I have a class that acts something like the following:
class Foo {
private:
int const (&InitPrimes() const)[3] {
int (*const rval)[3] = new int[1][3];
(*rval)[0] = 2;
(*rval)[1] = 3;
(*rval)[2] = 5;
return *rval;
}
public:
int const (&primes)[3];
explicit Foo() : primes(InitPrimes()) { }
virtual ~Foo() { delete[] ℙ }
};If I have the following code in a main function, all three of the cout statements print the same value:
Foo a;
cout << a.primes << endl;
cout << &a.primes[0] << endl;
cout << &a.primes << endl; How is this possible? It seems logical that "a.primes" == "&a.primes[0]", but shouldn't "&a.primes" be a distinct value? If they are the same, then shouldn't the following contradiction be true (assume all three return value 0xF0):
Address 0xF0 (&a.primes ) is of type "(int*)[3]" and holds the value 0xF0, the location of a.primes
Address 0xF0 ( a.primes ) is of type " int [3]" and holds the value 0xF0, the address of the first element in the array
Address 0xF0 ( a.primes[0]) is of type " int " and holds the value 2, the first prime number Clearly I am misinterpreting which of these assumptions is false, because I know that address 0xF0 can't be 0xF0 and 2 at the same time (let's not get into a discussion on simultaneity with respect to relativity). If I type
*((int*)0xF0) into the immediate window (VS 2008), it returns 2, but then why is &a.primes == 0xF0? Any clarification on why the above is happening would be greatly appreciated. Thanks,
Sounds like somebody's got a case of the Mondays

IIRC, the original C idea (almost 40 years ago) was that the "value" of an array symbol was its base address. In other words, array == &array == &(array[0]). This dates from the days when a pointer was a pointer (to anything), and void was not yet a keyword. Somewhere in a standard or pseudo-standard that I can't find right now, there is a statement to the effect that the address-of operator (&) is optional when referring to an array. I remember some fairly energetic debate when I was working on a very early non-PDP11 implementation of Unix and C.
[OT, sort of] I think this is sufficiently removed from the present message in the time dimension for considerations of simultaneity to be of probability zero.  ]

Your problem is that you say that &a.primes is of type (int *)[3]. (Actually I think you mean int (*)[3] - a pointer to an array of three ints, not an array to three pointers to int, but that's another story) It's not - it's type is int * const.
The name of an array is an alias for the address of the first element in that array. This means that:
T t[ N ];
t == &t[ 0 ];
for all T and N.
Likewise the address of an array is an alias for the first element in that array. Again this means that:
T t[ N ];
&t == &t[ 0 ];
for all T and N.
it also means that the type of &t is T * const, not (T *)[3]; as you asserted in your post.
So t, &t and &t[ 0 ] are synonyms for the same thing and *t, *&t and t[ 0 ] all refer to the same location in memory.

Alright, I think that I understand what you are saying (although I'm still confused as to why the designers of C decided to do this). The point of my post was to ensure that class Foo is correctly deallocating the member primes in it's destructor. If I understand you correctly, then all of the following should be equivalent statements, all of which result in no memory leaks:
virtual ~Foo() {
delete[] primes;
delete[] ℙ
delete[] &primes[0];
}Is it true that all of these correctly deallocate primes in the example? Thanks,

The best way of avoiding delete stress like this is to not bother with fiddling about with multi-dimensional arrays. Use a vector or vector of vectors and you don't have to worry about declaring it properly, sizing it or freeing it. The class does all that for you with very little overhead (bit of space, maybe some run-time cost if your optimiser isn't up to much).
Or another way is to handle the multidimensional bit yourself over a one dimensional array but that's a bit fiddlier and not the sort of thing you want to think about unless you're writing a collection class.
Cheers,
Ash
PS: All those will delete primes - just be careful of what they're pointing to. Arrays of pointers are a good way of going gaga and there's usually a better way of doing them.
PPS: The designers of C designed pointers and arrays to be very close to the hardware - which is why they're a bugger to use properly. Fortunately in C++ you don't need to use them that much, there's almost always a better alternative.

So, I'm fairly familiar with socket programming, but I have never before tried to send HTTP arguments to a web page before using WinSock.
I'm trying to duplicate the data in the following URL:
http://www.thewebsite.com/sub/database?action=authenticate&username=test&password=test
First, I am opening a socket to www.thewebsite.com on port 80. Then, I am sending the following:
<br />
std::string message = "POST /sub/database?action=authenticate&username=test&password=test";<br />
send(m_hConnection, message.c_str(), message.length(), 0);<br />
The problem is, I don't receive a response making me assume the format is incorrect since pasting the URL in a browser does return a response. Now, I'm kind of just guessing on the format to send the data in as I can't seem to find a good description online that doesn't involve a 3rd party library.
I have the following code in another thread in attempt to receive this data:
<br />
char recvbuf[MAX_BUFFER_LENGTH]; <br />
int result = recv(m_hConnection, recvbuf, MAX_BUFFER_LENGTH, 0)<br />
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Found 2 of my problems.
First, it appears there is a problem receiving on the socket from a different thread that the one that created it. Can anyone confirm this and give me a possible solution?
Second, I added "HTTP/1.0\n" after POST in my message, I receive a response on a recv line directly after the send (not in the threaded method), but now I'm getting a response of:
HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request
Content-Type: text/html
Date: Mon, 13 Sep 2010 21:35:24 GMT
Connection: close
Content-Length: 34
<h1>Bad Request (Invalid URL)</h1>
Any ideas?

