Hi,
I need change a Dos-C program with VC++6.0. In the Dos-C program, there is a piece of 16-bit masm code like the following:
-----------------------------------------------------------
_asm {
les bx, SRB
push es
push bx
lea bx, Aspi
call DWORD PTR [bx]
add sp, 4
}
where Aspi is defined as:
void (__far *Aspi)(u_char far *) = (void __far *)0;
srbExecIo *SRB;
typedef struct {
u_char commandCode;
u_char commandStatus;
u_char hostAdapterNo;
u_char scsiRequestFlag;
u_char reserved1[ 4 ];
u_char targetId;
u_char targetLun;
u_long dataAllocLength;
u_char senseAllocLength;
u_char *dataBuffer;
u_char *srbLink;
u_char scsiCdbLength;
u_char hostAdapterStatus;
u_char targetStatus;
u_char *postRoutine;
u_char reserved2[ 34 ];
union cdbAndSense ca;
} srbExecIo;
--------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm a newer for masm32. I used wnaspi32.dll for aspi-scsi management in new VC++ code.
Would please tell me how to change above code into VC++ code ? and some related setting information?
Thanks in advance!

iam writing a simple win32 dll.if i want to return the string from dll, there is a warning that warning C4172: returning address of local variable or temporary
i want to know how to return the value correctly.can anyone answer

Even if you tell us what the warning sayas you HAVE to show us some code also!
It's impossible to help if you don't show us some code snippets!
Are you returning like:
...
return &myVaribleOrObject;
If yes:
Then I can tell that you can't return an address of a local varible from a function. Show me some code and I can help you!

extern "C" LPTSTR _stdcall ReturnIEVersion()
{
HKEY hKey;
char szIEVersion[MAX_PATH];
DWORD dwType=REG_SZ, dwRetSize = MAX_PATH;
if(ERROR_SUCCESS == RegOpenKeyEx(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, "Software\\Microsoft\\Internet Explorer",0, KEY_READ, &hKey))
{
DWORD dwType=REG_SZ, dwRetSize = MAX_PATH;
if (ERROR_SUCCESS == RegQueryValueEx(hKey, "Version", NULL, &dwType, LPBYTE(szIEVersion), &dwRetSize))
{
return szIEVersion;
}
else
{
return "IEVersion not found";

}
else

return "Open Key Failed";
}

Ok,
All three of szIEVersion, "IEVersion not found" and "Open Key Failed" are non-static local variables, i.e., they are declared at function scope. This means that they are not valid once the program runs out of their scope, i.e., the function returns. They are only valid inside the function.
My suggestion is that you instead pass the char array along with its max length as parameters to the function and return TRUE or FALSE if success or failure, and copy "IEVersion not found" and "Open Key Failed" where you call this function, based on the return value. Like this:
extern "C" BOOL _stdcall ReturnIEVersion(LPTSTR pszIEVersion, INT nMaxLen)
{
HKEY hKey;
DWORD dwType = REG_SZ;
DWORD dwSize = nMaxLen + 1;
LPCTSTR pszKey = _T("Software\\Microsoft\\Internet Explorer");
if(ERROR_SUCCESS == RegOpenKeyEx(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, pszKey, 0, KEY_READ, &hKey))
{
if(ERROR_SUCCESS == RegQueryValueEx(hKey, _T("Version"), NULL, &dwType, LPBYTE(pszIEVersion), &dwSize))
{
return TRUE;
}
else
{
return FALSE;
}
RegCloseKey(hKey);
}
else
{
return FALSE;
}
}

I have used VC++ 6.0 to developed a program. However, I found the EXE file can only run on a conputer with VC installed. However if no VC is installed on the computer, it will say "Cannot find ***.dll file", So currently what I did is to copy also the required DLL file from my PC to the target PC and place the DLL file into the same folder. It can work then...
However, I just feel it is not a neat way to solve the problem. Can anybody tell me some other better solution to build my program so as to make resultant EXE file work on PCs without VC installed also?
Thanks in Advance...

