Hello All,
A little question about memory allocation. Yes, nos and look heres greatly accepted...
I'm not sure how to word the question so I'll say what I want to do:
I want to, from one program, allocate a block of memory noting its memory address/pointer. When this program finished I do not want to free up this memory location but rather be able to access it from a second program and be guarenteed of what I'll find there. Basically I want to be able to take this address and, in a completly seperate program, access this memory and then deacllocate/free it up.
Is this possible?
Thanks...

You can used shared memory, though the second program would have to start and open the shared memory before the first exited.

Hi,
Have a look at "memory mapped files"; these are files mapped into memory, or memory blocks mapped to an actual file, depending how you look at it.

This is not an option. It is freed or marked as free by the OS.
And could possibly be immediately used by another program and the earlier contents erased.
You should use persistent storage. Files, Registry ...

We have something similar at work. Yes you can do it. But you should host an all-time "memory-server". It's a complex thing. You'll have to do quite a lot of marshalings. A new process *Cannot* just starting using memory from another application. I've used those "memory-serving" services but don't know the implementation details. But the abstract idea resembles DCOM.

I like to keep as much as possible in RAM for fast read/write operations... my two suggestions:
Option 1
you could create a RAM Drive, then just save to a file. The two program share the data by accessing the same file in turn.
Option 2
You could also create a third program (that is started before the first program, and ends after the 2nd program) that sets up a shared file with CreateFileMapping():
char * pMyFilePointer = NULL;
HANDLE hMyFileHandle = CreateFileMapping((HANDLE)-1,
NULL,
PAGE_READWRITE,
0,
10,
"MySharedFile");
if (hMyFileHandle != NULL)
{
pMyFilePointer = (char *) MapViewOfFile(hMyFileHandle, FILE_MAP_WRITE, 0, 0, 10);
if (pMyFilePointer != NULL)
{
printf("file mapped to %p",pMyFilePointer);
*(pMyFilePointer+0) = (unsigned char)0;
*(pMyFilePointer+1) = (unsigned char)0xbb;
Then, your other two programs open the file with:
HANDLE hMyFileHandle;
char * pMyFilePointer;
hMyFileHandle = OpenFileMapping(FILE_MAP_WRITE, TRUE, "MySharedFile");
if (hMyFileHandle != NULL)
{
pMyFilePointer = (char *) MapViewOfFile(hMyFileHandle,FILE_MAP_WRITE, 0, 0, 10);
*pMyFilePointer = (unsigned char)0xAA;
}

1. How did the make file compile and link the gdc_samp1.c file ?
Really appreciated if anyone could have some answers ...I am a BIG NOOB in linkers...
Thanks,

It follows the rules from all -> gdc_samp1 -> gdc_samp1.o -> gdc_samp1.c.
Just follow target dependencies to their associated targets, then follow those dependencies to their targets, until you get dependencies which have no corresponding target, at which point, either a) the file must exist, or b) there must be an implicit rule that knows how to make that file from some other file. Quite simple really.
Here's a useful intro to Makefiles[^].

Your question has little to do with linkers.
Make files follow a fairly simple syntax:
build_target1: dependency1.o dependency2.o build_target2 ....etc.
commands to build the build target
build_target2:
command(s) needed to build this build target.
So, looking at your make file:
# compile the samples
gdc_samp1: gdc.o gdchart.o price_conv.o gdc_samp1.o $(GD_LIB)/libgd.a
$(CC) -o gdc_samp1 gdc.o gdchart.o price_conv.o gdc_samp1.o -L$(GD_LIB) -lgd -lm
The build target "gdc_samp1:" is what defines all that is needed to make the gdc_samp1. So, make converts the line:
$(CC) -o gdc_samp1 gdc.o gdchart.o price_conv.o gdc_samp1.o -L$(GD_LIB) -lgd -lm
to:
gcc -o gdc_samp1 gdc.o gdchart.o price_conv.o gdc_samp1.o -L$(GD_LIB) -lgd -lm

Hope this helps

I am currently developing an application using C++ and MFC. I am thinking about buying a copy of DevPartner Studio to run as part of my development efforts. This product claims to catch memory leaks and other errors related to memory. I have a 14 day trial license of the product and I am undecided on whether or not to buy. I am also wondering, how reliable the product is.
If you are a fan of DevPartner Studio, I would like to hear from you.
Thanks
Bob

I've used it, had a license at one point - but the last time I looked, it's got insanely expensive.
Add to that the fact that the last time I got an evaluation license, I found a crashing bug (which I reported and was acknowledged) doing what seemed like quite straight forward things and I was less than impressed.
Howver - there don't seem to be that many options in that space.

It's very expensive, but I like it a lot. It's one of those tools that when you need it, you really need it and nothing else I've tried works nearly as well. It has it's quirks and CompuWare seems to go in phases as to how much it pays attention to the product, but I've found it to be fairly reliable and the big changes they made in (I think 8) were great.

Hello guys, i'm a c++ beginner
i'm trying to move or copy a text file into another binary file through this code but it doesn't work ;
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
const static int BUF_SIZE = 4096;
using std::ios_base;
int main(int argc, char** argv) {
std::ifstream in ( ("C:\\forTest.txt"), ios_base::in | ios_base::binary);
std::ofstream out ( ("C:\\Test.bin"), ios_base::out | ios_base::binary);
char buf[BUF_SIZE];
do {
in.read(&buf[0], BUF_SIZE);
out.write(&buf[0], in.gcount());
} while (in.gcount() > 0);
in.close();
out.close();
}
Then i want to know how to get the file information like, size, last modification...etc
Thanks in advance

In your last thread on CodeProject people stopped helping you. My guess is because you seem to want people to give you solutions rather than help you understand things yourself. That's not normally a popular thing around here.
My advice to all beginners is learn how to read reference material. The following link to a C++ reference is not using the Standard Template Library but does show one way to get the length of a file. Reference documentation for the STL does exist. I strongly urge you to learn to find/read and understand references to learn C++ from rather than posting messages in internet forums.

Hmm, Don't see any thing so bad in the code. But you can use just "buf" instead of &buf[0]. Also, I prefer this way
while(!in.eof())
{
in.read(buf, BUF_SIZE);
out.write(buf, in.gcount());
}

What do you mean exactly ? Do you want to append it to an existing binary file (at the end, start, ...), create a new file with the exact same content as your text file, ... ?
moody123 wrote: but it doesn't work ;
Same question. What do you mean exactly by doesn't work ? What were you expecting and what did you get ?
Please be specific.

simply all what i wanted is copy a file into an other binary file!!!
and i've tried to replace &buf[0] with buf just as (VuNic) said, and it worked!!!
then about what (led mike) has said; the problem is that i've a deadline to do this and the course which related to doing this programe it's not about programming!! it's about data security!!!
so don't think that i'm just posting a thread to hear comments like yours!! of course you didn't try to work under pressure, deadline, and without any c++ background!!!
David i'll have a look on that.

Hello, everyone
Recently I use g++ to compile cpp files with a -static paramter, and I got an compiler error as below:
/homes/judge/source/31.cpp:7:2: warning: no newline at end of file
ld: fatal: library -lm: not found
ld: fatal: library -lc: not found
ld: fatal: library -lc: not found
ld: fatal: File processing errors. No output written to /homes/judge/exe/4090

I guess may be it happened by problem of system environment, the /etc/profile list out here:

Any suggestion for this problem? Thanks in advance!
