Advapi32.dll
As what I understand by reading the Microsoft Cryptographic Service Provider Development Kit manual, in order for me to perform signing I need to replace the advapi32.dll in c:\windows\system32 folder.
For Windows 2000, from the manual – I need to rename the current advapi32 to advapi32.bak. Then I expand it the appreciate advapi32.dll for the test platform and replace it in the c:\windows\system32 directory.
For Windows XP and Vista, can I do it the same way/do I also need to replace the advapi32.dll for the purpose to test the signing process?
I try to do it in Vista, but I get a warning message seems that not allowed to modify any files in c:\windows\system32 directory.
UAC in Vista
After I get stuck to replace the advapi32.dll in Vista, one of my colleague told me that it is not necessary to replace the advapi32.dll coz it is only for the purpose to test the signing. So I start to register the dll in Vista. But I got the error msg -the module “mimoscsp.dll” was loaded but the call to DllregisterServer failed with error code 0x800900006-.
I check from the net and I found out that it might be regarding the UAC in Vista. So, I’ve tried to look from net and find out that I need to create a manifest file.
So, my manifest file is like this:
<assembly xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1" manifestversion="1.0">
<ms_asmv2:trustinfo xmlns:ms_asmv2="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v2">
<ms_asmv2:security>
<ms_asmv2:requestedprivileges>
<ms_asmv2:requestedexecutionlevel level="asInvoker">
But I still get the same error.
I already try to run the cmd prompt in Vista-Run as Administrator – but still get the same error.
I try to run VS Studio 2005-Run as Administrator, compile the file, replace to file in c:\windows\system32 – register the dll-> but still get error.
And now I’m stuck. I’m not sure what direction should I take now. Hope you can give opinion about this. Thanks.

Greetings fellow coders!
Any ideas how i could drop (like in drag-drop) a file onto any application that can receive dropped files programatically? I know this has been asked a few times already but i didn't find any answers yet. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Hi,
I need help in reading a cvs tag/tag name of a file from the C++ program. The OS is Linux.
It would be great even if it is an idea of how to do this?
Thanks in advance.

I'm not sure what type of file that is, but with C++ you can read files using an ifstream object.

Problem is how to get the most recent tag read. if i run a cvs command, it gives me lot of information regarding the tags. But i can't get the most recent tag. And again I have to read the output from the standard output, which is little bit complicated.
Any suggestions?

it is a list of tags. example below,
for example
CODE_1-2-0:1.0.0.1
CODE_1-1-4:1.0.0.1
CODE_1-1-3:1.0.0.1
CODE_1-1-2:1.0.0.1
CODE_1-1-1:1.0.0.1
CODE_1-1-0:1.0.0.1
this will be standard output. and i have to read 1-2-0. This is a command output of cvs log <filename>

So read each line, and if the first 10 characters are "CODE_1-2-0", you've got a match.

Do you have a variable? If you do then you have a reference to it.
void foo(int &bar)
{
bar += 3;
}
int main()
{
int bar = 3;
foo(bar);
int *ptr = &bar;
foo (*ptr);
return 0;
}
You may be right
I may be crazy

That is exactly the problem : I do'nt have a variable.
in my case, the function fo is a callback triggered by external code (that cannot be changed).
i have a local function F1 where i would like it to trigger that callback,same as the external code does. The aim is to enable two scenarios to be handled together. Problem is that even if that function F1 would not require to pass a certain parameter, and that neither the processing code in the callbackwould need to collect its content at that case, then the parameter is a reference to a class type which constructor is private (meaning I cannot simply instantiate a temporary var then pass it). Adds to that the fact that the external code can't be changed and it even does not expose a class factory for that type.
Are there any workaround though ?
Thank you.

Please post some code, the above scenario is soooooo funny!

OK.

This is (of course) up to you. I was pointing out that our replies were indeed reasonable, since you possibly want to insist on bad design, and providing a cluttered scenario to justify your choice. You're basically saying (roughly):"Ok this is an ugly trick but I want it because my scenario is complex", that is bad design.
I hope toxcct is not looking at this thread, since I'm doing desing philosophical statements.

If it was not because of the "possibly" adverb, then I would have felt accused. I am a good guy standing on the hand of those who worries about good design ( for the least).

Well, I give a chance even to the worst coder  (I'm kidding).

You're a good guy who possibly needs a deeper knowledge about OOP.

Usually functions are declared that way to be certain that an existing object is provided, because otherwise it would not serve any point of calling the function. Compare with the copy constructor.
If you feel you should call that function without a valid object to pass as reference, you have either misunderstood what the function does or the one who declared it didn't understand the concept of references.
