This piece of code compiles file in VC6 but in VS 2008 it gives an error. Can anyone tell me why? I guess it is because you can no longer compare a pointer to NULL (which is a typedef for 0). If that is the case, how do I do this comparison in VC9? for ( std::vector<aCattrBase*>::iterator iT = attrLst.begin(); iT < attrLst.end(); iT++) ...

I get 2 unresolved extrnal symbols: ___iob_func and __ftol2_sse. I get both both using the IDE with the plainest settings I can find, and from the command line with: cl devstudio.c /I. /l...
We are moving from Microsoft Visual Studio 6.0 to Microsoft Development Environment 2003. In Visual Studio 6.0, the location of the file will be displayed if you go to the workspace, go to the FileView tab, right click on any file and select Properties. The full path of the file is displayed under File name. However, in 2003, the file ...

A VC++ 6.0 application is crashing when doing a CString::Format operation with %d format specifier. This does not occur always but occurs when the application memory grows upto 100MB or more. ALso sometimes same crash observed when a CString copy is done. The call stack would look like this mfc42u!CFixedAlloc::Alloc+82 mfc42u!CString:...
Okay, so I have a legacy Codebase and an old Visual C++ 6.0 Standard Installation CD. I want to install that on my Windows XP SP3 System. Is there anything I would need to avoid or to download besides SP6? Are executables created with VC6 compatible on Vista and Windows 7? (I know that there is no 64-Bit compiler, and that's fine) (I ...
Hello all, I am writing an application in C in GCC (for linux/ubuntu) that uses the following inline assembly: float a[4] = { 10, 20, 30, 40 }; float b[4] = { 0.1, 0.1, 0.1, 0.1 }; asm volatile("movups (%0), %%xmm0\n\t" "mulps (%1), %%xmm0\n\t" "movups %%xmm0, (%1)" :: "r" (a), "r" (b)); Excuse...
I got a DLL generated on VC6 and using wstring, and I'm trying to use it in a VC9 project. In this DLL there is a higher level class manipulating wstring, called UtfString. I got everything imported correctly in my project, but when I call: std::wstring test; UtfString uTest(test); it won't link, even if the function prototype is in...

Hi, I'm trying to debug an old VC6 dll, I manage to go through the code but unfortunately my vc9 debugger doesn't show the content of the variables in the dll. (browsing info I guess) I manage to see the content of my dll when I debug it in VC6 but I would prefer to be able to debug in the same time as my managed code. Maybe I'm miss...

After adding the /TSAWARE linker flag to one of my projects (Visual Studio 6), I was surprised to find a new section in the PE file (.idata). If I don't set the flag, the imports are merged into .rdata. To illustrate the "problem" we start out with a simple console program: #include <stdio.h> int main() { printf("hello world\n");...

I have a sample project (not mine) which is in Visual C++ 6. I'm trying to convert it to Visual Studio 2008. The older project is using precompiled headers. Now the questions are: What are precompiled headers? Since the older project is using precompiled headers. I'll also use them in Visual Studio 2008 (the new project). But I get er...
I'm painfully debugging a legacy VS 6.0 MFC app, and I'd really like to step into MFC code. Now, the code did ship with VS6, and the symbols (mfc42.pdb) too, but the debugger asserts 'Symbols loaded (source information stripped)' upon attaching. By these tips, all copies of mfc42.pdb on my machine are indeed stripped (their size i...
I'm attempting to use a /D compiler option on MSVC6 to define a string, but there's something weird about using double quotes around it. To debug this problem, it would be extremely helpful for me to be able to see what value the preprocessor is actually substituting into my code where the macro is expanded. Is there any way I can do t...

Hi, I am overloading operator << to implement a stream like interface for a class: template<typename T> CAudit& operator << ( const T& data ) { audittext << data; return *this; } CAudit& operator << ( LPCSTR data ) { audittext << data; return *this; } The template version fails to compile with "fatal error C1001: INT...
