What exactly are you expecting to do with this?  You are passing 1 to malloc(), yet you are trying to stuff, albeit incorrectly, 2 bytes into mainBuf. Why?
Why are you using malloc() with a C++ program. Use new instead:
char *mainBuf = new char[3];
strcpy(mainBuf, "AB");
delete [] mainBuf;

Nope, 'AB' is one byte (it is different than "AB"), this will be truncated to one byte. But I think the compiler should give an error there instead of a warning...

Point taken, but it's wrong nonetheless.

Nope, 'AB' is a short int that will truncated to one byte

I was just playing around with the code, no real application here. Just learning.
I actually started by writing a sample to use a pointer to a pointer. Just to learn how it worked and actually use what I read. I then for some reason decided to stuff 'AB' into what the pointer points to just to see what would happen. I then removed the pointer to pointer part to simplify it before posting the question.
Maybe this just gets into the realm of undefined behavior. I thought perhaps there would be an explanation as to why it does what it does.
Thanks.

I'm sorry no one here has taken the effort to give you a good reply. I also would like to know the answer.
I've never used syntax like 'AB' since I've always dealt with ASCII strings, and the single 'apostophe' returns the character (integer) value of a single character between the marks. I don't know what it does in your context, but appears that perhaps it's playing "little endian" and returning the least-significant byte of a 16-bit value???
Did you try declaring the pointer as a wchar_t* instead? This might work.
Maybe some real coders will see your question in a while and respond with a real answer.

I wrote a C++ code for analyzing texts few years ago and it works perfectly. I am now trying to make it a windows-based application by integrating it into Visual C++ using visual studio. This has been an ache!
I first got
fatal error C1010: Unexpected end of file while looking for precompiled header directive.
It was not too difficult to correct this as there are many similar experiences recorded in various discussion groups on the Internet.
However, when I added #include "stdafx.h" as directed in various responses to the c1010 error on the Internet, I got the following errors
error C2095: syntax error: 'function-style cast'
error C2226: syntax error: unexpected type 'T'
error C2095: syntax error: ')'
and a number of other similar errors.
All these were generated by a code line 1 below:
1 template <class t=""> T max(T x, T,y)
2 {
3 return (x > y) ? x : y;
4 }
any ideas on what could be wrong?

Please, when posting code (and even more when posting template code), replace all the < and > symbols with the formatting tags just aboce the emoticons (otherwise, they won't be visisble).
To your question: didn't you forget a class keyword ? template <class T> T max(T min, T max)

Hi Cedric. You actually only need to replace the < symbol.

Oh well, then that makes things even more easier 
Thanks for the tip.

Unless > and < were eaten in your post, it looks like the syntax for the template is incorrect. It should be something closer to:
template< typename T >
T max( T x, T y ) Peace!

Yes you are right. The angle brackets were eaten up in the post. Cedric Momen pointed this out in his response.
jhwurmbach suggested that I avoid pre compiling the headers. It worked! Thanks every body.

Look at this line closely.

For a hint, try renaming the macro.

Stop! No!
Don't try to precompile your C-Headers.
Instead, switch off precompiled headers, either for the whole project (in the project properties) or for single files (in the properties of the file)

Thanks a million jhwurmbach. You have just halted my one week of sleepless nights.
Thanks also to David Crow, Cedric Moonen and James Twine for all your suggestions.

How can I add an extra button control on the title without affecting existing system menu or without disturbing existing Close button and Icon.
When I tried to handle Non clent paint message, previous button changes its color and state which I don't want.
Is there any way to do this?

Hi All,
I am debugging the program by adding the break point at some function.Suppose I want to find out which function is called when I perform particular actions. Is there any method to identify which function is called at particular event.Because I can not predict which function gets called so I can not add break point at that function.Can we add break point at all function in project by any short cut method of IDE. Please send me solution if anybody have.
Thanks in Advance

Set a breakpoint at the position where the function is called and then use the debugger command "step into".
