Thank you.I have doubt only in the memory part..I think I understand how values are being manupulated through pointers
can we do like this...
int *p,x // allocating 4 bytes for pinter p in memory;
float k //allocating 4 bytes.
p=&k // this will work very well.
Now,
k=&p // what will happen now
or k=&x;// if k has enough space to store the address of it can hold.
But then
*k should work ,I know,which will not
Thanks

An int* pointer can not (without perverse casting) point to a float. Simple pointers like the ones you're using will always be a fixed size; on 32-bit Windows this will be 4 bytes. The actual value of a pointer (the bit pattern in memory) indicates a location in memory where some data starts; the type of the pointer tells the compiler what type of data to expect. The example you gave will not compile - BUT if it did this is what it would be saying:
Make the pointer "p" point the data for the variable "k". When the user indirects through the pointer "p" treat the data as if it was an integer.

Thank you stephen,
Your reply forcing me to study stack and heap concepts of memory more deeply, though I know it theoratically.It would be nice,If you can point me to some good stuffs and articles.
Thank you...

hi,
I was facing a problem while i was developing a code, which should run on different OS like linux and windows. The only function in linux for which i could not find a windows equivalent was gettimeofday() which returns the system time. My only requirement in windows code is that I donot want any dependency on windows libraries. So, though there exists many functions in windows libraries to retrieve the system time, they all require either windows.h or some other specific windows based headers which i dont want.
So can anybody suggest an alternate to gettimeofday() which does NOT have any dependency on windows whatsoever but is a plain c/c++ implementation.
Thanks in advance for any help.

use SYSTEMTIME structure or CTime

these function are not available in LINUX, i believe User want to make Multiplateform Application!

#include <time.h>
#include <stdio.h>
void main( void )
{
char dbuffer [9];
char tbuffer [9];
_strdate( dbuffer );
printf( "The current date is %s \n", dbuffer );
_strtime( tbuffer );
printf( "The current time is %s \n", tbuffer );
}Does this help you? I got this from MSDN while searching for _strtime.

What's the point in using gettimeofday() under linux, which is a linux specific function, if you don't want to use the equivalent under Windows? The equivalent is the GetSystemTime() function, but since it is Windows specific, you probably don't want it. The only other way would be to use the standard C library time() function, but then why don't you just use that under linux as well?

You have to link to MSVCRT.lib or LIBCMT.lib library.

#if !defined(_MT)
#error _beginthread requires a multithreaded C run-time library.
#endif
Need to include the lines above in your file where you have used _beginthread and #include<process.h>
That should do the trick....

Its better if you use CreateThread Instead!

From MSDN:
CString str, str2;
int n;
for (int i=0;i < pmyListBox-><code>GetCount()</code>;i++)
{
n = pmyListBox->GetTextLen( i );
pmyListBox-><code>GetText</code>( i, str.GetBuffer(n) );
str.ReleaseBuffer();
str2.Format(_T("item %d: %s\r\n"), i, str.GetBuffer(0));
MessageBox(str2);
}

thx you for the replies  \o/
Hm the thing i want to do is.
When i'll doubleclick on an item then save me in a variable the number of the line
test.txt
tess.txt
test.mp3
test.doc
test.dll
if someone double click on test.mp3 it gonna say "you select 3 line"

Inside the message handler for double click...
int nIndex = pmyListBox->GetCurSel(); nIndex now contains the index of the currently selected item.

I got an MFC application where i have a Playlist.
the MFC application plays the mp3 via Winamp.
When i add a mp3 on the Playlist ,at the same time it is added on the Winamp Playlist.
There is a command on Winamp (takes int 1,2,....) which is the position on playlist
So when I doubleclick on an item on 5rd line it gonna give the int value 5 at a variable.
The same variable will be in the command on Winamp for position on Playlist

Yeah \o/ its great for a newbie like me (now i start learn C++)
I thought about adding a int counter++
m_ListCtrl("%d "+Filename ,counter);
so it would be
1 filename.txt
2 filename.mp3
3 dsffsfds...
And after with GetAt();, for the first character of each item , i could "read" the number of line
Just i wanted to ask if there was a way to avoid that .

