I have VS6, which is a great little compiler. If I had an
error, VS6 showed me the error and what lead up to the error. That
is, what functions where called before the error. That helped
me spot where the error was.
Im using VS2005 and when an error arises, I just see the error. Is there a way finding out what functions were called just before that error was committed? Please let me know because that will be help me debug an application Im working on.
Sincerely,
Danielle Brina

when your app stops, go to the Debug menu, in the Windows sub-menu, find "Call Stack".

Call stack is a great tool for this...

Hi,
I have Hex data written in a file.
I need to plot graphs with Zoom in and out and multiple graphs on the same plot etc.
Is there any new attractive library to do that easily?
Regards,
Chaitanya

Search for SmartGraph in CP. There are many of these on CP.
It's up to you to convert your data to something meaningful in terms of x/y values.

Hi Charlie,
Can we scroll through the SmartGraph ?
I don't see that feature in the library !!

Chaitanya,
You'll have to poke through it - wish I had time to play with everything I see on Code Project. I guess from your initial question, I had assumed that you don't want to write your own. But, if you did, it would not be that hard to do.
Note that you have a number of other solutions as well. Pick one that works for you. Mind the licensing terms.
Regards,
Charlie Gilley

Hi!
I've got the following linker errors in my VC++ 2008 project(Windows XP) under release mode:
minimal.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "void __cdecl std::_Debug_message(wchar_t const *,wchar_t const *,unsigned int)" (?_Debug_message@std@@YAXPB_W0I@Z)
minimal.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "struct std::_DebugHeapTag_t const & __cdecl std::_DebugHeapTag_func(void)" (?_DebugHeapTag_func@std@@YAABU_DebugHeapTag_t@1@XZ)
minimal.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "void * __cdecl operator new[](unsigned int,struct std::_DebugHeapTag_t const &,char *,int)" (??_U@YAPAXIABU_DebugHeapTag_t@std@@PADH@Z)
I've added the following to the Additional Dependencies:
wxmsw29u_core.lib
wxbase29u.lib
wxtiffd.lib
wxjpegd.lib
wxpngd.lib
wxzlibd.lib
wxregexud.lib
wxexpatd.lib
winmm.lib
comctl32.lib
rpcrt4.lib
wsock32.lib
odbc32.lib
libcmt.lib
libcpmt.lib
Also I've added the following to the Ignore Specific Library:
LIBCMTD.lib
LIBCPMTD.lib
What else to do to get around those linker errors?

Are you calling debug functions in the code which are being compiled in a release build?
If that is the case then wrap that code in #if DBG ... #endif clauses.

Somewhat of a trivia question - I'm setting up a new machine for development.
I have project A, in project A's folder on my old machine - builds fine.
I then install VC++, the SDK, and copy the entire folder to the new machine.
It doesn't compile - missing include paths - tools -> options -> directories.
I fix it. It doesn't link. Back to directories, add the lib folders I need.
Happiness in dev land.
My question has to do with where the directory paths are saved. There isn't
anything in the project files that I can locate. I guess a follow up would be
why not?
I've seen this behavior on VS6, VS2008, Embedded Visual C++, so it's starting
to be a theme.

Envoronment vars, in the project, or in the options are where you want to look for all paths.

Maybe I'm not being clear - I want to know PHYSICALLY where these settings are. I do not change the env values, and although I can see the settings in the project/options, they are not kept in the .dsp files, etc. If I do a clean install of Visual Studio and then open my project, the settings are lost.

Oh, I see. The dsp file will have project settings, the registry wil hold the ones for mthe Options dialog.

Just for the record, and it's okay if you don't know
why? Why are the path settings in the registry? What's the point?
I guess that's rhetorical. I'm going to go over to the "Microsoft Forums social area" (song in background) to see if someone can shed some light as to the thought process.

Somewhere in HKLM / HKCU \SW\Microsoft\VisualStudio I would say. If you want to know for sure create a distinctive path and search the registry.
As for why, it is because the ones set in VSs options are global paths that apply to all projects.
Not only that, think of VS as the editor, not the compiler. The compiler is in the exes path in options. So you can specify any cl.exe you like, any linker too.
It really is quite flexible.
Perhaps you like VS 6 UI and VS 8 compiler. Then set VS 6 exe path to that of VS 8.

"because the ones set in VSs options are global paths that apply to all projects."
is the nugget - the lightbulb comes on!! Appreciate stating the obvious.
But I have to say, that signature is annoying.

Nothing to say. It keeps grabbing my attention like it's part of the response, which I guess it is in a way.

If you're using VS2008, you can export the Visual Studio IDE settings on the old machine to a file. Then import the settings on the new machine. These actually live in the CurrentSettings file found in your My Documents\Visual Studio 2008\Settings folder.
The CurrentSettings file is an XML file so if you wanted to, you could use any decent text editor to locate the settings in the file.
Hope this helps.

Sure does. I was looking for the "why" mostly.
You think you remember everything on a hard drive, but some of the things I installed were 5 years ago. Plus, I'm building a document for new developers and s/w configuration.

Hi all,
I have seen two difference,
1. Critical Sections are relatively faster than Mutex. That is synchronizing with the same process, is more efficient.
2. Mutex could be used with cross-process thread synchronization.
So I have two questions,
1. Am I correct?
2. Any other points on this?
Your comments are really appreciate.
I appreciate your help all the time...

From the book Programming Applications for Microsoft Windows by Jeffrey Richter,
Mutexes behave identically to critical sections, but mutexes are kernel objects, while critical sections are user-mode objects. This means that mutexes are slower than critical sections. But it also means that threads in different processes can access a single mutex,...
I think this line answers your two questions.
