This is just supposition, but did you do this in debug mode? I see that it's trying to call malloc and free with debug mode... try in release. see what happens. but i've definitely never seen this happen before

In your compiler settings look for the C/C++ Code generation section and change the Runtime library to Multi-Threaded-Debug /MTd

It appears I already have my my Runtime library to Multi-Threaded-Debug (/MTd)

Here is the complete command line, cut and pasted from my projects properties:
/Od /AI "D:\Source Code\Cardacc v5.0.xx Customs\OracleTest\OraclePingC++\Debug" /D "WIN32" /D "_DEBUG" /D "_WINDLL" /D "_MBCS" /FD /EHsc /MTd /GS /Yu"stdafx.h" /Fp"Debug/OraclePingC++.pch" /Fo"Debug/" /Fd"Debug/vc70.pdb" /W3 /nologo /c /Zi /clr /TP /FU "c:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322\mscorlib.dll" /FU "c:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322\System.dll" /FU "c:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322\System.Data.dll"

When I try to build the dll in Release mode, I receive a ton of LNK2001 and 2019 errors.

Is your project suppose to be using Managed C++ because you have the /clr flag set.

Sometime the order that you #include header files will cause stuff like this to happen because one header expects another to be included first. Try changing the order of your #includes.

Using the CRegistry class

I used the class to obtain values that an installer package saved to the registry. I can see the values in Regedit. but when the CRegistry class (readline()) never reads them!
I really need a solution to this: here's my code:
// App command to run the dialog
void CShopApp::FindRegData()
{
CRegistry Reg();
CRegData m_cRegData;// class of 5 CStrings
m_cRegData.CleanUp();
//CRegistry Reg;
CString csSubRoot = "SOFTWARE\\Mills Software Solutions Inc\\Shop";
m_cRegData.m_csRootMainKey = "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE";
m_cRegData.m_csSubKey = csSubRoot;
Reg.SetRootKey(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE);
if (Reg.SetKey(csSubRoot, FALSE))// jumps out here
{
m_cRegData.m_csCompany = Reg.ReadString("Company", "");// all CStrings in class m_cRegData are
"bad pointer" errors
m_cRegData.m_csUser = Reg.ReadString("Name", "");
m_cRegData.m_csSerialCode = Reg.ReadString("Serial", "");
m_cRegData.m_csRegCode = Reg.ReadString("RegCode", "");
//Reg
}
else
{
TRACE("Failed to open key\n");
}

m_csSaveData = InsertDelimiterReg(m_cRegData);// all CStrings Bad pointer
FileSaveRegData();
}
Can someone please explain why this is happening? I used REGEDIT and found that the key and values are there! I just can't get CRegistry to retrieve them.
Help!

Old Thread, but I had the same problem with CRegistry class in Windows 7. But my compiled Program didn`t have the problem, so I just activated the "Run as Administrator" option for my Visual Studio, and CRegistry could read the Registry Keys...

My object is to find the size of the text file without traversing the characters. I wrote the following code:

#include<stdio.h>
#include<string.h>
#include<stdlib.h>
main()
{
int lno=1,n=0,x=2;
long position=0;
char ch[1000],s[1000];
FILE*fp;
fp=fopen("imp.txt","r");

if (fp==NULL)
{puts("Cannot open file");
exit(1);}
printf("01 ");

while(1)
{
ch[n]=fgetc(fp);
n=n+1;

if (ch[n-1]==EOF)
break;
if (ch[n-1]=='\n')
{printf("\n0%d ",x);
x=x+1;}
else if (ch[n-1]!='\r')
{
printf("%c",ch[n-1]);}
else if (ch[n-1]=='\r')
{continue;}
}
fseek(fp,0,SEEK_END);
position=ftell(fp);
printf("\n\n Size of the text file is %ld bytes\n ",position);
fclose(fp);
}

FILE DATA:
Hello
Roger here
Keep it up
Please reply

The size given by this code is 43 bytes while what i am getting on my windows is 638 bytes. Is this right? If yes then Why?

That is all that is needed to get the size of the file.

Or you can use the CreateFile[^] and GetFileSize[^] APIs.

hide the console window while using system(...)

hai all,
in one of my applications, i have to automate a dos level command.
so i construct the command into an str and execute it using system(str).
but in this case, the console window is getting flashed while the command is being executed.
could any one suggest any other alternative to avoid the display of console.
thanks in advance.

Is it a Windowed application or a console application? Which dos level command are you executing?

my application is windowed.
actually, there are some Third party command mode tools which should be used in a sequence to perform some operations on wav files and text ifles.
so i wanted to automate them using a single button click.
and each of those tools print some output also, and i have to process and display that output also.
as of now, iam achieving that by redirecting the output to a text file and reading it back.
i would be pleased if you can suggest any easier method also.
bu my immediate problem is to hide or suppress the console window.
if my questin is not clear please let me know. i will try to explain it better.
thank you.

So, you are not working with any DOS commands.

Like the other poster suggested, you can use CreateProcess to hide the window that the new process will spawn. There are ways to capture and process output from a console window:

Creating a child process with Redirected input and output[^]

Redirecting an arbitrary Console's Input/Output[^]

Writing to and read from the console - From a GUI application using the same cout/cin and printf/scanf[^]

Generally, you need not use the system() command. It has several disadvantages over the APIs and can affect the performance of your program, for what it's worth. Consider using CreateProcess, ShellExecute, or a similar API function instead.

no the sequence of command which i was talking about may also have them.
Yes, i tried to use the create process. but..

CString str;
str.Format("copy database\\*.* %s>>c:\\output.txt",tempfolder);
DeleteFile("output.txt");
STARTUPINFO s;
s.wShowWindow=STARTF_USESHOWWINDOW&&SW_SHOW ;
int ret=CreateProcess(str.GetBuffer(str.GetLength()),NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,&s,NULL);
//system(str);

there is no result.
what is the mistake here.

no difference still
iam using it this way.

STARTUPINFO s;
s.dwFlags=STARTF_USESHOWWINDOW;
s.wShowWindow=SW_SHOW ;
int ret=CreateProcess(str,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,&s,NULL);

here, str contains the command to be executed.
which is working perfectly when i use it with system().
what is the mistake here?

Try this.

::SecureZeroMemory(&si, sizeof(STARTUPINFO));
::SecureZeroMemory(&pi, sizeof(PROCESS_INFORMATION));

si.dwFlags = STARTF_USESHOWWINDOW;
si.wShowWindow = SW_SHOW;

::CreateProcess(NULL, str, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, &si, &pi);

this is how the vc++6.0 bangs me. though i included winbase.h.
here i will try to simplify my problem.
say,

str="dir >>c:\\output.txt";

now i want this command to be executed .
can we work in this direction?
