Yes, I have installed Connector C++ 8.0, in the link below it is explained that Conector C++ 8.0 supports "legacy C++ API based on the JDBC4",
and there is an exemplified code where appear the "connect" statement, and I am not able to understand where is defined to see it's functions or more
details.

Thank you.

I think you will need to search the documentation, or use the MySQL forum.

When I installed Connector C++, there were unziped the headers that contains declarations of classes and functions.
I suposed that is logical to find the declaration of these functions, clases constructors etc on those .h files.

I found connect declaration in driver.h file:

C++

class CPPCONN_PUBLIC_FUNC Driver
{
protected:
  virtual ~Driver() {}
public:
  // Attempts to make a database connection to the given URL.

  virtual Connection * connect(const sql::SQLString& hostName, const sql::SQLString& userName, const sql::SQLString& password) = 0;

  virtual Connection * connect(ConnectOptionsMap & options) = 0;

  virtual int getMajorVersion() = 0;

  virtual int getMinorVersion() = 0;

  virtual int getPatchVersion() = 0;

  virtual const sql::SQLString & getName() = 0;

  virtual void setCallBack(sql::Fido_Callback &cb) = 0;

  virtual void setCallBack(sql::Fido_Callback &&cb) = 0;

  virtual void threadInit() = 0;

  virtual void threadEnd() = 0;
};

And I found that the connection type(or class) of the connect defined in the connection.h file:

class CPPCONN_PUBLIC_FUNC Connection
{
  /* Prevent use of these */
  Connection(const Connection &);
  void operator=(Connection &);
public:

  Connection() {};

  virtual ~Connection() {};

  virtual void clearWarnings() = 0;

  virtual Statement *createStatement() = 0;

  virtual void close()  = 0;

  virtual void commit() = 0;

  virtual bool getAutoCommit() = 0;

  virtual sql::SQLString getCatalog() = 0;

  virtual Driver *getDriver() = 0;

  virtual sql::SQLString getSchema() = 0;

  virtual sql::SQLString getClientInfo() = 0;

  virtual void getClientOption(const sql::SQLString & optionName, void * optionValue) = 0;

  virtual sql::SQLString getClientOption(const sql::SQLString & optionName) = 0;

  virtual DatabaseMetaData * getMetaData() = 0;

  virtual enum_transaction_isolation getTransactionIsolation() = 0;

  virtual const SQLWarning * getWarnings() = 0;

  virtual bool isClosed() = 0;

  virtual bool isReadOnly() = 0;

  virtual bool isValid() = 0;

  virtual bool reconnect() = 0;

  virtual sql::SQLString nativeSQL(const sql::SQLString& sql) = 0;

  virtual PreparedStatement * prepareStatement(const sql::SQLString& sql) = 0;

  virtual PreparedStatement * prepareStatement(const sql::SQLString& sql, int autoGeneratedKeys) = 0;

  virtual PreparedStatement * prepareStatement(const sql::SQLString& sql, int* columnIndexes) = 0;

  virtual PreparedStatement * prepareStatement(const sql::SQLString& sql, int resultSetType, int resultSetConcurrency) = 0;

  virtual PreparedStatement * prepareStatement(const sql::SQLString& sql, int resultSetType, int resultSetConcurrency, int resultSetHoldability) = 0;

  virtual PreparedStatement * prepareStatement(const sql::SQLString& sql, sql::SQLString columnNames[]) = 0;

  virtual void releaseSavepoint(Savepoint * savepoint) = 0;

  virtual void rollback() = 0;

  virtual void rollback(Savepoint * savepoint) = 0;

  virtual void setAutoCommit(bool autoCommit) = 0;

  virtual void setCatalog(const sql::SQLString& catalog) = 0;

  virtual void setSchema(const sql::SQLString& catalog) = 0;

  virtual sql::Connection * setClientOption(const sql::SQLString & optionName, const void * optionValue) = 0;

  virtual sql::Connection * setClientOption(const sql::SQLString & optionName, const sql::SQLString & optionValue) = 0;

  virtual void setHoldability(int holdability) = 0;

  virtual void setReadOnly(bool readOnly) = 0;

  virtual Savepoint * setSavepoint() = 0;

  virtual Savepoint * setSavepoint(const sql::SQLString& name) = 0;

  virtual void setTransactionIsolation(enum_transaction_isolation level) = 0;

  /* virtual void setTypeMap(Map map) = 0; */
};

Maybe this operator:

C++

void operator=(Connection &);

, tries to tell something that I don't understand I will keep digging to understand something.

