Which tool to use for detecting heap fragmentation. Does any come free with visual studio or windows2000.
As any other free downloadable
|
|
|
|
|
Ofcourse microsoft provides one such tool called heap walker(heapwalk.exe).
It can be freely downloaded from here
But one draw back is that it does not tell exactly which application is holding the memory.
greatest thing is to do wot others think you cant

Not really an answer to your question, but I question from myself, knowing you are using Fortran as well:
Although we don't write Fortran anymore, some of our applications still have Fortran.
When we started to use Visual Studio .Net/2003 we noticed that our mixed C++/Fortran applications crashed at startup with a run-time error (even before the main was reached).
Our Fortran is compiled with Fortran PowerStation (we can't use Visual Fortran because it does not support all constructions we use in our Fortran).
Which Fortran compiler are you using? Which C++ compiler?
Did you also encounter such strange problems in mixed language applications? And how did you solve it?
Thanks.
Enjoy life, this is not a rehearsal !!!

Hi,
the problem is a very strange.That's the code:
static char pszFilter[]="Text Files (*.txt)|*.txt|All Files (*.*)|*.*||";
fileDlg CFileDialog(false, "txt", "*.txt", OFN_OVERWRITEPROMPT|OFN_PATHMUSTEXIST, pszFilter, this, 0);
fileDlg.DoModal();
if(m_table.OpenAll()==S_OK) /*m_table - OLE DB ACCESSOR*/
m_table.CloseAll();
if I close the CFileDialog by the OK button, the table will receive E_FAIL, but
if I close the CFileDialog by the Cancel button, the table will be opened properly.
Does anybody have idea what the problem is?
|
|
|
|
|
shouldn't you check the return value of DoModal() before opening m_table?
|
|
|
|
|
yep, i'm checking it, but i removed it from there to make the code clear. I have been making a lot of tests and the resoult is:
after I run the CFileDialog all accessors are not working (OpenAll is returning E_FAIL)
(there are about 25 accessors in my code)
disaster

|
|

I've found the information about this problem. The CFileDialog changes the working directory, so if database is opened from the working directory (without a full path) the system will not be able to open it.

Hi
I am writing a C++ program thats requires me to execute another program using the DOS prompt. Hence, whenever I execute the command line, the dos window will pop up at the background. Thus I am wondering if anyone can teach me how to prevent the dos prompt from popping out. Thank you
I am using system(command) to execute the program.

system() is a holdover from DOS days. Use CreateProcess() instead!

Hello,
Use ShellExecute function,
ShellExecute(handle, NULL, path_to_folder, NULL, NULL, SW_SHOWNORMAL);
With Regards,

it must be SW_HIDE if he wants to hide the Win32 Console

One solution is CreateProcess() and pass in CREATE_NO_WINDOW.

There's a great article on this site that explains how to do this with ShellExecuteEx(). He also talks about CreateProcess as well. I've found in my particular app ShellExecuteEx() did exactly what I wanted. (I just used this in a program yesterday which is how I know the article works great!)
click here for the article
Here's the excerpt for what you are looking for:
Q: How do I start a program, and halt execution of my current program, till that program exits?
A: You start the program using ShellExecuteEx and use WaitForSingleObject on the process handle.
SHELLEXECUTEINFO ShExecInfo = {0};
ShExecInfo.cbSize = sizeof(SHELLEXECUTEINFO);
ShExecInfo.fMask = SEE_MASK_NOCLOSEPROCESS;
ShExecInfo.hwnd = NULL;
ShExecInfo.lpVerb = NULL;
ShExecInfo.lpFile = "c:\\MyProgram.exe";
ShExecInfo.lpParameters = "";
ShExecInfo.lpDirectory = NULL;
ShExecInfo.nShow = SW_SHOW;
ShExecInfo.hInstApp = NULL;
ShellExecuteEx(&ShExecInfo);
WaitForSingleObject(ShExecInfo.hProcess,INFINITE);
...The only thing that you will have to do is where it says ShExecInfo.nShow = SW_SHOW; ... change the SW_SHOW to SW_HIDE and it'll work perfectly.

