I've been digging through RSA labs site for a loooong time, and all I could find is a bunch of docs Confused | :confused:

Is there another download location for RSA stuff??

thx Cool | :cool:

yeeeees

I've tried that, I couldn't get the thing working.. D'Oh! | :doh:

Anyways, since RSA is going to be a part of anti-crack-hack-slash Smile | :)

protection, I think it would be unwise to use crypto++ since it's a separate module..could be easily avoided & my proggy would eventually get hacked (like that's not gonna happen anyway Roll eyes | :rolleyes:

)

But I might take a closer look whatsoever, thanx Cool | :cool:

C++ - "We don't use STL here"

That's what I was told by my boss in my last contract, when he was looking at some of my code that used it. His view was that he wouldn't touch it with a barge pole. Given that STL is a part of Standard C++ what do you guys think of such an attitude?

And if they just use containers from MFC or another library instead of STL bloatware?

STL is more than just "containers", although I agree that using MFC containers is much better than raw arrays.

Just take some time and learn it - it is really useful, especially when enriched with Boost libraries. Although, I admit I hate its name conventions Smile | :)

Unfortunately, his attitude was probably formed from the poor support for the STL provided by Microsoft prior to VS.NET. We have a similar problem, in that our development up to now has used the MFC collection classes, and we really don't want to mix the two at this point.

I found VC++ 6's STL support good enough for what I wanted to do. Maybe I'm an insufficiently advanced STL user? I view these things as tools. If the MFC collection classes do what you want then use them. But if there is functionality available in STL which is not in MFC we shouldn't be afraid to use it. Especially as STL is part of Standard C++.

For single-threaded programs it was mostly fine (unless you were passing STL containers accross DLL boundaries). However, for multithreaded it was dangerously broken, unless you applied these fixes[^] (especially the one for xtree)

Yep, I discovered it the hard way Smile | :)

He was quite a clever guy. But he did seem to have a fondness, not so much for MFC, but for "C-style" C++. Lots of low-level methods, void*s and unnecessary dynamic allocations. But as his code generally seemed to work I guess his attitude is: if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Problem is it's not very friendly to the coder who has to understand his code.

h323 connection to Cisco Call Manager 4.1 ?

Hello,

does anybody of you know about how to connect to Cisco Call Manager 4.1(2) ? I'd like to monitor incomming calls... I don't want to use CiscoTSP, so the only? way to do this is SCCP, which communicates through h323 protocol. Are there any libraries which could I use ? (I found openh323 library, but no examples on how to use it). My biggest problem is the connection to call manager (Using TAPI 2.x and h323.tsp I was not able to change the IP addres where it should look for call manager) ...

1. Speak CERN proxy syntax to the proxy server at PROXYIP:PROXYPORT
e.g "CONNECT MYSERVERIP:MYSERVERPORT HTTP/1.1"

2. Use WinInet API instead
e.g Use InternetOpen() with Flags INTERNET_OPEN_TYPE_PRECONFIG_WITH_NO_AUTOPROXY
or
INTERNET_OPEN_TYPE_PROXY

Do something like that:

Suppose the structure is called YourStruct.
The vector is declared like that:
std::vector<YourStruct> YourVector;

To add elements in the vector:

for (int i=0;i<10;i++)
{
YourStruct TestStruct;
// Fill the structure

YourVector.push_back(TestStruct);
}
