ok...
I'll try to find it...
but I'm using CString object in order to handle my strings. Do I need to release in some way the string?
Thank you in advance.

Do you cast your CStrings into LPTSTR instead of LPCTSTR somewhere?
That is, do you bend them into being non-const?
Or do you GetBuffer() somewhere without Release()?
Release() is only needed after GetBuffer(), but then ABSOLUTELY needed.
Normaly, the CString is dealocated when it goes out of scope.
My opinions may have changed, but not the fact that I am right.

 ;)hi,
read memory contents at
0x0191AAF8
0x019200E8
0x01912988
.
.
.
in the files as shown as see where you get, i guess maybe you are allocating some memory and not releasing it out afterwards. just check out...I m not sure whether i am right or not..did it a yr ago i guess.
cheers

Since you are using MFC, put the following code at the top of each source file in your program (after the #includes):
#ifdef _DEBUG
#define new DEBUG_NEW
#undef THIS_FILE
static char THIS_FILE[] = __FILE__;
#endif
Then, when you get these memory leaks, you will be able to see the location where you allocate the object that you are leaking.
Note that it's possible to do this even if you don't use MFC, but then you have to write your own new and delete operators, and I don't want to explain all that.

How can I view the processes running under svchost.exe?
I am interested in the memory of those process.
eg., tapi32.dll is a service run under svchost.exe, how to see its parameters like memory, starttime etc.

Did you try Task manager?

This code simply open the printer setup dialog box :
CPrintDialog dlg(TRUE);
AfxGetApp()->DoPrintDialog(&dlg);
As soon as this dialog box is open, any repaint of my main window
causes a crash in the dll that do the painting. That seems to be
in relation with the use of the GDI, but I have no precise clue.
This crash occurs only 1) in Win95/98/ME, not NT/2000/XP
2) in release compilation , not debug
On one moment I had resolved the problem by compiling the dll witout any
optimization (normally size optimized). But now, after some changes in this
dll, that crashes again.

I found the solution on CodeGuru...
// extract :
When starting the print-dialog, a part of the code in the printerdriver is executed (setup/init, querying printer capabilities etc). This bit of code may have altered the FPU exception mask. The driver SHOULD reset the FPU exception mask but this is quite often omitted.
The safest bet would be to reset the FPU after calling the CPrintDialog:oModal.
_control87( _CW_DEFAULT, 0xfffff )
//
Executing this line
_control87( _CW_DEFAULT, 0xfffff )
before my paint code stops the crash.

Hi, i've been working on an IM app, and have been having some more trouble (i had a different problem yesterday) with using rich text, now i was messing around with adding images in (like the official msn messenger client and emoticons, which coincedentically also uses rich text) i tried using some code from knowledge base article (220844) but this code seems to leak memory, my working set increases by a few mb if i add and remove 50 images. The use of ole seems like total overkill for my purposes, if you've used the messenger client you'll know what i'm talking about, the closer i can get to this level of functionality in my rich text control the better.. any thoughts?
thanks.

Hi,
I ported my application(MFC with VC6) to XP. I used the mechanism of seperate manifest file in application directory .Refer MSDN article for "Using XP style" (http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnwxp/html/xptheming.asp)
Now the problem is the Grip portion of the Toolbar is not getting repainted properly in XP.
Thanks in advance

Hi All,
I must be making this way too complicated. Could someone show me how to pass a TCHAR* or LPTSTR to a member function, allocate enough memory for an unknown string length, and have the string be there when it returns?
I feel like this is a stupid question, but just can't get it to work!
thanks
Paul

Hi..
many API functions that take char* as an argument takes the lenghth of the buffer as well..
you can do the same, pass the pointer and the length to the function...
|
|
|
|
|
Example is kind of C, in C++ you should probably use string class of some kind (_bstr_t, std::(w)string). NOTE The function does not check for 0 length.
bool member_function(LPCTSTR szSource, LPTSTR* szDestination)
{
if(!szSource)
return false;
size_t nSize = _tcslen(szSource);
*szDestination = new TCHAR[nSize+1];//NOTE: if passed string is not NULL, we just lost memory
_tcscpy(*szDestination, szSource);
return true;
}

but but but ....
won't I need to call delete on the new so that there is no memory leak? If so, it would seem foolish to delegate this to the caller of the function.

Hey, You did not ask if it was foolish, you ask how to do it
Actually, it is a design decision you have to make.
Deleting inside the function might present additional problems
1. What if the user of the function passes uninitialized pointer?
2. What if the user of the function passes the pointer which initialized to something that can not be deleted (_T("static string"))?
Windows APIs usually leave memory deallocation to the client of the function. But again - it is your decision.

Hi guys,
when I use out assembly like this
//MSDN Sample
__asm
{
mov al, 2
mov dx, 0xD007
out dx, al
}
in a function, every thing is ok and run under 98
but when I run this in Windows2000 I get error like:
Unhangled exeption in Test.exe : 0xc0000096: Privilaged Instruction.
please tell me , what I must do?
My program must work under win2000
Thanx before.
|
|
|
|
|
this is a very wild guess, but I think that the out instruction is privileged under NT systems (NT4, W2K as well as XP).
|
|
|
|
|
geo_m's wild guess is right: under NT-based OS'es (NT3.5-4, W2K, XP) you have no direct access to the hardware.
Generic devices (Serial port, LPT, etc.) can be accessed like files by using special names (See CreateFile documentation).
For custom devices, you'd need a device driver that runs in kernel mode and talks to the device, and you user mode program just talks to the driver. But writing a driver is a separate business alltogether...

It's depressing to me that people this stupid can still work out how to use a computer. Bring back 1985, that's what I say.
