talked afterwards to the "wrong" people then that could be the reason for all that has followed. I think that's the strongest contender for source. Directly beneath my room lived another bloke who frequently had his friends round late at night, after the time that I went to sleep. So they could have heard what I was saying in my sleep, and that could have got me the reputation for "talking to myself". What I don't know is why that should have rebounded a year after I left. You'd think it would have happened sooner; it's a bit odd to wait for a year and then start abuse. That leads me to question what in particular happened around May/June 1990 for them to start then. >What I don't know is how it looks from the other side, from the side of >the people who are being manipulated to get at me. On a couple of >occasions I have challenged people to tell the truth of the matter, but >they have alwats ducked the challenge. :Have you ever considered the possibility, that you have made a mistake, and :the people don't know what you are talking about? Yes. I am currently considering the possibility that some people around me know only what is being posted on Usenet, and have not been "contacted" by "them". But I _know_ that others have been contacted. :What words? Are they in common use? Could they be a catchphrase of a :popular comedian?: "Nice to see you, to see you nice"? In England the all-time No. 1 is "nutter". Easter this year, returning home from Clapham police station to report five years of harassment ("we're not saying it's happening and we're not saying it isn't happening"), another "not happening" incident of harassment when a cowardly little slut did her country proud by yelling "nutter, nutter, nutter" in the face of the hated enemy. What can you do about that? You can't yell abuse back in their face, because they know they're supported by their peers, by the media, by the murderers in the security forces. You can't put them down when the fascist establishment is on their side. You can't hit them, because they would deny their abuse, they would deny knowing anything, and bring charges against the "nutter" who attacked them "at random". >You know, you're >passing saomeone, they're hardly going to construct an argument for your >benefit, so they work a word of abuse into the conversation which they >can giggle at. :Abuse such as what? We're all adults here, we can take it. Is this abuse :aimed at you? How can you tell it is? I think I've said already what the words are. Thing is, at any given time the language is consistent. In January everyone's calling you X, then a few weeks later people stop calling you X and start calling you Y. You can tell it's aimed at me, because when people repeatedly say the same words are you walk past, then laugh, you would have to be hard of understanding not to recognize it. >Or they repeat something that's been said somewhere else... the PE thing >being a case in point.

The :inference being "Come" = Ejaculation, "Back" = Anus (not the first part :of the body I would have went for, I would have foolishly gone for "Back", :silly old me). : :You see to have picked a sodomy double entendre out of a Private Eye :headline. They are everywhere. The English language has much double :meaning in it, and if you put your mind to it, you could pull a double :entendre out of a randomly chosen page of the bible. So what? >The point is that when Simon pointed it out to Phil, he did recognise >what it meant after a moment's thought... and so did I... and so did the >people who repeated it several times later... so however murky it may >seem to you, that is the meaning they intended it to have... I still don't really know if the meaning was intended when that headline was written, or if it was simply "found" after the fact. The reason I think it might be the former is that I got quite a lot of abuse along the lines of "sound-alike" or "double-entendre" at work, in particularly from Steve. So "double" inevitably came to mean split-personality, "two people in one"; "back" inevitably came to mean "backside", "come" inevitably meant you-know- what, "split" (well, we'd better split now) again you can guess, "bent" (of a similar bent), the list goes on forever. These aren't "nice" double- entendres intended for comedy, they're nasty words to humiliate and cause pain. If I could turn the clock back three years then I would sue my former employers for harassment and I would almost certainly win. I had to take pills after a year of Oxford, so they wouldn't be able to lie their way out of it. Actually, I could still take them to court - the main obstacle being that three years after the fact is a bit late and much of what happened, the details that would be necessary for a case to go to court, has just been obliterated by time. : Smid ============================================== From: flames@flames.cityscape.co.uk (Peter Kr|ger) Newsgroups: uk.misc,soc.culture.british,alt.conspiracy,uk.media,uk.legal Subject: Re: Mike Corley - a (helpful) suggestion Date: Mon Oct 2 05:43:42 1995 In article <812551172snz@objmedia.demon.co.uk>, Snail <snail@objmedia.demon.co.uk> says: >Indeed, I feel that my Usenet access is censored simply because I don't want >to download groups he is partaking in, because of his behaviour. > >I wasn't that bothered, but I am starting to get seriously pissed off >with him.

