Here's another scoop.
This is the C++/MFC board, C questions do not belong here.
So it's irrelevant whether the VC++ compiler can compile C code.

ok, and tell me where you ask C question on CP elsewhere that this board ?

I'd say the soapbox

There is such a place: http//cboard.cprogramming.com --- Purely 'C'.

Why on earth would you need calloc, then?

It may be a legacy product that has been ported to the new compiler.

He would have told us that, right?
But then, if he would have been really interested in help, he would have given us enough information to help him!

Not necessarily.

You are making assumptions. Plenty of folks may genuinely want help but may not know how to properly ask for it. The same can be said for folks that may genuinely want to provide help but may not know how to properly do it.

then what the hell is a calloc() call doing on a C++ code ?
C++ deprecates the use of C memory management such as malloc, calloc, realloc and free.
instead, you have to use new and delete, and you MUSTN'T miw the two ways together !!!

It may be that you want to much memory so the working set memory is fully used. There is a compiler option to tweak it, but i dont know which.

Can you show code, that is failing ?

Yes, But interesting to see, why he is facing problem.
Strange that people expect help without giving sufficient information.

Sometimes I wonder why you are a CP MVP.
I work with a large amount of legacy C code that use malloc/calloc/realloc/free I cannot, will not change that because it works and has been working for the last few years.
The question is valid, albeit not well "asked", in this forum.

There could be any nuber of reason why calloc() would fail. At the point of failure, what values are being passed to it?

If it returns NULL, it is a failure, like an out-of-memory or out-of-address-space condition. If it returns a non-NULL value, but things crash when you try to use it (i.e. it is truly invalid), then I would offer that the heap information used by calloc(...) is messed up,or you are going too far with the pointer returned.
Although, since calloc(...) has to actually touch the memory to initialize it to zero, it should crash within the call to calloc(...) if the memory it allocated is really invalid.
So, what do you mean by "returns bad pointer"?

I'm trying to make a window class for my own context menus. (Like QPopup)
The problem is that this window should get focus without activation. (Parent window shouldn't lose activation)... May be anyone know how to do this?

I have created a VC++ application. I want to create a setup of the project (exe and supporting files). How to do with Package and deployment wizard or any other wizard.
Thanks in advance.

Hi
Can we all API used in VC++6.0 in VC++.Net. If we have open old project of VC++ 6.0 to VC++.Net then what changes are necessary to run that project sucessfully

Depends how good the programmer was. You may need no changes, you may need a lot. VC6 was a poor C++ implimentationm only coders who know the standard and coded to it would have no issues.