hi
Thank you for the reply.
I had tried the code but it seem like it cannot execute the command line tat i wanted. Because my program required me to launch this external program that require me to key in the command line on to the DOS Prompt.
My inital program
command = "jpegtran -greyscale JPEG.jpg greyscale.jpg";
system(command);
thus if I am using wat u told me, how can i execute the above command line without DOS prompt popping out.
Thank you so much
cheers

Hey there. Here's the code snippet that I pasted in my previous post. I made some modifications to it that should suit your needs.
SHELLEXECUTEINFO ShExecInfo = {0};
ShExecInfo.cbSize = sizeof(SHELLEXECUTEINFO);
ShExecInfo.fMask = SEE_MASK_NOCLOSEPROCESS;
ShExecInfo.hwnd = NULL;
ShExecInfo.lpVerb = NULL;
ShExecInfo.lpFile = "c:\\jpegtran.exe";
ShExecInfo.lpParameters = "-greyscale JPEG.jpg greyscale.jpg"; // --- THIS IS YOUR PARAMS!
ShExecInfo.lpDirectory = NULL;
ShExecInfo.nShow = SW_HIDE;
ShExecInfo.hInstApp = NULL;
ShellExecuteEx(&ShExecInfo);
WaitForSingleObject(ShExecInfo.hProcess,INFINITE);
..............
Have a peek at the line
ShExecInfo.lpParameters = "-greyscale JPEG.jpg greyscale.jpg"; // --- THIS IS YOUR PARAMS!
MSDN says...
lpParameters:
Address of a null-terminated string that contains the application parameters. The parameters must be separated by spaces. If the lpFile member specifies a document file, lpParameters should be NULL.
So, using this code with
ShExecInfo.lpFile = "c:\\jpegtran.exe";
ShExecInfo.lpParameters = "-greyscale JPEG.jpg greyscale.jpg"; // --- THIS IS YOUR PARAMS!
will run the program just like:
command = "jpegtran -greyscale JPEG.jpg greyscale.jpg";
system(command);
(except by using SW_HIDE it won't show the DOS window)
Hope that helps!!

Hi shultas
Thank you so much for your help. But i still got a small problem to trouble u again. Hope u dont mind. Cause after inserting what you had given to me, I got this error on the <shellexecuteinfo shexecinfo="{0};"> line. This is because the shellexecute is carried out in a few case function and i think this is why it give me these errors. Hence, is it possible for u to guide me for the one last time to solve this problem. Below is the portion of my program tat I insert the codes. Thank you so much for you help. Really appreciated.
switch(*selection)
{
case'1':
//AfxMessageBox(_T("Executing Case 1"));
SHELLEXECUTEINFO ShExecInfo = {0};
ShExecInfo.cbSize = sizeof(SHELLEXECUTEINFO);
ShExecInfo.fMask = SEE_MASK_NOCLOSEPROCESS;
ShExecInfo.hwnd = NULL;
ShExecInfo.lpVerb = NULL;
ShExecInfo.lpFile = "c:\\jpegtran.exe";
ShExecInfo.lpParameters = "-greyscale JPEG.jpg greyscale.jpg"; // --- THIS IS YOUR PARAMS!
ShExecInfo.lpDirectory = NULL;
ShExecInfo.nShow = SW_HIDE;
ShExecInfo.hInstApp = NULL;
ShellExecuteEx(&ShExecInfo);
WaitForSingleObject(ShExecInfo.hProcess,INFINITE);
//AfxMessageBox(_T("Opening greyscale images"));
imageFile2.Open( _T("C:\\FYP Test Folder\\best.jpg"), CFile::modeRead|CFile::typeBinary);
imageFile2.Read(image1, size.uintVal);
imageFile2.Close();
//AfxMessageBox(_T("Sending greyscale images"));
send(clientsock, (const char*) image1, size.uintVal, 0);
break;
The error message
error C2360: initialization of 'ShExecInfo' is skipped by 'case' label

Hello Danny
I see your problem is in your case statement. Here's an article that explains pretty good what you are experiencing. Click here for article.
One way you can quickly get rid of this problem is by enclosing each of your case statements in brackets {}. case '1': { ... } case '2': { ... }
Check out that article above and let me know if you need any more help or if you got it to work

