It is possible to get the name of logged in users from a service (you have already asked that and got an answer). Using that you can guess the the user directory path and verify it by checking if the pathe exists.
But a service should not modify user data and usually does not need to read user data.
You have not told us why you need access to user directories. Maybe there is a better solution for your problem.

Just a guess, since I never did it yet:
- enumerate currently logged i user using NetUserEnum or/and NetWkstaUserEnum functions to get the SID for every user;
- use these SIDs to get info for every user from registry (HKEY_USERS\<sid>\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders)
- ...
Hope, it helps (at least to move you in some potentially useful direction).

There is an environment variable named 'APPDATA' which has a full path.
You can get any environment variable.
So would that not be sufficient?
|
|
|
|
|
That is local to the user, not available to a service.

I see - that makes it clear.

Multiple users can be logged in at once.

hi,
The default integer declaration assumes a signed number. But when i tried
unsigned int a=-26;
printf("\n%d",a);
it printed "-26" only. Why?
|
|
|
|
|
Hi,
It is undefined behaviour because you have used wrong format specifier. Use %u instead of %d for unsigned int. like :
unsigned int a=-26;
printf("\n%u",a);
|
|
|
|
|
Thanks. Is it only about the format specifier? Or some other conversion happens inside?
|
|
|
|
|
Yes correct. If a conversion specification is invalid, the behavior is undefined.
If any argument is not the correct type for the corresponding conversion specification, the behavior is undefined.
|
|
|
|
|
No, it is most definitely NOT undefined behavior. This is exactly the behavior one should expect. The variable a has the binary value of -26 decimal, or 0xFFFFFFE6 in 32-bit hexadecimal. When it is passed to printf with a %d format specifier it will be interpreted as a signed decimal value and -26 is printed. There is nothing undefined about that. It is interpreting the variable exactly as the format specifier is defined to. It may not be what you want but it is as expected.

Introduction to the data:
NOAA's National Centers for Environmental Information collects global climate data and aggregates this data to provide information on climate trends and variability. One product they offer is a monthly regional analysis. The following table gives "anomaly" data by continent for January 2017. "Anomaly" means the value is the temperature difference from the average temperature from years 1910–2000.
Continent Anomaly (C)
North America 3.18
South America 1.36
Europe -0.12
Africa 0.53
Asia 1.92
Oceania 0.98
Assignment task:
Your task is to develop an algorithm that would sort data such as these from least to greatest. Specifically, given an unsorted set of N decimal values, your algorithm should sort them to give an answer of the sorted data. For this set of N = 6, your algorithm should produce:
-0.12
0.53
0.98
1.36
1.92
3.18
Execute your algorithm for a different set of data, such as a subset of the given data, data you make up, or another month's climate data, such as February 2017: https://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/sotc/global-regions/201702
Does your algorithm work for any N? Have you thought of corner cases it might need to handle, such as N = 0 or N = 1?

I'm seeing the word you/your seven times in that post. Somehow I do not feel that translates to us.
if you need help with something you did, feel free to post the code, tell what it does or doesn't do, what it should do, and what you've tried. Ask specific questions, rather than broad questions.

Hi , I read a block of code, there is a function like:
void funcA( unsigned int * dtc, unsigned int* status)
{
int rval;
unsigned int* lstatus;
rval = funcB(dtc, lstatus);
.....
}
int funcB(unsigned int *idtc, unsinged int* istatus ) {
*istatus = XXX;
}
I understood, lstatus is not initialized, is that good way to use a local pointer like the above?
|
|

|

That code will not work.
You are correct to question it.
If the code actually runs it is only because of the way that the compiler lays down the stack and/or what the exact code did just before the first method was called.
In the method the pointer is considered to be non-initialized but because it is a pointer that was created on the stack it will have a value, whatever was in the memory that the stack is using at that point. Thus correctly stated 'garbage'.

It works.
Yes, I think this is typical wild pointer.

It runs, which is a bit different.
If the compiler changes in the future or the flow does then it might stop. Or it might cause problems in other places.

That is wrong. The usual idiom is instead
void funcA( unsigned int * dtc, unsigned int* status)
{
int rval;
unsigned int lstatus;
rval = funcB(dtc, &lstatus);
.....
}
int funcB(unsigned int *idtc, unsinged int* istatus ) {
*istatus = XXX;
}

I am trying to make a global 2D array using vectors, but I am having some trouble in doing so. Below code is a small part of my project where I need to make a global 2D array whose size has to be passed through a command line. I am passing row and column as command line arguments.
"ESSolver.h"
#include <vector>
using namespace std;
extern int row;
extern int col;
extern vector<vector<double>> _muPop(row, vector<double>(col));
class ESSolver
{
public:
ESSolver();
void Init();
void Disp();
private:
vector< vector<double> > *muPop;
};
"ESSolver.cpp"
#include <iostream>
#include <vector>
#include "../include/ESSolver.h"
using namespace std;
ESSolver::ESSolver()
{
muPop = &_muPop;
return;
}
void ESSolver::Init()
{
for (int i = 0; i < row; i++)
{
for (int j = 0; j < col; j++)
{
(*muPop)[i][j] = i+1;
}
}
}
void ESSolver::Disp()
{
for (int i = 0; i < row; i++)
{
for (int j = 0; j < col; j++)
{
cout << (*muPop)[i][j] << " ";
}
cout << endl;
}
}
"main.cpp"
#include "../include/ESSolver.h"
#include <vector>
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int row;
int col;
vector<vector<double>> _muPop(row, vector<double>(col));
int main(int argc, char *argv[]){
row = atoi(argv[1]);
col = atoi(argv[2]);
ESSolver es;
es.Init();
}

You declare your vector as a global, but the values of row and col will be zero when it is created. Make it a local variable and let your ESSolver object manage it. Or better still make it a member of the ESSolver class.

Your concept is totally wrong and won't work at least here:
vector<vector<double>> _muPop(row, vector<double>(col)); because row and col are not defined.
Write a class that holds the 2D array. That class should have an initialisation function with the number of rows and columns as parameters that allocates the array and initialises the array items.
Then there is even no need to have a global instance of that class. It can be a local member of your main function.
You might also check if the usage of vector is really necessary. If you don't need vector specific operations using classic C style arrays or C++ array templates might be a better option.
