Hi, The Windows API function CopyFile has an argument BOOL bFailIfExists that allows you to control whether or not you want to overwrite the target file if it exists. The boost::filesystem copy_file function has no such argument, and will fail if the target file exists. Is there an elegant way to use the boost copy_file function and o...

I notice there is a very similar question already but it's C# related and I'd like something Delphi base...
When should BOOL and bool be used in C++ and why? I think using bool is cleaner and more portable because it's a built-in type. But BOOL is unavoidable when you interactive with legacy code/C code, or doing inter-op from .NET with C code/Windows API. So my policy is: Use bool inside C++. Use BOOL when talk to outer world, e.g., export ...

So I put the OVERLAPPED structure in global scope,and it works amazingly. Why is that? CODE1: int main() { OVERLAPPED o; .. CreateIoCompletionPort(....);...
Hi all, This may be the most mysterious problem I've ever encountered. We have an IIS7 install with 3 Web Sites on it, each with it's own Application Pool. Once a day, for about an hour, a specific one of them goes down. What I mean by "goes down" is: It stops responding to requests for dynamic pages (ex. default.aspx) but will ser...
I have an application that makes use of the Mozilla LDAP library. We're diagnosing a problem involving the LDAP library failing to make a connection to the server. I'm attempting to get additional information from the LDAP library by tossing a debug version of the lib in with the application and enabling debug using ldap_set_opt. Unfortu...
Say I find a Windows developer with 10+ years of experience, great skills in C/C++ and excellent references as a versatile coder who gets things done. Can I hire him for development on the Linux platform and expect him to be efficient in production within a couple of weeks? Or is the threshold too high when speaking in terms of developme...
My application (the bootstrap application for an installer that I'm working on needs to launch some other applications (my installer and third party installers for my installer's prerequisites) and wait for them to complete.

I'd like to serve django application on windows XP/Vista. The application is an at hoc web interface to a windows program so it won't be put under heavy load (around 100 requests per second). Do you know any small servers that can be easily deployed on windows to serve a django app? (IIS is not an option as the app should work on all ve...
Hi guys, I have this problem. I have an handler to the mainWindow of a certain application, and I want to simulate a keypress on that application... I'm using sendMessage/postMessage api calls to do this. The reason why I don't use the .Net SendKeys function or the keybd_event of the win32 api, is that they simulate the keypress at a gl...
I am trying to telnet into a server using Python on Windows XP. I can connect successfully by typing 'telnet HOST PORT' which creates an anonymous connection. But Python's telnetlib.Telnet(HOST, PORT) returns 'Connection refused'. Telnetting in Java also fails. Spelunking shows that Python tries to create an anonymous socket connecti...

Not exactly about programming, but I need help with this. I'm running a development sever with WampServer. I want to install Python (because I prefer to use Python over PHP), but it seems there isn't an obvious choice. I've read about mod_python and WSGI, and about how the latter is better. However, from what I gathered (I may be wrong...

Lately I've been favoring using named pipes (option --enable-named-pipes) in MySQL running on windows, and connect via the .NET connector driver. It's often recommended for security purposes, but one thing it allows me to do is connect with "." as the connection string and develop on my PC and deploy to the server without having to chan...
