I keep getting compiler errors from this file
wincrypt.h 
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\Vc7\PlatformSDK\Include\WinCrypt.h(249): error C2501: 'HCRYPTPROV' : missing storage-class or type specifiers
I've downloaded tutorials from this site..http://www.ultimategameprogramming.com/

#define _WIN32_WINNT 0x0600
#define WINVER 0x0600
and u better use the latest sdk from ms - its free
|

Where do I put these declarations? I put them in wincrypt.h and in winbase.h. Still no luck...
Thanks for your help.

put them in your stdafx.h or in the source file where you include wincrypt.h you should not be modifying system headers! dingbat!
|

|

Well I tried that with a project having only one source file and no stdafx.h and it didn't work.

As a last measure, u can define it in your code:
<br />
typedef unsigned long ULONG_PTR;<br />
typedef ULONG_PTR HCRYPTPROV;<br />

Hi
I wrote this.
int SelectTest(char * strTest,...)
{
va_list marker;
char *temp = NULL;
va_start( marker, strTest );
temp = strTest;
while(temp)
{
//doing something with 'temp'
temp = NULL;
temp = va_arg( marker, char*);
}
va_end( marker );
...
}
if I call the function with 2 params like SelectTest("test1","test2");
va_arg is called 3 times rather than once.
and last two calls return garbage value (like "\?" )
And I know it would be better to call with Null parameter
(SelectTest("test1","test2",NULL);
Except this, any better idea?? thanks.

Well, u said it yourself, u better call with NULL in the end of arguments. Coz if u dont, how would your loop know where to end?
The thing is that va_arg doesn't see any 'end_of_args' marker simply because there isn't any end - its just stack and stack all the way down

Nope. Variable-argument lists must have a terminator.

How do you interpret this:
while (*p++);
|
|
|
|
|
LABEL:
if(*p)
{
++p;
goto LABEL;
}
Think about it!

I actually thought about it, and your interpretation doesnt seem to match what is working.
This piece of code is from:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/fileio/fs/obtaining_a_file_name_from_a_file_handle.asp
where p initially points to a:
A:\\0C:\\0D:\\0\0
where \0 represents a single NULL character.

I am surprised I even looked at that code.
What I showed you was a litteral interpretation of the code you presented. I could even present it in assembly if required (which I will not do).
Let's break it down:
1) Copy the current value into a temporary variable.
2) Increment the current value.
3) Check if the temporary value has a value other than zero. If it does not then stop looping.
That is how it works!

With your solution p will point to the first NULL from the beginning, which is not really correct. it will point to the char after the first null. try to trace it and see. but be careful with the string you use, or your program might crash. for eg, use "a\0bb\0ccc\0\0dddd"
I can understand, the code is very deceptive. only a few get it right the first time, and I am not one of them either 
thanks!

Lets make it more accurate then:
343: char* p = "123";
0043CA51 mov dword ptr [ebp-14h],offset string "123" (004df014)
344: while( *p++ ) {};
0043CA58 mov eax,dword ptr [ebp-14h]
0043CA5B movsx ecx,byte ptr [eax]
0043CA5E mov edx,dword ptr [ebp-14h]
0043CA61 add edx,1
0043CA64 mov dword ptr [ebp-14h],edx
0043CA67 test ecx,ecx
0043CA69 je main+4Dh (0043ca6d)
0043CA6B jmp main+38h (0043ca58)
345: return 0;
0043CA6D xor eax,eax
0043CA6F jmp __tryend$_main$1+2Ch (0043cac0)
START_LOOP:
value_type = *p;
++p;
if( value_type == 0 )
goto END_LOOP;
goto START_LOOP;
END_LOOP:

Looks like someone is trying to write hard to read code, that does nothing.
I believe that * gets called before ++, which would mean that a pointer is dereferened, and incremented, then the new value is returned. This code will run until that value is zero, and it's basically the same as
*p = 0;
but it will take a little longer.

I dont understand what you maen by *p = 0, but this piece of code doesnt modify any data, only pointer advancement. and how that works is still mysterious to me.

It actually does the ++ first, which means that it increments the pointer until it points to NULL.

execution will take place from right to left
first the address store in p gets incremented then the derefrence of the pointer(new address stored in p) will take place.
Finally the condition will be checked by while loop.If it is non zero statements enclosed by while loop braces will be exceuted otherwise not.

There was a mistake in my previous post.I have rectified it
//first the derefrence of the pointer will take place and then according to that value conditon is checked
//check the condition in while
if(*p)
{
p++;
// statements inside while loop are executed
}
else //when while loop fails
{p++;}
//statements after while loop

The statement searches for the first byte after a zero terminated string.
It's useful when you're parsing a multistring, e.g. when you have a CFileDialog and the user has selected several files.
The response comes in a string where the files are separated with a single NULL char and the file list end with a double NULL char.
The statement mentioned would in such case find the next file name, or point to the second NULL char at the end of the list.

If p initially points to a character string then after while(*p++); p points to the 0 character that terminates the string.
So it is semantically the same as
p = p + _tcslen(p);
