So, apparently the compiler still makes a copy. Anyway it's not significant, the point is that your pointer version is valid (but bad design in my mind) and the array version is not. The reason for this is as I have described previously.
Just out of curiosity, did you try the const-array version in both debug and release mode? I would guess that in debug you would still see problems, but in release mode it might work. But it's still a bad idea

Yes Steen i agree that it is bad design , i was just experimenting.

Yep , and the result is the same in both Debug and Release Builds

I also knew this and thats why i expected that the output of foo() and foo1() had to be the same.

i've done it already but result is the same.

hello,
today i tried to create a program- a new project. i tried with Managed C++, Windows Form Application (.NET), i even checked on Delphi. but, at the end, i found out MFC is really the best solution for a project i would create since i worked in MFC before.
i would really like to know if there is an option to get Windows Form Application controls working in mfc.
For example:
i would like to add to my application imagelist, then i would like to add 32bit ico and png files into it. the main reason is actually, that the default MFC support only 256 colors - BMP images and lowcolored ICO files. but i really want for my program to look as good as possible!
any ideas how to do that? thanks for all the info guys and gals

Google will give you heaps of hits on solutions to this problem. I don't recall what they are, but I was doing this with help from the web 6 years ago.

This is my understanading of the problem...
1. You have an application and a dll
2. You are creating a thread which thread proc is in the DLL function
3. You need to send a message to the Thread which reside insode the dll..
Am I right?
PostMessage and SendMessage are used to send or post a message to the same proc.. Obviously they are belongs to the Window and processed by the Window Proc. As you know Window and Thread are fundamentally different..
In your case, your have two threads (minimum, one is your application thread and another one is dll thread...
For sending messages between the threads you have to use PostThreadMessage() function. For that you need the thread id of the destination.
Hope this help you.. Let me know if you need more information...

I am getting a compilation error using strings...
I believe I need to convert a char* to a TCHAR?
char* str;
str = "test";
TCHAR pzFolder[1] = TEXT(str); // fails here with error C2440: 'initializing' : cannot convert from 'char *' to 'char [261]'
|
|
|
|
|
pzFolder is an array of chars. str is a char pointer. You need to use _tcscpy(pzFolder, str); (And pzFolder needs to be longer than 1 char.)
Anyone who thinks he has a better idea of what's good for people than people do is a swine.

I am trying to convert a time string to hexidecimal format with a fixed length of 4 bytes. When I do the conversion below I get 7D5 when what I want is 07D5. Is there an easy way to pad the left hand side of the string with zeros? I also need to do this with seconds where I will have to pad more than 1 zero. I know I can do some string length checks and add zeros but I think there is an easier way out there.
Thanks,
Ryan
SYSTEMTIME st;
short year;
GetSystemTime(&st);
year = st.wYear;
CString Trialtime;
Trialtime.Format("%X", year);

Thanks,
I tried just ("%4X", year) but that didn't do it. Now I know.
Thanks again

Hi,
I'm writing a multithreaded app and I'm having some bizzare problems. I have a worker thread which has a critical section. As the application starts up, it locks a whole bunch of times, and unlocks a whole bunch more times, no problems, every single lock is followed by an unlock. Then I call Sleep, after I've called sleep, I try and lock the CCriticalSection again, and the worker thread hangs permanently. This is bizzare because I've put TRACE0s in every single function that has access to that critical section, and none of them are called while my worker is sleeping. It's like somehow my critical section is getting locked, even though nobody seems to be locking it. Does anyone have any bright ideas about how my CCriticalSection might be being locked without me realising it? Is there any good way of knowing when and who is locking my critical section?

Bizzare! Replacing the CCriticalSection with a CMutex made the problem go away !?!

That's weird.
The main differences between critical sections and mutices is (a) mutices work cross-process, and (b) have a different timing.
I suspect you still have a bug lurking in your code, that is hidden / uncovered depending on timing.

what do u mean by sleep. You called Sleep()? That freezes the thread! You should never use that func if you want the thread to be able to process something else at the same time!
|
|
|
|
|
so let me understand this, you call each worker from your main process, then sleep in main? this s what you should do, but i suspect this is not the case...
a 'good' model:
while(1) {
// call your threadproc
sleep(L5);
// watever else
}
dont use sleep in threadproc, this suspends execution
|
|
|
|
|
No No! The worker does the sleeping! The main process never stops - it just runs the message pump!
Joel Holdsworth
|
|
|
|
|
Main process and the worker thread are both threads. You call Sleep in the w-thread, it will be suspended there sleepting, and not able to receive and new message. I assume your w-thread does task when told, i.e. when getting a message to trigger execution of certain functions. If your w-thread cannot receive message, no wonder your func does not get called, let alone hit your critical section.

Well, sleep() only sleeps for the time specified. As I understand the OP he has something like
<br />
...<br />
sleep(sometime);<br />
myCriticalSection.Lock()
here the sleep() call will only block the worker thread for sometime milliseconds and are thus not in itself a problem.
