[Qt] How to get rid of OCI.dll dependency when compiling static
Hi, My application accesses an Oracle database through Qt's QSqlDatabase class. I'm compiling Qt as static for the release build, but I can't seem to be able to get rid of OCI.dll dependency. I'm trying to link against oci.lib (as available in Oracle's Instant Client with SDK). Here's my configure line : configure -qt-libjpeg -qt-zl...

Referenced vector does not pass through functions
The referenced vector to functions does not hold the information in memory. Do I have to use pointers? Thanks. #include <iostream> #include <cstdlib> #include <vector> #include <string> using namespace std; void menu(); void addvector(vector<string>& vec); void subvector(vector<string>& vec); void vectorsize(const vector<string>& vec...
Invalid Argument to getUInt64 when retrieving LAST_INSERT_ID()
I have added a record to my table which auto-increments the primary key. I am having no luck retrieving this new value. The MySQL documents say to use the SELECT LAST_INSERT_ID(); in a query. I have done this, but can't retrieve the results. According the the metadata of the result set, the data type is BIGINT and the column name i...
Looking for libraries which implement sequential minimal optimization in C++
I want to use SMO (Sequential Minimal Optimization) in order to train an SVM (Support Vector Machine). Can anyone suggest existing C++ libraries which implement SMO? I plan to use this to train an SVM to find an object in a picture (probably a human). ...
gcov and switch statements
I'm running gcov over some C code with a switch statement. I've written test cases to cover every possible path through that switch statement, but it still reports a branch in the switch statement as not taken and less than 100% on the "Taken at least once" stat. Here's some sample code to demonstrate: #include "stdio.h" void foo(int ...
How to modify Keyboard interrupt (under Windows XP) from a C++ Program ?
Hi everyone ! We have been given a little project (As part of my OS course) to make a Windows program that modifies keyboard input, so that it transforms any lowercase character entered into an uppercase one (without using caps-lock) ! so when you type on the keyboard you'll see what you're typing transformed into uppercase ! I have do...
Double Free inside of a destructor upon adding to a vector
Hey, I am working on a drum machine, and am having problems with vectors. Each Sequence has a list of samples, and the samples are ordered in a vector. However, when a sample is push_back on the vector, the sample's destructor is called, and results in a double free error. Here is the Sample creation code: class XSample { public: ...
Differences between Static & Dynamic data structures

How to take snapshot in linux - programmatically C++
I am currently involved in a project which requires me to repeatedly take snapshots of the screen. I am using qt's grabScreen function to do the same. The screen freezes for half a second every time the program takes a snapshot causing the computer to seem to be very slow :( Can anybody suggest me a better method of doing this ? ...
C++ Typing and OOP child classes
I'm a bit confused: If I have a base class A, and a class B which extends A, can a variable of the type A hold a value of the type B and vice versa? If yes, why? Aren't they completely different even if B is derived from A? How about type-safety? If this is possible, what things do I have to mind when taking use of this? How would ...
Understanding C++ pointers (when they point to a pointer)
I think I understand references and pointers pretty well. Here is what I (think I) know: int i = 5; //i is a primitive type, the value is 5, i do not know the address. int *ptr; //a pointer to an int. i have no way if knowing the value yet. ptr = &i; //now i have an address for the value of i (called ptr) *ptr = 10; //Go to the value...
C++ STL make_heap and pop_heap not working.
I need to use a Heap, so i've searched about the STL one, but it doesn't seem to work, i wrote some code to explain what i mean: #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <vector> #include <algorithm> struct data { int indice; int tamanho; }; bool comparator2(const data* a, const data* b) { return (a->tamanho < b->t...
Newbie: Render RGB to GTK widget -- howto?
Hi All, Big picture: I want to render an RGB image via GTK on a linux box. I'm a frustrated GTK newbie, so please forgive me. I assume that I should create a Drawable_area in which to render the image -- correct? Do I then have to create a graphics context attached to that area? How? my simple app (which doesn't even address the r...
Program crashes in debugger before anything happens

Select all points in a matrix within 30m of another point
So if you look at my other posts, it's no surprise I'm building a robot that can collect data in a forest, and stick it on a map. We have algorithms that can detect tree centers and trunk diameters and can stick them on a cartesian XY plane. We're planning to use certain 'key' trees as natural landmarks for localizing the robot, using ...
Launch IE with specific BHO enabled
I have a IE BHO plugin that I only want to be enabled when the user launches IE from my program (The program starts IE using CreateProcess()). I don't want this BHO to be enabled when a user launches IE from outside my program, as that would mean any problems in the BHO could potentially mess up the user's normal browsing experience. W...
