A debug stepping confirmed this (for a dialog based app, debug build) About speed - testing with RDTSC gave the following result when filling a 10'000 byte array: [modified](This seems odd when I read the response above. Perhaps this is just a debug mode thing)[/modified] memset: 2753 ticks ZeroMemory: 4255 ticks I might add that this was also a debug build. [modified]Yes, under Release no difference in the execution time could be measured.[/modified] /moliate Re: C - memory functions vs. Win32 memory functions Tim Smith21-May-02 1:48 Tim Smith 21-May-02 1:48  Performance testing under debug is pointless.

But it has always been my opinion to just go ahead and test in release mode. Then you don't have to guess if it might make a difference.

Re: C - memory functions vs. Win32 memory functions James R. Twine21-May-02 5:30 James R. Twine 21-May-02 5:30     I was under the impression that using RDTSC (alone) in a true multi-tasking environment would not yield accurate results due to the fact that the OS is busy doing other things, and your code, no matter how small, might get suspended/swapped.    Peace! -=- James. "Fat people are hard to kidnap." (Try Check Favorites Sometime!) Re: C - memory functions vs. Win32 memory functions Tim Smith21-May-02 6:12 Tim Smith 21-May-02 6:12  This is very true. Which is why you run your tests for a long time and multiple times. There are also things you do to try and make sure all you program code is paged in. But generally, you never test for raw speed (i.e. X runs in 506ms). You should always test for relative speed (i.e. X runs 23% faster than Y). This helps to make sure that both tests for X and Y are performed in the same environment. Also, test for repeatability.

Re: C - memory functions vs. Win32 memory functions Tim Smith21-May-02 6:14 Tim Smith 21-May-02 6:14  What I am trying to say is that even though what you said is very true. There are things that you can do to still make performance measurement reasonably reliable. Tim Smith I know what you're thinking punk, you're thinking did he spell check this document?

That's why I found it so odd to get different results on the memset/ZeroMemory. Apparantly it is never safe to do even the simplest performance testing in a Debug build.

Socket I/O 20-May-02 23:36 20-May-02 23:36  Hi, does anyone have some idea, how to make some TCP network transfer in separate thread (open connection, send/receive some data, close connection, end thread) using WinSock 1.1, so that i can immediately stop thread from parent thread anytime ? Re: Socket I/O Joaquín M López Muñoz21-May-02 0:40 Joaquín M López Muñoz 21-May-02 0:40  One approach is this: launch a thread provided with a message pump, and use message-based asynchronous sockets (see WSAAsyncSelect for further info). This thread can be stopped at any time with PostQuitMessage.

But I'm not able to identify if file(s) droped on it was drag "with right or left mouse button". (I would like to do popup menu in case of right button) Is there any way how to solve it? Thank you. V. Dolinay Re: droped file Prem Kumar20-May-02 23:41 Prem Kumar 20-May-02 23:41  From MSDN , HRESULT DragEnter( IDataObject * pDataObject, //Pointer to the interface of the source data // object DWORD grfKeyState, //Current state of keyboard modifier keys POINTL pt, //Current cursor coordinates DWORD * pdwEffect //Pointer to the effect of the drag-and-drop // operation ); grfKeyState [in] Current state of the keyboard modifier keys on the keyboard. Valid values can be a combination of any of the flags MK_CONTROL, MK_SHIFT, MK_ALT, MK_BUTTON, MK_LBUTTON, MK_MBUTTON, and MK_RBUTTON So as u can see you can test for the mouse button being pressed by anding //left button if( grfKeyState & MK_LBUTTON ) { //Do for left button } if( grfKeyState & MK_RBUTTON ) { //Do processing for right button }
