Suppose I have a file X.h which defines a class X, whose methods are implemented in X.cc. The file X.h includes a file Y.h because it needs Y to define class X. In X.cc, we can refer to Y because X.h has already included Y.h. Should I still include Y.h in X.cc ? I understand that I don't need to and I can depend on header guards to pr...
I wrote a wrapper DLL for some native c++ functions and compiled it in c++/CLI, then I added a reference to C# project, functions indicates there, but when I try compile project I get this error: "Additional information: Could not load file or assembly 'lib, Version=1.0.3742.39593, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null' or one of its depe...
I'm trying to learn to play with OpenGL GLSL shaders. I've written a very simple program to simply create a shader and compile it. However, whenever I get to the compile step, I get the error: Error: Preprocessor error Error: failed to preprocess the source. Here's my very simple code: #include <GL/gl.h> #include <GL/glu.h> #include...
Hi All, Does anyone have a resource for C++ memory optimization guidelines? Best practices, tuning, etc? As an example: Class xxx { public: xxx(); virtual ~xxx(); protected: private: }; Would there be ANY benefit on the compiler or memory allocation to get rid of protected and private since there the...
Having construction in a form: struct Node { Node():left_(nullptr), right_(nullptr) { } int id_; Node* left_; Node* right_; }; I would like to enable syntax: Node parent; Node child; parent.right_ = child; So in order to do so I need: Node& operator=(Node* left, Node right); but I'm getting msg that operator= has to be a member ...
I'm trying to use the visitor pattern to serialize the contents of objects. However one snag I'm hitting is when I'm visiting strings. My strings are of a templated type, similar to STL's basic_string. So something like: basic_string<char_type, memory_allocator, other_possible_stuff> \\ many variations possible! Since I can have very ...
When i installed turbo cpp in my Windows XP os machine, I got a system error: the win16 subsystem was unable to enter protected mode dosx.exe must be in your AUTOEXEC.NT & present in your path. ...
I'm trying to port some old Linux code to run on Windows and am running into a whole bunch of compiler errors that seem to be stemming from the considerable use of template classes. Are there really any significant differences between how templates must be implemented for linux vs MSVC? If so, could someone give an overview of what's a...
I have a universal data type, which is passed by value, but does not maintain the type information. We store only pointers and basic data types(like int, float etc) inside this. Now for the first time, we need to store std::string inside this. So we decided to convert it into std::string* and store it. Then comes the problem of destructi...
I want to find some words after i get the whole file to char*. I know how to do it using the string class functions but i don't want to copy the data again to a string variable. is there any similar functions available to use for char* strings or should i still use string class? ...
Hello: I have the following recursive code and it doesn't behave as expected (see details below): R3Intersection ComputeIntersectionNode(R3Ray *ray, R3Node *node) { R3Intersection closest_inter; R3Intersection child_inter; R3Intersection shape_inter; double least_t = DBL_MAX; // check for intersection with shape if(node->...
Lets consider we have a double R = 99.999999; (which may be obtained by a result of some other computation),now the desired output is 99.99 I tried using printf("%.2lf",R); but it's rounding off the value.How to get the desired output ? (preferably using printf) ...
I have recently started to feel that I need to greatly improve my C++ skills especially in the realm of .net. I graduated from a good four year university with a degree in computer science about 9 months ago and I have since been doing full time contract work for a small software company in my local area. Most of my work has been done ...
Is makefile an advanced problem or a general problem for a programmer? For a C++ programmer, how often will he be asked to write a makefile file? ...
I'm working on a project which generates a very large number of sequential text strings, in a very tight loop. My application makes heavy use of SIMD instruction set extensions like SSE and MMX, in other parts of the program, but the key generator is plain C++. The way my key generator works is I have a keyGenerator class, which holds ...
I want to insert some C/C++ source code into a Microsoft Word document. I have no problem in copying the code from source file and pasting into Word. I can do fixed-width. But, in Word, I see the code in black-and-white format; I loose the syntax highlighting as I get in the source code editor (for me, gvim). So, my question is, is there...
I am examining a core dump, and noticed that in one frame the 'this' pointer is different than in the next frame (in the same thread). Not just a little different, it went from 0x8167428 to 0x200. I am not that well-versed in using GDB, but this does not seem right to me. Is this problematic, and if so, what could be the cause? ...
Hi, I have to define an interface. The API in my homework is stated below: int generate_codes(char * ssn, char * student_id); int denotes 0 or 1 for pass or fail. studentid is an output param should return a 6 digit id. ssn is a 9 digit input param they school program will take ssn's and use my code to generate the student id. ...
I want to use OpenSteer for my game that I want to be compatible with the Xbox 360. I have heard that since it is a wrapper for a C++ library, it will work in XNA on a PC, but not on the Xbox. Is there no way to make it compatible? UPDATE: The C++ version may not be, but what about OpenSteerDotNet? ...
