just a guess, untested

#define testmacro(x) _asm mov eax, 0 _asm mov ebx, 0

My untested guess would be

#define TestMacro2(x) _asm{ mov eax, 0 \
                            mov ebx, 0 }

When I try to compile this:

#define TestMacro2(x) _asm{ mov eax, 0 \
                            mov ebx, 0 }

int main() {
	TestMacro2(0);
	return 0;
}

I get the following error and warning with VC++:

warning C4405: 'mov' : identifier is reserved word<br />
error C2400: inline assembler syntax error in 'second operand'; found 'register'

Thanks anyway Smile | :)

I am sorry Aidman that it didn't work. It was just a suggestion that I didn't test, because I was in a hurry.

Nope. Won't work. The '\' at the end of the line will cause the two lines to be concatenated, effectively becoming

#define TestMacro2(x) _asm{ mov eax, 0 mov ebx, 0 }

You'll have to use PJ's solution to get the result he's after.

It was a shot in the dark. In assembly there are no line delimiters such as ; (I am sure you know this), while PJ's solution seemed to work I thought he could give it a try with my idea. Obviously, it doesn't work. Big Grin | :-D

The __asm is its own separator, so __asm mov ax,0 __asm mov bx,0 is perfectly valid code.

Hi,

Did you try:

#define TestMacro2(x) { _asm mov eax, 0 _asm mov ebx, 0 }

or even

#define TestMacro2(x) { \
_asm mov eax, 0 \
_asm mov ebx, 0 \
}

Both of the above should work - note the surrounding braces {} are not necessary but are there to make the code look prettier. Smile | :)

CPropertySheet Apply button disabled

Hello all

I'm coding an application using CPropertySheet and adding some property pages to this property sheet. The problem the Apply button by default is disabled, is there any way to enable it for all the property pages contained in the property sheet.

If any one knows how to do it, pls help me.

thanks for your time.
Hari.

Thanks for the reply. Now the Apply button is activated whenever I change any of the Page properties.

Thanks for answering my question.

CAsyncSocket usage

14-Jul-03 11:50

i need to send a UDP broadcast message to a network of sensors, and i'm trying to use the CAsyncSocket class. the sensors are accepting text string commands on port 7000. here's the code:

<br />
int errorCode;<br />
<br />
if (!m_udpSocket.Create(0, SOCK_DGRAM))<br />
{<br />
     AfxMessageBox("Create Error");<br />
     errorCode = GetLastError();<br />
}<br />
<br />
// xxxxx is the command<br />
if (m_udpSocket.SendTo("xxxxx", sizeof("xxxxx"), 7000) == SOCKET_ERROR)<br />
{<br />
     AfxMessageBox("Send Error");<br />
     errorCode = GetLastError();<br />
}<br />
<br />
m_udpSocket.Close();<br />

the Create() function is working, but SendTo() gives me an error. the errorCode is 0, but this doesn't seem to match any of the winsock codes on MSDN. am i missing something or leaving something out? i don't know much about networking, but i have to use UDP and the sensors don't support CArchives so i can't use CSocket. any help is greatly appreciated!
(p.s. -- if there is a syntax error or something, it's probably just my typing - i don't have my hands on the actual code atm.)

replace sizeof("xxxxx") with strlen("xxxxx"), and if it still doesn't work try to put this line before SendTo().

int on = 1, optlen = sizeof(on);
m_udpSocket.SetSockOpt(SO_BROADCAST,&on,optlen);

i'm having the same problem now with a tcp send.

<br />
if (Connect(host, 9000) == SOCKET_ERROR)<br />
{<br />
AfxMessageBox("Error Connecting");<br />
errorCode = GetLastError();<br />
}<br />
if (Send(command, command.GetLength()) == SOCKET_ERROR)<br />
{<br />
AfxMessageBox("Error Sending Packet");<br />
errorCode = GetLastError();<br />
}<br />

the Connect() seems to work, but i get an error sending. again, the errorCode is 0. is there another option i need to set? thanks, again.

