I want to create a Gameboy emulator which runs directly from the exe file, in a similar fashion to visualboy advance. I was wondering in terms of creating a GUI interface for the emulator what would be the best option to accomplish this ? ...
Hi, so I wanted to try my first CLR project in Visual C++. So I created console project, but since every tutorial I found about CLR programming was using C#, or windows forms, I just tried writing standart c++ Hello Word app using iostream (I think code isnt needed in this case) but I though it will give me some compile error, since ios...
In my interpreter I have built-in functions available in the language like print exit input, etc. These functions can obviously be accessed from inside the language. The interpreter then looks for the corresponding function with the right name in a vector and calls it via a pointer stored with its name. So I gather all these functions i...
Hi, I am currently working on some simple custom allocators in c++ which generally works allready. I also overloaded the new/delete operators to allocate memory from my own allocator. Anyways I came across some scenarios where I don't really know where the memory comes from like this: void myFunc(){ myObj testObj(); ...
I've not read the Modern C++ Design book but have found the idea of behavior injection through templates interesting. I am now trying to apply it myself. I have a class that has a logger that I thought could be injected as a policy. The logger has a log() method which takes an std::string or std::wstring depending on its policy: // bas...
I was working on my advanced calculus homework today and we're doing some iteration methods along the lines of newton's method to find solutions to things like x^2=2. It got me thinking that I could write a function that would take two function pointers, one to the function itself and one to the derivative and automate the process. This ...
Are there exceptions for types which can't have thier assignment operator overloaded? Specifically, I'm wanting to overload the assignment operator of a struct tm (from time.h) so I can assign a sql::ResultSet to it. I already have the conversion logic: sscanf(sqlresult->getString("StoredAt").c_str(), "%d-%d-%d %d:%d:%d", &TempTimeS...
As the title indicates, are there any C/C++ bytecode compilers/interpreters? I'm writing an application in an interpreted language that depends on certain libraries that are fully cross-compilable (there are no special flags to indicate code changes during compilation for a certain platform) but are written in C and C++. Rather than ship...
The usual pattern for a singleton class is something like static Foo &getInst() { static Foo *inst = NULL; if(inst == NULL) inst = new Foo(...); return *inst; } However, it's my understanding that this solution is not thread-safe, since 1) Foo's constructor might be called more than once (which may or may not matter) and...
I try to get this following url using the downloadURL function as follows: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/nuccore/27884304 But the data is not as what we can see through the browser, now I know it's because some correct information (such as browser type) is needed. How can I know what kind of information I need to set, and how can I set ...
Hello, I have been developing applications based on C# (.net) and Java (J2EE) from the last 3 years. But, now I feel, Java, C# makes you lame (from learning point of view) and you can develop your apps quickly but you fail to understand the basic underlying concepts of programming. So, I am trying to learn C++, but I find it a little ...
Our team is moving into much larger projects in size, many of which use several open source projects within them. Any advice or best practices to keep libraries and dependancies relatively modular and easily upgradable when new releases for them are out? To put it another way, lets say you make a program that is a fork of an open sourc...
Hi All, I am trying to figure out whey I get an error: expected class-name before { token Here is the relative source to the error: #pragma once #ifndef H_FXACTION #define H_FXACTION #include "CP_M_RefCounted.h" #include "FxTypes.h" #include "string" #include "FxString.h" #include "FxPixels.h" #include "CP_Rect.h" #include "FxStreama...
I'm making a general timer that has functionality to count up from 0 or count down from a certain number. I also want it to allow the user to add and subtract time. Everything is simple to implement except for the case in which the timer is counting down from some number, and the user adds or subtracts time from it. For example: (m_cloc...
Hello, I'm working through the exercises in Accelerated C++ and I'm stuck on question 5-6. Here's the problem description: (somewhat abbreviated, I've removed extraneous info.) 5-6. Write the extract_fails function so that it copies the records for the passing students to the beginning of students, and then uses the resize function to...
take this simple code: class A{ public: virtual void foo() = 0; void x(){ foo(); } }; class B: public A{ foo(){ ... } }; main(){ B b; b.x(); } What I want is to build an abstract class that will have a function that will call a function expecting it to be implemented in the derived class The question is that I can't see...
How does C++ handle function pointers in relation to functions with defaulted parameters? If I have: void foo(int i, float f = 0.0f); void bar(int i, float f); void (*func_ptr1)(int); void (*func_ptr2)(int, float); void (*func_ptr3)(int, float = 10.0f); Which function pointers can I use in relation to which function? ...
Hi, I made an Objective-C project for the iPhone. I had only one cpp class, the soundEngine taken from some Apple demo. Now I'm trying to merge OpenFeint which is coded in Objective-C++. I dropped in the code, by simply dragging the files and just tick "Call C++ default ctors/dtors in Objective-C" in Project Settings. I am not even refer...
So, I have two types at the moment: const unsigned char* unencrypted_data_char; string unencrypted_data; I'm attempting to perform a simple conversion of data from one to the other (string -> const unsigned char*) As a result, I have the following: strcpy((unencrypted_data_char),(unencrypted_data.c_str())); However, I'm receiving ...
Up until fairly recently I hadn't been keeping up with the C++0x deliberations. As I try to become more familiar with it and the issues being worked, I came across this site which seems to be advocating for deprecating or removing std::valarray since most people are using Blitz++ instead. I guess I'm probably one of the few people out ...
