okay, i did not knew that they were called default arguments.
(I thought default parameter was correct...)
But how can i handle structs???
I want to set an struct argument to NULL by default...
Hm...

C++ allows default arguments, see, for instance, [^].

Oh ha,...sry
Maybe my question was not clearly.
I know how to handle default arguments(int,bool,float,double...)...but i dont know how to handle it for Structs!

It makes difference?
For instance:
void foo(MyStruct mystruct=MyStruct());
doesn't fit your needs?

Very good point...
but,
i use structs which also contains structs and many other items, so it would look like this:
void func(
MyStruct mystruct=MyStruct(MyStruct2(),MyStruct3(),2,3,4,"anystring" )
);
Am i right?? I think so.
AND another problem is, that if i want to check it in the function, if it is a default, so i have to provide an additional variable:
void func(
MyStruct mystruct=MyStruct(MyStruct2(),MyStruct3(),2,3,4,"anystring",1 )
);
...
void func(
MyStruct mystruct=MyStruct(MyStruct2(),MyStruct3(),2,3,4,"anystring",1 )
)
{
if(mystruct.isDefault==1)
{...}
else
{...}
}
I hoped(and still hoping) there is an easier solution, but you are right, this would work.

Yes, you may also override the MyStruct's default constructor to take care about.

Provided you've overridden the default MyStruct's constructor the way I told, you may also use the following test (you've also to override the == operator, of course):
if ( mistruct == MyStruct() )

Yes, i know
By reading and writing answers, i am thinking more and more that this is a good solution and not a bad solution.
I was dreaming of an easy way like this:
void func(mystruct *ms=NULL);
But maybe this will stay a dream 
Thanks a lot for your time.

Well, you have also that option.

It should work the same way. What error are you getting that it doesn't?
|
|
|
|
|
Oh, okay,...
void func(myStruct *ms);
works fine.
But with:
void func(myStruct *ms=NULL);
i got the error C2143: Syntax error: missing ')' before '='
Maybe i am totaly wrong, but i think, i got the error because setting a default value for a struct can not be done so easy.

It has nothing to do with it being a struct. It has to do with the file having a .c extension.

i have to apologize to all here trying help me.
I was running for hours against a wall.
i tried the following:
void func(mystruct *ms=NULL);
and got an error, so thought this is not possible!!
But it is possible, with:
void func(mystruct *ms);
void func(mystruct *ms=NULL)
{
...
}
I am sry,...aeh this is embarrasing...

Hi,
How can I used DeviceIoControl with FSCTL_GET_VOLUME_BITMAP to get list of free cluster of file system.
Please give any link related to this.

Hello everyone,
I am developing a DLL and making another console application to link with the DLL. The DLL expose type CFoo, create an instance and the application consumes it. There is error like this. The source code of DLL and main are listed below, any ideas?
1>main.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "class CFoo foo" (?foo@@3VCFoo@@A)
foo.h (defines exposed type in the DLL)
class __declspec (dllexport) CFoo
{
public:
CFoo();
int foo1();
int foo2();
};
dllmain.cpp (defines type implementation inside dll)
#include "foo.h"
CFoo::CFoo()
{
return;
}
int CFoo::foo1()
{
return 100;
}
int CFoo::foo2()
{
return 200;
}
CFoo foo;
main.cpp (the console application which dynamically links with the DLL using import library)
#include "foo.h"
extern CFoo foo;
int main()
{
int i = foo.foo1();
i = foo.foo2();
return 0;
}
thanks in advance,
George

Replace the above by -
CFoo foo2;

I am confused, nbugalia! In my design, I want to create object instance in DLL and access the object instance from the hosting executable from extern reference. Your code change impacts my design...
Any comments?
regards,
George

Here is the Dll file code -
foo.h
class __declspec (dllexport) CFoo
{
public:
CFoo();
int foo1();
int foo2();
};
__declspec (dllexport) CFoo foo;re>
Foo.cpp
<pre>#include "Foo.h"
CFoo::CFoo()
{
return;
}
int CFoo::foo1()
{
return 100;
}
int CFoo::foo2()
{
return 200;
}
and here is the console based application code -
Foo.h
class __declspec (dllimport) CFoo
{
public:
CFoo();
int foo1();
int foo2();
};
__declspec (dllimport) CFoo foo;
test.cpp
#include "foo.h"
int main()
{
int i = foo.foo1();
i = foo.foo2();
return 0;
}
Don't forget to set the dependency to Foo.lib file in the test project settings.
Hope this will help.

Cool, nbugalia!
I want to confirm with you that we could expose, function/class/global variable from a DLL, correct?
regards,
George

George_George wrote: CFoo foo;
This is not enough, you have to export the foo variable, like
__declspec (dllexport) CFoo foo;
George_George wrote: extern CFoo foo;
Also in the exe, you have to import the variable
__declspec (dllimport) CFoo foo;

Thanks nave,
I have tested your solution works. My question is, if I create a global variable inside a DLL, then in the hosting executable, could I use extern to refer to the variable and use it?
regards,
George

No. you should export it to use the variable in the hosting executable..

Thanks nave,
So, from learning from you, it is legal to expose both function/global variable/class from a DLL?
(previously, I think only expose function is allowed.)
regards,
George

Yes its legal to expose both functions and variables.
