I have an MSVC Makefile Project in which I need to set an environment variable before running NMAKE. For x64 builds I needs to set it to one value, and for x86 builds I need to set it to something else. So for example, when doing a build I would want to SET PLATFORM=win64 if I'm building a 64-bit compile, or SET PLATFORM=win32 if I'm b...
In MSVC, how can I make any unhandled C++ exception (std::runtime_error, for instance) crash my release-compiled program so that it generates a dump with the full stack from the exception throw location? I have installed NTSD in the AeDebug registry and can generate good dumps for things like memory access violation, so the matter here ...
Hi there, I'm trying to build my application with MSVC 2010 instead of GCC. With GCC everything works fine. My app uses boost_system and boost_thread libraries. I built boost with VC2010 in "system" layout, that means the libraries are named just libboost_system.lib (and not libboost_system_compiler_threading_version_wtf_snafu.lib) The...
my wrapper from managed to unmanaged is handling a lot of data and this function Marshal::StringToHGlobalAnsi would call new for each of them, which is a big hit for me. So my question is : can I allocate a chunk of unmanaged memory and use it to convert the managed data types to unmanaged by hand. ...
I have a function in VS where I pass a pointer to the function. I then want to store the pointer in a register to further manipulate. How do you do that? I have tried float __declspec(align(16)) x[16] = { 0.125000, 0.125000, 0.125000, 0, -0.125000, 0.125000, -0.125000, 0, 0.125000, -0.125000, -0.125000, 0, -0.125000, -...

What is the most portable and "right" way to do conversion from extended precision float (80-bit value, also known as "long double" in some compilers) to double (64-bit) in MSVC win32/win64? MSVC currently (as of 2010) assumes that "long double" is "double" synonym. I could probably write fld/fstp assembler pair in inline asm, but inli...
Is it true, that by using Sendmessage and the Toolbar control messages, I can change the state (or anything) of a custom made IE7 toolbar button at run time? The reason I'm asking is, I have been trying this thing for weeks now, still can found a solution. So far, I manage to only change the button's state at link time (means when I exe...

Easy points for someone with Visual Studio C++ experience: I am converting some Qt project files (.pro) that run on Linux and Mac into Visual Studio project files (.vcproj) The Qt Visual Studio add-in converted everything fine except the DLL dependencies.

The MFC program I am debugging is printing this message in the "Output" window in Visual Studio 9.0: HEAP[AppName.exe]: Invalid allocation size - 99999998 (exceeded 7ffdefff) I'm pretty sure this is due to a bad "new", uninitialized variable or similar error. The question is: how do I get the debugger to stop on this message so that ...
I am just trying to further understand extern C functions. According to my knowledge, an extern C function is always a function you are trying call from an application that has already been compiled. Either a executable, static or dynamic library. extern "C" { HRESULT CreateDevice(); typedef HRESULT (*CREATEDEVICE)(); HRESU...
Hello, I am trying to pass command line parameters in Debug mode in one VC++ 2008 solution as described here Debugging with command-line parameters in Visual Studio. The thing is that somehow actually VC++ is not passing the parameteres because I always get 1 for "argc" variable. Is anything else that should be enabled or what could pre...

I'm currently porting a gcc project to Visual C++. It's defined in a CMake file, and I have created a Visual C++ property sheet to aid in compatibility (GccCompat.props). Everytime the Visual C++ project files are regenerated by CMake, the property sheet has to be added manually, since I don't know how to add it automatically. So, the qu...
