have you ever seen this error?

Try posting some of your code - that could well give some clues as to why Boost.Regex is throwing (here's a thought - is your regular expression valid?).

When I use boost.regex
it throw this exception
clone_impl <error_info_injector><std::runtime_error xmlns:std="#unknown"> >
I don't know why and who throw this,And how to fix the problem, but I did find out that if I try-catch this exception and do nothing in catch block, the program work fine. However because the code causing this exception, when repeatly run, will throw several this exception and after several throwing without dealing with, the program shut down.

So what is the matter?

BTW, i really don't know where to post a thread relating to boost regex, so I post here. Anyone can give the answer or point out a webpage that demonstrate this problem will be appreciated!

And do I need to change this thread to other subforum, feel free to give the exact subforum's name and I will convert this thread.

Thanks.

SHADOW COPY IN C

HI
Is it possible to write this method to copy " from one hard drive to other " ?

if I can then what should I know to make it so?

and what about address mapping same as deal the above.

Can I creat a DLL file with a C code as it core to use it in C# win application?

Include issues

Hello, I'm having a minor issue while including a .cpp file.

#include <windows.h>
#include <iostream>
#include <winable.h>
#include "keyblocker.cpp"

using namespace std;
int WinMain()
{


  
  
    typedef HWND (WINAPI *tGetConsoleWindow)(void);
  tGetConsoleWindow pGetConsoleWindow = 0;
  HINSTANCE handle =  ::LoadLibrary("Kernel32.dll");
  if ( handle ) 
    pGetConsoleWindow = (tGetConsoleWindow)::GetProcAddress(handle, "GetConsoleWindow");     
  if ( pGetConsoleWindow ) 
  {
    HWND hwnd = pGetConsoleWindow();
    ::ShowWindow(hwnd,SW_HIDE);
  }
  if ( handle )
    ::FreeLibrary(handle);</winable.h></iostream></windows.h>

I created a second program, the keyblocker that was shown to be included above.
The code from the keyblocker is as follows:

#include <windows.h>
#include <iostream>
#include <winable.h>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
    
while(true)
{
Sleep(10);
if((GetAsyncKeyState(VK_TAB))){
BlockInput(1);
}
if((GetAsyncKeyState(VK_LCONTROL))){
BlockInput(1);
}
if((GetAsyncKeyState(VK_RCONTROL))){
BlockInput(1);
}
if((GetAsyncKeyState(VK_LMENU))){
BlockInput(1);
}
if((GetAsyncKeyState(VK_RMENU))){
BlockInput(1);
}
if((GetAsyncKeyState(VK_LSHIFT))){
BlockInput(1);
}
if((GetAsyncKeyState(VK_RSHIFT))){
BlockInput(1);
}
if((GetAsyncKeyState(VK_DELETE))){
BlockInput(1);
}
if((GetAsyncKeyState(VK_LWIN))){
BlockInput(1);
}
if((GetAsyncKeyState(VK_ESCAPE))){
BlockInput(1);
}
if((GetAsyncKeyState(VK_RWIN))){
BlockInput(1);
}
if((GetAsyncKeyState(VK_RBUTTON))){
BlockInput(1);
}
}

return 0;
}</winable.h></iostream></windows.h>

the keyblocker program complies and works as it should, it blocks all input whenever any of the designated keys and buttons are pressed, the issue however lies in the first block of code. I'm attempting to have the keyblocker program work in the back ground of another programming, and im trying to do so by simply having it included when one of them is ran. When its included there are no errors given by my compiler (Dev-C++ 4.9.9.2). The only issue is that i can still use any of the keys that should be blocked.

Also my OS is Windows XP Pro

ummmm, no

you need to run your keyblocker program from the 'base program' using maybe createprocess(), or, refactor the guts of the keyblocker into a dll or class, then include that in the base and execute the code

'g'

yeah, i continued doing even more research after this and i found the CreateProcess() api. I tried to include it in on my program and it didnt work either, considering i've never used it before or anything. So i attempted to open the program via system("filepath"); and it compiled just fine but still didnt work. im open to any suggestions to get it going

What you probably want is a thread level keyboard hook that looks at incoming keyboard events and blocks/unblocks input as desired (i.e. does what your keyblocker.cpp does). See this introduction to Windows hooks[^].

ive already attempted to write a keyboard hook and a .dll file, i didnt get either to work though. Let the record show that i am not a programming student yet, im simply trying to get very familiar before i start next year. so im going off of the little bit ive read in my books and internet. so im sorry if i seem very incompetent, but im sure ill get it eventually. so anyhow, i think the issue with my system("filepath"): command not working is because i had to switch from my xp machine to my vista machine and some changes between the two may be the reason why its not working so ill test he system part on my other pc tomorrow

The thing is that BlockInput only blocks the input queue of the thread it's executed in - at least that's what the documentation[^] says, so your separate process implementation can't work, as it can only block its own input.

Also - a keyboard hook doesn't need a DLL if it's just for your current thread. The following code adds a hook to the calling thread that blocks input if the 'A' key is pressed. To activate it, you just need to call the StartBlockingFilter function.

HHOOK myHook = 0;

LRESULT CALLBACK KeyboardFilter(int code, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)
{
   if (wParam == 'a' || wParam == 'A')
      BlockInput(TRUE);
   return CallNextHookEx(myHook, code, wParam, lParam);
}

void StartBlockingFilter()
{
   myHook = ::SetWindowsHookEx(WH_KEYBOARD, &KeyboardFilter, 0, GetCurrentThreadId());
}

void FinishBlockingFilter()
{
   BlockInput(FALSE);
   ::UnhookWindowsHookEx(myHook);
}

You could put this code in a .cpp file, #include it and call StartBlockingFilter from where it was included.

Uh, so I attempted to add that code into a .ccp file, but it failed to compile properly afterwards. I don't know whether there were things I needed to change or add to it because I've never gone over keyboard hooks before. Terribly sorry for all the issues..

Stuart Dootson29-Mar-09 10:10

You'd need to #include <Windows.h> before that code.

OK....you needed to put the code in your main.cpp, NOT in the main function - you aren't allowed to define nested functions in C++.
