Thanks followait,

Could you let me know more details why VirtualAlloc is more efficient please?

Thanks toxcct,

What is the differences between HeapAlloc and VirtualAlloc? They allocate memory from different spaces?

man i'm starting to be seriously tired of your laziness.

not only you don't start to search the web before asking a forum, but you gettin me on my nerves because every thing you don't understand when someone answer you (because of your lack of knowledge), you rate it badly Mad | :mad:

I tell you, i give you this question a '1', because you HAD TO google for "HeapAlloc vs VirtualAlloc" first.

we're not here to do everything for you. you have to make the first step, and only when you're stuck on something, then you tell all the stuff you tried. not before Suspicious | :suss:

BTW, you never answered me how old you were since last time

No, it's not (in general)! VirtualAlloc can only allocate memory in 4k chunks; if you use VirtualAlloc as a malloc replacement allocating one byte would result in wasting 4095! Part of what the code behind malloc does is carve up the memory blocks returned via VirtualAlloc to avoid this wastage. malloc also has a number of other optimisation such as a small block heap.

Creating Worker Thread that exploit Dialog 's Controls

Hello Everybody.
I implemented worker thread in VC++.net2003 (MFC) as follows.

Prototype of AfxBeginThread Function

<br />
CWinThread* AfxBeginThread( AFX_THREADPROC pfnThreadProc,<br />
LPVOID pParam, int nPriority = THREAD_PRIORITY_NORMAL,<br />
UINT nStackSize = 0, DWORD dwCreateFlags = 0,<br />
LPSECURITY_ATTRIBUTES lpSecurityAttrs = NULL );

Body of Function

UINT MyThreadProc(LPVOID pParam)<br />
{<br />
if(pParam == NULL)<br />
AfxEndThread(MY_NULL_POINTER_ERROR);<br />
char *pStr = (char *) pParam;<br />
while(*pStr)<br />
*pStr++ ^= 0xA5;<br />
<br />
return 0;<br />
}

I used the Above Given code it works Fine. But what if I want to use any control of my dialog in the function.
It simply refuse to work as the following function is not member of the dialog class, hence it can not exploit any control of the dialog.

If I write this function as a member of my dialog class as follows.

UINT Myclass :: MyThreadProc(LPVOID pParam)

then the error occurs,
None of the 2 overloads can convert parameter1 to UINT(LPVOID).

Plz help me to write a function with the help of which i can use control(edit control/static control) of my dialog.
I simply want to display a counter's value in the edit control on the dialog.
and counter is being incremented in a loop in the function, that is to be used with AfxBeginThread.

benefits of private or protected constructor

Hello everyone,

I am thinking about the benefits of a private or protected constructor. The only benefits I could think of is we could use singleton design pattern and make a public function (e.g. CreateInstance) as a single point to create instances and hide the constructor to outside.

Any more comments?

thanks in advance,
George

private are just for the class it uses it, protected can be used by derived classes as well.

Hi,

you sould firstly (for next times) check the forum with the search option, it is probably that your question will already be answered (this one it is, I answered it a few days ago).

Nevermind, is a short thing.

Go to your CMyApp::InitInstance (), at the end of the code you should add the red code

if (!ProcessShellCommand(cmdInfo))
return FALSE;

pMainFrame->ShowWindow(m_nCmdShow | SW_SHOWMAXIMIZED);
pMainFrame->UpdateWindow();

Hope it helps

You deserve an A for honesty!
