What is the diff between ?Foo@Class and ?FooA@Class in DLL export?

Hi everyone,

I have a DLL with some classes in it. Header file have dllexport feature on class.
This class has some methods, several of them are virtual.
So, the problem is that my test app looking for Foo method in DLL, but can't find it because in DLL it's defined as FooA, but not Foo.
Can somebody tell me what's wrong?
In this [post^] I describe situation in detailes with some code examples.

Thanks in advance,
va'Lery.

I'm not positive on this, but I believe the A specifies that the function is cdecl. I'd double-check the calling conventions.

Thanks for an idea.

I tried all three possible conventions, but result is still the same.
So that's not it.

I suspect that in the DLL, the function has the same name as a Windows function whose header you have included, while you haven't included the same header in the application.

Example: the Windows header WinBase.h defines the functions DeleteFileA and DeleteFileW. It also maps the name DeleteFile via a macro to DeleteFileA or DeleteFileW depending on whether the UNICODE symbol is defined. This allows you to switch between using the ANSI and Unicode versions of the functions simply by defining or undefining UNICODE.

Unfortunately the macro processor has no idea of scope and doesn't realise that you actually wanted to refer to a class member function rather than to refer to the Windows function, so it replaces your Foo with FooA.

Solutions: either rename the function, or #undef the macro. If you #undef the macro, consider using #pragma push_macro and #pragma pop_macro to store and retrieve the macro value (supported in VC 6.0, even though undocumented).

Using #undef in this way is a real hassle, though, so I'd simply rename the offending function.

The printer code "ESC E" for the Epson LX 1050+ enables emphasized printing.
When i use the WritePrinter Api i pass the printer code as '\x1b\x45' and it works fine.The next line gets printed in bold.The WritePrinter Api needs handle to printer device but i need to do the printing through the device context.So the only way to pass printer code is via Escape.But when i pass the string via "Escape" the printer doesn't see it as a command,it just sees it as some non-printable character.So,how do i give printer commands via escape.Please,can someone help me out?

I suspect that your buffer b does not contain the two bytes of value x1B and E. Try hardcoding the Escape call to pass "\x1BE" and a length of 2.

EX: cdc.Escape(PASSTHROUGH,2,"\x1BE",NULL);

onwards and upwards...

I tried this code.

EX: cdc.Escape(PASSTHROUGH,2,"\x1BE",NULL);

But i'm getting the following compile time error.

: error C2022: '446' : too big for character.

i tried this code in this manner also.

EX: cdc.Escape(PASSTHROUGH,2,"\x1B\x45",NULL);

now the complie time error gone but it's gives a "memory could not be read" run time error.

Hope you will be able to nail it down.

template class friend of another template class

Hi !

I'd like to know if it's possible to have a template class being friend of another template class to access it's private members.

For example, I'd like the class CTreeNode<T> to be friend of CTree<T>.

I tried several syntaxes :

friend class CTree;

friend class CTree<T>

but it didn't work and I cannot think of another syntax.

How can I do this ?

Thanks !
Jerome

if parameter T is the same in both case, typing that would be good :

<font style="color:blue">template class</font> CTree<<font style="color:blue">typename</font> T> {
    <font style="color:green">//private members...</font>
<font style="color:blue">public</font>:

    <font style="color:blue">friend class</font> CtreeNode<T>;

Right click menu and sending messages

hi all,

i'm ashamed to ask such questions, but i can't even figure it out how i can form a query to search for this on the web site or the internet...

1. i need to mimic standard menu items from user-defined ones... let me explain, MFC - standard MDI app (made by the wizard) has few standard menu items (File->Open... for example). Now i made a dilog, which has a button in it, and if the user clcks that button, the handler must act like it's a standard CDocument::OnOpenDocument(...) method. I know, I can construct CFileDialog myself, show it to the user and call CMyDoc::OnOpenDocument(string)... but this will defeat Doc-View approach... What can i do? Just send the message ID_FILE_OPEN... to what window than??

2. right button click and a popup menu appears. what's it name? where can read more about it?

thanks for your time!

It is called a "context menu". MSDN and CodeProject have information on them.

template magic - generic callbacks + return values

peterchen30-Jan-04 0:16

30-Jan-04 0:16

I'm trying to design some generic callbacks, which works well enough (using similar techniques to Andrescu's ScopeGuards[^]), except for the return value of the callback function.

for void, it#s simple:

struct CCallback { virtual void Call() = 0; }

template <class T>
struct CCallbackFunc_0 : public CCallback
{
   T func;
   CCallbackFunc_0(T func_) : func(func_) {}
   void Call() { func(); }
};

template <class T>
CCallback * CreateCallback(T func_)
{
  return new CCallbackFunc_0<T>(func_);
}

Now I figure I could have two separate branches, one templatized over the return type, but this makes a lot of code, and breaks the nice syntax for using CreateCallback.

Any ideas? Suggestions? Other approaches?

Have you tried using a template, specifying void as the return type? The compiler will spit out a warning (not an error) if a void function returns a value, which you can safely ignore.

I'd like to be able to receive the return value when I do the "Call" through the base class (hence the idea of templating the base class over return type)

I cant give you direct solution, but can give you pointers.

you need to know which proxy you are targeting,
HTTP 1/1 proxy, or sock, etc
mostly it is HTTP 1/1 proxy, so if you could refer the RFC for HTTP you will know how to do it.

Hi !

I'd like to try to write a very simple RSS reader, but...well, I have no idea where to start.
I've seen that I would need to read an XML file at a specific internet address and parse this XML file, but I'm wondering how other readers work : do I have to poll every x minutes the RSS feed and check for new informations or is there a way to get informed when new info is available ?

Thanks for your help !

He he. Welcome to the wonderful world of RSS. You've just found one of the many cans of worms that litter this particular landscape. RSS 2.0 has a way of notifying clients when things have changed but nobody bothers with it.

URGENT : Black Image???

29-Jan-04 20:16

I am trying to interface my C code converted from Matlab with OpenCV.
I tried to get OpenCV to display the image I got from the Matlab
converted C code, but I got a BLACK IMAGE.

- FG is of mxArray * type.
- Using mxGetPr(FG) is supposed to return me the pointer to first
element of FG.
- Then I tried to capture the data in FG in char_ptr.
- And pass in the data in char_ptr into oImage->imageData.
- But all I get is a black image.
- Below is my program:

Can anyone please tell me what is wrong? Sigh | :sigh:

/*assigning the ouput from Matlab converted code to FG*/
mlfAssign(&FG, mlfIndexRef(mclVv(class0, "class"), ".FG"));
int m = mxGetM( FG );
int n = mxGetN( FG );
double * double_ptr = 0;
char char_ptr[240][320];
int i, j, count = 0;

double_ptr = mxGetPr( FG );
for(j=0;j<n;j++){
for(i=0;i<m;i++){
char_ptr[i][j]=(char)(*(double_ptr+count));
}
count++;
}
oimage =="" cvcreateimage(="" cvsize(n,="" m="" ),="" ipl_depth_8u,="" 1="" );
oimage-="">imageData = *char_ptr;
cvSaveImage("outputFG.jpg", oImage);

Please help...

Hello,

The handle is a member of the CDialog object - m_hWnd.

I think this will be NULL until you have called the Create function on a modeless window.
