my method to optimize application startup performance

Hello everyone,

I found that for an application, if I specify the entry point function (e.g. main), the performance of startup will be greatly improved.

My questions are,

1. If no entry point is specified, how will debugger of Visual Studio find the entry point function? Will the time to search entry point function long?

For example, in my application, I defined the main function like this,

int main(void)

how will debugger treat main as the start point to execute (I set a break point to this function if I do not specify the entry point, then after a couple of minutes after pressing F5 to trigger debugger, debugger will jumps to main)?

If I specify the entry point to main, then debugger will directly jumps to this function after F5 debugging.

2. Specify entry point is a way to improve performance?

thanks in advance,
George

You are skipping the Windows-startup-code. That may or may not be a problem for a simple test application of a complexity comparable with "Hello World!". It will be for any real application.

Let's think the unthinkable, let's do the undoable, let's prepare to grapple with the ineffable itself, and see if we may not eff it after all.

Hi jhwurmbach,

What are the startup code and the function of the code? Any impact if I skip it? Could you provide more information please?

regards,
George

The startup code is what makes you code into a windows-specific program.
You can get away without it, if your program e.g. gets some command-line arguments, reads a certain file and writes it back.
As long as you stick to old c-lib or C++-lib functions, there is no need to be windows proprietary.

CDatabase's ExecuteQuery

Hello,

I have a CDatabase object.
CDatabase CurrentDatabase;
The table has columns LOCATION,PRODUCTS,t,Demand
In the following "FirstQuarter" is the variable which will have the sum of Demand.

CString Query = CString("SELECT SUM(Demand) as ") +
"FirstQuarter" +
" FROM " +
TableDemand +
"WHERE LOCATION = Mumbai"+
"AND PRODUCT = LPG +
"t = Jan OR t=Feb OR t=Mar";
CurrentDatabase.ExecuteSQL(Query);

Now how can I get this variable FirstQuarter in my own variable?.

Hello,

I have sort of understod but can you tell me the which type of objects are these pCommand,pRecordset .

Is _RecordsetPtr a MFC class ?

And how can I connect my object(of class CDatabase) with all of these objects?

Thanks

i configured fisrt service failure action of "alerter" servie as "Action Run Command" with commandline "C:\\myfile.exe" ,using services.msc under winxp .
i tried to retrieve the filename using the following code ...

int main()
{

	BYTE* Buf = NULL ;	
	DWORD dwNeeded	= 0 , dw = 0 ;

	SC_HANDLE hSCManager , hService ;
	
	hSCManager	= OpenSCManager( NULL , SERVICES_ACTIVE_DATABASE , SC_MANAGER_ALL_ACCESS ) ;
	hService	= OpenService( hSCManager , "Alerter" , SERVICE_ALL_ACCESS ) ;

	QueryServiceConfig2( hService , SERVICE_CONFIG_FAILURE_ACTIONS , (LPBYTE)Buf , 0 , &dwNeeded ) ;
	
	printf( "BufSize = %d\n" , dwNeeded ) ;

	Buf = new BYTE[ dwNeeded ] ;
	
	if( QueryServiceConfig2( hService , SERVICE_CONFIG_FAILURE_ACTIONS , (LPBYTE)Buf , dwNeeded , &dw ) )
	{
		for( int i = 0 ; i < ((SERVICE_FAILURE_ACTIONS*)Buf)->cActions ; i ++ ) 
		{
			if( ((SERVICE_FAILURE_ACTIONS*)Buf)->lpsaActions[ i ].Type == SC_ACTION_RUN_COMMAND )
			{			
				if( ((SERVICE_FAILURE_ACTIONS*)Buf)->lpCommand )
				{
					printf( "Actions : %d\nFile : %s\n" , ((SERVICE_FAILURE_ACTIONS*)Buf)->cActions , ((SERVICE_FAILURE_ACTIONS*)Buf)->lpCommand ) ;
				}

			}
		}
	}

	printf( "%d" , (sizeof(SC_ACTION) )) ;

	if( Buf )
		delete[] Buf ;

	CloseServiceHandle( hService ) ;
	CloseServiceHandle( hSCManager ) ;
}

i got the output

BufSize = 78
Actions : 3
File :

//can any one tell me where is the problem in my code ? why i was unable to retrieve filename ?

Intercepting media stream from a running application

How can I intercept the media stream when an application like media player starts playing a movie, so that the encoded stream can be send to a remote client?

I don't know about intercepting a media stream - that's a hack.

You can, however, use the Windows Media SDKs[^] to manipulate media streams
