I have an application developed under Linux with GCC 4.2 which makes quite heavy use of stringstreams to wrap and unwrap data being sent over the wire. (Because the Grid API I'm using demands it). Under Linux everything is fine but when I deploy to SunOS (v5.10 running SPARC) and compile with GCC 3.4.6 the app hangs when it reaches the p...
I need to use beta distribution and inverse beta distribution in my project. There is quite good but complicated implementation in GSL, but I don't want to use such a big library only to get one function. I would like to either, implement it on my own or link some simple library. Do you know any sources that could help me? I'm looking...
I'm trying to use dbghelp.dll. If I set it up in the VS2008 properties to point to the correct library and header file, and put dbghelp.dll in the same directory as the executable, one of the functions in the dll fails. If I LoadLibrary the dll, everything that function works. I've looked at the header that gets included via the VS optio...
I've enabled iterator debugging in an application by defining _HAS_ITERATOR_DEBUGGING = 1 I was expecting this to really just check vector bounds, but I have a feeling it's doing a lot more than that. What checks, etc are actually being performed? Dinkumware STL, by the way. ...
How can I write a c++ program to calculate large factorials. Example, if I want to calculate (100!) / (99!), we know the answer is 100, but if i calculate the factorials of the numerator and denominator individually, both the numbers are gigantically large. ...
Hello, I've encountered a strange behavior in __declspec(dllexport) in my project. I have a C++ project that uses classes, namespaces, try-catches and more cpp elements. When exporting any dummy function in this DLL, no other C project will be able to load it with LoadLibrary (Getting error 'module not found'). Is it possible to load d...
So I'm using Visual C++ 6.0, and trying to compile some source code, but upon compilation I get this: Linking... LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file "Iphlpapi.lib" Error executing link.exe. I'm using the correct SDK, and the directories are correct. I've checked, double checked, and triple checked. The file is the specified d...
I have a C++ Visual Studio 2008 Windows Mobile 6.5 application that uses a tab control. I've noticed that depending on how careful you are with the stylus, when using the tab control you can accidentally re-order the tabs. It's difficult to do deliberately, but it's very easy to do when you're not trying. I assume this is a new "feature"...
Is there a way to make enum type to be unsigned? The following code gives me a warning about signed/unsigned comparison. enum EEE { X1 = 1 }; int main() { size_t x = 2; EEE t = X1; if ( t < x ) std::cout << "ok" << std::endl; return 0; } I've tried to force compiler to use unsigned underlying type for enum with t...
I'm trying to get my way through Poppler and its (lack of) documentation. What I want to do is a very simple thing: open a PDF file and read the text in it. I'm then going to process the text, but that doesn't really matter here. So... I saw the poppler_page_get_text function, and it kind of works, but I have to specify a selection rec...
I have coworkers who occasionally use typedef to avoid typing. For example: typedef std::list<Foobar> FoobarList; ... FoobarList GetFoobars(); Personally, I always hate coming across code like this, largely because it forces me to go lookup the typedef so I can tell how to use it. I also feel like this sort of thing is a potential sli...
How would I go about reading all files in a directory? In C# I would get a DirectoryInfo object, and get all files into a FileInfo[] object. Is there similar functionality in the STD namespace in C++? ...
How can I set the cursor position in a Win32 Console application? Preferably, I would like to avoid making a handle and using the Windows Console Functions. (I spent all morning running down that dark alley; it creates more problems than it solves.) I seem to recall doing this relatively simply when I was in college using stdio, but I...
I always wondered how software such as iTunes, Winamp etc is able to create its own UI. How is this accomplished under the Windows platform? Is there any code on the web explaining how one would create their own custom GUI? ...
I'm trying to make a simple draggable item using the graphics framework. Here's the code for what I did so far: Widget class: class Widget : public QWidget { Q_OBJECT public: Widget(QWidget *parent = 0); ~Widget(); }; Widget::Widget(QWidget *parent) : QWidget(parent) { DragScene *scene = new DragScene(); Drag...
I have the following types: struct X { int x; X( int val ) : x(val) {} }; struct X2 { int x2; X2() : x2() {} }; typedef std::pair<X, X2> pair_t; typedef std::vector<pair_t> pairs_vec_t; typedef std::vector<X> X_vec_t; I need to initialize instance of pairs_vec_t with values from X_vec_t. I use the following code and it ...
I recently switched to Linux and wanted to compile my Visual Studio 2010 C++ source code, which uses only the STL, on G++. My Linux machine currently isn't available but I can try to tell you what is going on, first: As I try to compile my project, all global variables I use in main and which perfectly work on MSVC result in myGlobalV...
I've been trying to include a structure called "student" in a student.h file, but I'm not quite sure how to do it. My student.h file code consists of entirely: #include<string> using namespace std; struct Student; while the student.cpp file consists of entirely: #include<string> using namespace std; struct Student { string las...
In general, I want warnings of unsigned vs signed. However, in this particular case, I want it suppressed; std::vector<Blah> blahs; for(int i = 0; i < blahs.size(); ++i) { ... I want to kill this comparison. Thanks! (using g++) ...
Hi, I'm just doing a self-study of Algorithms & Data structures and I'd like to know if anyone has a C# (or C++) implementation of Strassen's Algorithm for Matrix Multiplication? I'd just like to run it and see what it does and get more of an idea of how it goes to work. ...
