Like I said in that message, in this case, so does JavaScript, Python or any other language. 
I wonder if there is a library for translation of shell script to a machine code — highly doubted statement.

No, you said: "You can't do that in C++ either, if you can then you can do so in JavaScript too"
C++ does compile down to machine code, script languages dont, they are interpreted.

But the interpreter the VB Net code will be running on will be written in C or C++ because to run on actual hardware you have to run the instruction set that hardware exposes. You can only do that in a compiled language.

Because not everyone is programming desktop GUI apps, and not everyone hates OOP.
C++ provides an object-oriented programming model for C environments. C is Assembly language with a better syntax. So, it means you can do more of hardware programming easily, registers are available etc. C++ was created by Bjarne to include "classes", because he had experience in Simula, which was object-oriented.
C was not, so C++ was created to support that, C++ was called, "C with Classes". If you need hardware control and are only an OOP geek, then you use C++, otherwise you use C.
Despite my answer, this question is childish and immature. If you need to know if a language is needed to be learnt of if you should use it, know its history! That will answer all of your questions. Just a friendly reminder, when I started to learn how to program in 2011, I heard C++ was fading away, Java is future, I also heard Windows Forms will die soon, and WPF is future. None of that happens and these news are caused by some idiots in computer science who have no idea what they are saying.
Quote: The creator of C++, Bjarne Stroustrup, has acknowledged that Simula 67 was the greatest influence on him to develop C++, to bring the kind of productivity enhancements offered by Simula to the raw computational speed offered by lower level languages like BCPL.

Because C is the corner stone language in computing. It is the language of OSs, space ships, embedded, etc. C++ extends that power scales it, and is a true engineers language.
C# (Java) and other interpreted languages have their uses, principally where you want to limit the power of the language for security reasons, or to work at highly extrapolated levels a long way from the hardware.

As noted by others for drivers and embedded systems. It is a mature language that works well with hardware with less interpretation.
One reason many people left C++ was they hate pointers, but as those other languages mature, they too employ pointers, so in the end we are now seeing a revival of C++.
p.s.
Some people love pointers.

Does anyone have experience using Electric Cloud build accelerator with C++/CLI code?
I'm primarily interested to know if C++/CLI projects are supported. The Electric Cloud support/helpcenter returns no results for my related searches.

Almost every build automation tool supports the toolchains, or they provide tools to setup your own build tasks and set up your own binaries.
Do they allow that? I don't have an account, so I cannot test that.

Why have you posted this under Managed C++?
|
|
|
|

I am receiving a date structure in "24-9-2016 13:30" format. Now I want to convert time value to specific timezone, I am doing calculations and have number of hours to add or substract.
So I don't know: how can I initialize tm struct with the date value I have? how to add or substract hours in tc struct variable to get required date?
my intention is
Date received "24-9-2016 13:30" and 5 Hours to add so final Date: "24-9-2016 18:30"
time_t tempTime
time(&tempTime);
struct tm *initStruct = localtime(&tempTime);initStruct ->tm_year = 2016;
initStruct->tm_mon = 9;
initStruct->tm_hour = 13;
.
.
.
please provide inputs.

I am not sure what this has to do with Managed C++. However, the time, _time32, _time64[^] function describes the content of a time_t value, which you can easily initialise with a user defined time. I have not come across a date_t type, where is it defined?
|
|
|
|
|
Sorry, if I used wrong group to post. I have updated post with some of the steps I tried, please check and let me know if is there any solution available.
|
|
|
|

Since all those fields are integers you can add, subtract or replace any of them. You should check that the values are valid in terms of the calendar, although the mktime, _mktime32, _mktime64[^] functions will attempt to normalise a tm structure into a valid time. There are many other useful functions, and you should study the documentation to see which ones will help you.
|
|
|
|
|
Yes, all these are integers, so I can perform addition or subtraction, but it is not handled well in below cases-
if hours are added
Like 4.5 then 13 hours should become 18:30
Or more than 24 then date should modify
In above cases I will need to add additional code depending on hours value, which is bad, isn't there any system method which will modify entire structure depending on the value assigned
|
|
|
|
|
If you want to add partial hours, days etc. Then use mktime (as I advised in my previous comment) to convert your tm structure into a time_t value. you can then just add or subtract the number of seconds in your time increment.
|
|
|
|
|
ok, so here is what I did now-
time_t tempTime
time(&tempTime);
struct tm *initStruct = localtime(&tempTime);initStruct ->tm_year = 2016;
initStruct->tm_mon = 9;
initStruct->tm_hour = 13;
int hoursToAdd = 4.5;
initStruct->tm_hour = initStruct->tm_hour + hoursToAdd;
time_t myTime = mktime(initStruct);
printf( "%s", ctime( &myTime));
any idea whats going wrong here?
|
|
|
|
|
int hoursToAdd = 4.5;
That is not a valid statement so it will not even compile. You cannot assign a floating point number to an integer variable.
|
|
|
|
|
Yes, my bad. well in that case my original question reopens how can I assign partial hour to tm struct to enable it to give valid date value.
|
|
|
|
|
You really (and I mean really) need to go and study the documentation which explains what each field represents. If you have some number of hours and some number of minutes then you need to add them separately to each field. You should also step through your code with the debugger so you can see at each step what are the values of the various fields.

Thank you very much Richard for your kind help. I really appreciate your time and effort.

Please I am new to c++ as I have been learning it on my own for months now, and I will like to know how to add the gtkmm lib to visual studio 2015. Any help will be much appreciated.thanks
