When template classes are instantiated, a new class is created at compile time.
For example, GenArray<int, 10> intob; will create a new class.
Internally this class will have some mangled name (maybe .?AV?$GenArray@H$09@@)
And GenArray<double, 15> doubleob; will create another class (maybe .?AV?$GenArray@N$0P@@@)
So now you have 2 different classes.
In order to create a new class, the compiler needs the full information about the template class.
Since these classes are created when compiling the main function in the file TestDemo.cpp, the whole template information is necessary in the TestDemo.cpp file.
So you either put the whole template class in the GenArray.h file or include both GenArray.h and GenArray.cpp in TestDemo.cpp.
You will notice that template libraries like STL, ATL etc. have only .h files with all template class information in the header file iteself.

Hi Superman,
Wow thanks a million for a great response! This makes sense ...
I guess I've just been taught never to use executable code in a header file (purely for prototype purposes)
but I guess template classes are the exception eh?!
Thanks again!

Hi,
i work in c++ using Visual Studio 2005.
I'd like to know if the assignment operation to int (like int i; i=5; ) is atomic. If yes, can you show me proof for that?
It is the same in x64 OS?
|
|
|
|
|
it can be, but i doesn't have to.
if you want to be sure use the volatile keyword.
[code]
volatile int test;
int main(int argc, const char *argv[])
{
test = 5; // this is atomic!
}
[/code]
Don't try it, just do it!

Why the volatile keyword make it atomic?

Definitely not.

Not true.
All volatile does is to tell the compiler to write the value back to memory when it's changed AND that something else may change the variable. Without volatile, under some circumstance it could optimize it a register and only write and/or fetch it periodically.

No, absolutely not. There is much more to atomic operations.
1.)The LOCK[^] prefix must be present to instruct the processor that it has exclusive memory access to the variable location.
2.) Modern processors perform speculative fetching and instruction reordering so the code being executed should be serialized before the atomic operaration with SFENCE[^]/LFENCE[^]/MFENCE[^] The volatile keyword[^] should give the compiler a hint that it needs to prevent out-of-order execution which may result in a Memory Barrier[^].

Is it possible that the mov assembly instruction is not atomic?
|
|
|
|
|
It is possible that it's not atomic - if the processor doesn't have the bus locked while performing the MOV, some other bus attached hardware (like, for example, the other core of the processor, or some hardware performing a DMA) could theoretically write to that memory location if it has precedence over the current processor.

can u plz advice me how i can decode pdf format and add it into device..that it gonna used as firmware... it is a prestigious matter for me because i was insulted bitterly in a electronics forum for this question of making a pdf reader device.. so it became a challenge to make it possible.. can u just help me to establish my dream??

Do you want to make a device able to understand the PDF format?
Have a look to this article [^], with in turn will shortly redirect you to the PDF specifications.

I enumerate all open windows with Enumwindows. In the processor function I try to check if the title of the window contains a certain string. If yes, put the handle in a list of handles(m_wndList).
if(hwnd)
{
CWindow win(hwnd);
CHAR str[100];
win.GetWindowText((LPTSTR)(str),100);
if (strncmp(str,"searchstring", 13) == 0)
dlg->m_wndList.push_back(hwnd);
}
It compiles, but I get the following error messages:
Run-time Check Failure #2: Stack around the variable str is corrupted
and/or
Run-time Check Failure #2: Stack around the variable win is corrupted
What is the problem? How should I change my code?

There's some problems with your code. What's with the (LPTSTR) nonsense? My guess is that you're building a Unicode application and casting away the compiler warnings (the (LPTSTR) cast I mentioned before) which were informing you of the real problem: that CHAR str[100]; is not a Unicode string. Try this:
if(hwnd)
{
CWindow win(hwnd);
TCHAR str[100];
win.GetWindowText(str, 100);
if (_tcsncmp(str, _T("searchstring"), 13) == 0)
dlg->m_wndList.push_back(hwnd);
}
Don't cast unless you're sure what the cast actually means, and don't try to cast away error messages.

To complement the answer from Stephen, I suggest you read this excellent article[^]. You'll be able to really understand why your code is wrong.

Thanks guys, you both helped me a lot. At the moment I just cut & paste any code I find, but this will change I hope.

Before Vista, it seems that the design of mac os is better than of Windows.
I want to know if Vista or Windows 7 is trying hard to redesign,
and how far it can go considering compatability.
How about totally redesign, and make xp as a subsystem for compatability.

So, in your opinion Unix architecture is better than Windows one?

The (latest) big turn (IMHO), in Windows evolution was the adoption of the NT architecture.
XP's one is fair good, Vista & Windows 7, AFAIK aren't such a redesign.

After I comparing them via some architecture illustrates.
Mac's is more clear than Windows' from this perspective.

You may go through automation, see, for instance [^].
