does this works for you
char vl_sData1[111],vl_sData[1233];
sprintf(sData,"Hello World\n")
sscanf(sData,"%[^\n]" , vl_sData1)

You are only partialy correct. When scanf() is processing a %s format specifier, it will continue until it encounters a whitespace character. If there are any more format specifiers, those will then get processed.

Use gets() function.
It will scan the string till you will press enter key.

internal working of "sizeof()" operator

Hi,
how does "sizeof" operator works internally?

Thanks

The compiler "knows" the sizes of all types that are native, or have been declared up to that point. It merely substitutes an integer constant in place of the sizeof expression at compile-time. Unless you're talking about reflection or RTTI (run-time type identification), all the size information is known at compile time, so there is no run-time involvement; just a simple substitution. Much like using a #define or a const.

Hope this helps.

exception handling

Daniel Kanev2-Oct-07 23:47

2-Oct-07 23:47

I do not know a way to get all exceptions.

try
{
}
catch(CException *e){}

is not working for all exceptions. If I put catch(...) it is ok but I cannot get the error message this way.
Do you know what I can put in the catch () so that I can handle all exceptions having their messages.
Thank you!

In order to catch everything, you need to look at the docs for the function which is throwing the exception and then add a catch statement specific for that.

try<br />
{<br />
}<br />
catch(CException *e)<br />
{<br />
}<br />
catch(LPTSTR szErr)<br />
{<br />
}<br />
catch(...)<br />
{<br />
}

Exactly how does that get the text of the exception being thrown?

Token privlages

Waldermort2-Oct-07 21:10

2-Oct-07 21:10

I'm trying to enable the SE_TCB_NAME privilage within the token of my process, but for some reason after the call to AdjustTokenPrivilages() GetLastError returns ERROR_NOT_ALL_ASSIGNED. My program is running in elevated mode so I can't understand why I am unable to set this.

Is there something I am missing?

Waldermort

Re: Token privlages

Sachinpatole3-Oct-07 0:31

The AdjustTokenPrivileges function cannot add new privileges to the access token. It can only enable or disable the token's existing privileges. To determine the token's privileges, call the GetTokenInformation function.

[Clarified]what does this convention mean?

chandu0042-Oct-07 21:05

2-Oct-07 21:05

in some of the source codes, i came across defining a function like this.
int function(int a,...);
can any body explain me the significance and use of the above convention?
thanks.

See here[^]. Basically it's used to define a function which takes a variable amount of arguments.

Re: what does this convention mean?

chandu0042-Oct-07 21:15

2-Oct-07 21:15

thank you stephen,
but can you narrate an example, where this sort of convention can be used.

Re: what does this convention mean?

Stephen Hewitt2-Oct-07 21:19

2-Oct-07 21:19

There's sample code at the bottom of the link. printf and sprintf use this construct: both functions take a variable number of arguments.

Steve

[Clarified] Thanks

chandu0042-Oct-07 21:26

2-Oct-07 21:26

so nice of you for the example.
i will try to implement it in my applications and post back if any more doubts are there.
thank you.

Microsoft has forgotten to include the standard va_copy() function/macro. See http://www.codeproject.com/script/comments/forums.asp?forumid=1647&mpp=50&select=2255221&df=100&fr=51[^]

va_copy() is required in a function like vprintf (which is probably how printf is actually implemented on most systems:

int printf( const char* format, ... )
{
   int ret;
   va_list args;
   va_start( args, format );
   ret = vprintf( format, args );
   va_end( args );
   return ret;
}

)
but unlike vprintf, you need to traverse the va_list more than once. There is no portable way to restart the argument traversal process without the va_copy() macro.

In my program, I went ahead and wrote:

#include <stdarg.h>
#ifndef va_copy
// This is exasperation driven because Visual Studio doesn't have it.  
// IT MAY NOT ALWAYS WORK (although it is working in testing).
#  define va_copy(dest,src) ((dest)=(src))
#endif

This may be confusing to a newbie to the subject, but if you program long enough, and you try to factor your code correctly, you're going to run into this situation.