Hi,
i'm developing this app using MFC now i want to store some functions(MFC),controls(MFC) ect. in a dll,
i have 2 options
Regular DLL using shared MFC or MFC extension DLL

wich is better to use and what is the difference beetwen them,
thanks

Hi:
Regular DLL: Allows you to use any MFC classes and functions, but you can only exports "C" functions.
MFC extension DLL: Allows you to export Classes that you can derive from in your client app.
hope it helps

WaitForSingleObject

act_x14-Jul-03 9:59

14-Jul-03 9:59

I have a COm framework where I have two classes A and B that service requests based on their respective queues .

for e.g life Sequence for Class A is as follows :

1.Class A object created

2.AddedToQueue_A event created as nonSignalled .

3.Worker thread within Class A created .

4.CLass A QUEUE is empty hence Worker thread is blocked with the call:

ResetEvent(AddedToQueue_A)<br />
WaitForSingleObject(AddedToQueue_A,INFINITE);

5. When a request is added to Queue(Enqueue) a call is made to awaken the thread like :
SetEvent(AddedtoQueue_A);

6. Thread A is awakened and the request is serviced .

Similar is the case of Class B object

Observations :
1. With Class A object present and when there is no Class B object the thread is awakened properly and the queue is serviced .

2. With Class A and CLass B objects present , the observation is that though an entry is added to the Queue of class A , Class A thread is not getting awakened everytime for some reason .the thread gets awakened every alternated time when the Queue size =2;
My question is that is the blocking statement
WaitForsingleObject() associated with the thread priority . Why isnt Class A's thread being called everytime I Set the event while enqueuing ?

I don't entirely get your design, but I guess it doesn't matter, because:

ResetEvent(AddedToQueue_A)
WaitForSingleObject(AddedToQueue_A,INFINITE);

is fundamentally flawed. Let me explain. Suppose a request is enqueued into A when worker thread A is servicing a prior request and before it has completed to do so. When the worker thread fininshes, it resumes waiting, but before that it calls ResetEvent(AddedToQueue_A): the signal is lost and the thread sits here waiting for ever (or until another request with more lucky timing gets in).
Instead, create AddedtoQueue_A as automatic (see the docs for CreateEvent) and do not use ResetEvent. Good luck.

Thank you for your insight .
I made the modification but still find that my thread (Class A)gets awakened every alternate request (i.e Queuesize=2) . This behaviour is absent when the other thread of class B is absent .

here is a snippet of my thread operation

while(threadNeedstorun){<br />
       if(queueSize>0){<br />
       //Service Queue<br />
       }<br />
       // Block <br />
       WaitForSingleObject(AddedtoQueue_A,INFINITE)<br />
       // Awake <br />
  }<br />
<br />
here is the snippet of my Enqueue operation <br />
<br />
    if(queueSize<MAX_QUE_SIZE){<br />
<br />
       array[(head+queueSize)%MAX_QUE_SIZE]=newVal;<br />
       queueSize++;<br />
<br />
      SetEvent(AddedtoQueue_A) <br />
    }<br />

OK, this kind of stuff is always somewhat messy. Try this. Define a CRITICAL_SECTION, say CS_A (don't forget to initialize it with InitializeCriticalSection), create AddedtoQueue_A as manual and use the following for incrementing and decrementing the number of elements in the queue:

void DecrementElementsInA()
{
  EnterCriticalSection(CS_A);
  --queueSize;
  if(queueSize==0){
    ResetEvent(AddedtoQueue_A);
  }
  LeaveCriticalSection(CS_A);
}

IncrementElementsInA()
{
  EnterCriticalSection(CS_A);
  ++queueSize;
  if(queueSize>0){
    SetEvent(AddedtoQueue_A);
  }
  LeaveCriticalSection(CS_A);
}

Think this sould do. Please report back, regards,
