read(fd,buf,1) is so common that I do not need to explain its arguments.

Where can I find the source code for it?

read is a really common function you are correct so common we cant really determine what platform your on?!?!

i am guessing linux from unistd.h ??? if this is the case then you should have it on the machine already, in one of those ddep dark corners of the system.

Yes, Linux, C applications. I'm not looking for the header, I'm looking for the source code of the function.

Thanks.

im saying that the .c file is on your PC...

i think that read just passes params down to syscall() if that helps

FindFirstChangeNotification() results in "The network BIOS command limit has been reached."

My MFC application needs to monitor a directory on a network disk (mapped as Z Smile | :)

, and I'm using FindFirstChangeNotification() to do this. However, I am getting an INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE returned, and GetLastError() return 56 (which appears to be "The network BIOS command limit has been reached."
If I change the path of the monitored folder to a local drive, it works fine. How do I get over this problem ? (MSVC 6.0 - Win2000) (All the results from a Google search only seem to refer to a server situation)

so i think because your polling the call FindFirstChangeNotification() in an infinite loop it cries

might try adding a lil timer to the thread and put the contents of the do{}while(1) in the thread OnTimer event setting the polling interval to be something sensible

But the loop gets suspended at WaitOnMultipleObjects() after the very FIRST invocation of FindFirstChangeNotification(). (The whole reason for using this approach is to get away from a polling mechanism which introduces a delay) As I said originally, the code works fine when the target is a local disk - something to do with network, and I don't know how to fix it !!)

i am thinking that WaitOnMultipleObjects()doesnt "wait" that long (assumption about to make an ass of me) try printing out a gettickcount() or something in the do loop and see if that is the case.

Hi Killabyte, Actually, I'm getting the problem single-stepping in the debugger, so the loop isn't executing as such. Also the WaitOnMultipleObjects() has an INFINITE timeout. I don't quite know how FindFirstChangeNotification() is implemented, but presumably the problem resides in the firmware of the network disk controller - have logged on to it, but can't see any parameters in the SMB server that I can tweak. Or am I missing something here ?

Hi again, I had seen <a href="http://support.microsoft.com/kb/810886[^]">http://support.microsoft.com/kb/810886[^]</a>[<a href="http://support.microsoft.com/kb/810886[^]" target="_blank" title="New Window">^</a>] already - it only seems (unless I have missed something) to address the situation where the FindFirstChangeNotification() is aimed at a SERVER and then you can edit it's registry accordingly. In this case, the target is a network disk and that is why I logged on to it to see what parameters were available for tweaking - basically none !) I'd be surprised if I'm the first person to hit such a problem !

P.S. I clearly don't know how to insert a link (copied from a previous posting) in a new posting !!

oh crap. so your saying that there is no registry edit applicable on your target network disk?

i would have thought that if there is no "server" so to speak of then the client side registry would be altered? but then again who said logic plays a part in software development haha

Hi Killabyte, Yes !! When you logon to 192.168.1.9 using a browser, the facilities provided are minimal. Don't forget that the whole thing is implemented in firmware !! Basically, I'm beginning to think that I'm at it's mercy, and I'm stuffed !!! (Will have to stick with my old polling mechanism after all ... unless someone knows different ...... !

Hi,

a quick look at the code shows that the handle will not be closed.

From MSDN:
When the handle is no longer needed, it can be closed by using the FindCloseChangeNotification function.

So I guess the error will show up after the loop has been executed a few times?

Regards

I think I am missing out something but dont know exactly where I am wrong ...
I am getting followinf Error in MS Visual Studio8 (Error C2106 : '=': left operand must be |-value..... (I am not getting wht this error iss for..........? )

My Src Code --

# define MAX_TP_DATA_BYTES 60

typedef struct
{
sHeader Header;
unsigned char Data[MAX_TP_DATA_BYTES];
} sPacket;

I have pointer to packet *psPAcket

Than I have an array called
unsigned char ArrayData[MAX_TP_DATA_BYTES];

No what I am trying to do here is I am assigning the "Data" information in struct "sPacket.Data" to "ArrayData".

ArrayData = psPacket->Data; --- and this where its giving me error.... am I dng somehtign wrong...

Plz can anyone help me....
THanks!!!!!

You can't just assign arrays like that. You need to copy the contents of the source array to the destination array.

memcpy(ArrayData, ps->Data, MAX_TP_DATA_BYTES);

If you are using VS2005 or later you really should use the safer memcpy_s method instead because the memcpy method has been deprecated. The difference is that the memcpy_s method takes an extra parameter stating the size of the destination buffer and the method also now returns an error_t.

memcpy_s(ArrayData, MAX_TP_DATA_BYTES, ps->Data, MAX_TP_DATA_BYTES);

Counting items in a file with a C++ program

24-Jul-09 10:05

Greetings - and thank you for your consideration.

I am looking for your opinion - not asking for code or someone to do my work.

I have ASCII text files that consist of several thousand four digit numbers in each file. My job is to write a program that counts how many times each four digit number appears in each file.

Every four digit number will be on it's own line, like this:

6532
7737
9478
1239
7737

etc.

I know how to iterate the list. I have had several ideas on counting the individual numbers (in other words, how many times does 7737 etc appear in the file) but none that I think are very efficient - and whereas some of the best programmers in the world frequent this excellent place, I wondered if someone could give me an idea on a concept.

Thank you Gary

ok you challence me, but your question is too generic: what is the distribution of the numbers? And tell me more about the numbers you want to count: what is their distribution over the numbers in the file?

If the distribution of numbers is random there's no knowledge you can take account in your algorithm. Then the solution is: read the file as quick as possible and build an internal array that holds the counts.

If you're looking for performance i would rewrite the file, because for each number you have to figure out what number it is. It would rewrite it to a binary file, each number in a 2-byte int, no line feeds. Saves space a make the program more quickly

You have a maximum of 10,000 numbers. An int array of 10,000 items is about 40k. Since every line is 6 bytes, you can read the entire file into memory, or you could create a read buffer of, say, 6k. Then write a simple algorithm to convert the numbers to binary. Use this number to increment the value at the index in the array.

Use Ctrl+Left/Right to switch messages, Ctrl+Up/Down to switch threads, Ctrl+Shift+Left/Right to switch pages.
