You may embed a scripting language in your application, like (the excellent) Lua. Then, users can formulate the decoding rules by implementing functions (or simple data structures) using the hosted language.

I am not sure how experienced you are in C++ but one thing you will find is that the address operator (&) does not work with bits of a byte. This will be a very important factor since you are configuring which bits to peel apart.
One thing I have done to help with this is I made functions to unpack the bits of a byte into an array of bytes and to also do the converse - pack the LSB of an array of bytes into one byte. Here is what the unpacker looks like :
void BitUnpack( uchar byteArray[], uchar bits )
{
for( uint n = 0; n < 8; ++n )
{
uchar mask = 1 << n;
byteArray[n] = ( bits & mask ) ? 1 : 0;
}
}
This will give you an array of bytes where each one corresponds to the value of the bit at that location. This means that byteArray[2] will be 1 if the 3rd bit is set and it will be 0 if not. If you unpack all of the bits of your message into array of bytes it will be easy to then repack, say, bits 3-7 into one value and so on.
Note that the function above unpacks just one byte. If you call this repeatedly you can unpack all of the bytes you receive into arrays for processing later. BTW - you may want to tweak the packer function to have it pack arbitrary numbers of bits to make things easier for you later. Here's the packer I use :
void BitPack( uchar byteValue, uchar byteArray[] )
{
for( uint n = 0; n < 8; ++n )
{
if( byteArray[n] )
{
uchar mask = 1 << n;
byteValue |= mask;
}
}
}
If you always work exclusively with 16-bit values then change the uchars to ushorts and the 8s to 16s and you should be ready to go. I should mention that I define the uchar, ushort, uint, and ulong types for myself but you don't have to use those since VC++ already defines the capitalized versions of these types.
What this all comes down to is sorting out the bits and then reassembling them later. I hope these functions give you some ideas on how to approach this.

I doubt it. Those two functions were first written more than twenty years ago.

Dont' be ashamed to be a precursor C++ improved a lot from this time, and is improving again with C++0x.

Hi Andrea,
Have a look at std::valarray<bool>[^] and the associated std::slice[^].
Not much more out there to help you.

Why not?

Did you first call the CanUpdate() method to see if the recordset can be updated?
Also, are you attempting to catch any exceptions (e.g., CDBException)?

Hi,
My intention is to find the best possible method for my requirement. Please share your ideas.
Requirement:
I need to create a dialog bar (I think so) in which I have to place controls (including some custom controls) dynamically. The controls can be placed in one row or more according to a dynamic setting. If there is not enough space to hold all the controls, a drop down button should be there at the right side of the dialog bar. When that button is pressed, the remaining controls should be listed as a popup. The dialog bar need to be dock-able too.
My plan:
Searching for direct support in MFC/Win32. If there is no such support, I am planning to create a custom dialog bar (or derive from CDialogBar) and implement the rest.
Thank you.

Sounds like the ordinary toolbar control would help you there. You can replace buttons with custom controls, and add chevron style for the items that doesn't fit. There are plenty of articles here on CP for that.

Thank you for the reply. Now, I think it is better if we dynamically manage dialog bar controls than going for chevron feature. Also chevron is from rebar control, which does not support docking.

Hi!
When I run my project, the application crashes and exception pointer goes to a file called crtexe.c. This is my Call Stack.
65720000()
druidsTech.dll!1009f009()
[Frames below may be incorrect and/or missing, no symbols loaded for druidsTech.dll]
druidsTech.dll!1009f9f1()
> TreasureHunter.exe!mainCRTStartup() Line 403 C
kernel32.dll!761fd0e9()
ntdll.dll!76df19bb()
ntdll.dll!76df198e()
Any of the file names in the call stack is not defined by me. How to solve this crash?

Use your debugger to locate the problem in your code. Put breakpoints just before the crash occurs and checks if all the variables are correctly set.

You have one out of three (?) possible problems.
1. You have called an API with illegal parameters.
2. You have corrupted memory which can affect any part of your program.
3. The third party code is causing the problem.
For 1 and 2, use the debugger. For number 3, check if there is a software fix/update.

|

For starters it would be nice if you had more symbolic information (to avoid getting frames in the callstack like this: druidsTech.dll!1009f009). Have you got symbols for these files?

druidsTech.dll!1009f009()
[Frames below may be incorrect and/or missing, no symbols loaded for druidsTech.dll]
druidsTech.dll!1009f9f1()
It shows that No Symbols [PDB files] Loaded for the dll DruidsTech.dll. If you have all the required PDB files you are call stack is informative.
TreasureHunter.exe!mainCRTStartup()
TreasureHunter is the Binary Unit, mainCRTStartup is call. So, you do have pdb information for TreasureHunter.exe.
The answer is get the PDB files for the Binaries to get more information on call stack/

Hi, ive searched this forum and google and found many tutorials and dll injector sources but i want to modifie injector to reinject everytime when a specified process reloads itself and changes hes process id.
I tryed for checking the process id like this
if(Pid==Pid)
{
hModule = OpenProcess( PROCESS_ALL_ACCESS, true, Pid );
InjectDll(hModule, DLL_Name);
return 0;
}
But it alwyas crashes the injector ....
|
|
|
|
|
Put some error checking and see if OpenProcess is succeeding.
If not, call GetLastError to get more information on the error.
|
|
|
|
|
well everything works fine i mean the dll injector works fine if i inject the dll only once but if i use if statement to check if pid == pid it will crash injector ... mybe im checking wrongly if the process is running ...
