Look more closely

void main()<br />
{<br />
int n=0,k,m,j;<br />
//n is Zero so you declare an array of zero size !<br />
int*p=new int[n];<br />
// To late you update the value of n<br />
cin>>n;<br />
k=n;<br />
j=n;<br />
m=n;<br />
for(;n>0;n--)<br />

int x=1;<br />
while(x)<br />
{<br />
x=0;<br />
for(;k>0;k--)<br />
{<br />
// This syntax is just wrong try to understand rather than just getting it to compile<br />
if(p[k-1] {<br />
swap(p[k-1],p[k]);<br />
x=1;<br />
<br />
}<br />
<br />
}<br />
}<br />
// What if only one element is enter opps were off the end of the array<br />
if(m%2==1){cout<<p[j/2+1];}<br />
else cout<<p[j/2]<<p[j/2+1];<br />

<br />
}<br />
void swap(int &a,int &b)<br />

get this,it is also wrong.please have

I have problem with Casting ...

i've create class named Instrument { ... }

and in Dialog based MFC application
i have TreeView Control and in that at some point i am settin ItemData as "Instument" classs' Object

treeCtrl->SetItemData(instObject)//Instrument* to DWORD_PTR casting is done here Wink | ;)

now at some point i need this data(object) back
so to take data

Instrument *instObject = treeCtrl->GetItemData(hItem); // error: Sniff | :^)

Please help me to cast DWORD_PTR back to Instrument Type ... Frown | :(

To reverse the effect of the first cast, cast the value back to the original type:

Instrument *instObject = (Instrument*) treeCtrl->GetItemData(hItem);

Then you've obviously done something else wrong, as Michael's suggestion is correct. How are you verifying that it does not work?

I'm guessing you are getting cannot convert DWORD_PTR to Instrument *.

Oh and allways try and use eplicit casting i.e. static_cast rather than C-Style casts.

Try this

Instrument *instObject = static_cast<Instrument *>((static_cast<void *>(treeCtrl->GetItemData(hItem))));

or if not

Instrument *instObject = dynamic_cast<Instrument *>((dynamic_cast<void *>(treeCtrl->GetItemData(hItem))));

Could you copy the exact compiler error into the thread.

reinterpret_cast is the right one for this situation, since you're converting between a pointer and a non-pointer type.

Windows XP Memory allocation questions

Hi,
in the process of running my program is allocating a lot of memory (gigabytes). After it reaches a certain size strange things start to happen so I'm trying to debug it. I have some questions.

1. To my surprise new operator does not return NULL on error. It seems to throw an exception. When did this happen? What's the exception object? I'm using VS 8.

2. Is new a thread safe operator? What if I'm using some libraries that most likely use malloc. Is memory allocation still thread safe? I'm using dynamic link run time for my program and hopefully all the libraries. If some library is using a different run-time but I don't free its memory is that fine?

3. What is the memory allocation limit for a process in Windows XP? Is it 2 GB? Or RAM + swap space?

4. Any free GUI profilers out there?

Thanks for your help.

I thought it was a lot longer ago, but according to the docs:

"In Visual C++ .NET 2002, the new function in the Standard C++ Library will support
the behavior specified in the C++ standard, which is to throw a std::bad_alloc exception
if the memory allocation fails.

In Visual C++ 2005, the C Runtime Library's new function will also throw a std::bad_alloc
exception if the memory allocation fails.

If you still want the non-throwing version of new for the C Runtime Library, link your program
with nothrownew.obj. However, when you link with nothrownew.obj, new in the Standard C++
Library will no longer function."

In the Multithread CRT, Yes. Any third-party library, well...

Sounds to me like you have some serious memory leakage. Make sure you call delete on every time you allocate using new.

Try this[^] utility, it's excellent for finding leaks.

As for your questions:
1. use try catch blocks.
2. yes.
3. Usually RAM, but not too sure...

That's the way it is supposed to work - it throws bad_alloc. If you want to get a NULL instead, use nothrow[^]

Yes. Yes. Yes.

In practice, less then 2GB[^] (BTW, who would vote down that text and why Confused | :confused:

Hello, I wanted to know if there's a way to embed databases into an executable file. How do you do it (I'd really appreciate it if you explain the way for both Sql Server and MySql, if they're different ways)? Is it recommended?
Thanks.

What I mean is to have a resulting exe that does not depend on the server (MySql or SQL Server) being installed in the user's computer, but still makes use of those databases.

is it possible to get the console cursor position?
To set it, it works with SetConsoleCursorPosition(...)

Any ideas?