There was this miniature camera which was designed to fit behind the infrared receiver lens of the remote control system (just beside the IR sensor itself) the camera clocked out the data in 256 lines of 256 pixels from a Fairchild chip and fed it out, a line at a time, into the VBI within the TV set itself. The signal could be picked up remotely from a standard license detector van from where it was stripped out of the surrounding RF signal and relayed back to the TV station where it was displayed as a slowscan monochrome image in a corner of the news readers monitor. 1053 Tag: tutorial help Tag: 278235

    - Scrolling with ScrollWindow and WM_PAINT in Petzold, Chapter 4 - SysMets3 Hello, I'm having a bit of trouble with Charles Petzold's "Programming Windows" 5th Edition, Chapter 4, the "SysMets3" program, specifically in the WM_PAINT handler. It appears to me that his 'for' loop in WM_PAINT needlessly paints 2 lines when called after a WM_VSCROLL SB_LINEUP or SB_LINEDOWN event. For example, if I scroll down one line, and I have ten lines visible in the window (where the window is 200 units and cyChar is 20) the iVertPos becomes 1, and the invalid rectangle top and bottom is 180 and 200 (one line at the bottom). But the 'for' loop begins with iPaintBeg at 10 and iPaintEnd at 11. The first statements in the for loop will set the vertical top to 'y' to be 180 for the last line in the window, and then TextOut vertical position is 180. All is good, but the for loop includes the next line - in this case will be painting from 200 to 220 (beyond the 200 client height). If I understand correctly, this will be clipped. But I don't understand why it is included in the loop - why not just include only the one line that needs to be painted? Obviously I'm missing something, for when I adjust the for loop to paint only one line, my window doesn't get painted correctly when I try scrolling down one line at a time. Any help is much appreciated! Thank you. The complete program and the separate header file are pasted below. Most of the main file, sysmets3.c is basic stuff. thanks, Brian /*---------------------------------------------------- SYSMETS3.C -- System Metrics Display Program No. 3 (c) Charles Petzold, 1998 ----------------------------------------------------*/ #include <windows.h> #include "sysmets.h" LRESULT CALLBACK WndProc (HWND, UINT, WPARAM, LPARAM) ; int WINAPI WinMain (HINSTANCE hInstance, HINSTANCE hPrevInstance, PSTR szCmdLine, int iCmdShow) { static TCHAR szAppName[] = TEXT ("SysMets3") ; HWND hwnd ; MSG msg ; WNDCLASS wndclass ; wndclass.style = CS_HREDRAW | CS_VREDRAW ; wndclass.lpfnWndProc = WndProc ; wndclass.cbClsExtra = 0 ; wndclass.cbWndExtra = 0 ; wndclass.hInstance = hInstance ; wndclass.hIcon = LoadIcon (NULL, IDI_APPLICATION) ; wndclass.hCursor = LoadCursor (NULL, IDC_ARROW) ; wndclass.hbrBackground = (HBRUSH) GetStockObject (WHITE_BRUSH) ; wndclass.lpszMenuName = NULL ; wndclass.lpszClassName = szAppName ; if (!RegisterClass (&wndclass)) { MessageBox (NULL, TEXT ("Program requires Windows NT!"), szAppName, MB_ICONERROR) ; return 0 ; } hwnd = CreateWindow (szAppName, TEXT ("Get System Metrics No. 3"), WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW | WS_VSCROLL | WS_HSCROLL, CW_USEDEFAULT, CW_USEDEFAULT, CW_USEDEFAULT, CW_USEDEFAULT, NULL, NULL, hInstance, NULL) ; ShowWindow (hwnd, iCmdShow) ; UpdateWindow (hwnd) ; while (GetMessage (&msg, NULL, 0, 0)) { TranslateMessage (&msg) ; DispatchMessage (&msg) ; } return msg.wParam ; } LRESULT CALLBACK WndProc (HWND hwnd, UINT message, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam) { static int cxChar, cxCaps, cyChar, cxClient, cyClient, iMaxWidth ; HDC hdc ; int i, x, y, iVertPos, iHorzPos, iPaintBeg, iPaintEnd ; PAINTSTRUCT ps ; SCROLLINFO si ; TCHAR szBuffer[10] ; TEXTMETRIC tm ; switch (message) { case WM_CREATE: hdc = GetDC (hwnd) ; GetTextMetrics (hdc, &tm) ; cxChar = tm.tmAveCharWidth ; cxCaps = (tm.tmPitchAndFamily & 1 ? 3 : 2) * cxChar / 2 ; cyChar = tm.tmHeight + tm.tmExternalLeading ; ReleaseDC (hwnd, hdc) ; // Save the width of the three columns iMaxWidth = 40 * cxChar + 22 * cxCaps ; return 0 ; case WM_SIZE: cxClient = LOWORD (lParam) ; cyClient = HIWORD (lParam) ; // Set vertical scroll bar range and page size si.cbSize = sizeof (si) ; si.fMask = SIF_RANGE | SIF_PAGE ; si.nMin = 0 ; si.nMax = NUMLINES - 1 ; si.nPage = cyClient / cyChar ; SetScrollInfo (hwnd, SB_VERT, &si, TRUE) ; // Set horizontal scroll bar range and page size si.cbSize = sizeof (si) ; si.fMask = SIF_RANGE | SIF_PAGE ; si.nMin = 0 ; si.nMax = 2 + iMaxWidth / cxChar ; si.nPage = cxClient / cxChar ; SetScrollInfo (hwnd, SB_HORZ, &si, TRUE) ; return 0 ; case WM_VSCROLL: // Get all the vertical scroll bar information si.cbSize = sizeof (si) ; si.fMask = SIF_ALL ; GetScrollInfo (hwnd, SB_VERT, &si) ; // Save the position for comparison later on iVertPos = si.nPos ; switch (LOWORD (wParam)) { case SB_TOP: si.nPos = si.nMin ; break ; case SB_BOTTOM: si.nPos = si.nMax ; break ; case SB_LINEUP: si.nPos -= 1 ; break ; case SB_LINEDOWN: si.nPos += 1 ; break ; case SB_PAGEUP: si.nPos -= si.nPage ; break ; case SB_PAGEDOWN: si.nPos += si.nPage ; break ; case SB_THUMBTRACK: si.nPos = si.nTrackPos ; break ; default: break ; } // Set the position and then retrieve it.

