Your original rect (10,20,20,40) has

width = right - left = 20 - 10 = 10 pixels.

If you want it 80 pixels wide (with minimum change on coordinates) then you should move its right side 70 pixels to the right:

left<sub>new</sub>   = left;
right<sub>new</sub>  = right + 70; // now width = right<sub>new</sub> - left<sub>new</sub> = 80
top<sub>new</sub>    = top;
bottom<sub>new</sub> = bottom;

That's what InflateRect(0,0,70,0) does.

if new width is decrease so i can use DeflateRect or InflateRect.

Juat assign a new value to the right member:

rect.right = rect.left + the_new_width;

Although your instincts may tell you otherwise, this is not how memory management[^] works. Your application has an internel working set[^] of memory. The operating system uses this extra memory to make your application faster since the memory is already allocated but simply marked as "stand-by". When you free your memory it does not mean your working set will decrease in size. The memory is simply marked as "not needed now, but maybe later" or "standby". I hope this makes sense.

It is possible to force all standby memory to be released by calling the SetProcessWorkingSetSize Function[^] with -1 for both arguments although its not recommended. It required the PROCESS_SET_QUOTA access right. You can severly harm application performance by abusing SetProcessWorkingSetSize. Note that this technique is not recommended for most applications.

virtual operator "="

Hi,

I wonder why a derived class can not use its base class's virtual operator = function. For example, code like this can not pass compilation:

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

class base
{
public:

virtual base & operator = (const base &other) {}

};

class derived : public base
{

};

int main()
{
derived d;
base b;

d = b; //compiler says no operator = found

return 0;
}

thanks,
Bob

yes, typecast works. But what I mean is why derived can not directly use "=" if it inherits it from base?

thanks,

The assignment operator used is chosen based on the
type of the variable being assigned to. To use the base
assignment operator without a cast would require an overload
that returns a derived.

Is it in the specification of C++? If not, what I can see is the derived class inherits all of the information of the function in the bass class, including the return value.

Bob

It wouldn't work for any class, whether virtual or not.

There's not an implicit assignment operator for a type that takes a
base type as its right-hand operand. You must explicitly provide the
assignment operator or cast the left operand to a type that matches
an existing assignment operator overload.

Using a cast may hide the compiler error but if the operator overload that
the compiler chooses to call doesn't actually return a derived&, then you can't
rely on it being a derived object.

Also..

It is stated here[^] that assignment operators are not inherited.

Take a close look at this[^] example as well.

AFAIK, In C++, operator = is not inherited.

Catching all exceptions

charlieg2-Jan-09 10:36

I'm trying to hook in a master "omg, we're going down, eject, eject, eject!" code chunk into my mfc dialog application. Basically, I do not want the user to see "chg.exe has done something bad and will need to terminate." What I want is to be able to capture as much forensic data to allow me to have a hope to diagnose what caused the crash.

So, in doing my research, I have seen two main approaches - override the run method of the CWinApp:

<br />
<br />
int CMyApp::Run() <br />
{<br />
   BOOL bRun;<br />
   BOOL bExit=FALSE;<br />
<br />
   while(!bExit)<br />
   {<br />
      try<br />
      {<br />
         bRun= CWinApp::Run();<br />
         bExit=TRUE;<br />
      }<br />
      catch (...)<br />
      {<br />
         AfxMessageBox(_T("Exeption!!!"));  // or trace or printf, does not matter.<br />
      }<br />
   }<br />
   return bRun;<br />
}<br />

I've also added the ProcessWndProcException handler at the app level as well.

What I have seen so far is that basically the code is ignored. If I hack up a little dialog app and divide by 0 or try to modify NULL, I see nothing at run time until I try to exit my app. What should one expect from these approaches?
