I've created an array of unsigned chars as a parity table. During program initialization, I originally memset the array to all zeros. In the same init sequence, I set elements of the array to one to signify that the parity bit should be set for that particular value.
// in header file
#define RADAR_PARITYTBLSZ 4096
unsigned char RadarParityTable[RADAR_PARITYTBLSZ];
// in .C file
// Initialize parity table for 12 bit radar msgs and 1 bit of parity
memset(&RadarParityTable, 0, sizeof(RadarParityTable));
for(i = 0; i < RADAR_PARITYTBLSZ; i++)
if(ComputeParity(i) == 0) // this returns 0 if value of i is even
RadarParityTable[i] = 1;
The problem is that the last element of the array, in this case [4095], (the array is 4096 bytes in size, is mysteriously set to 0x20 instead of 1. I'm using odd parity so the parity for a value of 0xfff or 4095 -- 12 binary bits set means add one to it to make it odd.
I set a breakpoint right after the code above in the init sequence and Quickwatch says ALL of the values are zero. Later when I compare parity to the parity table in another module and use quickwatch, the value for that element is 0x20. The only way I was able to fix this was to increase the size of the array by 1 to 4097, initialize the first 4096 elements the same as before, and then all of the values in the array were correct even the last one. I even tried adding this line of code below in the init sequence but it didn't work.
RadarParityTable[RADAR_PARITYTBLSZ-1] = 1;
Any ideas why it was set to hex 0x20.

Nothing in the code that you show should have this result.
Why not use a data breakpoint in the debugger to see when the element is being overwritten?
Data breakpoints are set with Edit / BreakPoints and then selecting the Data tab.
Enter as the expression: RadarParityTable[4095]
Best regards,
John

You probably have another array on the atck which is writing beyond its bounds. Take a look at the other vars declared next to your array.

You were right and John Barton's suggestion helped me identify the problem though I still have to find out why. Apparently, that element in the array gets overwritten when I'm using strtok() on some other data. I'm not sure if it's because I'm using strtok in a thread or if I'm doing some bad pointer arithmetic.
I use strtok on a buffer and then later do...
*(p - 1) = ' ';
because I need to place spaces back into the buffer so that I can look for two spaces. It could be that statement. Anyways, thanks for the help, guys.
|
|
|
|
|
*(p - 1) = ' ';
will put a space character in the byte imedieatly preceeding the location pointed to by p. If p is a pointer to the location after your buffer, the last character of your buffer will become a 0x20 (space character).
|
|

|

Yes. That space however is going to the end of the wrong array, RadarParityTable. I have to parse another buffer, a file header, and treat the data differently when it encounters two spaces. Because strtok puts a 0x00 or '\0' at the end of each substring where the token exists, the data will be in EBCDIC when written to disk, I had to replace the spaces that strtok put into it. So, I did as you say put a space preceding the spot where strtok found the next substring of data.
I must be corrupting that memory somehow, though boundschecker active mode is not catching it. Its funny though that changing the size of the RadarParityTable from 4096 to 4097 fixed the problem.

Did you corrected this ???

Sorry, I didn't answer. I did not get to it but I believe that when I don't put the address of operator (&) it says something about parameter 1 not being right. That's why I used &RadarParityTable. I'll check again if I have time tomorrow. I know that parameter 1 should be a void pointer. Thanks

What error message does it exactly give ???
Using '&' is not correct.
Thanks,

You were right Ramu. I had gotten this msg earlier:
'memset' : actual parameter is not a pointer : parameter 1
but that was for a structure. So, when I coded the statement for an array I used the same technique. Now, I see the errors of my way.
|
|
|
|
|
BTW, The way I'm doing it now doesn't give me any warnings and when I breakpoint after the memset, the entire array is equal to zeroes.
|
|
|
|

I fixed it. Thanks, everybody. It turns out that on the very first call to strtok and all subsequent calls, I was placing the '\0' that strtok appends to each substring with a space. However, on the first call to strtok, there is no space (my token) before it, and thus I was placing a space into a memory address where my other array's end element existed.

