Then you have a lot to learn about how this forum works. People come here hourly thinking they can dump a general question about a detailed subject, and then expect a detailed reply. Last time I checked, most of the folks that help out here work for a living and help out when they have time and/or knowledge. Why would a sane person want to type paragraph after paragraph about the study and implementation of something as involved as B+ trees when they could simply point you to already existing articles?

Hello,
i ran into a bit of trouble when converting unsigned short int to its hex string representation. What i need is a two byte representation with a space between the bytes (e.g "0f 43" for 3907 of "00 ff" for 255)
The solution i came up with is the following:
unsigned char* CreateHexValues(unsigned short int inValue)
{
char Hex[5] = {0, 0, 0, 0, 0};
_itoa_s(inValue, Hex, 16);
unsigned char *hexOut = new unsigned char[5];
hexOut[2] = ' ';
if(inValue <= 15)
{
hexOut[0] = '0';
hexOut[1] = '0';
hexOut[3] = '0';
hexOut[4] = Hex[0];
}
else if(inValue > 15 && inValue <= 255)
{
hexOut[0] = '0';
hexOut[1] = '0';
hexOut[3] = Hex[0];
hexOut[4] = Hex[1];
}
else if(inValue > 255 && inValue <= 4095)
{
hexOut[0] = '0';
hexOut[1] = Hex[0];
hexOut[3] = Hex[1];
hexOut[4] = Hex[2];
}
else if (inValue > 4096)
{
hexOut[0] = Hex[0];
hexOut[1] = Hex[1];
hexOut[3] = Hex[2];
hexOut[4] = Hex[3];
}
return hexOut;
}
So my question is: is there a better/quicker way to do that? The problem is that when i convert it with _itoa_s it could be in the following formats: f43, 43, 3 (depending on inValue) without any zeros in front of it. Another problem is with the Hex[5] array, my inValue can never be bigger than 65535, but for some reason i get an assertion failure when i change its size to Hex[4] which should be enough for 65535. Why could that be?
Thanks for all replies in advance

A simpler way is to use the one of the xprintf() type functions. Take a look here[^] at the x and X format specifiers.

I would do
void CreateHexValues(unsigned short inValue, char hexOut[6])
{
sprintf(hexOut, "%02x %02x", (inValue >> 8), (inValue & 0xFF) );
}
Please note: Array allocation is, by design... , responsibility of the caller.

Shouldn't it be hexOut[6] to make room for the \0 character?

Thank you very much, brilliant solution

How about something like:
char szBuffer[10];
short value = 1234;
sprintf(szBuffer, "%02X %02X", HIBYTE(value), LOBYTE(value));

hey there tell me how to communicate with the printer ... Give me a sample code

I don't know if you understand but your question is rather.... hum no question at all. its actually an order... a very lazy one
Why don't you try Google it!!! Its much easier and faster than waiting an answer here. Don't you think that no-one so far needed to communicate with a printer from C++? I doubt it.
here is what i found in 1 min....

Try soothing words. If that doesn't work, use harsh language.

Hi,
Nobody will want to do your work. So, search the internet, do some research and reach a stage where you'd have specific issues. You could then come here for help.

Do you want to write driver for printer or you want to print some things with it?

HI all,
i want to add all files of a folder ,but there is a requirement the selected folder not have any other folder only filese are must be present.
so please tell me How can add path of all files to List Ctrl those are present in folder ?
thanks in advance.
To accomplish great things, we must not only act, but also dream;
not only plan, but also believe.

Try using the FindFirstFile[^] and FindNextFile[^] APIs for this task. You can add the file names once you got them using CListCtrl::InsertItem[^]. Good luck.

Use EnableWindow() for this.

Specifically which part is troubling you? Hint: "All of it" is not an acceptable answer.

Ok so I want to learn what is the problem in the following code:
typedef int (*foo_ptr)(void);
static int foo()
{
return 20;
}
static void after_foo(){}
void main(int argc, char **argv)
{
size_t foo_size = (LPBYTE)after_foo - (LPBYTE)foo;
foo_ptr p_foo = (foo_ptr) VirtualAlloc(0, foo_size, MEM_COMMIT, PAGE_EXECUTE_READWRITE);
CopyMemory(p_foo, &foo, foo_size);
int res = (*p_foo)();
}
Now it works perfectly as this but it crashes as soon as i insert printf("something") in the foo function. so the code that fails is the following:
typedef int (*foo_ptr)(void);
static int foo()
{
// this is the only modification
printf("test to print");
return 20;
}
static void after_foo(){}
void main(int argc, char **argv)
{
size_t foo_size = (LPBYTE)after_foo - (LPBYTE)foo;
foo_ptr p_foo = (foo_ptr) VirtualAlloc(0, foo_size, MEM_COMMIT, PAGE_EXECUTE_READWRITE);
CopyMemory(p_foo, &foo, foo_size);
int res = (*p_foo)();
}
What i have noticed is that it crushes each time i insert a code that access the heap memory in the foo function. If i insert a code that allocates a heap it is not a problem (example int x;). I think it is something with the static functions and their address translation (absolute vs relative)...
Any answer would be appreciated
P.S. Please note that i do not want to do some mallware code.. i mean i know how to inject the code in the address space of another process i just cant figure it out how to insert it in the address space of the same process...... I have done a data management component which i use to share data between processes (IPC). The data management component works on a File mapped memory and uses custom heap implementation over that memory (using offsets since the memory is mapped differently in each process) to store the data. Now i want to boost it to share not only data between processes but also a code. The idea is that i do not want to inject the code from another process instead to inject the code in a shared memory space then from another process to copy the function in the local memory space and execute it from there.
Example:
App1 -> store foo() in DM
App2 -> read foo() from DM
App2 -> write foo() in local memory space (with PAGE_EXECUTE_READWRITE protection flag set)
App2 -> execute foo()
* DM is already created and works fine with data
* I understand that foo must not call functions from libraries that are not loaded in App2
Uffff tooo long post... sorry 
regards,
Nikola Tanev

Ok so i found the solution:
I Execute the code in Release mode.
In this current case the problem was the _RTC_CheckEsp that checks checks the validity of the ESP register. It works ok for the original function (call _RTC_CheckEsp) but for the copied it was a jump to an address containing invalid memory (call 00030090 and on that address was nothing (no mans land) except 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00). I guess the call to _RTC_CheckEsp is actually a call to a relative address and it gets lost when the code is copied in another memory location.
_RTC_CheckEsp
00041120 jne esperror (41123h)
00041122 ret
It seams that this function works only in debug mode. What it does is that it checks the ESP register (stack register) and if corrupted jumps to 41123h (esperror)
I thought i give the solution here and my opinion for the solution in case anyone else has a similar problem
P.S. It is an interesting subject so if anyone has an idea (or if i am wrong) i would be more than happy to hear it... (maybe even write an article about it)
regards
Nikola