    - OpenMP and UI Integration Does anyone have any tips/tricks regarding OpenMP and integrating with the UI. We are beginning to intergrate OpenMP with our existing single threaded MFC application. So far OpenMP has added huge performance gains to our application, with few bugs and few code changes. However I am experiencing issues when OpenMP threads interact with UI objects created in the main thread. The following code crashes the application, It is suppose to just increment a progress control in a CDialog //ctrl set to CProgressCtrl* #pragma omp parallel for private(j) for (i = 1; i <= 50; i++) for ( j = 1; j <= 1000; j++){ #pragma omp critical { counter++; ctrl->SendMessage(PBM_SETPOS, counter, 0L); } } However if I Post a message to the progress bar. //ctrl set to CProgressCtrl* #pragma omp parallel for private(j) for (i = 1; i <= 50; i++) for ( j = 1; j <= 1000; j++){ #pragma omp critical { counter++; ctrl->PostMessage(PBM_SETPOS, counter, 0L); } } the loop completes correctly. However the CProgressCtrl only processes its messages after the parallel for loop has finished. The UI thread seems to get halted when OMP starts the #pragma omp parallel for, and only starts up again after omp is finished. Is there anyway can tell the UI thread to process messages? Does any one have recommendations on interfacing OMP and the UI? Tag: tutorial help Tag: 278212

    - Enter / Leave Critical Section in different threads First, I thought that it was wrong to enter a critical section from one thread and then leave the same critical section from another thread. I wrote a small program and it indicates that there is no error to do so: #include <windows.h> #include <process.h> #include <stdio.h> struct threadparameter { CRITICAL_SECTION *criticalsection; int threadid; }; // enter / leave critical section in different threads void testcriticalsection(void *params){ threadparameter *parameter = (threadparameter*)params; int threadid = parameter->threadid; switch (threadid) { case 0: EnterCriticalSection(parameter->criticalsection); printf("thread %d entered critical section, error code: %d\n", threadid,GetLastError()); Sleep(9000); break; case 1: LeaveCriticalSection(parameter->criticalsection); printf("thread %d left critical section, error code: %d\n", threadid,GetLastError()); Sleep(5000); break; case 2: printf("thread %d enter critical section\n", threadid); EnterCriticalSection(parameter->criticalsection); printf("thread %d entered critical section, error code: %d\n", threadid,GetLastError()); break; } printf("thread %d is done\n", threadid); } int main() { CRITICAL_SECTION criticalsection; InitializeCriticalSection(&criticalsection); printf("testing different thread enter / leave critical section\n"); const int threadcount = 3; threadparameter param[threadcount]; HANDLE th[threadcount]; for (int i = 0; i<threadcount; ++i) { param[i].threadid = i; param[i].criticalsection=&criticalsection; th[i] = (HANDLE)_beginthread(testcriticalsection,0, &param[i]); } Sleep(1000); WaitForMultipleObjects(2, th, TRUE, INFINITE); DeleteCriticalSection(&criticalsection); printf("main exits\n"); return 0; } The first thread call EnterCriticalSection, the second calls Leave and third calls Enter again. If the Leave call in the second thread has no effect (since it doesn't own it), the third thread should be blocked. But it was NOT. If the second thread doesn't call Leave, the third thread IS blocked which is as expected. To prevent critical section become undefined (when its owner thread dies), I put some sleep call in the code (certainly, real application should not use or minimize Sleep). Why a thread doesn't own a critical section could release the lock? Is there something wrong in the code so this is not a valid test? Another issue illustrated in the code is WaitForMultipleObject. The first parameter is the number of objects in handle array. in the above example, the object count should be 3. However, if I put it 3 over there, the call always returns as soon as ONE thread is done. So, my second question is why WaitForMultipleObject doesn't wait for all objects to signal? It is quite possible that the small program has a fundamental fault and hence, above issues are just my fault. In that case, I am eagerly waiting for someone to point it out. Thanks.

