reinterpret_cast is the right one for this situation, since you're converting between a pointer and a non-pointer type.

Hi,
in the process of running my program is allocating a lot of memory (gigabytes). After it reaches a certain size strange things start to happen so I'm trying to debug it. I have some questions.
1. To my surprise new operator does not return NULL on error. It seems to throw an exception. When did this happen? What's the exception object? I'm using VS 8.
2. Is new a thread safe operator? What if I'm using some libraries that most likely use malloc. Is memory allocation still thread safe? I'm using dynamic link run time for my program and hopefully all the libraries. If some library is using a different run-time but I don't free its memory is that fine?
3. What is the memory allocation limit for a process in Windows XP? Is it 2 GB? Or RAM + swap space?
4. Any free GUI profilers out there?
Thanks for your help.

I thought it was a lot longer ago, but according to the docs:
"In Visual C++ .NET 2002, the new function in the Standard C++ Library will support
the behavior specified in the C++ standard, which is to throw a std::bad_alloc exception
if the memory allocation fails. In Visual C++ 2005, the C Runtime Library's new function will also throw a std::bad_alloc
exception if the memory allocation fails.
If you still want the non-throwing version of new for the C Runtime Library, link your program
with nothrownew.obj. However, when you link with nothrownew.obj, new in the Standard C++
Library will no longer function."

In the Multithread CRT, Yes. Any third-party library, well...

Sounds to me like you have some serious memory leakage. Make sure you call delete on every time you allocate using new.
Try this[^] utility, it's excellent for finding leaks.
As for your questions:
1. use try catch blocks.
2. yes.
3. Usually RAM, but not too sure...

That's the way it is supposed to work - it throws bad_alloc. If you want to get a NULL instead, use nothrow[^]

Yes. Yes. Yes.

In practice, less then 2GB[^] (BTW, who would vote down that text and why  )

Try GlowCode.

Hello, I wanted to know if there's a way to embed databases into an executable file. How do you do it (I'd really appreciate it if you explain the way for both Sql Server and MySql, if they're different ways)? Is it recommended?
Thanks.
Perrin.

The engine ? Me think not really, but i'm no DB expert.
|
|
|
|
|
What I mean is to have a resulting exe that does not depend on the server (MySql or SQL Server) being installed in the user's computer, but still makes use of those databases.
|
|
|
|
|
SQL Server 2005 Express apperently can be embedded with an application. Look for the details at MSDN.
As for MySQL, it is easy: Embedded MySQL[^]

I want hide or disable MyComputer or drives of the computer so that, after restarting the computer , MyComputer or drives is restored to normal state (visible/enable)
can any body help me?

you can hide MyComputer from the desktop or from the start menu by doing the following :
user key:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\
NonEnum]
sys key: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\
NonEnum]
name: {20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}
type: REG_DWORD (Valeur DWORD)
value: (0 = show, 1 = hide)

Is there any API getting the filename and subfolder on a Folder?
|
|
|
|

Yes. Use the FindFirstFile()/FindNextFile() pair, or the CFileFind MFC class.

In case you are looking for sdk api, you can use FindFirstFile and FindNextFile.

And see DlgDirList function.

Hi people,
I have got new project. The thing is to comunicate my last VC++ 6 programm with a PLC of Siemens. To do that I have to create a connection through serial port to the MPI adapter or to connect both (PC and PLC) through Ethernet.
The fact is that there already is an old DLL that was programmed to be used with VB 4 in the firm, but my project has been programmed in VC++ 6.
I would like to find good info about integrating extern DLL into a VC++ project  , to know if I will have problems with the compatibility using that DLL and where can I find information about how to translate it to the needed one.
Any suggestion, web, tutorial... will be very wellcome. ![Rose | [Rose]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/rose.gif)
Thanks.
P.S. Concrete questions will come soon  :P

In past I had the opposite problem: I developed a dll in C++ and I was trying to use it from a VB program.
Then I found that only 'standard dlls' (written in C++) can be used from a VB application. The reason is mainly on how data structs are passed to the functions in the dll. The only way was to declare the functions as "extern C".
You have to do this in the opposite way: find a way to create a standard dll in basic, then you can use it in C++.
Have you got the code of the dll? Can you recompile it?
Elseway, can you prepare a wrapper (in basic) to call the functions on the old dll, and compile it as a standard dll?

Yes,
the DLL is in the archives of the firm. It works with an old programm, but I made an upgrade to VC++ 6 of that programm as final studies project, and now I need to connect my programm with a S7-Plc. I can get the code of the old DLL, but I'm completely newbie with that (never used / seen a DLL internally) and I have not much time. The complete project has to be ready before New Year's Eve  sigh:
