sure as you soon as you explain how you want to convert 8 bytes into 2

cout << "double: " << sizeof(double) << endl;
cout << "ushort: " << sizeof( unsigned short) << endl;

Resulting output

double: 8
ushort: 2

How do you want the conversion to work? Do you want the result rounded? What should happen if the double is negative?

You can not convert. The only thing that you can do is to separate the four Bytes of the double into unsigned chars, and afterwards mount them another time.

This is what I have to do to get the "real" variables of a PLC. But its a shi...

This is what I have to do to get the real value of an analog input on a PLC.

The communication and reading function is BYTEwise, but reals in Step7 are 4 bytes. So I have to read indepentant bytes, separate some bits, and make the conversion to real using the formule of the IEEE.

BTW, thanks you a lot for the link. There is much better explained as in the help files of siemens

I get the following error messages:

c:\C++ Programs\StructViewer\parser.h(48) : error C2061: syntax error : identifier 'name'
c:\C++ Programs\StructViewer\parser.h(50) : error C2061: syntax error : identifier 'var_type'

for the following section of my code:

struct struct_info<br />
{<br />
	struct_info() {};<br />
	std::string name;<br />
	name_extractor variable(name);<br />
	string var_type;<br />
	type_extractor variable_type(struct_info::var_type);<br />
};<br />

The struct declared above gets passed to a grammar rule that was defined using the Boost library. I am using Visual Studio 2003 on Win XP SP2.

I am for the time being ignorant of the cause of the error. Can anyone help?

This looks like a declaration of a member function variable that takes one parameter of unknown type. If you really mean to declare a function, all parameters must have their types declared, i.e.

<br />
name_extractor variable (std::string& name);<br />

Integrate Borland Visibroker into VS 2005

Having downloaded the 60 day trial version of Borlands Visibroker, I did get the first simple example working, but that was using the DOS Command windows.
I could not find a way to call the IDL complier and produce a solution in VS 2005.
I used the nmake to build the application on a DOS window launched from VS2005, otherwise the nmake was not known in the Borland DOS window.

Anyone have been here before?

cannot convert parameter 1 from 'char' to 'const char *'

Dear Experts,

I am stuck up with a piece of code, which I am not able to break. Could you kindly help me out.

Situation:
I am trying to perform a string comparison between 2 variables, one defined as const TCHAR * and other defined as CS_CHAR, inside an Embedded SQL program in C++. My relevant code snippet is as below:

=====

short CSQLBox::fnTest(const TCHAR *varInput)<br />
{<br />
  CS_CHAR szExtract;<br />
  <br />
  //szExtract variable is populated by Embedded SQL query<br />
  ....<br />
<br />
  //Do string comparison<br />
  if(strcmp(szExtract, varInput)==0)<br />
  {<br />
    ...<br />
  }<br />
}

=====

When I try to compile this code, the strcmp step is throwing an error "cannot convert parameter 1 from 'char' to 'const char *'".

I have tried typecasting parameter 1 as:
if(strcmp((const char*)szExtract, varInput)==0)

This way, the code compiles, but fails in runtime with unhandled exception error. I am unable to understand how to solve this issue.

Could anyone kindly offer me some suggestions.

cheers,
sanK

It looks like CS_CHAR is a single character not a string. If so then sending it to strcmp is not going to work.

Hello Everybody,

Thank you for your responses. I must say I had tried to be too specific and had missed out to mention that szExtract is an array. I am very sorry for this mistake. The actual piece of code goes like this:

<br />
short CSQLBox::fnTest(const TCHAR *varInput)<br />
{<br />
  exec sql begin declare section;<br />
  CS_CHAR szExtract[10];<br />
  exec sql end declare section;<br />
<br />
  szExtract[0] = _T('\0');<br />
  <br />
  //szExtract array is populated by Embedded SQL query<br />
  ....<br />
<br />
  //Do string comparison<br />
  for( int j=0; j<5; j++)<br />
  if(strcmp(szExtract[j], varInput)==0)<br />
  {<br />
    ...<br />
  }<br />
}<br />

I am sure I am making some serious mistake, for which this piece couldn't be compiled, but I am not sure what. Could you kindly suggest.

cheers,
sanK

Merging (Linking) two static library

Good day. I am urgent to find a method to make my static library using (or calling) functions from other static library using Visual C++ 6.0.

I was given a header file and a static library file, for most of the time during application development, I just need to #include the header file and make my project setings link to static library.

But when developing a static library, I found that my project settings cannot link to the static library as Visual C++ 6.0 project settings does't show the link tab.

Is there anyway for me to call the function inside a static library from a static library?

Exactly.

Alternatively, you could add

#pragma comment( lib, "libname")

to your headerfile.
This is a Microsoft specific way of forcing the linker to include the lib given.

Hi George,

Thank you for your reply. If I included #pragma comment(lib, "libname") into my static library file, will the compiler compile everything into one static library?

Update:
I have two static libraries right now (LibraryA.lib and LibraryB.lib). I tried to put #pragma comment(lib, "LibraryA.lib") into LibraryB.h and compile.

The result is the size of LibraryB.lib does not increase...

This will be resolved when you use this library in your final project. In that case, you will need to link against both libraries (otherwise you'll get linking errors).

In the project that will use the libraries (which in turn uses the second library), you will need to specify in the project options that the project uses both A.lib and B.lib even if it only uses A.lib directly.
