How are you binding to the DLL at runtime -
early (using a link library) or late (using LoadLibrary() at runtime)?

I am binding early (using an import library).

I'm trying to build an app which displays proprietary binary data on a virtual grid. Since the number of rows can be in the millions, I'm trying to implement a way to filter out the undesired data. I was asked to prompt users to select filtering by way of a tree control.
My tree is 4 levels deep. At the root level, I have 8 nodes (called Bus). Each bus has 32 children nodes (called RT #). Each RT node has 2 children nodes (called Transmit / Receive). Each Transmit and Receive node has 32 children nodes (called MSG #). So top-down, my tree is essentially 8 x 32 x 2 x 32 nodes.
I have been asked to also implement this tree in such a fashion that if the user only selects a particular parent node and does not select any child node beneath this parent node, that this is to mean a wild card for all descendant nodes beneath that selected parent node.
I am doing things in MFC and it seems I cannot do a bit array. I've tried using a 4 dimensional bool array but I am forced to store true / false values utilizing all 4 dimensions (which makes it impossible to store the wildcard condition mentioned above for anything less than 4 dimensions.)
What is the best way to encapsulate the user-defined filtering right before I am about to parse through a source file on-the-fly?

Why not bitfields?
struct filter
{
unsigned Bus : 3;
unsigned Route : 5;
unsigned Xmit : 1;
unsigned Rcv : 1;
unsigned Msg : 5;
unsigned dummy : 1;
};

Hi there,
I'm trying to make a C++ DLL with non-decorated method names that can be called from .NET. I've followed the format described in several articles, but it just won't compile:
class Vdr
{
public:
extern "C" __declspec (dllexport)
int add (int a, int b);
};
I get the compile error:
Error 1 error C2059: syntax error : 'string' c:\alan\4000\vdrdll\vdrdll\vdr.h 5
which is the line with extern "C". If I take out the extern "C", it compiles, but with decorated method names. Any ideas on what the problem is? Thanks!

Are you not wanting to export the entire Vdr class?

Yes, that would be fine. But the immediate problem is how to get the extern "C" attribute on a method. None of the various permutations seem to work.

Syntax errors aside, unless the class was also visible to the outside world, what good would that do? There's a reason that the compiler is not allowing it.

It works without any kind of export directive on the class. Maybe it's because the method is static.
|
|

Move the extern "C" outside of the class so that it encompasses the entire class.
extern "C"
{
class Vdr
{
public:
__declspec (dllexport)
int add (int a, int b);
};
}
Peace!

Thanks for the suggestion, but unfortunately it still appears to be generating decorated method names.
|
|
|
|

OK - but it does not make sense for the method names to be exported in C format, because (member) methods are specific to C++.
Perhaps you want to export simple functions (no references!) and have them in undecorated names?

That's what I decided to do; according to Nemanja (above) extern "C" cannot be applied to members of a class; just functions.
=================
BTW, in case anyone's interested, I just figured out how to pass objects from C# to C++:
BitmapInfo bi = new BitmapInfo ();
IntPtr ptr = (IntPtr) (&bi);
CppFunction (ptr);

Are you trying to use a native C++ class from .NET? Can't do that. Either make a COM wrapper, a C++/CLI one, or export the functionality from the DLL with plain C functions.
The specifier extern "C" can be used only on non-member functions, and besides the exported functions will still be decorated, although in a different way.
|

|

Ah, so what I was trying is impossible. Thanks.
Apparently static methods can be used from .NET, although they're decorated. I think I'll take your suggestion and use C functions.

i want to read a file and input each record by record into shared memory .

Nice intention, get to work!

Your question relates to what ? using fgets or using shared memory ?

yes,i want to put the data to shared memory and by using another process need to read them

I am trying to enumarate an USB device. This is a regular flash drive. I am using this piece of code
int main(void)
{
GUID USBIODS_GUID;
USBIODS_GUID.Data1 = 0x4D36E967;
USBIODS_GUID.Data2 = 0xE325;
USBIODS_GUID.Data3 = 0x11CE;
USBIODS_GUID.Data4[0] = 0xBF;
USBIODS_GUID.Data4[1] = 0xC1;
USBIODS_GUID.Data4[2] = 0x08;
USBIODS_GUID.Data4[3] = 0x0;
USBIODS_GUID.Data4[4] = 0x2B;
USBIODS_GUID.Data4[5] = 0xE1;
USBIODS_GUID.Data4[6] = 0x03;
USBIODS_GUID.Data4[7] = 0x18;
HDEVINFO hInfo = SetupDiGetClassDevs(&USBIODS_GUID, NULL, NULL, DIGCF_PRESENT | DIGCF_INTERFACEDEVICE);
for (DWORD i=0; ; ++i)
{
SP_INTERFACE_DEVICE_DATA Interface_Info;
Interface_Info.cbSize = sizeof(Interface_Info);
Enumerate device
if (!SetupDiEnumDeviceInterfaces(hInfo, NULL, (LPGUID) &USBIODS_GUID,i, &Interface_Info))
{
int err = GetLastError();
SetupDiDestroyDeviceInfoList(hInfo);
return(i);
}
}
}
I obtained the UID for this device from the registry.
The SetupDiEnumDeviceInterfaces returns ERROR_NO_MORE_ITEMS
Where have I gone wrong?
Also what is the difference between functions SetupDiEnumDeviceInterfaces () and SetupDiEnumInterfaceDevice()

By possibly not reading the documentation:
MemberIndex - Specifies a zero-based index into the list of interfaces in the device information set. The caller should call this function first with MemberIndex set to zero to obtain the first interface. Then, repeatedly increment MemberIndex and retrieve an interface until this function fails and GetLastError returns ERROR_NO_MORE_ITEMS.
