Well, if one gets really anal about it, the standard actually does not guarantee that the expression does not get executed at run time. One can always write en evil compiler that does the calculation at run-time just for fun and then throws the value away.
What my example shows is that any real compiler has to calculate the value of constant expressions.
PS: Even this is not entirely true if one imagines a pyschedelic compiler that does not reserve static memory for fixed sized arrays and prefers to do it at run-time. Or also, a conforming compiler can just translate to a high-level language and avoid calculating any constant expression at all.

OK, so what I said is right - you might reasonably hope that the compiler will evaluate the constant, but there is no guarentee ?

You are utterly (en vogue word, ain't it) right, my dear.
In my defense I'd say that
int i=10000; reasonably gets calculated at compile-time, but there is no guarantee that the compiler does not generate the equivalent of
i=0;
for(int n=0;n<10000;++n){
Sleep(1000);
++i;
}just for fun.

I'm not 100% sure, but I think I remember reading that all harcoded expression, like yours, are resolved at compilation.
So YOP+3 would equate to (4*3)+2+3 = 17.
This result would then be used thoughout your code.
|

The preprocessor (which handles #define's) simply performs string substitution. It does not do any expression evaluation. The end result is that int i=4*3+2+3 is what is passed to the compiler. The compiler will evaluate the statement as i=17.
This is why it is so important to parenthesize macro arguments, along with the macro itself. Since the #define is just a string substitution, it can have problems based on operator precedence. For example, suppose you have:
#define macro(a,b) a / b If you use this macro like this:
int x = macro(4,2); the compiler actually parses and generates code for:
int x = 4 / 2; But, if you use it like this:
int y = macro(4,1 + 1); the compiler actually parses it as:
int y = 4 / 1 + 1; which has a different result from what you expect. Similarly, if you use the macro like this:
int z = macro(4,2) * 3; the compiler parse it as
int z = 4 / 2 * 3; Given operator precedence, the compiler will generate code for
int z = 6; Using the macro as follows:
int z = macro(4,1 + 1) * 3; causes the compiler to parse:
int z = 4 / 1 + 1 * 3; which generates code for
int z = 7;
Software Zen: delete this;

If you have a compiler smart enough to do "constant folding", then yes, you'll end up with int i = 17. Constant folding is one of those compiler optimizations that is literally so easy, that every compiler you will find out there will do it. Even most interpreters will do it.
The other replies have given a good enough explanation of the preprocessing stuff going on here, so I'll not explain that part of it.

:-DHow can I obtain SID -> security Identifier ie.
HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-905137394-830476157-270368766-1458
of the current logged in user
|
|
|
|

From a bit of spelunking, you should be able to use
LookupAccountName to get a SID of a user, and
ConvertSidToStringSid to convert it to the
text format you are after.
Good luck!
Iain.
ps. You might want GetUserName to get the
current user name.

Hi,
I am working on windows XP machine, Visual Studio 6.0(SP5),
I am trying to draw caption using the following function :
::DrawCaption(m_hWnd, *pDC,&rcCaption,DC_ACTIVE|DC_TEXT|DC_GRADIENT);
Studio reports the error that DC_GRADIENT is undeclared identifier.
If I go to the source of where this macro is declared, I see a conditional declaration that if WINVER is >= 0x500 only then this could be compiled.
If I look for the source of WINVER, it is 0x400 in some files(winRes.h and Windows.h), and 0x500 in other files(WinRef, WinUsr, WinGDI & WinDef).
Now I could not understand, that why is it defined to 0x400, on my XP machine ?? is it a issue with some Service pack ??
Could some body please throw some light on this ?
Regards,
Abhishek Narula

The only thing that matters is what you define for WINVER. If you assign a value of 0x500, all that's meant to work under 5.0 and higher will get compiled without errors. In the corresponding files, there're some ifdefs which introduce some identifiers if your version passes the comparison, otherwise not. The standard WINVER is 400 I think.
|
|
|
|
|
The best ist to define this value for yourself and NOT to set WINVER = 0x500 because there may arise problems if the programs isnt running under XP. 
Try this @ home. (B&B)

i need to access zip and jar file directly by c++.
in someway, i am doing an unzip and unjar program.
in the moment, i only can do:
zip file:
read all structures with right info (OK)
problem: for code part, i don't know its format, so i can't translate it to oringinal file.
jar file:
none (only few info from google).
who knows useful links and books about their format - espacially about code part?
thx for any help.

