You really need a good tutorial (or, better, a good book) on C programming.

Hi Friends,
I have a task to write a new API such that it should commonly work for both Win XP and Linux operating systems. For example, if I am writting an API as:
MyCreateThread(...) executing it on either XP or Linux it should work.
Can anybody suggest how to wrap in such above said manner. Any relevant content ??? From where I can get?
Kindly help.
Thanks in advance

What do you want to make portable exactly ? A GUI, threading system, ... ?
Anyway, I suggest you take a look at wxWidgets[^], it is a cross-platform GUI library which has also support for threading on so on. Take a look at the features to see if it does what you are looking for.
No need to reinvent the wheel.

Dear Friend,
its not only about the GUIs but I need the simulation or mapping of APIs of all the services APIs supported by Win XP OS / Linux OS
Thanks in advance ... if you could help me..

Ok, boys, I think it's time to give an answer to an ancestral annoying question.
How do we (we = programmers, professional or amateur) call the parts which a FQP (fully qualified path)
is made of?
I mean, if we have a DOS-like path:
c:\dir1\dir2\file.ext
what are the meaningful strings we have to name?
fileName = "file.ext" ? or
fileName = "file"
fileExtension = "ext" ? And if so, how should we call "file.ext"?
Which name is "c:\dir1\dir2" usually addressed with?
In partial paths, should I use the ending slash ("c:\dir1\") or not (c:\dir1) ?
Where can I find standard naming conventions?
And what is the best way of handling file names? Windows API, or a more convenient code
has been written, maybe here in codeproject?
Thank ya guys...

No...
I'm looking for answers, cause I don't have any...
Anyway, we could start a more involved discussion if there is need to shed light on this subject.
What I wonder is if there is a common convention shared by almost every programmer;
win API functions, like GetLongPathName or GetShortPathName and so on
seem to be very specific, but who really knows?
For instance, MS calls "c:\dir1\dir2\" a PathName, and "\\pcName\dir1\" as well.
But I saw someone else calling it rootPath, using the "Name" word to distinguish
between [Name of a file without extension] = FileName and [extension of a file] = FileExtension ;
in this case the [Name of a afile with extension] was called FullFileName (or FileFullName).
That's a mess!!
There must be some "sacred rules" we have to keep to.
Otherwise, we'll write them...

The question raised here due to the following scenario
1) I have filer where data is stored
2) I Copy data from this filer share to my local machine
3) When I try to copy a file, Filer goes for Antivirus scanning for it
Note: This scanning time varies depends upon file size and complexity
4) Mean time My copy operation waits and evently timeouts in some cases
Now I want to know this timeout value.

Ok, is it failing when copied via Windows itself (e.g., Explorer), or from within your code?

Failing form windows side only.

Well, if Windows is not accounting for such a failure, I'm not sure what you can do about it.

The function readch() reads a character. But what do I use to "read a character, but do not wait for him to type a character?" How can the program find if there is a character waiting in the standard-input buffer?

Hello everyone,
Suppose I have a component (class) CX implements IUnknown interface, and I have retrieved a pointer of CX by IUnknown pointer (IUnknown*), that is.
IUnknown* pCX;
QueryInterface (IID_IUnknown, &pCX);
delete pCX;
Even if I declare the component CX's destructor as virtual, if I delete through IUnknown pointer to "release" the object, there is still potential memory and resource leak, because in IUnknown interface, destructor is the compiler provided default one, which is non-virtual and public, right?
thanks in advance,
George

NEVER do that. COM has its own mechanism to perform cleanup, you must not break the toy.