Hi Shultas
Sorry to bother you again. As the advise you gave to me work perfectly but what if i need to execute 2 different .exe in the dos prompt? What parameters do i need to insert to the shell to do it? Thank you once again. Really sorry to trouble you again.
SHELLEXECUTEINFO ShExecInfo = {0};
ShExecInfo.cbSize = sizeof(SHELLEXECUTEINFO);
ShExecInfo.fMask = SEE_MASK_NOCLOSEPROCESS;
ShExecInfo.hwnd = NULL;
ShExecInfo.lpVerb = NULL;
ShExecInfo.lpFile = "c:\\djpeg.exe";
ShExecInfo.lpParameters = "JPEG.jpg jpeg.ppm"; // --- THIS IS YOUR PARAMS!
ShExecInfo.lpFile = "c:\\cjpeg.exe";
ShExecInfo.lpParameters = "-smooth 50 jpeg.ppm average.jpg"; // --- This is the second program needed to execute.
ShExecInfo.lpDirectory = NULL;
ShExecInfo.nShow = SW_HIDE;
ShExecInfo.hInstApp = NULL;
ShellExecuteEx(&ShExecInfo);
WaitForSingleObject(ShExecInfo.hProcess,INFINITE);

Hi Danny.
That's an easy add-on!
SHELLEXECUTEINFO ShExecInfo = {0};
ShExecInfo.cbSize = sizeof(SHELLEXECUTEINFO);
ShExecInfo.fMask = SEE_MASK_NOCLOSEPROCESS;
ShExecInfo.hwnd = NULL;
ShExecInfo.lpVerb = NULL;
ShExecInfo.lpFile = "c:\\djpeg.exe";
ShExecInfo.lpParameters = "JPEG.jpg jpeg.ppm"; // --- THIS IS YOUR PARAMS!
// ShExecInfo.lpFile = "c:\\cjpeg.exe";
// ShExecInfo.lpParameters = "-smooth 50 jpeg.ppm average.jpg"; // --- This is the second
// program needed to execute.
ShExecInfo.lpDirectory = NULL;
ShExecInfo.nShow = SW_HIDE;
ShExecInfo.hInstApp = NULL;
ShellExecuteEx(&ShExecInfo);
WaitForSingleObject(ShExecInfo.hProcess,INFINITE);
Lets do one at a time. So, we've got the first program to excute. Right after the WaitForSingleObject() line, put your second EXE in there. Such as this:
SHELLEXECUTEINFO ShExecInfo = {0};
ShExecInfo.cbSize = sizeof(SHELLEXECUTEINFO);
ShExecInfo.fMask = SEE_MASK_NOCLOSEPROCESS;
ShExecInfo.hwnd = NULL;
ShExecInfo.lpVerb = NULL;
ShExecInfo.lpFile = "c:\\djpeg.exe";
ShExecInfo.lpParameters = "JPEG.jpg jpeg.ppm"; // --- THIS IS YOUR PARAMS!
ShExecInfo.lpDirectory = NULL;
ShExecInfo.nShow = SW_HIDE;
ShExecInfo.hInstApp = NULL;
ShellExecuteEx(&ShExecInfo);
WaitForSingleObject(ShExecInfo.hProcess,INFINITE);
// When first .EXE is done running, we'll get here. Now, we've already got most of the data
// that we need, lets just make a modification to it real quick.
ShExecInfo.lpFile = "c:\\cjpeg.exe";
ShExecInfo.lpParameters = "-smooth 50 jpeg.ppm average.jpg"; // --- This is the second
ShellExecuteEx(&ShExecInfo);
WaitForSingleObject(ShExecInfo.hProcess,INFINITE);
Bingo. Simple as that. Add those four extra lines in there. Your program will now call djpeg.exe first. Then, once that is done running, it'll call cjpeg.exe to do the rest of the work!!!!
That shall help you out!

My server application (database intensive) takes large memory.
1. I wanna confirm whether my application allocated the memory, or is the database driver is taking the memory.
2. in "TaskManager.exe" counters are as follows:
a: Memory Usage: 18,000 K
b: Virtual Memory: 10,000 K
So why is this big difference, which counter reflects the memory allocated by my code (a or b)??
Is the extra memory showed in Memory Usage counter was allocated by database driver and would be deallocated by the same driver in the end..?

See if this article helps.

if the memory usage is only 18,000K I would not worry about it my db application takes 20 times that... Most people have at least 256 mb or more memory so this is not very signifigant... On my computer gator (password helper for ie) uses 33,000 K...
