that code was what I got in real!
by the way, did you mean I can rely on "sizeof" to write/read a whole structure into a file aborting that "padding" stuff? like when I don't know how it works under the hood
|

Well if that code was what you got "in real" then perhaps you're using a cranky old C++ compiler. If you read from or write to a wofstream then the first parameter is a wchar_t pointer - this is standard and completely non-negotiable. I've checked that one line on 9 compilers (one being Comeau which is the best you're ever going to get for C++98/03 standard compliance - I know, my life is so meaningless) and none of them compiled the code. They all gave me a warning that the code was incorrect.
And I meant exactly what I said - when you ask a particular compiler what the size of a structure is it'll always give the same answer with the same build settings.

congratulations! You're life's so meaningful  cause I'd behaved so stupid!!! I was wrong and my compiler had emitted a warning too.
and one more thing! thnx 4 introducing that modern compilet.

If that were the case then lots of programs would not work. If you write the structure using sizeof and read it back in the same way then you will restore the exact same structure every time. Only if you use different padding options in your code would you have a problem.
It's time for a new signature.

you're right (and I'm left
but I meant "the sum of all memberss' size" when I said "the size of a structure". by the way do u know how I can make the compiler ignore that PADDING stuff? I mean a STANDARD way not an implementation-specific one.
thnx

Sure, but why worry about a few extra bytes, which will not have any significant effect on either your program or your files? If you want to pack your structure tightly then use the #pragma pack()[^] compiler directive.

thank you for your attention!
1. is that a STANDARD method or Implementation-Specific? (Yes I know I've already asked it. Just for sure)
2. What's that padding stfuff useful for? Why do compilers take such a strategy?
|
|
|
|

1. I think the compiler writers are allowed to decide what their default option will be.
2. Padding of short items allows the compiler to take advantage of processor hardware. In some cases the system is more efficient if words, double words etc are aligned on even boundaries.
It's time for a new signature.

I create a item as CMFCToolBarComboBoxButton and add it to CMFCToolBar. Now, I can handle the message such as CBN_SELCHANGE. But how to handle the edit message of CMFCToolBarComboBoxButton.
I tried with EN_CHANGE and CBN_EDITCHANGE, but the breakpoint in these handler did not work.
Please tell me how I should do?
Thanks!

Hi,
How to check whether the dll can be loaded in c++?
Thanks,
|
|
|
|
|
|
Yeah,I have loaded the dll and its returning 0x11000000 value in HINSTANCE But while getting the address of that function,its returning value 0x00000000. Whats the reason? If we open a dll in notepad, it should contain the function names right? but this is dll is not showing any fn names in notepad. Please tell me why GetProcAdress is returning NULL value?
Thanks,
|

Maybe a function name mangling issue. Why don't you use the Dependecy Walker tool [^] to see function names?

Yes.I have used Dependency walker. But its showing only 4 functions DllCanUnLoadNow,DllGetClassObject,DllRegisterServer,DllUnregisterServer.
But I can use the functions in .net. In c++ only, its not working.

That's because it is a COM server and you have to use the COM way (e.g. via CoCreateInstance [^] function) to access it's functionality.

Have you correctly exported your function names with __declspec(dllexport)?
It's time for a new signature.
|
|
|
|
|
No.This dll is given by a vendor.This is not our dll.

Then they are the people you need to talk to, as they should have both the source code and the instructions on how to use the functions.

Put this before class and function names that you want to export from the dll.
extern "C"
This will prevent the C++ way of mangling the names. Theres nothing wrong in mangling but if you export a function like
int Sum(int, int) C++ will NOT reduce that to _Sum, like C and like you might expect. That means when you import that into your program, you can't simply search for "Sum" but have to follow C++ name mangling rules and search for THAT name.

For example, a game only supports connecting in one lan. How to make it connectable via Internet?
VPN?
|
|
|
|
|
Your question isn't really a C/C++/MFC related question, you should try a more suitable message board. However, VPN could work, but as far as i know some games use broadcast packets to find their servers on the lan but broadcast packets aren't submitted through internet via VPN (i might be wrong of course). In this case, you might try somesort of tunneling, like an SSH tunnel or somesuch, maybe that could work. Come to think of it, trying the tunneling might even be a better choice at the first place.
By the way, just so you know, it might be illegal to do what you wish if the makers of the game charge players extra for internet gameplay and you are trying to avoid paying by making a LAN game go thorough the net.

I am highly used to C than C++, but now I'm trying to understand C++ as well. I have fstream object which I used to create a file for output.
What I want is that if there is any file write error, the file that was created should be removed from the disk. What is the name of the method that I should invoke with the fstream object to remove the file from the disk, as it is done in C using remove() to accomplish such a goal? Please help.

I think DeleteFile is Windows specific, so I wouldn't want that one. I will use remove() rather. But does it mean there is no method in C++ to be used for such a goal?
