Before delving into hex numbers and memory addresses, does anyone have any advice on using "#define new DEBUG_NEW" as an option in DEBUG in VS2003 Standard Edition?
I have the following switches on (/MDd, _DEBUG, /ZI) but as far as I can tell the compiler is not loading the debug library cos it comes up with the following "error C2665: 'operator new' : none of the 5 overloads can convert parameter 1 from type 'const char [71]'" in the "xmemory" file.
I assume this is because the compiler has translated the macro as a string and not a bunch of debug expressions. Is that the correct diagnosis?
What should I change in the project settings to get this to work?
TIA
PS Obviously, the point to all of this is hunting down memory allocations using "new".

Hello,
I think that you use the DEBUG_NEW macro without including the proper headers. You arn't using MFC are you? See here[^] for more details on DEBUG_NEW
The above method is very basic in detecting memory leaks. If you need good support for the leaks, I can suggest Visual Leak Detector[^] as an excellent open source tool. It worked for me in some of my projects.
Hope this helps

hi, is there anyway in C++ that I could get the size of a simple type array?
I'm trying to pass an array to a function without passing the size of the array..

not in general.
if you know the arrays are always allocated with malloc, calloc or realloc, you can use _msize to get the allocated size, then divide by the type size. but that's a giant hack and is very likely to lead to disaster (ex. if someone passes an array that was created on the stack or via new)
it's best to just pass the array size, or use a dynamic container like std::vector.

For that reason, I never could get the infamous countof to work!
#define countof(X) (sizeof(X) / sizeof((X)[0]))
Good to know why it doesn't work..

That macro only works if the compiler can see X as an array:
#define COUNT_OF(X) (sizeof(X) / sizeof((X)[0]))
void DisplayNumbers(int[6] numbers);
void DisplayNumbers2(int* pNumbers);
void DisplayNumbers3(int* pNumbers, int nSize);
void main()
{
int numbers[] = {1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13};
int nSize = COUNT_OF(numbers);
DisplayNumbers(numbers);
DisplayNumbers2(numbers);
DisplayNumbers3(numbers, nSize);
}
void DisplayNumbers(int[6] numbers)
{
printf("DisplayNumbers shows:\n ");
int nSize = COUNT_OF(numbers);
for (int i = 0; i < nSize; ++i)
printf("%d ", numbers[i]);
printf("\n");
}
void DisplayNumbers2(int* pNumbers)
{
printf("DisplayNumbers2 shows:\n ");
int nSize = COUNT_OF(pNumbers);
for (int i = 0; i < nSize; ++i)
printf("%d ", numbers[i]);
printf("\n");
}
void DisplayNumbers3(int* pNumbers, int nSize)
{
printf("DisplayNumbers3 shows:\n ");
for (int i = 0; i < nSize; ++i)
printf("%d ", numbers[i]);
printf("\n");
}
The output for this program would be:
DisplayNumbers shows:
1 2 3 5 8 13
DisplayNumbers2 shows:
1
DisplayNumbers3 shows:
1 2 3 5 8 13

True. Another alternative, which is used sometimes for arrays of pointers, are NULL terminated arrays.

no, but you might know the size as you explicitely told the amount of memory needed to build it...

thanks to all of you, I was thinking about using a special value to end my array as it's posted here...

Amazingly, this code seems to compile without errors in VC6. Are you able to repro this or am I doing something stupid?
#include "stdafx.h"
#ifdef _DEBUG
#define new DEBUG_NEW
#undef THIS_FILE
static char THIS_FILE[] = __FILE__;
#endif
<code>
CWinApp theApp;
void foo
(CString str)
{
}
int _tmain(int argc, TCHAR* argv[], TCHAR* envp[])
{
<code>
if (!AfxWinInit(::GetModuleHandle(NULL), NULL, ::GetCommandLine(), 0)) {
printf ("Fatal Error: MFC initialization failed");
return (1);
}
unsigned int x = 1;
foo (x); <code>
foo (1); <code>
return (0);

I would guess you are seeing an implicit constructor call, probably one of the CString(XCHAR c,int count = 1); variants.

VC7.0 and VC7.1 add a macro (ATL_CSTRING_EXPLICIT_CONSTRUCTORS, or something like that) to force compile errors in this case.

Hello,
I'm just curious why you define _tmain() in a MFC application?

It's a console MFC app (specifically, a test framework for a lib that happens to link with MFC).

I seem to have a compatibility issue with functions accessing the registry. All XP systems work well but 98 and 2K seem to decide they won't play. Its common to all Reg...Ex() functions. Anyone know how to solve this cross Windows issue before I start coding everything in 16bit.
Many thanks

Cracked it. Simple really...
<br />
<br />
ret = RegSetValueEx(kh2, key_type, 0, REG_SZ, (CONST BYTE *) key, strlen(key) + 1);<br />
<br />
if(ret != ERROR_SUCCESS)<br />
{<br />
ret = RegSetValue(kh2, key_type, (CONST BYTE *) key, strlen(key) + 1);<br />
}<br />
Just use the older code if the newer code fails. Bit of a faf, but it works.

 Hello.,
I developed an application which stores some data.
Next I create a setup file .
The SetUp file (If I installed in my Machine) works fine in my System, But It can not works fine in other machines.
=>Because I hard coded the DSN name as 'MyDSNName'
and Database Table as 'MyDataBase'
--
I wrote code like this.-=-->
-------------
CString sql,sDate;
CString sDriver = "MICROSOFT ACCESS DRIVER (*.mdb)";
CString sDsn;
CString sFile = "c:\\mydatabase.mdb";
CDatabase db;
sDsn.Format("ODBC;DRIVER={%s};DSN='MyDsnName';DBQ=%s",sDriver,sFile);
db.Open(NULL,false,false,sDsn);
CRecordset recset( &db);
------------
>>I want flexible code ,which works fine for all machines.,

You are using a DSN name that maybe it's not created in the others computers. This article[^]may help you.