Have you tried ZipArchive at
http://www.artpol-software.com/
?
There's a free library there that allows you to read and write ZIP files that's very easy to use, I don't know if that's any use to you.
Cheers,

Have a look at zziplib. If you want to, you can even replace plain fopen with zzip_fopen and read the file like it was a plan C stream.
As for jar file, it completely depends if you're talking about the .jar extension that Sun "stole", or the more widely spread and later hijacked JAR archiver (the successor to ARJ). If the former, it's nothing more than a renamed .zip-file. For the latter, check the ARJ/JAR site and see if there is a free unpack lib.
++luck;

hi, thx u 3!
i need to access sun's java jar file first, than more...
what does "stole" mean here? is there any special?

The JAR archiver was on the field before Java even became hype (IIRC). A jar archive therefore had a well-defined meaning: an archive created by the JAR archiver.
Then Sun came along with Java. First they used the .zip extension (as one would expect, since Java class-collection archives are just zip-files).
Later Sun decided this wasn't any good. They wanted something that differentiated a Java .zip archive from any other .zip archive. What could be more obvious than taking a zip-file and changing the extension to .jar (Java ARchive)? Well, I can come to think of a gazillion better things to do - especially since they by this move overloaded even the meaning of "jar archive". This was a Bad Thing(tm).
Nowadays "a jar archive" can be either a JAR archiver archive (with .j extension) or a collection of Java classes in a zip-file (renamed to the .jar extension), and without explicit context or qualification there is no way to know which one people are talking about (hence my previous answer to your question).
So the meaning of "stole" in this context was to display that Sun hijacked an already existing TLA used in the same field (archives and archivers).

 Hi everybody.
I'm writing a CD PLAYER, (with my own class), using the MCI COMMANDS
with the SendString function.
Everything goes well, but I have two problems.
First: How can I detect when an AudioCD is insert?.
Right now, I have a member function in my class called IsCDInsert()
and with a WM_TIMER message in my dialog, (the method wake up every second),
I can do that, but I think that this is not the right way.
Maybe the question could it be: How can I make my cd player the default player?.
Second: I have, (for example), a slider control in my dialog, and I like to control
the CD Volume with it. How can I link that control with the sistem volume function?.
I have see the MCIWndGetVolume() function, but I dont have a MCI window, and the
function waveOutSetVolume() but I think that it's only for wave files.
Well, thank you very much.
Sorry about my english.
Demian.

I'm creating an OLE container doc/view (MFC), which can embed Excel workbooks within it; I have a need for the VBA in Workbook_Open() to be executed when the document is opened, but am having a spot of difficulty with that.
Sometimes the VBA is executed, sometimes it isn't - really inconsistent. Has anyone managed to successfully do this, or could you point me in the right direction for making sure that the VBA is always executed?

Hello all,
I'm working with HtmlView in VC7.
I have a problem to get all URL of multiframes web page.
I would like to get the URL of the page which have the focus.
You know how to do this?
thx in advance.
|
|
|
|
|
Well, it's only a try!
Getting all URLs of your web page isn't very complicated - for every frame the function OnBeforeNavigate2 gets called, providing the URL.
But determination on gaining focus should be a more advanced task.
When your document is loaded, you can get a pointer to all frames of your window by IHtmlWindow's get_frames function. Then you should implement a connection sink and connect to all IHtmlElementEvents2. Then you could react on it's onfocus event.
Connecting to the events could be done in the following way:
void CMyClass::ConnectEvents(IHTMLElement* pElem)
{
HRESULT hr;
IConnectionPointContainer* pCPC = NULL;
IConnectionPoint* pCP = NULL;
DWORD dwCookie;
hr = pElem->QueryInterface(IID_IConnectionPointContainer, (void**)&pCPC);
if (SUCCEEDED(hr))
{
hr = pCPC->FindConnectionPoint(DIID_HTMLElementEvents2, &pCP);
if (SUCCEEDED(hr))
{
hr = pCP->Advise(pUnk, &dwCookie);
if (SUCCEEDED(hr))
{
}
pCP->Release();
}
pCPC->Release();
}
}
pElem would be a frame element in your case.
Hope it helps ... and works;)

THX!!! are you lucky luke? 
im'going to understand your code and try it.
i hope it's works 
thx again !

hmm..
sorry i'm don't understand very well
to get a pointer on frames i do :
IDispatch *pDisp = GetHtmlDocument();
IHTMLDocument2 *pDocument = NULL;
pDisp->QueryInterface( IID_IHTMLDocument2, ( void** )&pDocument );
IHTMLFramesCollection2* pFrames;
pDocument->get_frames(&pFrames);
I don't understand what contains pFrames ?
and to pass IHTMLElement* pElem at ConnectEvents i do :
IHTMLElement* pBody = NULL;
pDocument->get_body (&pBody );
ConnectEvents(pBody);
it's right ?
i'm sorry to ask you so many questions but you are my only help.
