You can still use threads to do the work and provide some kind of wait indication (cursor, status line, or self closing notification / progress window).
The advantage of using threads is that the GUI is not blocked and the user can do other operations meanwhile.
But using threads is not making something that requires an amount of time running faster (besides splitting the work and letting multiple threads perform the work in parallel). It just allows doing something else meanwhile.

You are perfectly right. Here is the scenario: I should start 8 CHtmlViews, every one of them with a specific web address, and do a login form. Now, every login task, take 3-4 seconds. If a do this for every 8 pages, the time until all 8 pages complete the login is ~30, 35 seconds, but, most important, the main thread, the GUI thread is blocked.
That is why I am trying to run every CHtmlView on separate thread, not because the login task is taken less time, but because is not block the main GUI thread ...

Put the communication tasks into there own threads and display a place holder in the view meanwhile. Once the communictaion is done, update the view with the data received in the background.
|

|
|
|
Unfortunately, the communication with the server is done by html page ... 
|
|

If have not used CHtmlView so far but I'm quite sure that the networking is done in a separate thread and there are notification messages informing you when a page has been loaded. Anything else would make no sense because a large download would block your GUI.
If your GUI is blocked, you are probably waiting somewhere inside a loop instead of handling notifications.

This is a good news. So, I will launch view after view to do a login to see how is moving my GUI ... if I think well, there is some methods on this CHtmlView which reveal that all tasks inside html gui is made somewhere in backside (I guess):
CHtmlView::OnBeforeNavigate2
CHtmlView::OnDocumentComplete
CHtmlView::OnDownloadBegin
CHtmlView::OnDownloadComplete
CHtmlView::OnNavigateComplete2
CHtmlView::OnNavigateError
CHtmlView::OnUpdateUI

I have few methods, in a CDocument class, which read from IHTMLElement get_tagName.
BSTR bstrTagName;
CString sTempTagName;
if (! FAILED(pElem->get_tagName(&bstrTagName)))
{
sTempTagName = bstrTagName;
sTempTagName.MakeLower();
AfxMessageBox(sTempTagName);
SysFreeString(bstrTagName);
}
which show in MessageBox html tags: input, div, span, and so on ...
if I try
BSTR bstrTagName;
CString sTempTagName;
if (! FAILED(pElem->get_tagName(&bstrTagName)))
{
sTempTagName = bstrTagName;
sTempTagName.MakeLower();
TRACE("%s\n", sTempTagName);
SysFreeString(bstrTagName);
}
I have in my debug window the first letter of every read tag:
i
d
s
and no entire html tag ... why in MessageBox I see whole word, but in TRACE macro I don't ?

The debugger does not always recognise that a character array may be Unicode, so you need to add the type to the variable name or address in the watch window.
|
|
|
|
|
You may need to add ,s or ,u to the variable being watched in the Watch window.

In watch window I can see the variables with their values normally, the problem is when I want to see them with TRACE macro, in my debug window ...

Try %S instead of %s.

Thanks - I've been looking for a few days for this solution. Works a treat

You are calling the TRACE macro with a char* format string but pass a CString which is wchar_t* with Unicode builds.
Use one of these:
TRACE(_T("%s\n"), sTempTagName.GetString());
#ifdef _UNICODE
TRACE("%ls\n"), sTempTagName.GetString());
#else
TRACE("%hs\n"), sTempTagName.GetString());
#endif
TRACE1("%s\n", sTempTagName.GetString());
Note also that I have used GetString() instead of the implicit CString LPCTSTR operator.

After creating a pthread, i am setting the thread id to a custom id using a map.
pthread_t threads[noOfThreads];
struct thread_data td[noOfThreads];
thread= pthread_create(&threads[i], NULL, startFunc, (void *)&td[i]);
setID(threads[i], td[i].thread_id);
SetID function
setID(pthread_t pid, int id ){
thread_ids[pid]=id;
definition of map
std::map<pthread_t, int> thread_ids;
I want to get the mapped value based on the key value in the following function but dont know how to do exactly.
getID function
getID() {
if (thread_ids.find(pid) ==thread_ids.end()) return -1;
return thread_ids[pid];
}
I am very beginner so spare me if i am making a stupid mistake and please point that and help me correcting it

Why are you using a struct for a simple value, i.e. int? And why do you need to map the real thread id to some other value? It is not really clear what you are trying to do.
|
|
|
|

I am planning to have more variable in the struct e.g.
struct thread_data {
int thread_id;
const char *message;
double result
};

The application in which i am creating pthreads is a simulation environment on top of which my actual thread scheduling library will execute so the each pthread act like virtual core. Each core(pthread) has its own work package queue from which it retrieves the package for execution and when it is empty it attempts to steal from other cores(via work stealing method). Every core has a package manager singleton class which is responsible for adding and getting the package from the queue. In order to access the other cores(using the singleton class) i need the mapping so that whenever each core access the package manager class (and its queue), it do based on the custom id.
I hope i explained it better this time

Why not the real id?

Hi all,
Tt's a HTML Input box like this.
<input id="testInput" name="testInput" value="" tabindex="0" />
and for some reason, I cannot use ASP.net textbox.
However, I need to disable it when a button is clicked (I tried both AUTOPOSTBACK and non-AUTOPOSTBACK button) .
I tried the followings in c# but none of these works.
Page.ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(this.GetType(), "clientscript", "document.getElementById('testInput').readOnly = true;");
Page.ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(this.GetType(), "clientscript", "document.getElementById('testInput').disable= true;");
Page.ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(this.GetType(), "clientscript", "document.getElementById('testInput').disable= 'true';");'
Please advice, thanks!

Would you ever do something like this:
std :: map<double, MyType, std :: less<double> >
I don't see a reason why not to do it, but I have a bad feeling doing it.
Any Remarks / objections?
Ok, this double - Key is a user Input with a known/limited number of decimal places. I could also take this into acount and use a
std :: map<int, MyType, std :: less<int> >
But why I should?
Btw: Performance is out of questions, the map size is Maximum 10 items.
Thank you very much in advance.
It does not solve my Problem, but it answers my question

In 64bit code (so using XMM registers) it'll probably work, unless any DLL secretly changes a rounding mode on you and "forgets" to set it back. In 32bit code (usually using the x87 FPU stack), who knows? The danger there as usual is that keeping a double in an FPU register keeps it at whatever value was actually computed (which depending on how stod works internally may have bits set in the part of the 64bit significand that extends beyond the 53 bits you usually get) while storing it to memory and reloading it changes the value, and this is something that compilers think is a normal part of how they work so they do it outside of your control, though you can force a store/reload to get a safer value to work with. So it may still work, but there are some sneaky conditions that may depend on specific codegen choices the compiler makes.

Thank you so much!
To be honest I don't get all of your explanations at the moment. But the most important Thing is, that you Point out, that there can be a Problem... and that corresponds with "my bad Feeling".
So now it will be my part to investigate more for possible pitfalls
Thank you very much again.
[Edit]
And please flag your Response as an answer, it is much more than a "general"

Simple answer: no. Double and float values have an inherent precision problem so you can never rely on two numbers being the same. You need to rethink your design.
|
|
|
|
|
This is really too pessimistic about floating point arithmetic though. There are definitely cases where doubles will reliably have exactly equal values. They're not non-deterministic, just hard to work with and 80bit nonsense messes things up extra.
|
|
|
|
|
This is really too pessimistic
No, realistic. Far too many people use floating point numbers where they are not necessary, or actually wrong.
