I have to represent a 16 byte field as part of a data structure: struct Data_Entry { uint8 CUI_Type; uint8 CUI_Size; uint16 Src_Refresh_Period; uint16 Src_Buffer_Size; uint16 Src_CUI_Offset; uint32 Src_BCW_Address; uint32 Src_Previous_Timestamp; /* The field below should be a 16 byte field */ ...
what will be alternative of pthread_setcanceltype in windows thread programming in c++? ...
Hello everyone, I am writing a text-based Scrabble implementation for a college project. The specification states that the user's position input must be read from single line, like this: Coordinates of the word's first letter and orientation (<A – P> <1 – 15> <H ou V>): G 5 H G 5 H is the user's input for that particular example. T...
What is the best method for calculating free disk space using C++ only. My target platform is WinCE but most of the file operations are the same as normal Windows. ...
Hoooboy, I've got another doozy of a memory problem. I'm creating a Carbon (AGL) Window, in C++ and it's telling me that I'm autorelease-ing it without a pool in place. uh... what? I thought Carbon existed outside of the NSAutoreleasePool... When I call glEnable(GL_TEXTURE_2D) to do some stuff, it gives me a EXC_BAD_ACCESS warning -...
Hi, I am trying to get my head around the way shared libraries work in the c++ unix environment. I understand we only need header files and no shared libraries specification when compiling code. But if I want to create an executable or shared library from my compiled files, do I need to specify shared library dependencies (those are dyna...
My questions are in the code, but basically i want to know how/if I can do the two commented out lines? I know I can do it in a constructor but I don't want to! struct foo { int b[4]; } boo; //boo.b[] = {7, 6, 5, 4}; // <- why doesn't this work? (syntax error : ']') //boo.b = {7, 6, 5, 4}; // <- or else this? (syntax error : '{') ...
This is a follow-up to Critique my heap debugger from yesterday. As suggested by bitc, I now keep metadata about the allocated blocks in a separate handwritten hashtable. The heap debugger now detects the following kinds of errors: memory leaks (now with more verbose debugging output) illegal pointers passed to delete (that also takes...
Is there any way to capture by value, and make the captured value non-const? I have a library functor that I would like to capture & call a method that is non-const but should be. The following doesn't compile but making foo::operator() const fixes it. struct foo { bool operator () ( const bool & a ) { return a; } }; int _...
I have a DLL written in C++ that is legacy code and cannot modify the source code. I want to be able to call some of the functions inside of the DLL from Lua. For example, I'd like to do something like this: -- My Lua File include(myCppDll.dll) function callCppFunctionFromDll() local result = myCppFunctionFromDll(arg1, arg2) ...
I read about the Microsoft specific suffix "i64" for integer constants. I want to do an UNsigned shift to a ULONGLONG. ULONGLONG bigNum64 = 0x800000000000000i64 >> myval; In normal C, I would use the suffix "U", e.g. the similar 32 bit operation would be ULONG bigNum32 = 0x80000000U >> myval; I do NOT want the 2's complement sign exte...
Hello: I have designed a quick and basic vector arithmetic library in C++. I call the program from the command line when I need a rapid cross product, or angle between vectors. I don't use Matlab or Octave or related, because the startup time is larger than the computation time. Again, this is for very basic operations. I am extending ...
Some C++ objects have no copy constructor, but have move constructor. For example, boost::promise. How can I bind those objects using their move constructors ? #include <boost/thread.hpp> void fullfil_1(boost::promise<int>& prom, int x) { prom.set_value(x); } boost::function<void()> get_functor() { // boost::promise is not copyab...
Hello, everyone! I am implementing a text-based version of Scrabble for a college project. I have a vector containing around 400K strings (my dictionary), and, at some point in every turn, I'm going to have to check if there's still a word in the dictionary which can be formed with the pieces in the player's hand. I'm checking if the p...
I am working with an implementation of merge sort. I am doing C++ Visual Studio 2010. But when I took a array of 300000 integers for timing, it is showing an unhandled stackoverflow exception and taking me to a readonly file named "chkstk.asm". I reduced the size to 200000 and it worked. Again the same code worked with C-free 4 editor (...
I have a simple program which creates and executes as thread using boost threads in c++. #include<boost/thread/thread.hpp> #include<iostream> void hello() { std::cout<<"Hello, i am a thread"<<std::endl; } int main() { boost::thread th1(&hello); th1.join(); } The compiler throws an error against the th1.join() line....
REMOVED - reason: not really needed. my questions are: can I use a linux UDP socket from two different threads? answer was here I have two different events I would like to wait for using just one thread. One of such events is the addition of an element to a stack and another is the availability of data on a socket. I can use a boost::...
I want to creating an addin that captures when a {contact, calendar, task, note} is {created, edited, removed}. I have the following code, to make it shorter I removed all the code but the related to contact, since all types will be the same I guess. AutoSync.h class ATL_NO_VTABLE AutoSync : public wxPanel, public IDispEventSimpleIm...
Basically I want to simulate .NET Exception.InnerException in C++. I want to catch exception from bottom layer and wrap it with another exception and throw again to upper layer. The problem here is I don't know how to wrap the catched exception inside another exception. struct base_exception : public std::exception { std::exception&...
Hi all, I've recently obtained an HTC Desire and I'm interested in porting my 3D engine to the device. I have a slight annoyance however. I'd love to be able to do development under Visual Studio 2008. Am I to assume I'm going to need to re-process my SLN files to do GCC builds? Its not a vast issue as I already have an application...
