Well, what's being missed is that s0,s1 and s2 are char Arrays of 1,2 and 1 byte respectively, and NOT poiners! Why are they being displayed as DWORD.
What byte packing is used. Unless if you have a constructor SOME(), in which you specifically initialise the structure, you should not rely on the content of the structure because it is unpredictable.
The DEBUG version of the compiler tries to pad uninitialised and deleted structures with garbage in an attempt to make your code blow if you by mistake forget to initialise, or attempt to refer to de-allocated data.
The Release version is by no means as friendly, in that it does none of these things. If your code works while referring to data outside their validity scope, you create a timebomb which at some time in the future will cause unpredictable and mysterious crashes. I note that you read the structure after deallocation, This mere read could lead to an invalid memory access crash. (ever tried to read a NULL pointer?)

I need a constant array with pointers to two words - OK, CANCEL.
I tried:
const TCHAR Texts[2][7] = {L"OK", L"Cancel"};
It works fine, but I want to remove [7] and put [] instead, so when I change the text, I don't need to calculate the largest possible size.
Also I want to have pointers to this words ...

first of all, you're making a type mistake.
if you're prepending the strings with a L, then you must use WCHAR.
if you still want to continue with TCHAR, then L is not what you're after. You must use _T() around the string.
this being said, why don't you just do this :
const TCHAR* Texts[2] = { _T("OK"), _T("Cancel") };

Than you very much!!! It worked !!!
Actually I'm compiling for WM5.0, and TCHAR is WCHAR by default, so L is ok.
Is there a place when I can read for the foundation of C++??
I don't know the difference of TCHAR* xx and TCHAR *XX

actually, this is just a C++ language stuff.
FOO* XX has absolutely no difference with FOO *XX.
it's just a matter of taste when declaring a variable...
TCHAR however is part of the MFC, and is declared like the following IIRC:
#if defined(UNICODE) || defined(_UNICODE)
#define TCHAR WCHAR
#else
#define TCHAR char
#endif
On the same, _T() is defined like this:
#if defined(UNICODE) || defined(_UNICODE)
#define _T(x) L##x
#else
#define x
#endif

I know that _T(xx) is better (it works for ANSI and Unicode) then Lxx , but when I need a constant string it is easier to put just L (because for WM you almost always work with Unicode).
P.S. If you know a place on Internet, where I can learn some basic C++ conception this will be great.

It is not a question of "one is better than the other".
you MUST use _T() with TCHAR and L with WCHAR.
the point that UNICODE is defined is not for "WM" at all. it is defined in your project settings, and some might want to build a non unicode version.
if your code is well written then, only switching the parameter in the project settings will do. otherwise, you'd have to change every line of code using L to remove it, so that the ANSI build can perform successfully.
so be independant of that, and use _T()

xx is a different variable than XX. Whether you put the space before or after is irrelevant, as the compiler sees tokens rather than spaces.

Hi,
I have an application which executes query through ExecuteSQL statement in an postgres 8.1 windows native version.
During ExecuteSQL if the server is switched off(power off) the system gets hanged and no exception is thrown.
The reason we found out is since the communication happens through TCP/IP and the TCP_KEEPALIVE_IDLE time is 2hrs by default it takes lot of time for sending the next heartbeat request.
It can be reduced by changing the value in registry , but the problem we are facing is since it will be modified for all the TCP/IP ports,it will increase the network traffic.
Is there any way to restrict the option only to a port ? If so how to apply it to the port confiured for the datasource.
Else is there any other ways to solve the issue?
Thanks
Krishnan

I am using Microsoft visual c++ 6, and I want to draw shapes on a view.
What i want is a displayed shape with a
semi-transparent color i.e. we should still be able to see whatever is
beneath the shape. Can anyone help me?
Thanks.

You could use GDI+[^]
Gdiplus::Graphics g(hwnd, 0);
Gdiplus::Pen p(Color(64, 255, 0, 0), 10);
g.DrawLine(&p, 0, 0, 400, 400);

I have just added this section of code to the initinstance of my app.
WSADATA wsaData;
int iResult = WSAStartup(MAKEWORD(2,2),&wsaData);
if (iResult != NO_ERROR) {
OutputDebugString("Error at WSAStartup()\r\n");
}
just before this line
int nResponse = dlg.DoModal();
when this is run an unhandled exception occurs
the message reads
"Unhandled Exception in MyApp.exe: 0xC0000005: Access Violation"
When I click 'OK' the code breaks at this line
size_type size() const
{return (_First == 0 ? 0 : _Last - _First); }
which is line 114 in the VECTOR.h file from the VC98\include directory.
Anyone have any ideas, I am using VC6.
Cheers
Jim

Could you please post the entire code snippet of your InitInstance() function? There is no chance for a vector to be in a mfc wizard generated InitInstance(). I think some other code block of your's is causing the problem.
Well, while posting code, please enclose in "code block" so that the it will be easier to read.
Regards,
Jijo.

And if you remove the code, does the error go away?
Yes I realize you need sockets initialized but that is a secondary problem.

Yeap, it goes away.
Here is a copy of the InitInstance

I can't see what's causing the exception, but is
there a reason you're not calling the base class
InitInstance()?

Sorry, not sure I follow....that is the base class of the project....isn't it?
Am I missing something here?

Maybe it is (I can't see the header file) but it looks so much like
an MFC CWinApp/CWinAppEx InitInstance() override that I assumed it was

ok, so what do I need to do?

Something like this:
BOOL CMyApp::InitInstance()
{
if (!CWinApp::InitInstance())
return FALSE;
#ifdef _AFXDLL
Enable3dControls();
#else
Enable3dControlsStatic();
#endif
...
Not all base class implementations of virtual functions do anything
but there is a little code in CWinApp::InitInstance() that may or may
not be important.

No, that didn't work
|
|
|

What does "didn't work" mean?
I didn't expect it to fix the exception - i only pointed
out the fact that it was missing and wondered if there
was a reason.