Looks like a violation of the HTTP RFC, when client sends a HTTP 1.0 request the server must not answer with a HTTP 1.1 response as in your example. Well, try to send a HTTP 1.1 request as shown in my post below (including a Host header line), perhaps the server understand only HTTP 1.1. What kind of web server software are you using?

Correct HTTP protocol[^] requires sending more than just the request line. If the service responds to pasting the URL to a browser, you must use the GET method instead of POST. The form data[^] is appended to the URL as name=value pairs separated by "&" characters.

Thanks for the reply, but linking to a 176 page document is not helpful in answering my simple question. Also, if you would look at the syntax I used I do understand the name=value pairs quite well. If you look at the reply I posted to my own post, I added the correct HTTP/1.0 header and now receive a response, but not a good one. Also, using GET instead of post does not seem to make a difference.
Thanks,
Dustin

This would be a GET request not a POST, translated into HTTP 1.1:
GET /sub/database?action=authenticate&username=test&password=test HTTP/1.1\r\n
Host: www.thewebsite.com\r\n\r\n
Does this help?

Thank you, this helps a lot. Along with the GET, adding the correct formatting you've shown at the end of my request makes it work.
Thanks for the help

Hello, I getting worried over this input validation as follows:
int age(0);
while (true)
{
cout << "\nEnter your age: ";
cin >> age;
if (cin.fail())
{
cin.clear();
cout << "Please enter a digit (number) only.\n";
continue;
}
cin.get();
break;
}
I don't get any problems when I enter a digit. In a way to validate input, I intentionally entered a letter. The test for cin.fail() is executed and the loop starts again. But when the loop restarts and gets to cin >> age, it does not wait for me to enter anything. It continues as if something has been entered, then the cin.fail() condition statements are executed again and again... I would like to know what I should do so that when the loop restarts and gets to where the application expects input, it waits for user input rather than continuing. Thanks.

You need to remove any guff that's currently gumming up the stream. Have a look here[^] for a canned solution.
The bit you're missing is at the end of the second if in the while loop.

hi,
i would like to write a control that works the same as the IE8 address bar with the auto complete option , and implement the delete that appear on each address.
in .NET i have the option of auto complete - is it also in MFC?
and regarding the delete i have no idea how to start....
thanks!!

Hi I want to write a device driver and I need to include ntddk.h, ndis.h, ipFirewall.h and windows.h too (for calling some APIs for example MessageBox). When I compile the source file I get some errors like redefinition structures or constant values. Why? 
And tel me how I can use APIs like GetDriveType, MessageBeep, etc in drivers.
Look at these:
1>d:\winddk\7600.16385.1\inc\api\ntdef.h(1418) : error C2027: use of undefined t
ype 'LIST_ENTRY64'
1>d:\winddk\7600.16385.1\inc\api\ntdef.h(1418) : error C2227: left of '->Blink'

1>d:\winddk\7600.16385.1\inc\ddk\mce.h(137) : error C2079: '_MCA_EXCEPTION::Time

short answer - you can't. It's a driver - it executes in kernel mode not user mode hence no user-mode APIs

I've created a derived class of CMFCRibbonCombobox. How to set the RibbonComboBox to Drop List type by code? the default type is Dropdown.
Thanks！
|

Just set the second parameter to FALSE in its constructor
virtual void BeHappy() = 0;
|
|
|
|
|
I've tried this way. the second parameter is meaning of hasEditBox? not the droplist type.I followed the code and founded that there is a member(m_bDropDownListMode) in the CMFCPopupMenuBar class, and its default value is FALSE.How can I use it? when we use the toolbox in VS2010, we can modify the property to droplist type directly, How can I do it by code?
|
|
|
|
|
// not the droplist type.
Why not ?.. It would be a combobox with a choice list only...
What do you desire exactly for, please ?
virtual void BeHappy() = 0;
|
|
|
|

In CMFCToolBarMenuButton::OnCalculateSize Funcation:
...
if (pParentMenu->IsDropDownListMode())
{
CMFCDropDownListBox* pList = DYNAMIC_DOWNCAST(CMFCDropDownListBox, pParentMenu->GetParent());
if (pList != NULL)
{
return pList->OnGetItemSize(pDC, this, size);
}
}
...
so I desire to set RibbonCombobox dowmlistmode to respand the OnGetItemSize message, to execute the overload fun (OnGetDropListItemSize) which adjust the dropdownlist's width.
