ATL / WTL / STL

4-Feb-03 19:23

Hi, everyone!

Here is a simply STL program deals with copy
algorithm of STL. I do not understand what is the
meaning of the socond parameter of my case, i.e.

--------
istream_iterator<int> ()
--------

What does it mean? Here are the source codes
and related output.

Source codes,

--------
#include <iterator>
#include <fstream>
#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

void main()
{
//0 1 2 3 are in c:\\file1.txt
ifstream ifile ("c:\\file1.txt");

copy (istream_iterator <int> (ifile),
istream_iterator<int> (),
ostream_iterator<int> (cout) );

}
--------

Output,

--------
0123
--------

Thanks in advance,
George

istream_iterator() indicates end of a stream.

Hi, Kuphryn buddies!

As you mentioned, istream_iterator<int> () is an "end-of-stream" iterator. But it is the end of which stream? Why it is assigned as
the end of the ifile stream? Since there are no parameter in istream_iterator<int> (), it really doubted me a lot. (If it has a parameter identifies the ifile, it would be clear, I think.)

Thank in advance,
George

Its the end of all istream_iterator<int>'s. Think of it as a constant.

stl version of CString?

First off: STL RULES!

Ok, now a confession...

the only reason I even use MFC is for CString. I've been searching for a decent stl replacement, and found a few, but I thought I'd ask some STL zealots for their respective opinions...

A quick & dirty replacement is:

typedef std::basic_string<TCHAR> tstring;

although I think I've seen a true STL port here on CP.

That's not enough. CString uses reference counting remember?

Well, depending on your application, reference counting can be slower. Herb Sutter did a study and found that reference counting based strings only benefit the application if you application is primarily copying the string from place to place without modification. But you also have to take into account any memory savings that you might get with a reference counting system.

I'm going to patent thought. I have yet to see any prior art.

Actually, to be even more specific, I use CString mainly for the method:

szMyString.Format("My unsigned int is 0x%.8X", uiMyInt);

...and for some reason sprintf() scares me Unsure | :~

std::ostringstream oss;	
oss << "My unsigned int is 0x" << std::uppercase << std::setw ( 8 ) 
    << std::setfill ( '0' ) << std::hex << n << std::endl;	
std::cout << oss.str () << std::endl;

Is roughly the equivalent when using the STLs. It a bit of a mouth full, but some of the modifiers persist between calls--std::uppercase will, while std::setw must be called each time--so once you called them, you need not do so again untill you need a new option set.

Before you dig in, check out the Boost Format library[^]. It might just be what you're looking for.

predicate function

I have code which looks like this:

class A<br />
{<br />
   // i want to write predicate fn here...<br />
   std::vector<B* > m_bs;<br />
}

Class A contains a few variables that decide the sort order. I want to create a predicate function to use with sort and lower_bound, which makes use of these parameters in class A.

How do I use a member function of class A as a predicate in sort and lower_bound for operations on a vector of class B objects.

Just provide a reference to an object of type A to the sort predicate:

class A{
std::vector<B*> m_bs;
struct sort_pB
{
  sort_pB(const A& a):a(a){}
  bool operator()(B* const pb1,B* const pb2) const
  {
    // stuff dependent on pb1, pb2 and a
  }
  const A& a;
}
 
void sort()
{
  m_bs.sort(m_bs.begin(),m_bs.end(),sort_pB(*this);
}
};

Can I use the same thing with lower_bound also?

Delayed QueryInterface error Exception!!!

Hi,
I'm using a VC++ 6.0 ATL COM object in a .NET code. The library is registered before usign it.
Everything work correctly if the library is being accessed continuously; the problem appears when it's not accessed for a while (maybe 5 minutes, it has not been completely assumed) so when it's accessed again it returns an exception of a QueryInterface error for the library interface, although the library has not been modified, neither changed or deleted...nothing! the system only has been forgotten for a while...

Any suggestion or good idea?, any knowledge about it?

Thank you in advance,
Edgar

Are you sure that you keep atleast one reference to the object?
Sounds like the object have been recycled...

Thanks, Stefan,
It's said it's a hidden bug almost solved from Microsoft. There's a hotfix still not published (Q325699) which you can ask for to Microsoft Support, but it's only available for NET english version.

This bug consists of an incorrect behaviour of the garbage collector, which removes the instance of the COM objects unsued after a few time.

I'll try to solve it manually until Microsoft publish the fix for my spanish version, accessing the object between short periods of times.

Thank you again,
Edgar

I meet with the following errors when compiling the

Next time, check the "Display this message as-is (no HTML)" ooption so that the < and > characters will appear.

You're supplying nonsensical parameters to istream_iterator. Replace with:

istream_iterator<int> r (ifile);
