I have this one line in my C++ code that I'm using, but it says I need a initializer before the word "main". I took C++ a couple of years ago, so I naturally forgot what an initializer is, but I'm pretty sure that it's not int. Can anybody help?
Code:
int __cdecl main(int argc, const char* argv[])
{

Y u've mentioned __cdecl? Its implicit and return some value.

May be true  , AFAIK initializers are for data types not for function, which gives initial values to variables.

iam not sure couple of years ago it was so.
return of main is same as calling exit function in main, it is used to return the success code of the application and it is int. u can avoid returning any value if the type of main is void. As a side note C++ doesnot assume default int for function return type (may be this is ur "pretty sure").
u can check whether main is using int by giving return type like double (where sizeof(return type) > sizeof (int) or user type)

In this line of C++ code, i think no issues. can u state what is the exact error statement.
waiwai933 wrote: Can anybody help?
I suspect some code above or below this function causing the error
say
struct MyStruct
{
}
int __cdecl main(int argc, const char* argv[])
{
in this case compiler says error in return type as it takes MyStruct as return type.

Unless you are passing arguments to main() and are returning a value to the command interpreter, you could simplify things by using:
void main( void )
{
...
}

I seem to have stumbled upon a bit of a problem. My program is using several DLL's that I wrote (6 in total). When I use the URLOpenStream() call I get a weird error deep in one of the threads spawned by URLOpenStream. It seems to happen when xpsp2res.dll is loaded. What ends up happening is that the URL starts to load, then fails some point after xpsp2res.dll is loaded.
Googleing turned up some links indicating that this was a rebase problem, something I'd never heard of, or (as far as I know) run into before. The same codes works perfectly on a different machine (both machines are Windows XP SP2). The supposed solution is to explicitly specify a base address for my DLL's. Is this actually correct? Is there some other solution?

Rebasing is only an optimisation and need not be done explicitly. It just saves the system from having to go to the trouble if two DLLS occupy the same space.

I am starting a new side-project: I would like to scan file access in real-time and deny access if the windows file system wants to access a folder that I have deemed inappropriate.
Use Case:
whenever the Windows file system (i.e. as directed by my wife) accesses a file, I want to check the path against a list of blocked paths. If the path matches an item in the black-list then I'd like my app to deny access. To enable/disable this security I'll set an environment variable.
The problem is that I have no idea how to implement something like this; I've never experimented with real-time file access. I imagine it's pretty low-level.
Does anyone have any pointers to help me learn about real-time file access ? Is it even possible ?

Right click on the file and select "Properties". In the Properties Dialog select the "Security" tab and set the User/Permissions however you want.

right, but we don't use log-in accounts on the PCs at home; our WinXP PCs default to an Administrator account when booting up to Windows.

So I guess you want me to reply with the obvious: "Then set them up and start using them". Well I'm not going to.

I've written a status bar control which works well, except for the height. I'd like a way to determine the right height for the control, taking into account XP themes's if they are present. I know there is GetThemePartSize() and the SP_PANE, but that doesn't seem to return a useful height (it's significantly smaller than what is actually used). Anyone know how to do this?

Nope, missed that one - I'll look into that.

Windows does it based on the size of the font.

Yeah, that doesn't surprise me. But how *exactly* are they doing it? Are they just DLU units? As in saying that the status bar is 12 DLU's high based on whatever the current font you've chosen to use with the status bar? Or is there some other magic behind determining the number?

Hmm, Cobra, that's XML based right?

I'm using VS 2008 C++ and when I write a file out using CStdioFile or CFile under file type I get "SQL Server Compact Edition Database File" does anyone if this is alright?
I expected to only see ".sdf" under type. Right clicking on the file and selecting properties the filename alog with the ".sdf" extension is there along with "SQL Server Compact Edition Database File". What's happening?

I've come across some code that is structured like this:
do {
//stuff...
} while(FALSE);
What's the difference between that and just doing the items that are in stuff WITHOUT the do-while(FALSE) "loop"?

The difference is that the above code is entitled to stand on the top position of the Coding Horrors forum.

Coding Orros refers to members of a family tree: http://www.genealogytoday.com/surname/finder.mv?Surname=Orros[^] who are better at making pizza than coding. http://www.yellowbot.com/orros-pizza-grill-saint-johns-fl.html[^] although obvious to us, it was not obvious to them. After seeing the pizza examples in head-first-design-patterns, you begin to realize how they thought that any pizza maker is automatically a programmer. As you see, the results of pizza makers writing software is extra cheese in our code.
