Re: increasing the buffer allocatied for the application

What buffer are you referring to? Stack space, perhaps?

Yes.I thing so. I was told that for every application running, a defult memory is allocated by the os. Is it like that?

The default stack size for a VS6 application is 1MB. I'm not sure if that has been changed in VS200x.

Thanks everybody, but I solved it by doing ... nothing. After a while staring at the code, I hit ... Rebuild, and it worked like a charm. Ahhh VC++6 and templates Roll eyes | :rolleyes:

Sorry for the hassle, thanks again for your answers.

-> Orignial post:

Here is my code:

// creation
	for(int i=0;i<3;i++)
	{
		BYTE *pbMessage= new BYTE[12];
		st.push(pbMessage);
	}

//deletion
	BYTE *pbTest;
	while(st.getSize()>0)
	{
		pbTest=st.pop();
		printf("%s\n",pbTest);
		delete[] pbTest;   /// <- Here an exception, shouldn't this work ?
	}

st is a sort of stack (which works). The push function saves the pointer, the pop function returns the pointer. How can I make the compiler understand that the pbTest points on 12 elements ?

BYTE pbTest[12];
pbTest=st.pop(); // does not work -> st.pop returns a BYTE*, pbTest is a BYTE[12]

Note that delete pbTest does not work either in the first example.

Thanks,

pbTest is allocated as a BYTE *pbTest (not an array) so why would you free it using delete[] pbTest

Because it points to an array?

isn't delete[] useful only when the memory is allocated with new[] and simple delete useful when simple new used ?

Yes, and that's what he has here:

BYTE *pbMessage= new BYTE[12];

Is it throwing exception right from the first element in the loop while deleting? Are you sure pop is working correctly?

How is your "sort of stack" declared? Template argument, if any, and push/pop functions...
I wonder since the stack::pop() function of the usual STL stack is declared as void pop(), so you must be using something else. The equivalent function in the STL stack would be <YourType>& top().

If your pop() works like you think it should work, I can't see why you would get the exception...
But perhaps it's still too early in the morning for me... Sleepy | :zzz:

Hello again,
If that's one of my stacks you're adapting the chances are it takes the address of what you pass to it, so it would actually be storing a BYTE** in this case, requiring you to dereference the result of pop back to a BYTE* with something like BYTE* pData = *pPopResult. You definitely need to check this if you adapted one of my data structures. I tend to make containers store the addresses of contained items to avoid copying.
Remember BYTE[15] and BYTE* are the same type so delete [] pbTest is correct if pbTest is BYTE*. If it's BYTE** then it will be trying to delete an array of 4 byte BYTE* pointers hence the exception.
If the stack comes from elsewhere then feel free to ignore all this rambling. Smile | :)

Nothing is exactly what it seems but everything with seems can be unpicked.

Thanks, but I only took a few ideas from your article, and the implementation is indeed different here.

now that i am displaying the designators in a combo box. i used recursive function to display that in the combo box. the next thing that i need to do is when i click on the designator the files and folders in that designator should display in a list box. what needs to be done for that?

Well it seems that this question is in the continue other question but do you want to show content a file on the listbox or other thing?

yes it is. i need to shw the content of the directory in a list box. that is when i click on C: the folders and files of that c: should appear on the listbox. same goes to other directories also

For show files and folders on the listbox you can use of DlgDirList function also you can use of FindFirstFile/FindNextFile.

And the posters share the same name. Amazing! Maybe that's why he started off by stating, "now that i am displaying the designators in a combo box."