    - Need advice on creating COM interfaces Hello! I want to design a plug-in architecture for our application. It will be used to do conversion between data formats. I have the ideas thought out as C++ abstract base classes, and I would like to transfer this to the world of COM. We are currently using VC7.1, mostly in C++. Now I would like to get some tips on how to proceed. I don't have any experience creating COM servers. There seem to be so many options of how to define the interfaces: * Write interfaces in MIDL. This I don't really want to do (complex). * Write classes in C++ and use attributes (this will generate idl for me?) * Write interfaces in a .NET assembly, and #import them into C++. This sounds like the easiest way to get started. It is important that I am able to share our interfaces with 3rd parties that use Visual Studio. Let's say I choose the third option. If I understand correctly, I would distribute the .NET assembly with the interfaces. Anyone can then create COM servers that implement the interfaces. Is this a good way to do it? I will greatly appreciate any recommendations! -- Daniel Tag: tutorial help Tag: 278132

    - C++ 101 dumb question I'm new to C++ and I'm trying to get my head round how memory is managed. Take a look at this:- Class CMyClass { private: char * m_str; public: CMyClass(char * str) { m_str = str; } ~CMyClass(void) { // Do I need to anything with m_str } } function a() { CMyClass ThingInA; ThingInA = b(); } function b() { CMyClass ThingInB("Hello World"); return ThingInB; } If I understand things correctly both ThingInA and ThingInB are allocated off the stack. return in functon b()copies the contents fo ThingInB to ThingInA. Has a constructor been executed for ThingInA before b is executed? There isn't one defined for void. When b returns does a destructor happen for the contents of ThingInA first? Where is the memory to store the "Hello World" string allocated? I guess it's in the module somewhere and is treated as const, in which case I should be using const char above right? TIA for patient answers, Anthony. Tag: tutorial help Tag: 278131

    - [unicode] arabic general code -> context form code Hello @ All ! I have a problem with arabic unicode, and I hope you can help me. I was searching the last 2 days for a solution, but without success.. So, my problem: I have a database with a table with one field which content is a arabic string. I get the data in the arabic general unicode format [0600-06FF]. BUT I have to convert this one into the Contextual Forms Unicode (depends on the position of the character e.g. Initial, Medial, Final and Isolated). Is there a algorithm in visual studio or in windows or something like that? I am not a specialist in arabic language, so I don't know in which case the character has to be in which form and code. Hope, my english is good enough for understanding my problem! Hope, you can help me, too :) Thanks a lot in advance, Greetings, Matze Mueller Tag: tutorial help Tag: 278122

    - File compression in .NET - for very large files Hi I want to compress and decomress files. There is GZipStream class in .Net. However this class requires to allocate buffer equal to the file length to zip it (at least all sample code I saw were like that). The file size in my case can be really very large and hence I want something which does not require to load entire file in memory. Is there any way?

    - corrupt intellisense This post is just informative and relates to Visual Studio 2005. My Class View wasn't updating after changing variables in a class and was also showing a class that didn't exist in the solution (I had removed any reference to it and actually deleted the files). The solution compiled and ran without a problem. As a test, I deleted the solution's *.ncb file, the intellisense database. VS built a new database and the problem was solved. (The old file was 23 meg and the new one 11kb.) Regards, Ron Francis www.RonaldFrancis.com Tag: tutorial help Tag: 278103

    - top-posting I have read the term top-posting twice now so I looked it up to see what it was. I gather some here frown on top-posting and would prefer bottom-posting? When scanning through the posts, it seems to be a mixed bag. So, is there an etiquette here on how to post? If there is, I use Email Express, and by default, it top-posts. I had a quick look through the options and help and couldn't find any way to change its settings so I'm wondering how others deal with it. If it's not an issue, then I won't bother because I actually prefer top-posting. Regards, Ron Francis www.RonaldFrancis.com Tag: tutorial help Tag: 278075

hey all,
I found this tutorial that has a basic example of Assembler and recommended
TASM (Turbo Assembler) if I wanted to walk along. Is there any Microsoft
Product that contains something similar so I can do the walkthrough?

Just google for "MASM tutorial". There are lots of them
on-line. One of the best web sites on topic is Randall
Hyde's "Art of Assembly Language Programming" (including
book online):

IIRC, the Art of Assembly doesn't use MASM, but a custom more modern
assembler.

Actually it does use MASM32. However, they developed their
own High Level Assembler (HLA) on top of MASM32, so MASM32
is prerequisite for the book.
