Hi,
I created template class just like:
template < typename T > class DataList
{
AddNode(const T val) // Input data must be read only
{
// some codes
}
// some more functions
};
In main():
LPCSTR str = "Hello"; // Const char string
DataList<char*> data; // Data list for char strings
data.AddNode(str); // Add the string
When compiling I get the error as...
error C2664: 'AddNode' : cannot convert parameter 1 from 'const char *' to 'char *const '
What could be wrong?
Thank you.

I am creating a general purpose linked list class.
It is basically used for numbers. In that case no problem.
I intended to use it for strings also. In that case the AddNode function is supposed to accept 'const char*' as input. In the template class I wrote some virtual functions that can be used for allocating memory for the strings, in the derived classe.
For example, in AddNode I will call a function like
virtual void SetVal(...);
In the base class, this function just copies the input value to the node value. But in the derived class, it will allocate memory needed for storing the input string to node value and copy the string using strcpy(...).
I think, you got what I want to do. I won doing this by excluding the const input string. But it is recommented that pass input strings as read only.

<br />
template < typename T > class DataList<br />
{<br />
public:<br />
AddNode(const T val)
{<br />
}<br />
};<br />
<br />
<br />
IN Main function <br />
<br />
LPCSTR str = "Hello";
DataList< char *> data;
data.AddNode((char*)str);
the above code satisfies your demand , i just type casted the LPCSTR to char *
and to access the AddNode declared it with Public scope .
If u want to check just try changing the { val="v";} u will see an compiler
error for constant.

I'm sorry, it will make every call to this function need a typecast, which is not acceptable...
Further more the input data is not sefe.
You wrote:
val="v";
In this, the pointer, val is become a const, that's why we cannot assign another pointer("v") to it. But we can change the contents, for example *val = 'a' or strcpy(val,"hi") is possible.

template < typename T > class DataList<br />
{<br />
public:<br />
AddNode(const T val)
{<br />
*val='a';<br />
}<br />
};<br />
<br />
<br />
In Main function <br />
<br />
LPCSTR str = "Hello";
DataList<const char *> data;
data.AddNode(str); <br />
Now in this code there is not type casting and also
the *val='a' ; condtion is satisfied .

I'm afraid that you forgot my problem. Actually our discussion reached exactly at where we start from.
Could you please read it agian?

replace LPCSTR with LPSTR.
you instantiate a DataList specialization on char* parameter, but you send incorrect parameter type to AddNode().
AddNode expect constant instance of type T (therefore, constant pointer to char, or char* const),
but you send a pointer to constant char (const char*).
although the syntax looks similar, semantics is quite different. please look it up in language reference.
hope this helps

of course, be aware that literal strings can't really be modified because they are placed in protected part of memory (executable image), so if you write
LPSTR str = "Hello";
str[1] = 'a';
you will get an access violation.

I think its because you are declaring:
DataList<char*> data;
And then using LPCSTR with it.
A char* is a pointer to a list of characters, terminated by NULL, while LPCSTR's declaration is:
typedef CONST CHAR *LPCSTR, *PCSTR;
I think changing DataList<char*> data; to DataList<LPCSTR> data; etc should solve the problem.
this is this.

Hi to all,

Yeah you can kill the these process, but for killing that process you should be havinf SYSTEM priviledge.. Only services running in your computer can run on this priviledge.

Thanks Alok, Even if U have those privileges(me not very sure abt this privileges) U cant kill SYSTEM processes since they are necessary n if U will kill it manually from TASK Manager Ur PC wud get rebooted.
But anyways, I got the solution, like GetLastError() returns me "E_ACCESSDENIED" error and thats OK wid my appln
thanks

When i killed that application ... My system get unstable, not rebooted and after some time as precaution measure Windows have restarted these process with new PID.
check this site.. i hope it still working http://www.securenm.com that application is using similiar concept

AFAIK, I myself created Service that can kill these process.... secondly at that time my system don't get rebooted but it get unstable.. and Windows Reexecute this process to make system stable....
Check out that software at http://www.securenm.com, i am not sure that site is still up

Calm Down MADAME, sorry if I sound rude.. have you ever heard about SERVICES...? if not let me explain them, they are normal exe but with speacial features, they don't need any user account to run it, i.e. it runs under SYSTEM ACCOUNT, ever before you login your PC (yeap)...
So I hope you got my point, I just want to provide you information, MADAME.. Just a community service....
