dear all

how to solve this problem: i initialize xx[10][3][4] = (double)rand()/RAND_MAX; in main function,
and define this function, when i call this function, why it has problem?

void Centroids::createPosition(double x[10][3][4])
{

cout <<endl<<The following is positions of 10 particles ! "<<endl<<endl;

for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
{
cout <<endl<<" "<<"Position of particle :"<<endl;

for (int j = 0; j< 3; j++)
{
for (int k = 0; k < 4; k++)

cout<< " "<<x[i][j][0]<<" "<<x[i][j][1]<<" "<<x[i][j][2]<<" "<<x[i][j][3]<<endl;

}
}
}
coulndn't display correctly..thanks

You are using k to iterate, but there is no k in the [].

Multiple Application Serialization

Hi, I'm currently learning MFC, and I have a question about serialization.
If I have an application, and I use it to serialize a file, can I use a second application to open the same file (of course, both applications having the same attributes in their documents)? Every time I try to call the Serialize method of a CTypedPtrList with the corresponding CArchive I get an "Unexpected File Format" error. Both applications are using the same DLLs, which contain the polymorphic classes being used in the list. I am using Visual Studio 2008.

Thanks.

AFAIK, yes

I think you have to proceed with little steps, for instance.
(1) Make sure that both applications use the same version number inside IMPLEMENT_SERIAL macro.
(2) Make sure the application that created file is able itself to load it.
(3) Try to store and load very simple files first.
(4) ...

ReadDirectoryChangesW vs FindFirstFile (on file server hosting mac file system)

Peter Weyzen29-Jan-08 12:58

Peter Weyzen

29-Jan-08 12:58

I have a case where a file path reported by ReadDirectoryChangesW is different from the correct path...

The case is a file server -- where a mac file system is hosted on an ntfs volume. The mac file system seems to have some extra stuff.

When I access the files locally (from the file server), I run into some problems:

Here's a very long filename reported from the system file change via ReadDirectoryChangesW()

C:\dev\macbug1\.BAHC3Kq7\This is the Mac folder\In this folder I will store some mac image files\this is just a folder with a long filename  - In this folder I will store some mac image files\another In this folder I will store some mac image files\This folder contains some pictures of the new cooooooool  macboc air\overview_bigair_one20080115.png

This very long path contains a folder which doesn't seem to actually be there... .BAHC3Kq7\

If I use FindFirstFile I can correctly find the files and folders as they seem to be there.
But this contradicting path from the changes API is causing me problems.

Any thoughts out there?

Are there any good references on the insides of how a mac file system is stored on NTFS?

Thanks in advance -- this is such an esoteric question, I won't hold my breath waiting for an answer.
But it's always good to ask!

Remote change notifications are not reliable on remote filesystems, especially when the remote filesystem is hosted on a non-Windows platform. The path is also longer than _MAX_PATH, so you would not be able to access the path using the normal (ANSI) APIs - you would have to use the Unicode version of the APIs.

Peace!

Peter Weyzen30-Jan-08 7:56

I don't have an issue with MAX_PATH, I am using unicode API's with the funky \\?\ prefix. (everyone should use unicode!)

The filesystem isn't remote though. My software is running locally on the same machine where the file system is stored. It's just that the folder structure is created by a mac which is connected to my machine remotely. But, to my software, the file system is local.

If I scan the folders using FindFirstFile I don't get the artifact. The file paths coming back from ReadDirectoryChangesW include it.

I cannot use any sort of GetShortFileName(), GetLongFileName() function -- because in the case of a "delete file" notification, these functions don't work. I need a more systemic answer -- one which operates on the path not on the file -- to deal with this.

I guess, I am going to have to implement a periodic scan to make sure that I have accurate information. But mostly, I am trying to figure out what that mysterious artifact is, in the path that I get back from ReadDirectoryChangesW().

Which process opened a file?

Hi all,

could you give me a little hint how to get a name of process which opened file?

example:
I have a file C:\temp\test.txt - I need to know which process opened this file.

Thanks.

You can use NtQuerySystemInformation() and pass 'SystemHandleInformation' as the SYSTEM_INFORMATION_CLASS. You will need to iterate through the returned buffer and locate the handle and match it with the process ID.

Concerning drivers...

Hello!

I have a few questions concerning drivers. I don't know if this is the right board to post this kind of problems but here they are:

1. I want to create a keyboard filter driver. Is there any method that can ensure no other filter driver (keylogger) will attach to the keyboard driver (between the keyboard driver and my filter driver) ?

2. I want to create another filter driver that will be installed nearest to a specified application (so that no other filter driver can get between this filter driver and the application). If this is possible, could anyone help me with a few links to documentation involving this kind of issues?

3. Is there any API which I can use to check whether a driver is digitally signed?

Thanks in advance!

The only thing I can think of is modifying the EAT of ntoskrnl and hooking IoCreateDevice. You would need to block devices of type FILE_DEVICE_KEYBOARD from being created. Perhaps the same could be accomplished later by hooking IoAttachDeviceToDeviceStack.

Your ring-3 application will need to communicate with the keyboard filter driver through an IOCTL dispatch interface. You could obfuscate or encrypt communication with the driver, and/or from within the driver you should verify the sender by checksum of its PE image or whatever clever scheme you can think of.

Perhaps you should read some Microsoft documentation about kernel driver signing.

At the second question I forgot to mention that the application I want to communicate with is not created by me. So it's impossible for me to modify it. I'm searching for a solution involving the modification of the driver only...

You could try removing the o from strcopy() Smile | :)

"Undefined" warnings mean what they say - the compiler doesn't know
how the symbol is defined.

Check the documentation for each undefined function and make sure you're
#including the header file containing the definition.
