It shouldn't but it probably is, CStatic is an MFC class and encapsulates a Window/Ctrl as well. Firstly you don't need all that overhead and secondly that places all sorts of restrictions on what you can and can't do with the class and introduces assumptions on the part of exisitng MFC code about how your class will behave, even that its first data member will be a hWnd. I still don't understand exactly why you're seeing what you're seeing but I would definitely start with a properly 'vanilla' log file calss that doesn't inherit from an already complex MFC class.
Nothing is exactly what it seems but everything with seems can be unpicked.

Yes, it would be good to eliminate that possibility - I'll regenerate the class without inheritance and see what happens ! Thanks for the suggestion !

As suggested, I made the following three changes to CLogFile:-
1------------------------------------------------------------
class CLogFile //: public CStatic 20080208
{
// Construction
2--------------------------------------------------------------
// DECLARE_MESSAGE_MAP() 20080208
3-------------------------------------------------------------
/* 20080208
BEGIN_MESSAGE_MAP(CLogFile, CStatic)
//{{AFX_MSG_MAP(LogFile)
// NOTE - the ClassWizard will add and remove mapping macros here.
//}}AFX_MSG_MAP
END_MESSAGE_MAP()
*/
I am sorry to say the problem remains as before !!!

Could you also post the code wherein exception happens?

I can't really post the code where the exception happens ! Execution proceeds through CLogFile, exits OnDraw() and enters basic Windows code As I said in my original posting, I traced through the code and eventually into (windows) assembler and hit that call where the debugger would not step to. A copy of this line in the debugger is:-
7E41B517 call 7E4194A4
and the target of the call is the last byte of the first instruction below (assuming the disassembly is correct) :-
7E4194A1 or eax,dword ptr [esi+edi*2-75h]
7E4194A5 inc esp
7E4194A6 and al,4
7E4194A8 int 2Bh
Up to this pooint the memory window shows that the CLogFile member variable locations hold correct values. Execution past this point results in corrupted values. I'm baffled !!

(I don't know where my last posting went to !!!!)
I can't post the code where the 0xc00000005 exception occurs because it is somewhere in windows assembler (I assume !) Execution proceeds through CLogFile::Add() returns to OnDraw(), exits from that, exits from CView::OnPaint(), executes the CPaintDC destructor, exits OnWndMsg(), exits CWnd::WindowProc(), exits AfxCallWndProc(), exits AfxWndProc(), exits AfxProcBase() and then enters assembler and executes the following 4 code segments:-
1------------------------------------------------
7E418734 mov ecx,dword ptr fs:[18h]
7E41873B and byte ptr [ecx+0FB4h],0
7E418742 cmp dword ptr [esp+4],0DCBAABCDh
7E41874A jne 7E440378
7E418750 add esp,8
7E418753 pop ebx
7E418754 pop edi
7E418755 pop esi
7E418756 pop ebp
7E418757 ret 14h
2------------------------------------------------
7E418816 mov dword ptr [ebp-1Ch],eax
7E418819 or dword ptr [ebp-4],0FFh
7E41881D call 7E418841
7E418822 mov eax,dword ptr [ebp-1Ch]
7E418825 call 7E418600
7E41882A ret 20h
3---------------------------------------------------
7E41B4C0 mov dword ptr [ebp-1Ch],eax
7E41B4C3 mov eax,dword ptr [ebp-1Ch]
7E41B4C6 call 7E418600
7E41B4CB ret 14h
4-------------------------------------------------
7E41B50C push 0
7E41B50E push 0Ch
7E41B510 pop edx
7E41B511 lea ecx,[ebp-0Ch]
7E41B514 mov dword ptr [ebp-0Ch],eax
7E41B517 call 7E4194A4
----------------------------------------------------
The debugger will NOT step into this last call
The target of this call is the last byte of the first instruction below:-
7E4194A1 or eax,dword ptr [esi+edi*2-75h]
7E4194A5 inc esp
7E4194A6 and al,4
7E4194A8 int 2Bh
etc .......
This is clearly wrong, and will lead to mis-execution and presumably the 0xc000005 eventually

Could it be that OnDraw() is called so often that CLogFile code can't keep up?

Don't see how - I'm running to a break point on the LogFile->Add() function within OnDraw(). Invoke second refresh of screen by maximising it, and off we go through the path that I described earlier and end up at that Call to bad assembler code. Are there any "no, no's " for code within OnDraw() or in OnPrepareDC() functions, or any timing restrictions (we obviously have to access a file) ???

Hello everyone,
Now compiler prevents (at least in Visual Studio 2008) us from initialize non-const static member variable in this way,
Class Foo {
statuc int i = 200;
...
};
Anyone know why compiler prevents initialize non-const variable in this way? Any side effects or just a fixed rule from C++ Spec?
thanks in advance,
George

As far as I know it's per the spec. Allowing intialization at declaration at all is a fairly recent concession, you couldn't do it in VC6. It makes sense to only allow static const initialisation as that is really the same as declaration.
In the past header files tended to be stuffed with namespace polluting #defines like
#define DEFAULT_ARRAY_SIZE 42.
Now you can add
static const int s_iDefaultArraySize = 200;
to your class declaration instead, much nicer

Why it is namespace polluting? It is defined in the global/default namespace?

