What is this syntax for in C++? Can someone point me to the technical term so I can see if I find anything in my text? At first I thought it was a prototype but then the = and (*fn) threw me off... Here is my example: void (*fn) (int&,int&) = x; ...
I am developing an OCX with some DISP_FUNCTION_ID defined. How could I automatically generate a wrapper for it to be used in an MFC C++ Dialog so it can be autoregenerated when I add functions to my OCX? Regards ...
Hi. I would like to know what do you use to sketch relations between different entities in C/C++. This can be a very broad issue, so I'll try to clarify a bit more my question and give an example. I'm looking for something that is simple enough as a user, and let me sketch easily containers, pointers, etc... in an informal way. The aim ...
I am using mysql/C++ connector to connect to a mysql database. I have some complex data structures so I need to serialize those and save in the database. I tried something like the following. vector<int> vectorTest(10,100); istream *blob = NULL; ostringstream os; int size_data = sizeof(vector<int>); blob = new istringstream((char*)&v...
Should a matrix software library have a root class (e.g., MatrixBase) from which more specialized (or more constrained) matrix classes (e.g., SparseMatrix, UpperTriangluarMatrix, etc.) derive? If so, should the derived classes be derived publicly/protectively/privately? If not, should they be composed with a implementation class encaps...
My comments on this answer got me thinking about the issues of constness and sorting. I played around a bit and reduced my issues to the fact that this code: #include <vector> int main() { std::vector <const int> v; } will not compile - you can't create a vector of const ints. Obviously, I should have known this (and intellect...
I understand what the typical access specifiers are, and what they mean. 'public' members are accessible anywhere, 'private' members are accessible only by the same class and friends, etc. What I'm wondering is what, if anything, this equates to in lower-level terms. Are their any post-compilation functional differences between these be...
I'm building a shared library which I dynamically load (using dlopen) into my AIX application using IBM's VisualAge C/C++ compiler. Unfortunately, it appears to be stripping out necessary symbols: rtld: 0712-002 fatal error: exiting. rtld: 0712-001 Symbol setVersion__Q2_3CIF17VersionReporterFRCQ2_3std12basic_stringXTcTQ2_3std11char_tr...
Hey, Imagine I have a video playing.. Can I have some sort of motion graphics being played 'over' that video.. Like say the moving graphics is on an upper layer than the video, which would be the lower layer.. I am comfortable in a C++ and Python, so a solution that uses these two will be highly appreciated.. Thank you in advance, Ri...
In C (or C++ for that matter), pointers are special if they have the value zero: I am adviced to set pointers to zero after freeing their memory, because it means freeing the pointer again isn't dangerous; when I call malloc it returns a pointer with the value zero if it can't get me memory; I use if (p != 0) all the time to make sure pa...
I have two questions: How to hide cursor for all programs? I tried to hide the cursor by using ShowCursor, but it only works in my program. The cursor still appears when moving cursor outside of my program. How to disable mouse operations for all programs? I use SetWindowsHookEx to hook mouse and prevent other programs to processing th...
I'd like to be able to compile a C/C++ library so that it runs within a managed runtime in the CLR. There are several tools for doing this with the JVM (NestedVM, LLJVM, etc) but I can't seem to find any for the CLR. Has anyone tried doing this? ...
Hi all, I have lot of executable that I have compiled (long time back) for many of which I don't have sourcecode now. But when I compiled them I didn't put any icons for them, so they all look like same dull, bald default icon. So my questions are, (1) is it possible for me to write a software that can change the resources section of ...
I have a Qt widget which should only accept a hex string as input. It is very simple to restrict the input characters to [0-9A-Fa-f], but I would like to have it display with a delimiter between "bytes" so for example if the delimiter is a space, and the user types 0011223344 I would like the line edit to display 00 11 22 33 44 Now if th...
I'd like to find the directory of the current user profile programatically in C++. ...
To use a given graphic package I need to define, book and fill histogram. How can I get the name of the histogram which is a string to concatenate with 2 integer as a string ( hts_i_j ) in 3 for loop instead. That has to be done in c++ See the exemple below to define TH1F* hts_5_53; TH1F* hts_5_54; …… TH1F* hts_5_69; to book hts...
I'm working in a C, and C++ program. We used to be compiling without the make-strings-writable option. But that was getting a bunch of warnings, so I turned it off. Then I got a whole bunch of errors of the form "Cannot convert const char* to char* in argmuent 3 of function foo". So, I went through and made a whole lot of changes to fix...
i am compiling a c++ file in python code using this os.system("rc.cpp") and then os.system("./a.out") . I would like to pass a command line argument to the rc file . how do i do it? ...
I'd like to be able to compile a C/C++ library so that it runs within a safe managed runtime in the Silverlight CLR. There are several tools for doing this with the JVM that allows C++ code to run within a CRT emulation layer (see NestedVM, LLJVM, etc), which effectively allows C++ code to be run within a Java Applet. There's even a to...
Hello, I have a custom type I'd like to use with QVariant but I don't know how to get the QVariant to display in a table or have it sort in a QSortFilterProxyModel. I register the type with Q_DECLARE_METATYPE and wrote streaming operators registered via qRegisterMetaTypeStreamOperators but for whatever reason when I use the type with a ...
