Re: Reading a file from disk in C CPallini18-Jan-10 3:23 CPallini 18-Jan-10 3:23  YOu may use ftell [^] and fseek [^]for the purpose. Or you may use filelenght [^] (however you should pass a file descriptor to filelenght).

The idea I'm getting from you is to seek to the end of the file and use ftell() to give me the size. I believe that's what you are saying. Re: Reading a file from disk in C Electron Shepherd18-Jan-10 3:43 Electron Shepherd 18-Jan-10 3:43  You can do that, but that impliesm opening the file for (at least) read access. You could also use the _stat function. Server and Network Monitoring Re: The _stat function Danzy8318-Jan-10 3:56 Danzy83 18-Jan-10 3:56  Never met this _stat function before. Which header file is its prototype and how do I use it?

It was correct. Thanxxx! Re: Thanks CPallini and Covean CPallini18-Jan-10 6:56 CPallini 18-Jan-10 6:56  You are welcome.

And wasn't Ftell() not enough? long get_file_size(FILE* fp) return (ftell(fp)); So this one does the same? Or I'm getting old? Rozis Re: Reading a file from disk in C Joe Woodbury18-Jan-10 7:14 Joe Woodbury 18-Jan-10 7:14  Small FYI. If you are going to read a file entirely into memory, buffered I/O (i.e. fopen()) is redundant.) If you want to stay with the CRT, you are better off using the _open()/_filelength()/_read() functions. (I just use the raw Win32 calls, but all my work is highly Windows specific.)

Re: Using Zend library in vc++ Frank Seidler18-Jan-10 8:44 Frank Seidler 18-Jan-10 8:44  Hi, there is a tool to generate wrappers to call C/C++ from PHP and other script languages called SWIG ( see: http://www.swig.org[^] ). I've used it a few times to generate wrappers for perl. Hope this helps.

George Nistor18-Jan-10 2:28 George Nistor 18-Jan-10 2:28  Hi, Now I use a driver (first part of the code) - no changes possible. I have to use something like a message processing and because I'm unable to use an array of the internal buffers of the driver -> I use more then 10 function with the same code. here is my code I would like to use a vector of messages (message0, message1 ..). any other ideea is welcome of grouping these data types. thanks <pre>// Gateway_array.cpp : Defines the entry point for the console application. // #include "stdafx.h" typedef struct {    unsigned char signal7 : 8;    unsigned char signal6 : 8;    unsigned char signal5 : 8;    unsigned char signal4 : 8;    unsigned char signal3 : 8;    unsigned char signal2 : 8;    unsigned char signal1 : 8;    unsigned char signal0 : 8; } msgType0; typedef union {    unsigned char _c[8];    msgType0 msg0_0; } buf0; buf0   message0; typedef struct {    unsigned char signal7 : 8;    unsigned char signal6 : 8;    unsigned char signal5 : 8;    unsigned char signal4 : 8;    unsigned char signal3 : 8;    unsigned char signal2 : 8;    unsigned char signal1 : 8;    unsigned char signal0 : 8; } msgType1; typedef union {    unsigned char _c[8];    msgType1 msg0_1; } buf1; buf1   message1; /// ................................ /// UP is the Driver ..   No changes possible // X 8 times typedef struct {    unsigned char signal7 : 8;    unsigned char signal6 : 8;    unsigned char signal5 : 8;    unsigned char signal4 : 8;    unsigned char signal3 : 8;    unsigned char signal2 : 8;    unsigned char signal1 : 8;    unsigned char signal0 : 8; } msgType; typedef union {    unsigned char _c[8];    msgType msg; } type_array; type_array   Vector[2];   // i would like to use a vector like this one int main(int argc, char* argv[]) {       Vector[0] = message0; //error when using it       return 0; } </pre> Re: array of differents types (possible?)

George Nistor18-Jan-10 20:57 George Nistor 18-Jan-10 20:57  Hi with a union like this doesn't work either. I get ..cannont convert buf0 to unsigned char. typedef union {    buf0   msg0;    buf1   msg1; }   type_Array; type_Array   Vector[]={message0 , message1}; if i put like this, works: unsigned char x1; unsigned char x2; type_Array   Vector[]={x1, x2}; //(this doesn't seem to be logic i should have here a vector of 8 unsigned chars) so, the problem is the compiler see message0 of type buf0, somehow cannot use union definition. msgType0 and msgType1 are user defined types. Re: array of differents types (possible?) CPallini18-Jan-10 21:05 CPallini 18-Jan-10 21:05  Why you want to assign a unsigned char to a msgType0? It looks more reasonable something like msgType0 msg; unsigned char x = 0x20; msg.signal0 = x; If the Lord God Almighty had consulted me before embarking upon the Creation, I would have recommended something simpler. -- Alfonso the Wise, 13th Century King of Castile.

The upper section until // /// UP is the Driver ..   No changes possible // X 8 times I cannot modify! because of these individual buffers of the driver ... insted of writing a SINGLE! Processing message function - for all messaging (involving these individual buffers) (it is the same code) - I have a dozen function making same thing. Inside them I refer to buffers like message0._c[(i=1,n)]= value;   , next function message1._c[(i=1,n)]= value   etc. If i would have an ARRAY of message0, message1, I would write a single function. with my previous code I would refer these buffers with Vector[0].msg0._c[0]=1; //ok   // not usefull But how do I put in the code line section msg0?   the above line would be in a for. Maybe I was more clear explaiing my problem this time. I think the problem here is, basically I have a union inside a union.

Re: PeekMessage and DoEvents Covean18-Jan-10 2:33 Covean 18-Jan-10 2:33  Its a long time ago I wrote a message loop but this looks good. But do this in a while loop (because you should process all messages in the queue) till PeekMessage returns 0 (so no more messages are available). And maybe you should process the WM_QUIT message. Greetings Covean Re: PeekMessage and DoEvents Cedric Moonen18-Jan-10 3:01 Cedric Moonen 18-Jan-10 3:01  I don't know about all details of the DoEvents in VB but this code is doing something similar: it allows you to let the UI not freeze even if you are doing lenghty calculations. But everything should be explained quite in details in the article I gave you. Cédric Moonen Software developer Charting control [v3.0 - Updated] OpenGL game tutorial in C++ Re: PeekMessage and DoEvents Rajesh R Subramanian18-Jan-10 8:49 Rajesh R Subramanian 18-Jan-10 8:49  I just looked what the DoEvents call does and it looks functionally similar to the loop you've written. But it's just that in this case you're translating and dispatching the messages yourselves, but in the VB case you'll be transferring control to the OS and it does the thing for you. If you're going to use such a loop in your code, you may want to consider using a worker thread instead (but that really depends on what exactly are you trying to achieve). “Follow your bliss.” – Joseph Campbell
