TCHAR is always the best choice as it make your application Unicode-aware.
It is just a typedef that translate to char when _UNICODE is not defined and to WCHAR otherwise.
To use the TCHAR datatype you should include the tchar.h header.

"It is not wise to throw exception" - Really? It's strange because the C++ standard say the opposite, and the exception handling is considered an important and required feature of modern object-oriented programming languages.

Obviously, if you are writing software for an embedded platform, with limited resources or with very strict constraints about performances, you could be right (but probably you won't use C++, but plain C instead).

Generally speaking, the little overhead of the exception handling is not perceptible and doesn't affect the application performances; then using exceptions give you the chance to write code which is easier to write, to maintain and that others could better understand.

I updated my answer to make clear how the scalar and vectorial products are used in the angle evaluation. I hope it's understandable now :-)

Sauro Viti 1-Dec-10 7:35am View

atan2 is not the inverse tan(theta); its signature is atan2(y, x) and it gives the angle (in radians) whose sin is y and whose cosine is x (it works properly also if both x and y are scaled by the same constant).

I'm sorry, but be aware that MFC is a quite huge and intrusive framework: to get a statically linked executable of 1.60 MB is not a bad result... If you really need a very small footprint you should consider using a different approach. You could try the WTL (Windows Template Library): its based on ATL and share a quantity of classes with MFC (like CString, CList, CMap, etc.).
Porting your application to WTL could require a while, but the result in terms of size will be great.

Well! Probably you have a worker thread that does some kind of work while your window is shown: from that thread you can post a user-message to your window and on the message handler of the window call EndDialog.
Another, very unelegant, option is to set up a timer in your window and periodically test for your conditions: if the conditions are satisfied call the EndModal.
If you don't need the value returned by DoModal, simply ignore it (anyway you should specify something when calling EndDialog, for instance IDOK).

Be aware that if you use a shared section on a DLL, all the clients of the DLL will share that section as long as the library doesn't get relocated while loaded. In other words, if your service loads the DLL at address x and another of your app loads the library at address y, the two applications will really share the data only if x == y.

Toolbars doesn't use icons: they use an image-list (see CImageList on the MSDN for more informations) which are based on a single bitmap that holds multiple images indexed starting from zero (for example you can create an image-list attaching a bitmap which is 64x16 pixel and holds 4 images 16x16 pixel each one)

What are you proposing for 8 to 32 bit conversion doesn't work: if the 8 bit image is a grayscale one, you have to set for each pixel the alpha channel to 255 and red = green = blue = the value of the byte on the source. If the 8 bit image is a colour image with palette, you have to lookup each value in the palette to get the correspondant RGB values.

1) Data_Of_Thread_1 is a pointer to a struct named data_files, then is not the right type to be passed to ExitProcess: you can write "ExitProcess(0);" and it will work, but you cannot write "ExitProcess(Data_Of_Thread_1);" because the compiler give you an error.
2) If you call ExitProcess from within your threads (1 and 2), when the first of the two end its task, the entire application is terminated

Sauro Viti 26-Oct-10 7:53am View

ExitProcess wants a DWORD with the exit code that should be returned by the application. You don't have to call it from your worker thread, as it terminates the whole application.

1) The getch() function is deprecated; use the _getch() instead
2) Look at the documentation of _getch() at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/078sfkak(VS.80).aspx
It says: "When reading a function key or an arrow key, each function must be called twice; the first call returns 0 or 0xE0, and the second call returns the actual key code."

Now, try this:

printf("Press F1 key to continue.\n");

int c = _getch();

The web site you are working on is realized using plain HTML? From what you are saying, I suspect that there is an embedded object in the web page, for instance a flash player application, and that such object do the job programmatically (for instance getting the informations to show from a database connection).
Try this: open the web page on your browser and save it to your HDD as HTML file (you get too a folder with all the objects embedded in the page). Then open the HTML file with notepad and have a look for its structure.

PPPS: Today optimizing compilers are able to produce a so deeply optimized code, that is very hard to do better by hand. Then, in the most of cases, is too much better to forget the __asm keyword, write everything in C/C++, and let the compiler do the job!

Sauro Viti 7-Oct-10 4:59am View

From your posts, I suspect that there could be a little misunderstanding: the Visual C++ could target both native and .NET environments. Which one are you interested in?
If you use C++/CLI (i.e. the .NET version), any library built for C# is also good for it: you only have to add a reference to the assembly in your project to use the library (with a syntax just a bit different from C#).
If you are using MFC (then in a native environment), you need a native version of the library, and how to include and use it in your project is quite different than the C# and C++/CLI way.

In MMX intrinsics I don't know about operations that involve a vector and a scalar, then I think you have to initialize three__m64 variables for the Adjust, _f and _scale and initialize them with the right values (i.e. with all the 4 fields equals to your current scalar value)

Sauro Viti 30-Sep-10 7:49am View

I think you have to implement:

The CloseHandle function wants as parameter just one handle, the one that you want to close. If you don't close the handles, the created threads remain allocated also after their termination, and you risk resource and memory allocation problems (the number of thread a process can create is limited by the available virtual memory). Then you can write something like this inside your while loop:

HANDLE hThread = CreateThread(NULL, 0, functionAddress, parameters, 0, NULL);
if (hThread != NULL) CloseHandle(hThread);
else { /* Thread creation error! */ }

This is something commonly used in COM programming, where methods return an HRESULT to report about failed/succeeded, and the "real" output of calls are obtained through parameters passed by address, like this:

However, I think that generally speaking, this is an unelegant solution and it's better to return a struct or class...

