Re: problem with multiple defined symbols

I see by your reply to sunit5 that you probably found the problem (declared but undefine variables).

As for specifing inline:
inline int func(int n) {...}

If the inline function is needed by several files, then you would place it in a header file.

If the inline function is only needed by one file, then place it in that file.

Given a choise between macros and small inline functions, prefer inline functions (when ever possible). This does not only make reading the code easier, it also lets the compilire validate the arguments (which prevents hard to find bugs).

i had similar problem.but i did a mistake.i defined an external variable in main.h.which was included in every .cpp file.one should only declare external variable ,functions, classes or structures.pls check out any defination is not present in main.h

I'm not sure what you mean here. but I do have defined variables as external in main.h, but I don't define them again in the other .cpp-files again (as I guess you had done)

aah now when I come to think of it (damn I'm a lousy c++ user Smile | :)

) I need to check if I defined those variable instead of declaring them

Search for a word in a file from code

Is there a way to search for a particular word in a file, no matter where it may be placed. I don't think opening the file and just using getline will work. Maybe there is a tool out there I can make use of in my code?

Sure. Open the file. Read the contents into a buffer. Search that buffer. Are you using C++, MFC, or just the Windows SDK?

I'm using C++, but I could use MFC if needed. I suppose I was thinking of using getline to read the contents of the file word by word. You mean that I should read the whole file into a buffer, not just word by word. That would make it a lot easier to go back and forth in my search. I suppose I just didn't think of it that way.

I am using rich edit control in dialog based application. I have copied this piece of code from a book but it is giving me an error. Please check what is this.

DWORD CALLBACK WriteEditData(DWORD dwCookie, LPBYTE pbBuff, LONG cb, LONG FAR *pcb)
{
CFile *pFile = reinterpret_cast<cfile*>(dwCookie);
try
{
pFile->Write(pbBuff,cb);
}

catch(CFileException *pEx)
{
pEx->Delete();
*pcb = 0;
return 0;
}
*pcb = cb;
return 1;
}

void CRE4View::OnBStr()
{
CFile fWrite("C:\\file.rtf", CFile::modeReadWrite);
EDITSTREAM strm;
strm.dwCookie = reinterpret_cast<dword> (fWrite); //error
strm.pfnCallback = WriteEditData;
m_Info.StreamOut(SF_RTF, strm);

}

Error message is,

error C2440: 'reinterpret_cast' : cannot convert from 'class CFile' to 'unsigned long'

Please reply.

I would think that since WriteEditData() is casting dwCookie to a pointer, then you would also have to send it a pointer like:

strm.dwCookie = reinterpret_cast (&fWrite);

I presume it would be something like:

CIcon icon;<br />
Bitmap *bitmap = icon.ToBitmap();

Fair enough, but if you knew enough to know about the ToBitmap() method, surely you could have figured out it was Icon instead.
