Are you allocating any memory in these while loops ???
You need to check ur system performance.
Is there any considerable amount of harddisk space left ?

Thanx for your answer.
I do call a procedure in the last while statement wich is using pointers. So I'm afraid I do not delete these pointers properly.
While I check the system performance I can see that I use more and more virtual memory. It stops at about 2.1GB (all used) and then fills the RAM. Thereafter the program crashes.
I do have about 100GB frre space on the hard drive.
I talked to a friend and he proposed that I should use case statements instead. What would be the differense?

I think... the you should delete your pointers properly!

Properly or not, are you deleting them at all? Remember that every new must have a matching delete.

Instead of what? The switch/case statement is synonymous with the if/else statement.

Sorry, I meant do/until.
I do delete all pointers as far as I can see.
Is there an easy way to debug the program and see if there is a memory leak?

if you use MFC you can just run your app for a short
time with the Debuger attached, then exit it
and in the debug-output-window you should see
your mem leaks

Thanx

Even if you aren't using MFC, you can still debug memory leaks with functions like:
_CrtMemCheckpoint()
_CrtMemDifference()
_CrtMemDumpStatistics()

Hi I have the following problem:
I have an executable that loads dlls (MFC extension dll´s).
All the dll´s are based on a parent class with various functions. To name a few
BOOL mfb_open_database (LPCTSTR);
CString mfx_get_module_name();
CString mfx_get_item_text (LPVOID);
The functions are called from the main application using a pointer to the dll class..
x_txt = px_dll->mfx_get_item_text((LPVOID)something);
The functions in the dll´s are all with AFX_MANAGE_STATE(..) because I´m loading things from the (DLL´s) resources
The funny thing is only the mfx_get_module_name() does not work, all the others do.
Tracing through this (I have added the debug symbols to the release mode of a dll and the exe)
It comes about when the constructors for the CString objects are called. As far as I can tell, the DLL creates a CString object to be returned. Instead of a "Deep" copy, only the reference of it´s m_pchData is copied to the CString Object in the exe, and when the destructor for the CString Object in the exe is called, the MFC crashes and says that the Object that is to be destroyed is not in the "correct" heap. I have tried adding
::LockBuffer() to the CString object that is created in the DLL as the returned object but to no avail.
I have checked all the project settings etc. and can´t find anything wrong.
This function worked perfectly well up until yesterday, until my devstudio crashed a few times. I´ve checked all the settings in Project setings but can´t find anything un toward. Has anybody any idea´s I´m at my wits end....
Thanks in advance
Phil
bum... and I thought I´d got rid of all the bugs 
|
|
|
|
|
are the dlls AND the app the same build type??
Release or Debug? I spent some days on a realy anoying bug. My App was Release Build and the DLL
was Debugbuild and it crashes all the time!!
solution-> use the same build type.
|
|
|
|
|
Yes, same build type. The really stupid thing is, that before the DevStudio crash everything worked fine 
bum... and I thought I´d got rid of all the bugs
|
|
|
|
|
sure?
I also thought all the time, my DLLs and the
App are the same build, BUT somewhere deep was a silly path to the wrong directory with the wrong DLLs.
don't know other reason.. sory.
|
|
|
|
|
Yes I´ve checked.. I´ll have another look at the settings in a text editor, but in the IDE everything seems to be ok. And thanks for helping...

I have finally found the problem. In one of my base classes I have over written the OnDraw() and OnEraseBkgnd() to draw a custom background. Instead of using the MFC message entry macro,
ON_WM_ERASEBKGND(), ON_WM_PAINT(),
I used the API one: ON_MESSAGE(WM_PAINT, ...) etc.
This all worked fine in debug mode, but crashed in release.
Now everything works fine

Hello there,
Once a dll is loaded into the address-space of an application is there a delay in the execution of code from the DLL itself? I mean is code from the DLL executed slower then when that same code would have been compiled in the application itself?
Regards
|
|
|
|
|
Calls within the dll itself will be same as calls within the exe only.
But may be the calls between the exe and the dll could be slow coz the calls go through the CALL Gates i.e far calls.

There will be no noticeable difference, and certainly not anything worth bothering about. The kernel is a DLL after all!

Hi guys,
This is my first post so excuse the low level of expertise, I've only been playing with DirectDraw for just over a week.
Anyway, the thing I want to do is read several bitmap files from a directory and display them consecutivley (like a movie). I've been searching the internet for useful files and have been using several tutorials and code snippets to get the job done. I basically started with this project (http://www.codeproject.com/directx/basicdd.asp) and edited from there. I got the bitmaps to play full screen and then made the transition to windowed mode. I followed the tutorials and everything actually works, the only thing is that I get garbage on my screen! I get a pinkinsh/whiteish mix of a distorted plain and everey now and then I can seet he bitmap which is loaded flicker on the screen but only for an extremely short time. I'm wondering if anyone can spot my mistake, here's my source:

I need to create a modeless dialog but when I use Create() the dialog quickly appears and disappears.
As an expirement I tried cerating a quick dialog-based app using the C++ wizard and created a button that brings up the about box (as created by the wizard) without using DoModal.
Does anyone know how to do this please? It's quite frustrating.

If you could post the code how you are creating the modeless dialog box may be that would pin point the prob.
any ways here how i would create the modeless dialog.
CMydialog *pDialog;
pDialog = new CMydialog;
pDialog->Create(CMyDialog::IDD);
pDialog->ShowWindow(SW_SHOW);

Your code works fine. It was exactly the same as mine only you used a pointer to a dialog and I used an instance directly. Doesn't really make much sense to me but as long as it works, I'm happy right now 
Thanks for your help.
|
|
|
|

But do remember that the dialog object is created using new so there should be a corresponding delete as well.
usally the modeless dialogs are self deleteing,
you put
delete this
in OnDestroy event.
