You are allocating the array, then it is your responsibility to keep the bounds as 0 and 64. ![Smile | :)](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/smiley_smile.gif)

I think you mean 0 and 63.
I must get a clever new signature for 2011.

yes.. of course it is!! thanks for pointing about that small but BIG mistake.. ![Thumbs Up | :thumbsup:](https://www.codeproject.com/script/Forums/Images/thumbs_up.gif)

My pleasure; it's your turn to catch me out next time.

yes, 0 to 63,
but i was in search of a function that returns the bound of an array,
as in vb UBound() and LBound() function is used. Is there any similer function that helps to acheive bounds in c++

Nope.
Otherwise you have to go for STL container classes in C++, collection classes in MFC, or your own array class to achieve this.

thanx.

pByte as you declared is just a pointer. You are putting the semantics of an array into it by assigning the memory for it. But the compiler has no way of knowing what, exactly this pointer is pointing to at any time.
In other words, no, the compiler cannot know what the semantics of the memory is that any pointer is pointing to, nor can any function.
That said, the above is not entirely true: when you compile your program in debug mode and check what new (and delete ) actually do, you will find that, internally, the system's memory manager indeed does store information about the memory being allocated, including the information whether this memory is for an array of objects or just one object. Therefore, if you try to release an array using delete rather than delete [] , you will get a runtime error!
If you want to, you can replace the system's operator new and delete with your own implementations. These could then store additional information, such as the number of elements being allocated, and then you could implement a function UBound() that takes advantage of that hidden information.

hmm, never thought of that. Rather clever!

Which is essentially what happens in debug mode.

Since it is C++, why not make your own little class that stores the length of the array.
class Buffer {
public:
Buffer(unsigned nSize) : m_pBuffer(NULL), m_nLength(nSize) {
if (nSize > 0) {
m_pBuffer = new BYTE[nSize];
if (m_pBuffer == NULL) {
m_nLength = 0;
}
}
}
~Buffer() {
if (m_pBuffer != NULL) {
delete []m_pBuffer;
}
}
unsigned GetLength() {
return m_nLength;
}
BYTE &operator[](unsigned nIndex) {
if (nIndex >= m_nLength) {
}
return m_pBuffer[nIndex];
}
BYTE *operator*() {
return m_pBuffer;
}
private:
BYTE *m_pBuffer;
unsigned nLength;
};
Then you can use it like
Buffer bufData(64);
strcpy(*bufData, "hello world");
printf("The valid range is 0-%u\n", bufData.GetLength() - 1);
printf("The 2nd character is \'%c\'\n", bufData[1]);
You still need to call delete pData; if the buffer was created with Buffer pData = new Buffer(64);

Problem is, when you write things like this yourself, you always forget something . Like declaring GetLength() const for instance, and having a const accessor.
std::vector<BYTE> is the way to go.
|

VS provides the macro
#define _countof(array) (sizeof(array)/sizeof(array[0]))
[Note: this can't be used for arrays allocated via new.]

In C/C++ there is nothing like lower bound of array is zero. Upper bound is 63 as you specified 64 (bcoz array starts with zero so 64-1).

I have used CString's GetBuffer() in a function like
PathCompactPath(pDC->GetSafeHdc(),strMPGFilePath.GetBuffer(),oRc.Width());
becoz PathompactPath() accepts LPTSTR as 2nd argument. So I have to Get the pointer to the Cstring object.
I have also called ReleaseBuffer() after that but application get crashed and break into the Release function of CSimpleStringT class. In my project Getbuffer has been used ( somewhere even without using releasebuffer ) and it works. I don't know why it's not working.

MSDN[^] says that the lpszPath parameter should have MAX_PATH of space allocated.
This should also correct the crash.
PathCompactPath(pDC->GetSafeHdc(),strMPGFilePath.GetBuffer(MAX_PATH),oRc.Width());
strMPGFilePath.ReleaseBuffer();

Hi All
I try to run dos command through mfc vc++.I know run dos command through .bat file.But my question is
Can i run dos command directly from code?
Please help me

Which DOS command are you looking to run from your c++ code?

The system()[^] command can be used to execute an operating system function.
Also read about it here[^].
You could also use CreateProcess[^] if you are wanting to execute a program

If you just want to run a command from you application, go fot the functions mentioned in earlier reply.
If you are aiming to run a command and show its output in a window in your application, you have to go for Pipe communication.