On Visual Studio the pre-build step is executed before than compiling and linking steps, then you have to put the command for executing your script in the pre-build step command line.

Your solution works as long as the method has not been declared as virtual.

You can also keep trace of the checked-unchecked status using a BOOL variable and toggling it each time the handler is called, but this is a very bad solution (for instance if you change the check-box status programmatically the handler is not called and you have to treat this case separately).

To translate byte values to their hexadecimal representation you can use sprintf(buffer, "%02X", value); the format string "%02X" mean: format in hex using two digits and fill with zero on the left (then if value = 0x01, inside buffer you obtain "01")

Yes, it is: if your DLL doesn't implement DllUnregisterServer then the only way to unregister it is to know all the entries in the Windows registry that you should manually remove (and it is a nightmare).
Since you have the source code, the best is to add the DllUnregisterServer to your library, compile it again and then call regsvr32 /r filename.dll

To do it you should compile your application with CLR; add the using statement is not enough. Search about using CLR and MFC together; however I think it's better if you use a lightweight regular expression library for C++, as the one that _Superman_ suggested you.

It is possible that the DLL you are using keep trace of allocated memory and free it on its DllMain when it is called with DLL_PROCESS_DETACH reason. However the standard behaviour of DLL on Windows is the one that Nishant already said.

The compiler automatically cast float values to double and then pushes two dwords in the stack: each float can be represented with a double and the cast overhead is about one CPU clock cycle in the worst case.

Console.WriteLine() is designed to write to the window of console applications. Try this: start a new project of type "Console application" and mix Console.WriteLine() and System.Diagnostic.Trace.WriteLine(). As result, the first will write to the console window (the one like Command prompt) and the second one write to the debugger output window.
Simply you are using that function in a way that is not the correct one, and you obtain unexpected/strange results.

You are using an anonimous delegate from which you call your function. You should try/catch the ThreadAbortException at the most external level, then you should do it inside your delegate, like this:

thrDownload = new Thread(new ThreadStart(
delegate
{
try
{
downloadFile(txtServerIP.Text, txtFileName.Text, txtUsername.Text, txtPassword.Text);
}
catch (ThreadAbortException ex)
{
MessageBox.Show("Download aborted");
}
}));

Let's say: if the most of your application is written using ANSI C/C++ and you need just a few number of functions that are platform dependant, you can define a function for each platform-dependant feature that you need, and in the implementation of the function use #ifdef to achieve the goal using API that are specific to each platform (#ifdef WIN32 for Windows and so on).
If your application is a GUI (windowed) one, then this is an hard job because you are using a lot of API specific to the operating system. However how many chances there are that while the application grow you don't need other stuffs that are platform specific? And again, on Linux you have mount points, not drive letters... You need to consider each aspect of your application in a cross-platform scenario before choosing a way to solve your problem.

Here's a tip for your next Tip/Trick: Don't post garbage that you get from some anonymous website

Sauro Viti 10-Jun-10 15:23pm View

I think that there is something wrong!Have a look to the page I posted about SetWindowsHookEx, on the Remarks section about LowLevelKeyboardProc callback, they says:

"This hook is called in the context of the thread that installed it. The call is made by sending a message to the thread that installed the hook. Therefore, the thread that installed the hook must have a message loop."

So, to work properly, the hook procedure must have been installed by a thread that handle a message loop, if your application is an MFC application the best place to put the call to SetWindowsHookEx is the constructor of your main window class. Note that worker threads and console applications do not have a message loop.

Just a style hint... why don't you write:

else if (pkbhs->vkCode == 'A') return 1;

instead than:

else if (pkbhs->vkCode == 41) return 1; // A

Sauro Viti 10-Jun-10 9:42am View

// This install the hook procedure (I suppose you are calling it from an MFC exe application)
hHook = SetWindowsHookEx(WH_KEYBOARD_LL, &LowLevelKeyboardProc, theApp.m_hInstance, 0);

// This is my hook procedure (it uses the KBDLLHOOKSTRUCT and it works properly...)
LRESULT CALLBACK LowLevelKeyboardProc(INT iCode, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)
{
if (iCode == HC_ACTION) {
KBDLLHOOKSTRUCT* pkbhs = (KBDLLHOOKSTRUCT *)lParam;
BOOL bCtrl = GetAsyncKeyState(VK_CONTROL) >> (8 * sizeof(SHORT) - 1);
BOOL bShift = GetAsyncKeyState(VK_SHIFT) >> (8 * sizeof(SHORT) - 1);

if (pkbhs->vkCode == VK_ESCAPE && pkbhs->flags & LLKHF_ALTDOWN) return 1;
else if (pkbhs->vkCode == VK_TAB && pkbhs->flags & LLKHF_ALTDOWN) return 1;
else if (pkbhs->vkCode == VK_ESCAPE && bCtrl) return 1;
else if (pkbhs->vkCode == VK_LWIN) return 1;
else if (pkbhs->vkCode == VK_RWIN) return 1;
else if (pkbhs->vkCode>=VK_BROWSER_BACK && pkbhs->vkCode<=VK_LAUNCH_APP2) return 1;
}

return CallNextHookEx(hHook, iCode, wParam, lParam);

There are 2 possible scenarios depending on whether or not you have the source code of the set_game_name function that you'd like to "wrap":

1) if you have the source code you can modify the set_game_name function to get a va_list as parameter (i.e. set_game_name(const char *format, va_list args), like vprintf) or you can copy its code inside the body of your class member
2) if you don't have the source code you need to use inline assembler (to do that you must be experienced about C/C++ calling conventions, stack frame layouts, assembler and so on)
