- #pragma once is the microsoft way of telling the compiler that the file is included once in a compilation unit.
it is the same as
#ifndef __MYMACRO__
#define __MYMACRO__
#endif
for the debug macros, they allow to trace the stack, knowing the file reached...

#pragma once maintains a "include file table" for include files during compilation . But their work is same.

yes, but the result remains the same.
moreover, #pragma is microsoft specific, which means that it won't work for another compiler (gcc for example)...

I can only second toxcct on that, #pragma once is not standard. There may be other compilers/preprocessors that also make use of it, so it is maybe not MS specific anymore, but it is definitely not standard.

I think most compilers today (including gcc) support #pragma once, but it is not mandated by the Standard.

Almost - #pragma once prevents the entire file from being brought in by the preprocessor again. The #ifndef/#define/#endif or #if !defined/#define/#endif constructs exclude a specific range (whatever is enclosed in the #ifndef block) from being brought in again. Anything before or after the block would be brought in again.
However, the common/general use of the latter makes it pretty much the same functionality as #pragma once, but it is incorrect to assume that they both do the exact same thing.
For example, place something like DWORD Some_Value outside of the #ifndef block of a header file and #include the file twice in a CPP file somewhere and compile that CPP file. You will get an error about a redefinition. Now, add #pragma once to the header file and
try to compile the CPP file again; the error will go away.
Lastly, #pragma constructs are compiler-dependent - but that does not mean that different compilers will not use the same #pragmas for the same thing (or even different things).
Peace!

I think it is to use the special Debug version of new when you use new. This special version allocates more memory than asked for, to make room for memory leak info etc. So that when you do not de-allocate anything you got with new, you get a message in the output window about the leak.
About the THIS_FILE, I have no idea, never needed to know, too lazy to search.
As for #pragma once, it is to include the current file only once during compilation.
this is this.

you usually find this statement in the header files ,this statement instruct the compiler to include the header file only once
big_denny_200 wrote: #ifdef _DEBUG#define new DEBUG_NEW#undef THIS_FILEstatic char THIS_FILE[] = __FILE__;#endif
this mean, if you compiling the application is debug mode define operator new as DEBUG_NEW which make debugging easy!
and for ___FILE___ macro please click this link :-

#ifdef _DEBUG
Checks if this a DEBUG build, if it is tell the compiler to handle everything until it encounters an #endif, if it's not a debug build it just skips this section of the source file.
#define new DEBUG_NEW
DEBUG_NEW is a special version of new which stores extra information about the memory being allocated (file name and source line the allocation was made), all we're doing here is overriding the standard version of new.
#undef THIS_FILE<br />
static char THIS_FILE[] = __FILE__;
THIS_FILE stores a copy the current source file being executed, useful for debug messages etc, eg.
char buffer[ 255 ];
sprinf( buffer, "An error occured in source file %s", THIS_FILE );
printf( buffer );
#pragma once just tells the compiler to parse a header file once per source file, else you could end up with hundreds of error messages where stuffs getting defined twice.

If i dynamically create a CString object then will this object deallocate by itself after going out of scope or should we use teh "delete" operator to deallocate it?
|
|
|

|

I believe calling delete will be necessary to free the memory it occupied.
this is this.

What ever you allocate ... Deallocate otherwise face leak

Just yesterday I saw some code that was doing 'delete this'. Generally, I think we should stick away from doing this, but in the code that I was reading it fits in very well in the flow. So I think it is okay to use 'delete this' if you define the class and you yourselves use it, but it would be bad to use it in a library that will be used by someone else.
thanks!

One place where I did this was about 6-8 years ago when doing custom "in-place" modification controls for a very customized ListView control. The control supported editable submitems using various controls (edit, combobox, color picker, other custom controls).
The controls were dynamically created with the coordinates and information of the subitem being modified and they would create the specific GUI control and take control of the edit operation. When done, they would send information on the edit to the ListView control and would then delete themselves via delete this. But it was my class and I knew exactly what it was doing.
It just made it simplier than maintaining the lifetime of the object in the ListView control. (Not saying it was right or wrong.)

Can anybody help me rgd how to proceed in this project which is like VNC, destop controlling.

Hello Girish !
I did the project in VB which was monitoring the remote machine(along with capturin the remote desktop, loggin off user and shuting down the remote machin). In orger to get the remote desktop you need to capture the desktop, save it into a file as an image and send that file over network and display it on a form(as i did in vb). The form should not have titlebar, or any of the border property. make the form size as of your screen resolution. so that it appears as if you'r lookin your own desktop. The user even will not come to know which desktop is open...

this is very cumbersome task... and it will choked the whole netwrok if you start monitoring three and above computers.... better look for other alternative..

The cycle i made should work for three times,
for the first time in the debug the "i" counter increses from zero to 1, as i see on the second time "i" counter doesn't increases!!! But it have to!
I can't understand...
Here is the code:
for(int i =0;i<ColumnsNumber;i++)<br />
{<br />
DBFColumn column;<br />
dbffile.read(column.FieldName,10);<br />
dbffile.read((char*)&column.caPad,sizeof(char));<br />
dbffile.read((char*)&column.cFieldType,sizeof(char));<br />
dbffile.read((char*)&column.lwhere,sizeof(int));<br />
dbffile.read((char*)&column.cFieldLength,sizeof(char));<br />
dbffile.read((char*)&column.cFieldPrecision,sizeof(char));<br />
dbffile.read((char*)&column.caPad3,14);<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
SQLQuery+=(string)column.FieldName+"_dbf";<br />
switch(column.cFieldType)<br />
{<br />
case 'F':<br />
SQLQuery+=" float,";<br />
break;<br />
case 'N':<br />
{ <br />
if(column.cFieldLength==31||column.cFieldLength==12)<br />
SQLQuery+=" float,"; <br />
else<br />
if(column.cFieldLength==6)<br />
SQLQuery+=" smallint,";<br />
else<br />
SQLQuery+=" int,";<br />
break;<br />
}<br />
case 'L':<br />
{<br />
SQLQuery+=" bit,";<br />
break;<br />
}<br />
case 'D':<br />
{<br />
SQLQuery+=" datetime,";<br />
break;<br />
}<br />
case 'C':<br />
{<br />
char number[32];<br />
SQLQuery+=string(" VARCHAR (")+_itoa(column.cFieldLength+1,number,10)+"),";<br />
break;<br />
}<br />
};<br />
Columns.push_back(column);<br />
}
