any reason why you don't use C++ memory management (new and delete) ??
|
|
|
|
|
The first one means that the heap manager does not think that you are freeing a pointer to a valid block of memory. The second usually means that you ran off the end of a block of allocated memory.
If the two errors happen on blocks of memory that were allocated back-to-back, I would think that you walked off the end of one block stepping on the next.
Check any code that copies data into the memory referenced by those pointers to make sure you are keeping the correct size constraints.

From here i have downloaded the DLL
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms181002.aspx
How do we use VB.NET DLL in VC++...?
Thanks in before

Hi all 
I have found following code and have some questions :
void CCOde::Foo(LPCTSTR lpszFont, int iSize)
{
ASSERT(iSize > 0);
ASSERT(iSize <= 72);
ASSERT(lpszFont);
ASSERT(AfxIsValidString(lpszFont));
if (iSize > 0 && iSize <= 72 && lpszFont && AfxIsValidString(lpszFont))
{
}
}
Why is this coder writing so many ASSERT-s here when after he anyway checks the same conditions in if operator ?
I am a little bit confused...
Could someone also give me a good samples where I will see the neccessity of ASSERT macros ? Why are they
useful ?
thank you

Because it is much easier to debug. If you call the function and did something wrong when passing the parameters, with a simple if case, you need to pass an error back and then you need to check for this error everytime you want to use the function.
Here you just have an assert that will be fired if something went wrong.

Surviving the Release Version[^] and go to the ASSERT and VERIFY paragraph (about average the page).
ASSERT purpose is to test an assertion, that mean the "equality" of a variable with a certain value.

There is a good answer to this question, but you, as the programmer, have to make a design decision about Foo(). The question you should ask is this:
Is it legal for another programmer to call Foo() with a null pointer?
or phrased differently:
If a programmer passed NULL to Foo(), would that be a bug in the calling code?
If you decide that getting NULL is an illegal condition (based on how you designed Foo()) and indicates a bug in the calling function, then you should use ASSERT. If, on the other hand, Foo()'s design makes getting a NULL pointer reasonable, and would not indicate a bug in the caller, then you should be using the if.
You'd use both when getting a NULL would indicate a bug, and when you'd still want the code to behave intelligently even when it gets garbage. The typical scenario would be aircraft controller software, or radiation machine software. Bugs in either of these pieces of software could be deadly and so you'd keep the if just in case a bug makes it into the final code. Hopefully the ASSERT would alert you to the bug long before then.
Probably the best way to figure out whether to use an ASSERT or an if is to follow this guideline:
Completely finish the function as you intend to ship it. Once you're convinced that you've got the code as you plan to ship it, _only then_ do you add assertions (and debug code), _without_ changing what your ship code does.
Remember, debug code is strictly _extra_ code.
Using this guideline, you can see that if your ship code has to handle NULL pointers, then you have to use an if statement to handle the NULL pointer. If the ship code doesn't have to handle the NULL pointer, then you can ASSERT that getting one is illegal so that it alerts callers to their bugs.
The main difference between ifif tests are for conditions that you plan to deal with. Assertions should not take the place of normal error-processing code. They should be used to flush out defects in your code. Put differently, an assertion should never fire unless there is a defect.

Hi All,
I have a application that uses buttons, combo box's etc. Using VS2005 Express in debug mode, all the controls are in the XP theme. But if I build the same image in release mode, the controls revert back to 95/98 controls. Now if I make the linker not embed the manifest, then I add the following lines to the manifest file:
<dependency>
<dependentAssembly>
<assemblyIdentity type="win32" name="Microsoft.Windows.Common-Controls" version="6.0.0.0" processorArchitecture="x86" publicKeyToken="6595b64144ccf1df" language="*"></assemblyIdentity>
</dependentAssembly>
</dependency>
And all is well. But now, how do I get the linker to embed it in the exe?
regards,
Rich

You add the manifest file to the executable's resources with a specific Resource Type (that I cannot remember at the moment, but a Google search should help you out here).
You could also place the manifest file in the same run directory as the executable when it is deployed and that will work, too.
Peace!

Thanks. I have taken the later option, but now run against the problem where people will complain if they have to copy 2 files (the previous version was just an exe).
Do you know how to add it to the resources using VS2005 Express?
Express complains that it is not able to edit resources when I tried to open a .rc file.

Rich

Following is the code from MFC frame work,
if I call "pThread->InitInstance()" method application is calling CWinApp->InitInsatnce() method,
CWinThread is super class of CWinApp when I call with super class object "InitInsatnce" method
it should call CWinThread:InitInstance method,
how it is going to sub class,
can any body explain to me
thanks,
Siva

Why would you want to call this method directly? It is a virtual method that is intended to be overridden.
Other than that, I'm not really sure what it is that you are asking.

I have one server and three clients, Messages come as XML format from client1 and I have to send it to client2 (without knowing the content of the message)through server and then send back the ACK to client1 when client2 gives it to server, Now the problem is that if client1 sends a particular message to server(say if the message is sign on request)I should send it to client3 through rotor and internet and then get the response back from cliet3 and send it to client1 and client2( )
I have a socket class written for this problem but I do not know how to handle the WHOLE THING. I guess I hould check the content of the message that comes from client1 in my APIClass and then use different sockets to send it to different clients.
Please help me to solve this issue

Sounds like you have to define a nifty little protocol of your own, where you can distinguish the different message types from each other. The payload of each packet could be the XML info.
Or perhaps I didn't understand your problem correctly... 
Hope it helps anyway

Hi there.
----Client 1
------ |
Server| --------+---Client 2
------ |
----Client 3
Two solutions come to mind. My assumptions
. your server is acting as a proxy - i.e. clients 1,2,3 only talk to the server, not directly to each other.
. client 1 is only ever a socket client, it does not listen for a connection
. client 2,3 have sockets open waiting for a connection from the server.
Firstly, if you want one socket listening on your server, you will have to inspect the messages.
No sign message
The steps,
. Client 1 sends message
. Server (starting a new thread for the connection) inspects message and opens a connection a connection to client 2 and sends message to client 2
. Client 2 ACKS message to Server
. Server ACKS message to Client 1
Sign on request message
. Client 1 sends message
. Server (starting a new thread for the connection) inspects message and opens a connection a connection to client 3 and sends message to client 3
. Client 3 signs and returns to the message to the server.
. Server opens a connection a connection to client 2 and sends signed message to client 2
. Client 2 ACKS message to Server
. Server ACKS message to Client 1
Alternatively, if you use two different sockets on your server, one for signed messages, one for normal messages, then you will not have to inspect the messages on the server.
Remember to use threads when accepting your socket connections.
Hope this helps concrete your design.
Cheers

Tnx for the help,
Here what I have is that in the code I have a messagetype as PKT_MSGTYPE_FORM_DATA which I receive from client1 (a small machine programmed by micro C a wireless thing working like a intract machine) my program recognizes this Form if it's value is 0F(Hex) and if it's first byte (the string) is number 04H it should send the packet to client3 otherwise send to client2,
could you help me to write the C code for this problem?
also as I am new in socket programming, I am not sure how to handle all the socket thread stuff
SOS
tnx a lot!

Hello.
I'm not an artist, but I need some graphics for icons, buttons, bitmaps and want all this stuff to look professional.
How you solving that problems?
If existing any good icon or bmp libraries for non-artist programmer?
Or if you paint icons bmps by own what editor you use?
Thanks.

Sounds like we are the opposites, I am a graphic designer and know only the basics of programing. Needless to say I am always being complemented on the good graphics in my games but not so much for the playability.