Yes, if you have a version higher than the standard one, you can choose to statically link to the MFC dll. Then you simply need to avoid the C run time, and you'll stand a good chance of being where you want to be, so long as you do not use Direct X, MDAC, GDI+, etc.

If the program was compiled in Debug mode, it will require many VC debugging DLLs to run. If you compile the program in Release mode, it will not need those DLLs.

Hi,
I am using VC6.0++ with DAO & MS Access97! So far I use SQL successfully ... well except 1 thing:
I would like search a column (define as Boolean) in a databse table that has logic Checked (true?)
Whenever I did ... it does not worked!
1) strSQL.Format ("SELECT * FROM Sample WHERE Logic = 1");
2) strSQL.Format ("SELECT * FROM Sample WHERE Logic = TRUE");
3) strSQL.Format ("SELECT * FROM Sample WHERE Logic = %d", value); // set value = 1
*) Can anyone help me on this, I appreciate any help here
Many thanks,
Anh

I just did something in Access XP and created a query that looks like this:
SELECT Table1.ID
FROM Table1
WHERE (((Table1.ID)=True));
There may be slight differences between 97 and XP in regards to the syntax, however I doubt this would be one of them. Hope this helps.

Hi,
I got help to find how it works, thanks for help! Please see the the second Post of RedZenBird
Thanks,

did you try Yes/No ? Not sure if it'll work, but I just used Access to define a test table, and it called the column type a yes/no column.....maybe that's a valuable hint. If that doesn't work...then I don't know

I've confirmed that Yes / No works. Also True / False .... Seems maybe its case sensitive (?)

I've worked with both Access and SQL Server SQL statements and found a little inconsistency in the way that both platform represents a boolean value!
However I've found that FALSE is always represented as 0 (zero), and TRUE as any non-zero value. Access will sometimes store TRUE as -1.
So to query a boolean field I use :
"SELECT * FROM [Sample] WHERE [Logic]=0" // FALSE
"SELECT * FROM [Sample] WHERE [Logic]<>0" // TRUE

My teacher says there isn't but...
There's got to be a better way to do this...
Organism aOrgArray[iColSize] = {Organism iNumChroms),Organism (iNumChroms),
Organism (iNumChroms),Organism (iNumChroms),Organism (iNumChroms),Organism (iNumChroms),
Organism (iNumChroms),Organism (iNumChroms),Organism (iNumChroms),Organism (iNumChroms),
Organism (iNumChroms),Organism (iNumChroms),Organism (iNumChroms),Organism (iNumChroms),
Organism (iNumChroms),Organism (iNumChroms),Organism (iNumChroms),Organism (iNumChroms),
Organism (iNumChroms),Organism (iNumChroms)};
iColSize = 20 for this prog
The constructor for class Organism takes an integer argument, iNumChroms, that has no default value. A default would be acceptable if it would help me clean up this ugly delcaration! What if it needed to be 1000!?

You've answered your own question. Provide a default constructor, and a method to set the number of Chromosomes. Then you can set them in a loop, no matter how many there are.
Or create them on the heap. Then you can call new on them in a loop and pass in your variable.

I suppose you could do something like:
int i;
Organism aOrgArray[iColSize];
for(i = 0; i < iColSize - 1; i++)
aOrgArray[i] = Organism(iNumChroms);

Why create this first, and why create it without initialising it ?
Nick Parker wrote:

Won't work, unless you mean the col size to be a constant that replaces this variable, which does not really exist
Nick Parker wrote:
for(i = 0; i < iColSize - 1; i++)
Even if the rest would work, this would leave the last item uninitialised.
Nick Parker wrote:
aOrgArray[i] = Organism(iNumChroms);
Won't work, the item already exists, except it doesn't, because no default constructor is available.
All of this would be possible if you created them on the heap, an array of Organism pointers, and aOrgArray[i] = new Organism(iNumChroms);.

I'm betting he's a C programmer who's never got used to this new fangled ability to declare variables anywhere you like (though I tend to prefer to declare all of my variables at the top, anyway, as it makes it much easier to see what the function's using)

I have to admit that conversely, when I had to start using straight C for Palm work, I had NO idea why my code would not compile when it was scattered with variable declarations.