It is a simple overload of the assignment operator in C++. But is has very little to do with your question. The method you need to use is at the beginning:

C++

virtual Connection * connect(const sql::SQLString& hostName, const sql::SQLString& userName, const sql::SQLString& password) = 0;

Yes, but I don't know where to find the definition of this method.
I don't find the code behind it.

That is the definition of the method. You just need to code it with all the parameters filled in as necessary.

I don't see where I am misunderstand the things but it appears to me as a declaration of a method.

For example if we have a class defined like that:

C++

class point{
public:
int x,y;
void set (int val_x, int val_y);     // here the method declaration   
};

void point::set( int val_x, int val_y)   // here the method definition
                                         
	x = val_x;
	y = val_y;
	
}


void main()
{
	point p1;

	p1.set(10,2);    // here te call of the method

}

In the set method I have the parameters val_x and val_y, and I see in the definition of the set method the processes that implies val_x, and val_y,
I see that val_x is attributed to x and so over, but in the connect method I don't see where hostName, userName and password are used.
That it what I want to understand.

Thank you,

Why do you need to? All you really need to understand is that the C++ library will use those details to create an actual connection to the MySQL driver, and from there to the actual database server.

I had figured that if I know how this function is defined, I can extract more information about the conection, status of conection and other things that I am not aware, in addition I wanted to have a better overview on the subject.

All such information would normally be found in the documentation. And after searching the MySQL pages I think you need to look at https://dev.mysql.com/doc/c-api/8.0/en/[^]. it is titled "C APIO", but I assume it works just as well with the C++ driver.

Normaly this information should be in the installation folders of the C++ connector, in the headers files, and some of it, it is, but I just don' t know where to find definition of those methods, any way I supose that I will succed finally, but it would have been intresting to know how this method were coded. Or maybe those would be an waste of time or to complicate for my knowledge level.

dll access violation with Excel 32 / 64 bits

Danilo Lemos 20216-Jan-23 2:30

Hi,

I built a function library (dll) in MS-Visual Studio 2022 using C/C++, to be accessed directly from Excel cells via VBA code.

When I call the dll in the 32-bit version of Microsoft 365 Excel, no error occurs. But when I compile the dll for x64 and run it from the 64-bit version, an access violation occurs in the function arguments.

Summarizing the project in a single function:

---------------------------------------------------------------
.cpp file:

extern "C"
{
    __declspec(dllexport) double __stdcall fA(INT64&);
}

double __stdcall fA(double& a) // causes an exception in 64 bits mode
{
    return a;
}
-------------------------------------------------------------

VBA da planilha Excel:

Declare PtrSafe Function fA _
Lib "C:\dll64\dll64.dll" (ByRef a As Double) As Double

-------------------------------------------------------------

Why did you declared it as

double __stdcall fA(INT64&);

not as

double __stdcall fA(double&);

Linker error when adding Ole to my application, what am I missing?

I'm trying to get some code to run to work around another issue, and for the life of me, I cannot make the VS2008 linker happy.
This is for a smart device, Windows Embedded Compact 7, but I think the target is only a symptom. I've tried this against 3 different SDKs for VS2008 as well as EVC++ (going way back) and two different SDKs - all have the same issue.

I need the application to run OLE. So, I created a very simple dialog app - think default code base, C++. It compiles and links. I then add one call: "OleInitialize(0);" and I get this:

Quote:
1>Linking...
1>OleTest.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol OleInitialize referenced in function "public: virtual int __cdecl COleTestApp::InitInstance(void)" (?InitInstance@COleTestApp@@UAAHXZ)

You can say I need to add an input to the linker line for ole32.lib, but it still fails. Oddly, VS2008 shows that I've inherited these from the solution. Of course the desktop links fine.

Any random or "oh crap, yeah, I had that problem" ideas? It's almost as if the ole32.lib doesn't have OleInitialize. I could believe that for one SDK but not 5.

As rough guess, the linker is not able to find the ole32 library for the embedded platform target (the reason I really don't know).

Well that's the obvious thing, but for the life of me I don't know why. I have other code that links with a few non-default libraries, and these are found fine. I searched my SDKs, and all of them have the library in question.

Very weird.

Give that man a cigar!

It had to be something stupid like that - I didn't pick up on that because if I hit :: - OleInitialize is actually in the popup. I guess it's in a header file but not in the binary.

Thank you

how to interact with access control and open the door from My c++ desktop application

I am working on c++ desktop application , i have to allow one time access for each employee per a day,

 the question is how to interact with access control and open the door through it 

(the access control  has its dadecated software to open the door) 

a looked for the API from its proper website but they do not offer it
now i have just the access control driver.

Use Ctrl+Left/Right to switch messages, Ctrl+Up/Down to switch threads, Ctrl+Shift+Left/Right to switch pages.
