Are you sure, how did you measure this?

Using the "Processes" tab in the Task Manager...
|
|
|
|
|
If I am not wrong the "Mem Usage" column of the task manager includes shared memory from loaded DLLs.
|
|
|
|
|
My goal is to make the Mem Usage column display 320k or less...

Even though that is not the memory that the application will consume?
Who is repsonsible for those requirements, would he consider using a root kit that hides the presence of the process from the task manager? Just kidding... you are misinterpreting the data returned from the task manager. What you see there is something like the size of the virtual address space in use which includes system DLLs... but no empty WinMain() application will use up 320K free system memory, how could an empty program waste multiple KB? See How big is my program[^].
Hope it helps

Hehe... That was funny...
There's an existing app which consumes about 300k.
It's basically the same as the one I'm supposed to write, but it lacks some basic must-have features/abilities, and needs some improvements...
The goal is to keep this kind of memory usage, but improve the app, in order not to "pay a large price" for the improvements...

Shy Agam, I modified my last answer with a link to an article here on CP. Please have a look.

I read the article... Thanks...

Moak could be right, task manager may show not only the program size but linked DLLs etc..
You make sure, the memory size means runtime memory shown by task manager or just the exe file size.
Whats the exe file size?

btw, my vc 2005 trial version has been expired, so I could not try, just telling ideas

It doesn't matter... I was put on certain constraints... I have to enforce them...
Maybe I can remove dependencies from my app...(?)
According to previous posts, it should affact the MemUsage column...

Hi,
All the best to solve the problem!!
Please let me know when you find solution

That's all well and good, but you must use the right tool to measure with. Task Manager is not that tool.

Thanks, GetCurrentTime() works but the function does not show up in the member list.

Hi,
I writting a C++/DLL interface to a C/DLL
I export this function in the C++ DLL and import it in the C DLL
The problem, I am passing The C++ DLL function 3 paramters
The First thing I do in this function is Build a C++ object
via new function/method (hope I using the the right
terminalogy)
What happens my second parm in the fuction gets overlaid
With the size of the object as that is (I guess the first parm to
the the new method/function)
How do I know this?? I step thru this in disassembly mode
example of what I am taking about
objptr is declared in Global storage above DLLMAIN
if that make a difference
__declspec(export) cplusplus(char *a, int b, int c)
{
objptr = new OBJECT(a,b,c);

As far as I could understand you have problems with argument values of your exported/imported function...
Anyway, I see a problem here; you should declare your function as extern "C" when both exporting and importing it (to overcome differences between C and C++ when calling the same function in both)
Your example should be:
extern "C" __declspec(export) cplusplus(char *a, int b, int c)
{

in my declaration of the fuction I am
However in the actual code do I need to preface the function with extern "C" too ???
Thankx

Yes (I think you mean the definition by saying 'actual code'). Something like so;
// mydll.h
extern "C" __declspec(dllexport) int myFunc();
// mydll.cpp
extern "C" __declspec(dllexport) int myFunc()
{
// the body
}
// Inside the client..
extern "C" __declspec(dllimport) int myFunc();

I think that (extern "C") and the fact that I was using LOCAL variables between calls to the exported functions might have been the problem (as it now works). Let me explains what I mean by the former
What I had was the follwing
#define MYEXPORT extern "C"
MYEXPORT int a(int c) <--- call DLL export func a
{
int b
.
.
.
return b
}
MYEXPORT int d(int b) <--- Call DLL export function d
{
.
.
.
.
return
Since since "b" was a local variable in a {defined on the stack after the input and output variables
it is storage are is not perserved between Calls
What I did was declare b as "static" I think then b's storage area gets declared in a different area as a Global variable maybe off the the Data Segment register
Anyway this seemed to make it work
Let me know if any of whay I am saying makes sense
Thankx

Hi All,
I have generated a tlb file through idl for the implementation of COM.
I want to use this COM object in my VC++ code.
Anybody know how to reference tlb file in VC++ code.
For VB I can directly reference the tlb file, but I dont dont know is there any way we can reference tlb file in my VC++ code and start using the methods inside COM object
Thanks in Advance
JK
