Everything in the Debug and Release folders is regenerated at compile time. The rest of the files are pretty much needed apart from .CLW and .NCB (which store the classwizard and class view information)

.pch are pre-compiled headers and can be safely deleted.

In addition to Martin's reply: you can safely delete *.aps and *.plg files. I'm usually deleting .opt file as well - it has workspace-related info like executable name for debugging .dlls.

Assuming you can recompile from your sources (i.e. you're not dependent on any .libs or .dlls), all you need are the .cpp, .h, .txt, .rc, .dsp, .dsw and /res files.

And if you're looking for a free backup utility, why not try my EZBackup[^] tool? Smile | :)

Does it distinguish between needed files and garbage? Poke tongue | ;-P

Yes, of course. Right now Wink | ;)

But it keeps telling me that it doesnt find the server. Are you hiding it, so that no one can see that EZBackup doesnt know what files Gregor needs? Shame on you. Roll eyes | :rolleyes:

Good opportunity to make some advertisement, eh? Big Grin | :-D

But your app has a big bug, take a look: http://foxhunter.ath.cx/ezbackup.jpg

Someone else mentioned the resize problem, but I can't seem to duplicate it on Win2K or Win98. Can you try minimizing/restoring the resized app and see if it goes away? Thanks!

You can safely delete all variants of Release and Debug subdirectories.
You can also delete NCB file whitch stores IDE layout informations and takes some space.

String Table

Is there any way to import values directly into a string table rather than having to type each one of them individually in?

Could you please post the exact method of doing so if indeed there is a way.

Thanks
ashish

Don't know about an easy way.
You can create an RC file with string table and include it into Your main RC file.

You mean creating a string resource automated? Well, you could use a macro for this or just any text tool that writes properly formated text into the projects .rc file. Or write your own app that works with the .rc file and inserts the strings.

signature for atof is as follows:

double atof( const char *string );

My question is, what API can I use if I need "long double" precision?

thanx.

norm

istringstream::operator >> (long double &n) should do nicely.

Free your mind and your ass will follow.

any alternative?

devvvy28-Aug-02 4:28

devvvy

but the code also invoked:

sqrt
fabs
...etc

any alternative?

You want functions operating on long doubles? While there are ones operating on long doubles (like sqrtl) in math.h, they are just casting parameters to double before performing calculations using plain, 'double' versions.

check this out:

i was looking at MSDN, i dont think it says abs() supports "long double"...?

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/vclib/html/_CRT_Long_Double.asp[^]

If you look at VC's math.h, you'll find that floorl looks like this:

inline long double floorl(long double _X) { return (floor((double)_X)); }

'long double' precision is lost.

Automatic change of version

28-Aug-02 4:56

MSDN say to this:

Previous 16-bit versions of Microsoft C/C++ and Microsoft Visual C++ supported the long double, 80-bit precision data type. In Win32 programming, however, the long double data type maps to the double, 64-bit precision data type. The Microsoft run-time library provides long double versions of the math functions only for backward compatibility. The long double function prototypes are identical to the prototypes for their double counterparts, except that the long double data type replaces the double data type. The long double versions of these functions should not be used in new code.

Hello
I would like to automatically change the file version of my program (Console Application with MFC support), for example after linking.
Is it possible to do that automatically with Visual C++ 6.0.
Or do anyone has a tip for that.
Thanks
Alex
