Memory leak! need help - C / C++ / MFC Discussion Boards

VS2005 has all of this built in for C# and VB.NET, but sadly, not for C++. I reckon once it hits the market, there will be a real call for this stuff in the C++ IDE, and some products will come out to support it.

Anyone who knows what this means? I'm trying to launch IExplorer.exe in Program Files section
I have Windows Pro SP2 installed and everything else is working! Also Visual studio 6.0 installed,
I will be most grateful of any answers on this matter

What's exactly your problem? The MS document you quoted has nothing to do with launching Internet Explorer.

Eg when I try to run Internet Explorer then Visual C++ 6.0 causes a runtime error
due to the visual c++ runtime libraries .The explanation that is given in this article
is that when msvcirt.dll (or msvcrt.dll ) is used with /MD compiler directives a runtime error
occurs in Windows XP SP2 when Visual Studio 6.0 is installed, which I am positive about is the root of this problem .Also I am referring to this article because I am convinced in doing so .
I quote:

C Run-Time Library (without iostream) Characteristics Option Defined
LIBC.LIB Single threaded, static link /ML
LIBCMT.LIB Multithreaded, static link /MT _MT
MSVCRT.LIB Multithreaded, dynamic link (import library for MSVCRT.DLL) /MD _MT, _DLL

Standard C++ Library Characteristics Option Defined
LIBCP.LIB Single threaded, static link /ML
LIBCPMT.LIB Multithreaded, static link /MT _MT
MSVCPRT.LIB Multithreaded, dynamic link (import library for MSVCRT.DLL) /MD _MT, _DLL

Old Iostream Library Characteristics Option Defined
LIBCI.LIB Single threaded, static link /ML
LIBCIMT.LIB Multithreaded, static link /MT _MT
MSVCIRT.LIB Multithreaded, dynamic link (import library for MSVCIRT.DLL) /MD _MT, _DLL

Now check this!This problem may occur when you use the /GR and the /MD compiler switches, and the version of the Msvcrt.dll file and of the Msvcirt.dll file is 7.0.x.

Thus When I run my custom Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 program in Microsoft Windows XP, I receive the following error message:
This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. Please contact the application's support team for more information.

I perform a search on MyComputer after "msvcirt.dll" and found several versions installed.
However in windows\system32 there is version 7 (cf article that I quote ) which is the same
latest version of a visual c++ runtime library.A Hotfix resolve this problem but i cannot obtain this via internet.I hope I have stated my problem clear .
I will be grateful of help or information on this matter.

in visual c++ 2002 i created a win32 application... (unmanaged).. how do i make a button, dialog, textbox, etc? i've programmed in c# before but i know that is nothing like unmanaged c++. i have "c++ for dummies" and i hope that will help me but i dont want to make console applications, i want to make windows applications. i need to know where to start. thanks in advance.

What about MFC? Just create a MFC application and you can create your forms similiar to the way you do it in C#.
If you want it the hard way, do all your API calls like "CreateWindow" by yourself.

Hi - a Win32 project is perhaps the most difficult type of project to get together. Basically, you want to create an MFC project, MFC is a library that sits on top of Win32 and makes things a lot easier.

However, C++ is more complex ( and also more powerful ) than C#. I'd recommend you first do some console programming to learn the language, then buy a good MFC book before continuing.

Im relatively new to programming and have never come across a memory leak problem before and cant seem to figure out how to fix the problem. For some reason I have this memory leak

memory check error at 0x000349C1 = 0x00, should be 0xFD.

If you need more info to help me out just let me know. Thanks.

Looks to me like your program has not ended normally ( for example, you were debugging and just stopped without letting the program end ). The code in question is created by MFC, so unless you're underlying document object is leaking memory, I don't see how you can have done anything to cause it.

This means that you have corrupted your heap in some way. Is it possible that you have stepped outside the bounds of an array?

Hi,
I have many problems with pictures inserted in my documents after I compile them in Html Help Workshop. Sometimes the pictures are nt shown.
Anyone knows if this is a bug?
Thanks

a_kiani wrote:

Sounds more like the problem is with the path to the pictures. As you are aware HTML help is nothing more than a bunch of web pages compressed into one file. One easy way to make sure they all look the way the pages are suppose to is open them individually with internet explorer.

Set the image path relative to the base path and if it still happens, try to add the "BASE HREF" statement to set this base path.

... she said you are the perfect stranger she said baby let's keep it like this... Tunnel of Love, Dire Straits.

I'm working on a MFC application. I want to have some kind of a key mapper. I want to be able to convert key codes to the keys name - if for example the user presses "backspace", "Backspace" is displayed in some edit field.
Is there any easier way to do this than to set up a gigant switch and/or STL map, or is there even a pre-defined map or something like that?
You don't want to do work more that you have to! Wink | ;)

A switch is hideous. A map is made for this sort of thing. How huge can it be, anyhow ? I've built much bigger maps than this.

In MSDN: There is GetKeyNameText.

That was exactly what I was looking for! Cool | :cool:

Thank you very much!

Could you tell me what books like Real World .NET Application ?

The book has some good application for learning.

Thanks in advance

>>MaxHeap<array<int>> m; I'm using vc++. Why it is so

Because you need to pust a space between >>
Example:

MaxHeap<array<int> > m;

It'll work if you put the space in. The space is required, because the compiler see this >> as operator >> (instead of template brackets).

Hi,
I have a MDI project.
How can I exchange data from one Editcontrol to another editcontol. I open two instances of a view.
I change the text of the Editcontrol in one view.
Afterwards, I close the view. The changed text should appear to the second view in the Editcontrol.
Can you help me please?

Hi,

You may use the CDocument::UpdateAllView method.
This will call the OnUpdate method of all view instances which are currently displaying the same CDocument object.

Hi,
Thank you for your answer.
Is there in the forum possibly an example which I could look at myself the thing times?

Best regards