1)Match the contents of the list box by iterating through the items. If you get what you want format the string . Add the name you want to and display the formatted string.
2)Use the listbox.GetCount() Method to get the number of items in the list box
3)For Clearing the list box use listbox.ResetContents()
Somethings seem HARD to do, until we know how to do them.

Hi,
It takes 1 minute and 850 ms for my FTP client(only upload) app(VC6) to
upload 300 local files(size: 10kb) to a FTP server in our LAN.The FTP server
is a Micosoft FTP Server of IIS.
Now we need to improve the app performance to reduce the 1 minute and 850 ms
to 1 minute or less. My app uses WININET api and WININET.DLL.
I tried to call InternetSetOption() with INTERNET_OPTION_WRITE_BUFFER_SIZE
flag to set the write buffer size to 8092.
I want to know what the default write buffer size is and whether the app
performance is better while the size is more.
Thank you in advance.

Hi Ive posted a thread titled: (problem with reading serial port) if that could help you..Im doing a two threads program the main one is in charge of user interface and write toport operations and the second oen is in charge with reading the serial port...
this is the reading thread code
void __fastcall read_thrd::Execute()<br />
{ FreeOnTerminate = true;<br />
<br />
OVERLAPPED osRead = {0};<br />
DWORD dwCommEvent;<br />
DWORD iBytesRead;<br />
DWORD BytesToRead = 128;<br />
<br />
osRead.hEvent= CreateEvent(NULL,TRUE,NULL,NULL);<br />
if (!SetCommMask(Form1->m_hCom, EV_RXCHAR))<br />
{<br />
wsprintfA(Form1->sBuffer, "LastError = %d", GetLastError());<br />
MessageBoxA(0, Form1->sBuffer, "SetCommMask() Failed", MB_OK);<br />
<br />
}<br />
<br />
while(!Terminated)<br />
{ dwCommEvent = NULL;<br />
if (!WaitCommEvent(Form1->m_hCom, &dwCommEvent, 0))<br />
{<br />
wsprintfA(Form1->sBuffer, "LastError = %d", GetLastError());<br />
MessageBoxA(0, Form1->sBuffer, "WaitCommEvent() Failed", MB_OK);<br />
break; <br />
}<br />
<br />
if (dwCommEvent & EV_RXCHAR)<br />
{ ReadFile(Form1->m_hCom, &Form1->sBuffer, BytesToRead, &iBytesRead, &osRead);<br />
<br />
FlushFileBuffers(Form1->m_hCom);<br />
<br />
} <br />
}<br />
void __endthread(void);<br />
}
now lets say that in order to do an operation i need so send a series of commands to serial port and receive answer to each one of them..
how can i synchronize the writing and reading between threads to it doesnt start writing new command untill it gets the answer from the device??
and what do you think about the code above??

Its Better you use CriticalSection when syncronizing within the Thread. you can do lioke this way
PSEUDO CODE
enum TRISTATE { eNoState,eON,eOFF}
Global TRISTATE g_bIsReadDataFromPort=eNoState;
Thread Writing
While(!Command)
{
EnterCritcalSection
if((g_bIsReadDataFromPort==eOFF)||
(g_bIsReadDataFromPort==eNoState))
{
g_bIsReadDataFromPort=eON;
WriteDataToPort
}
LeaveCriticalSection
}
g_bIsReadDataFromPort=eNoState;
Thread Reading
While(!Command)
{
EnterCritcalSection
if(g_bIsReadDataFromPort==eON)
{
g_bIsReadDataFromPort=eOFF;
ReadDataFromPort
}
LeaveCriticalSection
}
g_bIsReadDataFromPort=eNoState;
CriticalSection and Boolean variable will work in tandum, syncronize your data transfer

I dont know much about CriticalSection ..I will try to learn more about it..but as I pointed, Im not synchronizing within the thread ..the write operation and read operation are in different threads..I was thinking of using WaitForMultipleObjects or something like that..but from searching I saw few codes using OVERLAPPED osWrite ,osRead and osStatus(or osEvent) and Im confused about where to and how to use them??
