I missed the shared CRT bit. Guess I lead you down the wrong track. Sorry about that.

Have you tried using the FILE_FLAG_SEQUENTIAL_SCAN flag?
fileHandle = CreateFile(pFileName, GENERIC_READ,
FILE_SHARE_READ, NULL, OPEN_EXISTING,
FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NORMAL | FILE_FLAG_SEQUENTIAL_SCAN, NULL);

i tried it. but there was no real difference (i stopped it at the 10x point, instead of letting it get to the 12x mark).

I took a one-minute glance through fwrite() and it does its own buffering, thus explaining the speed difference. If you can pre-calculate the amount of data you'll be writing, and that amount isn't huge, put it all into a memory-mapped file. That way you can use the same APIs but everything will be in memory.

but i would also have to duplicate the buffering for seek, tell, read, eof, etc.. it'd be far far far too much work (which means more chances for bugs).
too bad.

fwrite, fread and friends are easily many times faster than WriteFile, ReadFile and friends, when doing lots of small reads and writes.
Expected. The Win32 functions need to (among other things) do user->kernel->user mode transitions, which is horribly slow in IA32. The stdio functions perform buffering all in user-mode (no context switch until the buffer is full), and you can even increase the buffer with setvbuf (disregard any Micros~1 documentation lying to you that you can only use 32KB buffers - the buffer can be all the memory you can give it. Probably they haven't bothered to update the documentation from the ~1990 MS-DOS CRT limits).
If you are only given a file HANDLE (from e.g. a DLL) and want faster stdio functions, you should have a look at _open_osfhandle. That should put you on the right track.

_open_osfhandle
thanks for the tip.
open_osfhandle gives me a low-level, non-buffered, I/O handle. so, that doesn't buy me anything. i can use fdopen on that handle to get a stream I/O handle, but i haven't figured out how to detach the stream handle from the I/O handle when i'm done.
it's a nightmare

I created a NON doc/view MDI application using the MFC ClassWizard (or whatever it's called in .NET) and I don't know where to place the code for some edit fields I want to put in the MDI Child Windows. I put it in the OnCreate() function but it didn't work. Help!

Is it possible to generate a lib file from a DLL? I downloaded a DLL and it only comes with a def file. I would like to use the DLL the easy by including the lib for the DLL at compile time?
I could recompile the DLL source, but would prefer to use some tool to generate a lib file from the existing DLL
Thanks!

If you've got a DSP for it then add this to your project and make it a dependancy of the project. That's the easiest way. VC++ will do the rest.
I think there is a utility to create a lib, but I can't think what it is just now.

IMPLIB used to do it for Win16.
maybe this can help:

I know for sure the VC4.2 linker could do it. I don't know if they removed the option from later linkers (quite possible, since it was something useful).
Anyway, it went something like
link /def:foo.def foo.dll
and voila, an import .lib was generated.

hi all,
I have MDI app. whish has 1 document 3 view objects. I'll display three different graphical scenes in each window. So I modified view classes (CView1, CView2, CView3) in order to use opengl... I setup pixel formet get rendering context, make current etc...
if I modify only one view class app. works (only one view displays graphical scene), BUT if I modify 2 or all view classes for opengl, app. locks when I make full screen. If I comment wglMakeCurrent line app. doesnt lock. What's the problem with wglMakeCurrent..
if((::wglMakeCurrent(m_pDC->GetSafeHdc(), m_hRC))==false)
{
MessageBox("Cant make rend. context current");
return false;
}
If wglMakeCurrent runs in one view everthing is OK, But if all views run wglmakecurrent it crashes when I make fullscreen? I guess that all of the rendering contexts cant be made current at the same time, but why doesnt it crash when working in non-fullscreen mode..
I want to know what wglMakeCurrent exactly does? And why it crashes when I make fullscreen?
a second question:
Is there a tool that I can draw geometrical objects (2d or 3d) and tool creates opengl code for the objects?
sorry It was a long post but my english is this enough

You should probably refer to the excellent article CGLEnabledView - An MDI view class supporting OpenGL
[^],you will find useful info into.
wglMakeCurrent associates/de-associates the OpenGL rendering context to the Win32 device context.
Sometimes with OpenGL the problem comes not from the code, but from the implementation of OpenGL in the video card, that's why I would advise to test the application on different computers using different video cards.
I've no idea about your second question, but if you find such a tool, I would be happy to know it, TIA !

thanks for the link..
and I found a program named Deep Exploration that can convert 3d studio or other files to opengl source

hey everyone... whats the difference between managed c++ and regular c++??
|
|
|
|
|
Regular c++ is not managed . The difference is that managed is executed under .Net runtime (or whatever they call it) therefore there are certain limitation/differences. Totally different memory allocation, memory access(mostly none), data types etc.
|
|
|
|
|
Is there an article or website that describes the details and differences of both?
|
|
|
|
|
Managed C++ is .NET dialect of C++. As you probably know, in .NET it is Common Language Runtime that manages lifetime of objects, while in "raw" C++ it is entirely up to you how to manage memory. If you compile a C++ application with /CLR compile switch, you can make CLR calls from inside your C++ program.