Exactly because it's defined in the global/default namespace and it is NOT really global or shouldn't be. What if I include a third party header file which also has
#define DEFAULT_ARRAYSIZE 400 - potential disaster.
One of the principles of good OO programming is 'locality of reference' which basically means a name should only be defined for the scope where it is meant to be used. That was the whole point of introducing namespace into C++ (which also didn't work in VC6) so that myLib::CString could exist in the same project as CString from MFC and the correct reference can always be resolved rather than refering to whichever one was included first or most recently.

No that is not what the Locality of Reference or Principle of Locality[^] is about at all.
In computer science, locality of reference, also known as the principle of locality, is the phenomenon of the same value or related storage locations being frequently accessed. There are three basic types of locality of reference: temporal, spatial and sequential:

Four types, the fourth being codespace, scope and extent, the principle is exactly the same it's just another virtual dimensionality.

Thanks Matthew,
So, your answer to my original question is, it is according to C++ Spec that non-const static variable is not allowed to be initialized at the time when it is declared, right?
I am interested in what the Spec says, could you help to quote the related C++ Spec please?

George

Hi,
The 2005 compiler alsoo treats this as an error.
Now the why (Found this on the Net[^]):
"If a static data member is of const integral or const enumeration type, its
declaration in the class definition can specify a constant-initializer which
shall be an integral constant expression. In that case, the member can
appear in integral constant expressions within its scope. The member shall
still be defined in a namespace scope if it is used in the program and the
namespace scope definition shall not contain an initializer."
So the only relaxation is that for static const integral/enum types you can
get away with the definition if you don't use them in their program i.e.
don't treat them as l-values. The key point you are missing is that the
member can still appear in integral constant expressions (like case label).
So this clause is just a relaxation applicable only with integral constant
expressions.
I think the next sample while explain it more:
class MaxBuffer
{
public:
const static int Max = 80;
int m_iBuffer[Max];
};
class ErrorBuffer
{
public:
static int Max;
int m_iBuffer[Max];
};
codito ergo sum

Thanks BadKarma,
1.
I read the document you quoted. What means "integral constant expression"?
2.
BadKarma wrote: don't treat them as l-values
Means for const static member variable, they are not l-value? Actually, I do not agree since for the const static member variable, it is addressable, so it should be a l-value.
Here is my code to verify,
class Foo{
public:
const static int size = 100;
};
int main()
{
cout << &(Foo::size);
return 0;
}

George

They are alsoo known as compile time constants. Look at int const guidelines (boost)[^]

This is not correct.
The meaning of l-value is : on the left side of an assignment.
Since its a const it can't be on the left side. Whether you got the address where that value
is stored doesn't matter. If you try to use it in any way on the left side of an expression
you would have an access violation. I'm guessing the value is placed in an read only segment
of memory.

Thanks BadKarma!
Great reply. I have re-read what you quoted in the Spec before, I am confused about what does the following statement mean?
(what makes me confused is in a class, which type of statement could be looked as definition, and which type of statement could be looked as declaration?)
"get away with the definition if you don't use them in their program"

George

Sir,
My COM class not getting registered.
Iam trying to register the COM DLL with .regsvr32.
It is not displaying either Dll Registered or Failed messge.
So, when i try to create instance of thet class, using CoCreateInstance
it returned Failure Code -2147221164 , that means Class not registered.
I want to know the reasons of CoCreateInstance failure.
Help me Plz.
Krishna.

Iam trying to debug this COMDll from my application .So that iam trying to crate instance of this COM DLL
just like this
CoInitialize(NULL);<br />
BSTR str;<br />
<br />
IDUOleServerImpl *pDXOLEServer;<br />
<br />
<br />
HRESULT hr = CoCreateInstance(CLSID_DUOleServerImpl, NULL, CLSCTX_ALL,<br />
IID_IDUOleServerImpl, (LPVOID *)&pDXOLEServer);<br />
if( !pDXOLEServer )<br />
{ <br />
szResponse ="Problem in Creating the DXOLE Engine Server";<br />
<br />
return ;<br />
}<br />
<br />
<br />
pDXOLEServer->ExecuteRequest(10001,bstrConnectionInfo,&str);<br />
But in my application is not be able to locate the server and throwing an error code -2147221164 i.e Class not registered.
But If i try to register the COM DLL for CmdLine Regsvr32, it is not throwing any success or failure notice.
Still iam mess up with this problem .
Please look at this.

U can create COM Object only if it is successfully Registered.
If u r debugging in this way u cannot find out the installation problem.
u need to debug the DLL while registering it.
Royaltvk wrote: But If i try to register the COM DLL for CmdLine Regsvr32, it is not throwing any success or failure notice.
may be this is because infinite loop, deadlock in the registration path
