After reading the article "Back to Basics" by Mr.Spolsky I have thought about string structure in C, that converges most of advantages of Pascal-style string (with length byte) and classic ASCIIZ-strings in C and reduces most of their disadvantages. The main demand is to make this new string effective in machine commands. (for this task ...

I want to create a factory for creation of objects implementing an abstract interface, which would return a reference to the object that is kept internally, and objects are not replicated. The idea is pretty much the same as in the log4cxx/log4j Logger class design. I would also like to hide as much details from the client as possible, i...
I am maintaining an application which tries to help the user get his parameters to work together, as there are many interdependencies. Now there is a default value of x for a variable Y. When the user changes some other variable Z, there might be a new minimum value for Y which is greater than x. This is set as a minimum for the spinbo...
I'm working on a very basic game and I have a std::list collection of objects that pertain to my game. I declared it as: std::list<Target> targets; When I iterate over it, using for (std::list<Target>::iterator iter = targets.begin(); iter != targets.end(); iter++) { Target t = *iter; t.move(); } My objects are...

My goal is to only modify one column (to basically have the LVS_EX_UNDERLINEHOT|LVS_EX_UNDERLINECOLD|LVS_EX_TWOCLICKACTIVATE style). Is there a way to modify the style of only one column and no...
We're trying implement a .NET Service Object that supports a COM interface to emulate a POSPrinter but still be compatible with the older technologies. We have our interface and class object in the following class.. using [...] namespace yRPOSPrinterDotNet { [Guid("2D570F11-4BD8-40e7-BF14-38772063AAF0")] [InterfaceType(ComIn...

Hi, I have a very silly problem with the code shown below. The goal is to increment multiple counters at once, and have their value printed after being processed by a provided functor. However g++ complains : test.hpp:32: error: expected `;' before 'it' " I tried to add some typedef, but the error message remains. Here is the code (...
Hello! I have run into trouble trying to implement functionality for serializing some classes in my game. I store some data in a raw text file and I want to be able to save and load to/from it. The details of this, however, are irrelevant. The problem is that I am trying to make each object that is interesting for the save file to be ab...
