Visual Studio 2005 not hitting breakpoints.

I'm building a small C app. ATM, I'm simply twiddling with a Hello World app because it seems that any app I create will not hit break points.

I opened the project settings and /DEBUG was turned off under the linker settings. I turned that on, rebuilt and located my *.opt file. I attempted to 'debug' again and VS simply skips over the breakpoints. The breakpoint settings indicate that they are set to 'break always' and I *am* running (via F5) the debug version through VS.

I've deleted all breakpoints, clean, rebuilt, adjusted settings and it still acts like it's a Release build.

If I create an MFC app, breakpoints work fine.

Anyone seen this before?

Are you sure it was set ON in the compiler settings?

Before I posted originally, I had already changed this setting: "Linker->Debugging->Generate Debug Info" to YES (/DEBUG).

I just now set "C/C++ ->General->Debug Information Format" to Program Database (/Zi). It was set to 'Disabled'.

I've never seen a VS disable all debugging in a new project before and certainly not for a 'DEBUG' build. Do I need new glasses? Wink | ;)

Anyway, thanks for your help. I looked there before but must have missed it. D'Oh! | :doh:

Cheers!

Annoying problem with VISTA and Win7 and above?

Hello,

I have written one executable in C++ which runs from startup of 'All Users' in user's account. In order to give read and write permissions to the place where this executable reads and writes into a file and creates logs we have a service which gives the particular folder the ACL permissions. Using this concept even restricted user never faces any problem while trying to do any of its designed functionality till XP. But, in some cases starting from VISTA we get the executable visible in task manager but it does not do any thing and also not even makes the log.

I need to find why this happens. If any one knows please throw some light on this

Regards,

Kushagra

Have you tried running your application under the debugger to see what is happening?

I can recommend the Standard User Analyzer tool included with the Application Compatibility Toolkit[^].

It is a kind of a debugger, that monitors all the calls the application does and verifies it doesn't break standard user priviledges.

Btw. there is a standard directory for storing application settings and logs. See also SHGetFolderPath(NULL, CSIDL_COMMON_APPDATA,...)[^]

Separating business and presentation logic in different threads

Hi fellow CP-ers.

I worked with monstrous legacy C/C++ code where the GUI and business logic components are executed in the same thread. It worked fine, but the GUI is similar to Win 3.1 style: ugly clunky and yucky (sorry for hardcore 3.1-ers!).

Since then we upgraded our system with new GUI tools and processors. We decided to take this opportunity to untangle the system. We put all the biz logic in one thread (this hosts multiple apps, drawing or non-drawing), and all related GUI items (rendering loop, animations, and all its support classes) on the other thread. IMO, this is very beneficial since for example the button may animate fade in or out, etc, while the biz logic thread can still host other non-drawing applications. Note that we will try to do as much as we can locally in rendering thread if it doesn't involve biz logic (ex: highlights, international strings, etc). If it requires data, it will post to biz logic thread and retrieve it.

So this new guy came in and decided to put all the GUI classes back to the business logic thread. Rendering is still done on other thread, but now for every single little graphics primitives (think set colors, move obj to x,y, set transparency, etc) we need to send out a message. His reasoning is that it's too clumsy to post handler messages to other thread, he prefers call back, and he said it's common for most GUI frameworks to have this synchronous behavior.

Can someone help me explain why the synchronicity of button handler is so important? Am I missing something?

Don't we already have similar model of biz logic / presentation separation in present day web technology? (i.e. Fancy flash animations in your web browser sending/fetching data from the server, or AJAX heavily used by Google apps?)

The are two principles mixed together here:
1) Splitting business logic and GUI logic - This is good as it allows one to write unit-tests that can test the business-logic without needing to test using the GUI.
2) Using worker-threads to perform long running operations - This gives a good GUI experience, as the GUI remains responsive even when doing heavy processing.

Multi-threaded programming increases the complexity of the code. So it should only be introduced where it actually provides a performance boost.

I have no problem in understanding why your new developer wants to make synchronous requests as it is so much simpler.

I have no clue about your customer base, or the type of application you are building. But the tendency is that we work towards client/server based applications, where the client is launched through a web-browser (ASP.NET / Silverlight) and the Server is available from the Internet (Easy deployment, Centralized hosting and backup). In this scenario then the splitting of GUI and business logic should come natural.

What Will Happen? Two Projects Merging together that both access a DLL

Greg Mort8-Dec-09 5:44

I have a DLL that communications to COM ports (we will call dll 'A')
I would prefer to only have one instance of this dll in memory at all times

I have two projects a C# windows form project ('B') and a c++ dll ('C')
that both access the COM port dll('A')

I am going to merge the c++ dll('C') and the C# project('B') into one application('BC')

Seeing that they both access functions of the dll('A'), but are there own entity is it possible to make both projects access the same dll('A') in memory instead of loading it in twice?

the communication dll('A') has multiple threads and is quite complex, I do NOT want two instances, but need the functionality of dll('B') in project ('C')

hopefully as convoluted as that is, it makes sense

Thank you for your help

That is the whole idea behind DLLs, one instance in memory servicing multiple apps at one time.
