So I can ignore both messages then?
I am unaware of any circular reference stuff, I never had such a problem in C#;
I do recall C needed forward declarations once in a while, I trust C++ is the same.

Hi Buck,
I just learned C++ needs two arguments ina delegate constructor, the first one
being "this".
The following code compiles:
namespace test3 {
using namespace System;
using namespace System::ComponentModel;
using namespace System::Collections;
using namespace System::Windows::Forms;
using namespace System::Data;
using namespace System::Drawing;
using namespace System::Drawing::Printing;
public ref class PD : public System::Drawing::Printing::PrintDocument {
public:
PD(void) {
this->PrintPage+=gcnew PrintPageEventHandler(
this, &test3::PD::pdm);
}
void pdm(Object^ sender, PrintPageEventArgs^e) {
}
};
}
That's my longest C++/CLI program ever. Hope it helps.

Hi,
I have an application in C# which allocates 200MB of data from the unmanaged heap using the
[DllImport("kernel32")]
static extern void* HeapAlloc(int hHeap, int flags, int size);
I have another fucntion
[DllImport("cppwrapper.dll")]
private extern static int test(IntPtr DataOut, out string ErrorOut);
I want to pass the the pointer returned by HeapAlloc into the test function using the parameter DataOut instead of string as I run into OutofmemoryException randomly(There is a limitation on the managed heap). But I am constantly getting the system.accessviolation exception.
The body of test method looks like
SOME_API int test(LPSTR* DataOut, LPSTR* ErrorOut)
{
return _lpsomefunction(DataOut, ErrorOut);
}
Can someone guide me in the right direction...

Hi,
it would be more accurate to use:
[DllImport("kernel32")]<br />
static extern IntPtr HeapAlloc(IntPtr hHeap, int flags, int size);
since both hHeap and the return value are pointers (hence 4B on Win32 and 8B on Win64,
exactly what IntPtr gives you).
As such you can pass the return value to your test method.
But then I am puzzled as to why you would use HeapAlloc at all.
You could allocate a byte array of the same size, and use GCHandle class
to "pin" it in memory, then get its pointer (which is an IntPtr obviously).
That way you get managed memory that will not move, and will live until
you Free the GCHandle.

Sorry if this bothered you. Since there was some C++ involved in the problem so I posted this question.

No problem I was just giving Luc a hard time.

Hi Mark,
no we are not colonizing the C++/CLI forum  ; I just copied and improved two lines
of code from the OP and introduced some .NET stuff that exists for all CLR
languages AFAIK.
If, however I had known at that time that the identical question was posted
in the C# forum, I would have answered it there (identically). As it is, I told him
overthere not to duplicate stuff...
Please feel free to adjust whatever I may have messed up language wise.

Thanks a lot for the reply.
I will try and see if it works.
|
|
|
|

Sometimes I have to allocate more than 500 MB of data. In such situations I run into OutOfMemoryException.
The real problem here is a third party API I am using expects string as an input parameter which can sometimes be as large as 800 MB.
That why I am using HeapAlloc. HeapAlloc has worked fine for me so far without any problems.
|
|
|
|
|
OK
I hope you don't forget to release that memory eventually...
You probably should make a managed object that allocates, pins, provides the
pointer, and has a Dispose/finalizer/destructor to make sure it gets freed too.
You might want to look at the LP_Pinner class in my TrayIconBuster article.

I do a HeapFree everytime. Actually I am running this on a Grid environment with 1000's of items and each item is memory intensive and each item sometimes goes beyond 1.5 GB. But after every run the memory comes back to 60 mb or so.
I will try whatever you said.
Thanks again for all the valuable information.

This is purely a guess on my part, but perhaps you might consider using VirtualAlloc instead of HeapAlloc?
Maybe the VirtualAlloc will be able to provide all the memory you need without OutOfMemory exceptions.

1. I am writing a program to access parallel port in Windows XP.
2. taking help from net i found a program called UserPort which opens ports.
3. Using a small program in C using stdio and conio include files i could access the port.
4. However the problem is i have to write code in C++ and when i try to compile the same code in C++ as a .cpp file the compiler gives an error saying "_outp undeclared " and " sleep undeclared". the sme code compiles properly in c using same IDE.
5. I am using Dev-C++ 4.9.9.2. I cant use any other compiler.
6. My code is given below as a c file
/*********************************************
binary counter : This will count from 0 to 255 This takes printer port address as 0x378 and pauses for 250 mS between every count
**********************************************/
#include <stdio.h>
#include <conio.h> /*required for _outp*/
int main()
{
int x;
for(x = 0;x<=255;x++)
{
_outp(0x378,x);
sleep(250);
}
return 0;
}
7. Pl help. Its urgent.

I'm not sure why you'd post this on a Managed Visual C++ message board.
In Visual C++, the CRT function _outp() is declared in <conio.h>
I can't see what header files you've included in your code.
There's a Sleep() (with a capital S) Windows API

Hi
I don't know the answer to Shaleen's question but I have a question of my own.
1. I'm also writing a program for parallel port communication in Win XP. I've used the code in http://www.codeproject.com/system/AsefPortAccess.asp as a guideline.
2. When running the program, the line "_outp(0x378, iByte);" gives an error. On debugging I tracked the error to the assembly code line "1022CC4B out dx,al" which gives the error "Unhandled exception in ParallelComm.exe (MSVCRTD.DLL): 0xC0000096: Privileged Instruction."
I'd appreciate it if someone could help me out here

Please help me out in compiling this.

First of all, you are in the wrong forum. Please ask this type of question in the C++ forum not the C++/CLI (Managed C++) one. I believe you need to use: #include <iostream> rather than #include <iostream.h>, which is deprecated, as the error message suggests. Also, cout is found in the std namespace.

There was discussion with my fried about inheritance. He argued with me that inheritance is not for reuse. He is telling that inheritance is for extendibility and specialization. But I may books it is referred that inheritance is for reuse.
So I like some experts to explain this in details.
When I go ogled I got both the answer that is some people are telling that is for reuse, while others are telling that, it is for specialization and expandability.
Thanks in advance,
Nandu

Hi,
it depends on your definition of reuse.
1.
if you copy-and-paste some code from app1 to app2, are you reusing it ?
2.
if you need some class, and later on you create a more specialized class using
inheritance because you actually need both classes, then you are specializing,
expanding and reusing at the same time. Here reuse means the specialized class
is inheriting existing code that it does not contain itself.
3.
if you have app1 with class1 and app2 with class2, and then discover a lot of code
if common to both class1 and class2, you may be able to come up with a new
class0 that is to contain the common parts, then have class1 and class2 inherit
from it. So you reuse the common code from class1 and class2 by removing it and
inserting it in class0. class0 being more general than both class1 and class2,
has a better probability of being reused-as-is in a later app3.
Hope this helps.

Same thought Luc Pattyn , but for the above answer his reply is why derive from that class0, instead we can create a object of class0 and call its methods in calss1 or calss2.
