I am new to C++ and am making a simple text RPG, anyway, The scenario is I have a "welcome" screen with choices 1-3, and have a simple IF statement to check them, here: int choice; std::cout << "--> "; std::cin >> choice; if(choice == 1) { //.. That works fine, but if someone enters a letter as selection (instead of 1, 2 or 3) it'll...
I would like to create a domain specific language as an augmented-C++ language. I will need mostly two types of contructs: Top-level constructs for specialized types or declarations In-code constructs, i.e. to add primitives to make functions calls or idiom easier The language will be used for scientific computing purposes, and will ...
I have a C++ code compiled with Intel compiler, 32bit, in MS VC6 mode, so using either msvcrt.dll or msvcrtd.dll. The process makes heavy memory allocation and deallocation. I monitor the memory usage with WMI and look at VirtualSize and WorkingSetSize. with debug runtime (msvcrtd.dll): virtual constant 1.7GB, working constant 1.2GB w...
Hello, I'm designing event loop for asynchronous socket IO using epoll/devpoll/kqueue/poll/select (including windows-select). I have two options of performing, IO operation: Non-blocking mode, poll on EAGAIN Set socket to non-blocking mode. Read/Write to socket. If operation succeeds, post completion notification to event loop. If ...
OK, i have a strange problem. I have this piece of code: int *p; int test; p=&test; In Visual C++ express, in my exsisting project, I get this error: missing type specifier - int assumed. 'p' : 'int' differs in levels of indirection from 'char *' 'initializing' : cannot convert from 'char *' to 'int' But when i create new project, ...
Hi all, I want to know if there are any C++ libraries which allow me to make JAX WS calls for a web service to a server. (Mainly the SOAP message part - the serialization and de-serialization of SOAP message.) My web service is in java but i need to invoke it using c++. Thanks, Harsha ...
Hi im looking to find how to implement this scenario: i have logic code that is inside function, now i like to be able to execute this function in a separate thread. now what i have is a raw implementation of this .. i simple Init the Thread that in its Start/Run method i keep the function logic . how can i make it more generic ? so i c...
I am reading some source code and I found at the very begin of the main routine this statement: umask(077); What could be the reason for that? The man page (man 2 umask) states: umask -- set file creation mode mask This clearing allows each user to restrict the default access to his files But is not clear to me why wo...
I have a list of installed software, obtained from WMI class select * from Win32_Product. I'd like to deny execution rights for some users on certain software like so: find the path to installed software recursively remove execution rights I find the path to installed software from Win32_Product InstallLocation column. But the PROBLE...
Is there any way to observe all signals which are emitted? PS. Of course we can write slots for all signals, but that is not I want. Thanks. ...
I have an experimental library whose performance I'm trying to measure. To do this, I've written the following: struct timeval begin; gettimeofday(&begin, NULL); { // Experiment! } struct timeval end; gettimeofday(&end, NULL); // Print the time it took! std::cout << "Time: " << 100000 * (end.tv_sec - begin.tv_sec) + (end.tv_usec - ...
I'm wrapping up user space linux socket functionality in some C++ for an embedded system (yes, this is probably reinventing the wheel again). I want to offer a read and write implementation using a vector. Doing the write is pretty easy, I can just pass &myvec[0] and avoid unnecessary copying. I'd like to do the same and read directly ...
Dear all I have referred the following link: Silverlight for Windows Embedded By referring this link i created a demo application which consist of two buttons created using Microsoft expression blend 2 tools. And then written a code referring the above site. Now my button names are "Browser Button" and "Media Button". On click of any...
Hi, I'm doing an add-in for Outlook 2007 in C++. I need to capture the events like create, change or delete from the Outlook Items (Contact, Appointment, Tasks and Notes) but the only information/examples I've found are for Visual Basic so I don't know how to connect the event handler. Here is some information related: http://msdn.micr...

Is there a way to hook for a particular windows message without subclassing the window. There is WH_GETMESSAGE but that seems create performance issues. Any other solutions apart from these which doesn't deteriorate performance? ...
enum ABC{ A, B, C=5, D, E }; Are D and E guaranteed to be greater than 5 ? Are A and B guaranteed to be smaller than 5 (if possible)? edit: What would happen if i say C=1 ...
Hello, In a large C++ solution, is there a best/standard way to separate the include files necessary to build an intermediary DLL and the include files which will be used by the DLL clients ? We have grouped all the include files in a folder called Interface (for DLL interface), but there the customers have to either include the Inter...
Hi, I would like to learn mobile development, but I'm not sure which category would be the most cost effective one. I know it's kind of a prophecy question, but anyhow, suggestions would be welcomed. So, as i'm pretty familiar with C++ development , I though about learning QT. I understand that using QT, I can develop once and then d...
Edit: Thanks folks, now I see my mistake. If I'm not wrong, because of its nature in factory method there is cyclic dependency: Base class needs to know subclasses because it creates them, and subclasses need to know base class. Having cyclic dependency is bad programming practice, is not it? Practically I implemented a factory, I hav...
