You can assign a process to selected processor(s) with SetProcessAffinityMask().

You could enumerate the current processes and check which processors each
is set to use, perhaps using these functions:

EnumProcesses()
OpenProcess()
GetProcessAffinityMask()
CloseHandle()

conversion problem

Hi,

Could someone please let me know why my code can not pass compilation? (VC++9.0,vista 64-bit)

The problems happens in the "<<" operator overload function. It seems my code can not pass some constness check.

#include <map>
#include <vector>
#include <iterator>
#include <algorithm>
#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

typedef pair<string,int> pairSI;

struct StringToSIPair
{
explicit StringToSIPair(int val) { intVal = val; }

pairSI operator () (string str)
{
pairSI psi = make_pair(str, intVal);
return psi;
}

int intVal;
};

void VecToMap(vector<string> &vecStr, int iniVal, map<string,int> &siMap)
{
transform(vecStr.begin(), vecStr.end(), inserter(siMap, siMap.begin()), StringToSIPair(iniVal));
}

ostream & operator << (ostream &out, map<string, int> &siMap)
{
for(map<string, int>::iterator it = siMap.begin(); it != siMap.end(); ++it)
{
out<<"key: "<<it->first<<" value: "<<it->second<<endl; // the compiler said there is a conversion problem
}

return out;
}

int main()
{
map<string,int> siMap;
vector<string> strVec;

strVec.push_back("bob");
strVec.push_back("alex");
strVec.push_back("alal");

VecToMap(strVec, 4, siMap);

cout<<siMap<<endl;

return 0;
}

regards,
Bob

First, I would recommend defining a type for your map. Something like :

typedef map<string,int> StringIntMap;

This could simplify some of the code.

Second, try using some temporary variables of the correct type to save the values of the first and second members of the iterator and then use those temps for the output. That should show you exactly what the compiler is expecting for variable types and allow you to cast if and as needed.

Hi, Rick,

Do you mean I should change the code like this?

ostream & operator << (ostream &out, map<string,> &siMap)
{
  for(map<string,>::iterator it = siMap.begin(); it != siMap.end(); ++it)
  {
string key = it->first;
int value = it->second;
out<<"key: "<<key<<" value: "<<value<<endl;
  }

  return out;
}

However, it doesn't fix the problem. I am confused because I think ostream has the ability to output string no matter it is const or not.

regards,
Bob

How to separate a specified number of Bits from a DWORD?

Joseph Marzbani31-Dec-08 8:16

Suppose we have a number of type DWORD and we want to extract four 6-bit number and a byte from it. Some thing like this:

(DWORD) ---> 10100101101000110100011010101001

(Result) ---> 101001 011010 001101 000110 10101001

If you want to introduce me 'Bit Field Operators', be aware! It does NOT work in this manner.

Thank you masters!

Just shift and mask it?
the byte: dword & 0xFF
last 6bit value: (dword >> 8) & 0x3F
next 6bit value: (dword >> 14) & 0x3F
etc?

Would that work?

Re: How to separate a specified number of Bits from a DWORD?

Possibly another approach is to use union. Just check the following code snippet.

// Disable the packing.
#pragma pack(1)

// Use the union to access bytes of DWORD.
union DWordParser
{
    DWORD DwordValue;
    BYTE Bytes[4];
};

// Using the parser.
DWordParser Parser;
Parser.DwordValue = 255;

// Now get 6 bits of 3ed byte.
BYTE ThirdByte = Parser.Bytes[2] & 0x3F;

But you have to sacrifice performance for readability. Wink | ;)

Jijo.

Stuck in ShowWindow

Hi all,
I have a multithreaded application written in c++ vs6.
I try to create a new dialog within an existing dialog in that application and when i call
ShowWindow(SW_SHOW)for the new dialog it doesnt do anything.
If i put a break point there, it seems that it stops in the call to ShowWindow and doesnt continue the execution.
Can someone explain this strange behavior and suggest a way to overcome this problem?
Thanks
Simon.

yes all these dialogs are created in the same thread.

To be more precise i call the create function for that dialog in the ctor of the containing dialog
and i call the ShowWindow(SW_SHOW) from within the OnInitDialog ,just before
i return true for the OnInitDialog.

If the containing dialog is used as the parent for the created dialog,
then that may not work - the parent dialog window (HWND) hasn't been created yet
at that point.

Try calling create for the child dialog in the parent's OnInitDialog() (after calling
the base class' OnInitDialog()).

I think you've enabled unicode in your project settings. Enclose all your strings inside _T() macro like as follows, so that they will switch accordingly to either ansi or unicode strings.

m_Pause.SetWindowText( _T("Pause") );

Hi all,

I have a doubt regarding window graphics painting.
As we already know we can draw a rectangle in window.
Ok...
Suppose I am drawing a rectangle with values ( 0, 0, 100, 100 ).

Now my question is,
can I draw a rectangle with values (0.5, 0.75, 100.1, 100.4) or something like that.

Why I am asking because, according to my understanding pixel is the smallest possible drawing resolution.

If it is possible, could you please help to implement that?

Regards,
Krishnakumar

GDI primitives accept only integers. You may use GDI+ (see for instance [^]).

The above is obviously true. GDI+ just gives a level of abstraction.

Tried the following code.

CDC* pDC = m_Window.GetDC();
Graphics graphic( pDC->GetSafeHdc());

CRect wRect;
m_Window.GetClientRect( &wRect );
wRect.DeflateRect( 0, 0, 1, 1 );
RectF rect( wRect.left, wRect.top, wRect.Width(), wRect.Height());
Color color;
color.SetFromCOLORREF( RGB( 100, 0, 0 ));
Pen pen( color );
graphic.DrawRectangle( &pen, rect );

rect.Inflate( -0.5, -0.5 );
Color color2;
color2.SetFromCOLORREF( RGB( 0, 100, 0 ));
Pen pen2( color2 );
graphic.DrawRectangle( &pen2, rect );

But the graphic.DrawRectangle( &pen2, rect ); draws the rectangle in the next pixel.
Is there anything additional to do to work the floating points?
