1. Initialize all variables!
2. Use calloc if you aren't going to set the contents right away, or they will be set by another function.
e.g. Client - OpenPipe()
pPipeInst[PipeNumber] = (PPIPEINST) calloc (1, sizeof(PIPEINST));
Without this your first call to ReadFile will have random garbage in the overlapped structure which may cause it to fail or corrupt or hang.
3. you aren't using overlapped as intended. Your client main() spins on a non-blocking ReadPipe(). I expect that ReadFile() posts an overlapped read but doesn't finish, main calls again, pending still not done but tries to post another overlapped read using the same overlapped structure. This likely hoses the state of the first read and who knows what else. Easy fix: use GetOverlappedResult(..., TRUE) i.e. make it wait for the read to finish. Proper fix: Redo design to use overlapped properly.

The idea that I can be presented with a problem, set out to logically solve it with the tools at hand, and wind up with a program that could not be legally used because someone else followed the same logical steps some years ago and filed for a patent on it is horrifying.

Hello folks!
This is probably a very simple question i just don't know how to/where to look for the answer...so, i better give you an example:
typedef int(* FUNC_ONE)(int);
typedef int(* FUNC_TWO)(int, int);
int Func(int x)
{
return x;
}
int Func(int x, int y)
{
return x + y;
}
FUNC_ONE pFuncOne = Func;
FUNC_TWO pFuncTwo = Func;
My question is: how do i tell the compiler to use the one parameter version of Func when assigning the value to pFuncOne and use the two param version of Func when assigning the value to pFuncTwo . As it is written in the example it passes the first pointer assignment but gives error on the second one as it is trying to assign the first, one parameter version of Func to the FUNC_TWO type pointer too. I wonder, if i explicitly specify the types, like this:
FUNC_ONE pFuncOne = (FUNC_ONE)Func;
FUNC_TWO pFuncTwo = (FUNC_TWO)Func; will it use the correct function address or will it in both cases use the one parameter version just convert it to FUNC_TWO in the second assignment.
Thanks for any help in advance. Oh, and happy new year to you all!
p.s: i would like to solve this without having to rename the functions.

What happened when you compiled and ran it?
On my system it worked correctly, as the compiler figured out the correct call from the typedef and function signature.

You mean with the explicit conversion, right? Currently i am unable to test it in runtime because it is part of a bigger project and i still need to do a lot of work before it becomes "runnable".
An alternative solution for me could be to create another method (or two methods) with different names and same parameters and then from these call the right Func , but this isn't that elegant (but still less problematic than renaming the functions everywhere)...
I mean something like this:
int Func1(int x) { return Func(x); }
int Func2(int x, int y) { return Func(x, y); }
...
FUNC_ONE pFuncOne = Func1;
FUNC_TWO pFuncTwo = Func2;

I always have a couple of simple "test apps" on my machines (one C++ and one C#) which I can slot things into to try out if I'm unsure of how to do them, or of usages, or to try simple versions of algorithms, or just to test ideas. Easy to set up, and very handy.
There are three kinds of people in the world - those who can count and those who can't...

I just realized i have made a mistake, in our project the two "same-name" methods have different return types while in the typedefs i used the same for both and this caused the conversion problem, not that it couldn't decide which version of the function to use. Fixing the typedefs seems to have solved it. My bad. Thanks for the help anyways, i guess i should pay more attenction to details...

Just paste it into a simple console app and call from main() , takes but a few minutes to test.
Your alternative appears to be an equally good solution. Without knowing a lot more about your project it's difficult to offer much more advice. Either way you seem to have the answer at your fingertips.

Thank you for the suggestion, i sometimes do that too, should have thought of it this time too, guess i am tired. Aside of this, see my other post[^] for the "solution"...

I think your signature(s) say it all.
I'm sure you'll get it right after a good night's sleep ... and maybe some beer.

In your first example, the one without the C-style cast, the type system should prevent you from performing an illegal assignment -- in other words the right thing would have to happen or a compiler error be generated. Because the compiler will not allow the following:
typedef int(* FUNC_ONE)(int);
int Func2Parm(int x, int y)
{
return x + y;
}
FUNC_ONE pFuncOne = Func2Parm;
Once you introduce the explicit cast, I am not sure what will happen. I would have guessed that the compiler would report an ambiguity error (after all it could cast either pointer that way).

Have you considered using C++ virtual functions[^]... just a suggestion.

Thanks for the suggestion but i don't see how that would apply to this situation.

Well, when I saw function pointers I thought that the design pattern you try to implement is something like a callback or interchangeable functionality. In object oriented languages, polymorphism (virtual functions or delegates) provides exactly that and under the hood they are more or less function pointers, with the advantage that the compiler takes care of most things automatically (type safety, calling context). It could be worth to have a look at these possibilities.
For using virtual functions define a interface (pure virtual base class) that you can override:
class IFunctionInterface
{
public: virtual int Func(int x) = 0;
public: virtual int Func(int x, int y) = 0;
};
class CFunction1 : public CWhatever, public IFunctionInterface
{
public:
CFunction1 ();
virtual ~CFunction1 ();
int Func(int x) { return x; }
int Func(int x, int y) { return x + y; }
};
class CFunction2 : public CWhatever, public IFunctionInterface
{
public:
CFunction2 ();
virtual ~CFunction1 ();
int Func(int x) { return x + x; }
int Func(int x, int y) { return x * y; }
};
For delegates have a look at Boost library (function/bind/signal) or Fast C++ Delegates[^] here at CodeProject.
Hope this helps.

Hai,
I am Having A MFC DialogBox & I want to store some values to the DataBase.Can Any One Tell Me how to do this?Previously I haven't worked with Any Data Base Application.Can AnyOne Give Me Simple Examples On this.
Thanks

A lot of information is available here[^]. For examples you can browse the content on codeproject
You need to google first, if you have "It's urgent please" mentioned in your question.

Hi,
I am using CListControl in Dialog and one of the column is checkbox.How would I capture change (check/uncheck) in checkbox in any of the row.Thanks for help.
Regards

Did you actually put a check box in each row of that coloumn or just an ICON of check/uncheck marks?
|
|
|
|
|
conditional checkbox is present in few row. I just want to capture any change in any checkbox.
|
|
|
|

I hope you are showing the check box with LVS_EX_CHECKBOXES. If so, you will get the LVN_ITEMCHANGED notification when user checks or unchecks the check box. you can identify the state of check box by getting the state image of the item.
From MSDN:
"State image 1 is the unchecked box, and state image 2 is the checked box. Setting the state image to zero removes the check box."

how to contact the file extension with file type?
as we know, you can check the option of hidden known file extesion in windows, but how do we identify file extension through file type
|
|
|
|
|
try the SHGetFileInfo() with the SHGFI_TYPENAME flag.
|
|
|
|
|
You would need to know the format of each type of file that may exist. This information is specific to each application and is not something maintained by Windows itself.

You could try gettin an IShellFolder[^] interface of the desktop, maybe by using SHGetDesktopFolder[^], use its EnumObjects[^] method to enumerate the objects on the desktop, on every object you get, use GetUIObjectOf[^] to retrieve IExtractIcon[^] for it and then use the ExtractIcon[^] method of that to get an icon.
