Hi Chris.
Yes, that is not a problem. The one thing is that if the (virtual) member/class is already declared in another base class. Then this base class I derive another class. But for this class, I need a slightly different functionality of that "virtual" member/class. But I do not want to disturb the function of the original (virtual) member/ class in that other base class.
You know my meaning? I want to "replace" that class with another class which has identical functions but with some changes...
Thanks.

I'm not certain I understand what you want to achieve, but my gut feeling is that you cannot do that.
maybe if you create a base class for CTest and CTest1 and keep a pointer to that class instead of CTest and CTest1 ?
class CTestBase {};
class CTest : public CTestBase {};
class CTest1 : public CTestBase {};
class CBase
{
CBase() { m_pTest = new CTest;};
CTestBase* m_pTest;
};
class Cbase1 : public CBase
{
CBase1() { m_pTest = new CTest1;};
CTestBase* m_pTest;
};
but you will probably need to use something like CBase::m_pTest and CBase1::m_pTest to resolve potential name conflicts.

HI Max.
Thanks for the comment. I think I can use something like this. Don't know why I did not think of it.
Thanks.

I think there's a bit of an OO design issue going on here. Perhaps you need some data hiding...
<br />
class CBase<br />
{<br />
public:<br />
virtual int AccessorFunctionThatDealsWithTest();<br />
<br />
private:<br />
CTest m_test;<br />
};<br />
<br />
class CDerived1 : public CBase<br />
{<br />
public:<br />
int AccessorFunctionThatDealsWithTest();
<br />
private:<br />
CSomeOtherTest m_test;<br />
};<br />
If you do this then it matters not if CTest and CSomeOtherTest are related, they can be but the 'user' of CBase:CDerived1 hierarchy doesn't have to know or care because the AccessorFunctionThatDealsWithTest() interface is the same even though its implementation might be entirely different. Now that makes me

Hi,
How can I convert a string to long, so that the long value will be exactly the same value as the string?
When I use the following code:
CString str= "39436573472344";
long temp = atol(str);
The value of temp is 2147483647.
How can I get the value of temp to be the same as the string?
Thanks.

The numeric value corrensponding to your string simply doesn't fit inside a variable of type long; in such cases the atol returns LONG_MAX (i.e. 2147483647).
You can use _strtoi64 function and a variable of type __int64 that holds values up to 9223372036854775807.
If the Lord God Almighty had consulted me before embarking upon the Creation, I would have recommended something simpler.

Your problem here is that the number is too large to be stored in 32 bit signed long. You'll need a 64 bit integer type for this one, _int64 _atoi64( const char *string ); should do the trick or its UNICODE equivalent.

I'm developing a C++ program that should check whether SQL 2k5, Exchange 2k7, Oracle 10g are installed on the system. Based on whether one of it is installed the program shall invoke a different C++ function. The check shall be made by probing for certain registry keys/values by the C++ main program.
I would like to know which keys/values are set by the installation of
SQL 2k5
Exchange 2k7
Oracle 10g.
Also are there registy keys/values probing is foolproof enough to guarantee the successfull calling of the appropriate function?
On a sidenote are there any registry keys/values that are common and same for all the above three databases irrespective of different flavours. The idea is that the same registry check works for all the different version of a database.

I work in C,C++ Windows platform. I am to write code to format a pendrive. I searched and found DeviceIOControl() that seemed to fulfill my purpose. But I cannot proceed any further. Plz help me in this regard.
thanx

One way, generally, is to use the function FormatEx() from fmifs.dll.
I have been using it for years, but yesterday, I tried to use it for formatting an USB stick/pendrive.
The format itself seemed to work very well, but I got "delayed write error" when I tried to write big files to the pen drive after formatting it (with FormatEx).
I ended up with using Windows normal Format, and after that, the pen drive seemed to work as before.
I suspect the cause of the problem is in the second parameter to the FormatEx() function.
It seems as there are just two known values (outside MS) out of 24! (The known values are FMIFS_FLOPPY and FMIFS_HARDDISK). Another value might do the trick.
So your DeviceIOControl() call might be a way to do it. It seems possible that the formatting code is included with the driver. Might be worth to investigate further.
You say "I cannot proceed any further". Why? What's the problem?

Dear All
how can i get the size of a function (its code size in the memory in bytes) from its pointer (its function pointer)
function like
double add (double , double)
i tried sizeof by many ways and no result
any tips
thanks all
bye

what if i want to copy the function code from the memory to a file?? !!

Why would you need/want this? Even if it were possible, the "code" you'd end up with would be machine code.

IMHO (I'm not expert about), you need to hack DLL (or executable) internals, i.e. you need to know PE file format, have a look at http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/02/02/PE/default.aspx[^]

The only way would be a loop that reads through the assembly code looking for the next ret. This would only work with simple functions having only one ret. Once you put the code in a file it would be useless anyway because code with jump instructions in it (most code) is usually address dependent. ie. if you don't load the code back at the same address it won't work anymore. As you can never gaurentee to do this in any future instance of the process it would be of no use to have the unbased machine code in a file, except possibly for comparison to detect a code modifying virus attack or something. There are better ways to do that anyway like security cookie checks which are already built into every function for you by the MS Compiler. See the /GS compiler switch. If you want to know more have a look at some disassemblers which turn compiled code back into something almost readable.

Caveat: This is dubious practice. The memory layout is not guaranteed and should not be relied upon. Pointer arithmatic is not good. It is mostly just an "irresistible" question.
Given the above: an old technique is to use two function pointers
void functionA()
{
}
void functionB()
{
}
void dontdothis()
{
void * p1 = functionA;
void * p2 = functionB;
char * p3 = static_cast<char *>(p1);
char * p4 = static_cast<char *>(p2);
size_t sizeFn = p4 - p3;
}
There is little, if anything, that can be done with this.

can u kindly explain more what the meaning by ur code ??
you just sub. two addr of two pointer of two function !! how this be the size and size of which one ..
i really misunderstand
thx

Assuming the two functions are back-to-back in memory, you can simply take the difference of their addresses to obtain the size. In other words, if functionA() is at 0x1234 and functionB() is at 0x2345, then the size of functionA() would be 4,369 bytes.

Nicely said.
This is precisely what is happening.
Once more, don't do this.

I wouldn't. I was just explaining to Adore what was happening.

ooh sure should not be used !!
nothing can guaranty that the two functions are above each other in the memory !!!
see no way here ..
indeed its a client request for what i don't know !
thx all

Since that won't do, try this:
Load the program in a debugger and read the starting and ending address of the function and do the math.
Otherwise you need to do a lot more research before you can ask your question.

I am adapting for Visual C++ 2008 a Borland C++ 4.5 program which includes this function:
int is_dir(char*path){struct stat i; stat(path,&i); return i.st_mode&S_IFDIR;}
which returns non-zero if path is the name of a directory. But Visual C++ does not know the type struct stat. Please how could I do this in Visual C++ (preferably without using classes)?