Hey everybody, I put a post out about my word automation not working. I haven't been able to get past the Link Error so I tried something different. Now, I have this function which puts a button (with a bitmap) onto MS Word. As you can see, I create it dynamically. Now, what I was wondering, how can I capture the event when this button is pressed? I am trying to do an Advise but it doesn't seem to be doing what I want it to do??? I have pasted the header file for the event sink and the actual function which does the Advise. Any ideas? Anything come to mind? Do you think I am making this too complicated and have a better way to go at it? Just let me know, I am knew to COM/ATL/OLE development...

You have to advise the button events (_CommandBarButtonEvents) from m_pButton and add event handlers to the sink map.

I created a stand alone MFC dialog box. After debugging I noticed that m_hWnd is always NULL. I'm trying to get the handle to the dialogbox.
Thanks

This handle will be null until you create the dialog with Create or indirectly with DoModal ---having the CDialog constructed does not suffice.

I am receiving data from a socket server (QNX based) into a VC++ DLL. the data is in the format
struct Data {
short num;
unsigned long value;
char name[33];
}
I am receiving a message containing large numbers of these data strucutres. I can store them fine in my DLL, i have adjusted the byte packing and everything works great. Now, I have to move the data from my DLL into Visual Basic. I have read competing articles (by microsoft) on the proper way to fill a UDT Array passed from vb. I have tried many things including the use of a Type Library.
I would like to pass in a reference to the UDT Array from VB to C++ DLL, and populate it with the data i received from the QNX process. I am having trouble with both fixed strings and variable length strings. Please help. Please Please Please help. This has gotten very frustrating..
Any Help would be greatly appreciated.

I am currently having trouble with MFC
What I am trying to accomplish is as follows; When a user double clicks the mouse on a section of the dialogue window a bitmap would be displayed at the location of the doubleclick.
The Problem; I cant seem to find any code that would allow me to do this. All code I have found either loads a bitmap when the window is created or will not funcion in a dialogue window.
This is my first post here at TheCodeProject. If I did not post in the right place or did not follow a proper convention please let me know so I can remedy it.
Thanks,
Eric

Wow - are we that scary ? You've done well, you've found the right spot. Welcome to CP !!!
You need to load the bitmap into a member variable, then on double click draw it in the correct location. You'd therefore need to store a point to represent where the thing is drawn, and maybe initialise it to -1, -1, and draw only if it is positive numbers, so it appears on the first double click and then moves when you click elsewhere.

Thanks for your quick response.
Just repeating my interpretation of your response.
So make a local var of type CBitmap then map "double left click" and in that function use the CPoints X, Y coordinates and draw the bitmap at that location.
Using the bitmap, (and I think DC mem as well) how do I think display the bitmap?
Do you have a link to some sample code I could look at?
Thanks again for your help

No, you need to store the location as well, so it gets redrawn when the window gets moved, etc.
EBerlin wrote:

In OnEraseDC, call the base method first, then draw the bitmap. Yes, you'll need a memDC to hold the bitmap while drawing

Sorry, no. But if you give that a go and get stuck, I'm happy to help.

Does anyone know what the format of the Outlook Express storage file is or where to find the format for it?
My problem in a nutshell is this: I want to be able to filter out all of the spam emails from my Hotmail accounts. I've looked around and tried many of the shareware/trialware programs out there that claim to do this, but have had no luck with them working. So, instead of trying to find a program that does what I want, I'll have to (try) write one instead. The only problem is that I don't know the format of the DBX files that Outlook Express is using.
Before I spend a lot of time trying to figure out the format by example, I thought I'd see if anyone here knows what it is of has seen it described anywhere. What would be even better is if someone has already written a class that handles this (though I'm not too optomistic about that).
So, can anyone help me with this?
Thanks in advance for any help or pointers!
Mike

Thanks for the response!
If you could post some of the URL's that would be great! I've searched many different times and didn't find anything that I thought was useful. It is entirely possible that I didn't search with the right keywords or that I just overlooked articles with the relevant information.
Thanks again!
