How to output string into a file? My part of code is belowLook at the last line, it is not ok.)
// Open the file ready write
if((pOutputFileStream = fopen(csFilePath, "w")) != NULL)
bStatus = TRUE;
// Otherwise output message to the console window.
else
{
printf("The output %s file is not available!", csFilePath);
bStatus = FALSE;
}
if (bStatus)
{
// STL string.
string str = vNode.back ();
cout << str << endl;
//
// this line is not ok.
//
fprintf(pOutputFileStream, "%s", str.substr);
}
Thanks.

You're using C++ to output to the console, and C to output to the file. Use iostreams instead.
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <string>
using std::string;
using std::ofstream;
...
string s("This is a test of the veracity of my system");
ofstream op("c:\\test.txt");
op << s;
// can call op.close(), but the destructor does it anyhow.

Hello,
My projects doesn't seem to be using MFC, although I made a redist. of my project and I get an error on MSVCR70.dll
In my project settings, in: Use Of MFC, I have: Use Standard Windows Librairies.
Why do I have a dependency on MFC anyways???
Thanks!

Um, MSVCR70 isn't MFC, it is part of the C runtime library. If you want to get rid of that, build the project using static libraries and not dynamic.

Where do I set that? In: Use of ATL I have: Static link to ATL already...
Thanks!
EDIT: I think I found it... it's in Minimise CRT use in ATL...

Minimize CRT use in ATL
Do I set it to Yes or No? If I set it to Yes, I get soooo many errors when I compile/link the project!!!

My main problem is how do I pass a pointer of my connection object to the childviews, where the pointer is a public member of my childframe.
Is there some way from my view that I could get a reference of the parent childframe?
Can somebody please help me.
|
|
|
|
|
Send the pointer via message.

I have read the threads on this site and searched google for information on using an stl map (and set) class in a DLL. I am not sure that what I want to do can be done or is safe. Here is the situation:
I have 2 classes:
#ifdef USING_FROM_EXE
#define EXPORT_OR_IMPORT_CLASS _declspec(dllimport)
#else
#define EXPORT_OR_IMPORT_CLASS _declspec(dllexport)
#endif
class EXPORT_OR_IMPORT_CLASS CMyClass
{
protected:
std::map<DWORD, CMyOtherClass> SomeMember;
std::set<CMyOtherClass> SomeOtherMember;
};
class EXPORT_OR_IMPORT_CLASS CMyOtherClass
{
bla.bla.bla
}
There are methods of the CMyClass class for adding/removing/finding items in the map and set which are not returing the map or iterators, just results.
When I compile the code I get a compiler warning
<pre>
warning C4251: bla.bla.bla needs to have dll-interface to be used by clients of class 'CMyClass'
</pre>
I have downloaded the XTree header file from the dinkumware web site and rebuilt the project, but I still get this error. (I am currently exporting a vector and a list of other object types using the MSDN recommended method.) If I add export lines to the code, I get a new warning C4251.
Is it possible to export a STL set or a map from a DLL in the way which I am attempting? If so, what is the recommended way of doing it? If not, is there another way to acheive what I want? If no, what good is STL if you can't use it in a DLL safely?
Thanks,
Matt Gullett

I do not think that it is a good idea to export STL objects from a DLL. You may run into memory allocation/deallocation and threading problems.

Thanks for the reply, but what do you base this on. I have reviewed the "limited" info on MSDN and it seems that you are right, BUT if I can't have objects in my DLLs exported because they use STL, then STL is a HUGE waste of time.
I mean, if I can't take a utility class that uses STL from a console app (or any other EXE for that matter) and put it in a DLL so it can be reused by other apps, what good is STL to me?
Someone please tell me this is not the case.

There are known problems with std::map. It uses a local static structure to mark nodes. The DLL might have one copy while the EXE will have another. This can cause problems when std::map tries to detect certain conditions based on if a pointer references this static structure.
Templates that don't use static structures or variables should have little problem being exported.

You can make a thin class wrapper over your class which contains the maps and export the class wrapper instead. The class wrapper will new an instance of your class in its constructor and delete it in the destructor. In this way you can hide the implementation details which are exposed in the header file of your actual clas.

I have used stl map and set across dlls successfully.
My compiler says on warning C4251:
'class' : multiple copy constructors specified
The class has multiple copy constructors of a single type. The first constructor is used.
I am confused on what your really problem is!

According to the MSDN July 2001 (??). If it matters, I am using Visual Studio 6 with SP5.
Compiler Warning (level 1) C4251
'identifier' : class 'type' needs to have dll-interface to be used by clients of class 'type2'
The specified base class was not declared with the __declspec(dllexport) keyword.
A base class or structure must be declared with the __declspec(dllexport) keyword if a function in a derived class is to be exported.
|
|
|
|
|
Yes, you are right, I was looking on C:4521
Do you export the classes that the map contains also?
Best regards,

Another method besides Joaquin suggestion is to utilize the pimpl idiom as mentioned by Herb Sutter (http://gotw.ca[^]) (I believe it's called a compiler firewall in terms of design patterns).
Basically the pimpl (pimpl = pointer to implementation) idiom separates the implementation details from the interface definition.
Look at this class for instance:
class TheClass {
int member;
public:
void DoSomething();
};
All that the clients can do is call DoSomething(). Clients can't touch member, but it can still observe it. This means that all changes to the private parts of the class is visible to all clients - thus you'd have to recompile all depending cpp files.
The pimpl idiom eliminates this by putting the implementation details in the cpp file rather than in the h file.
Example:
struct Impl;
class TheClass {
std::auto_ptr<Impl> pimpl;
public:
TheClass();
void DoSomething();
};and
struct Impl {
int member;
};
TheClass::TheClass() : pimpl(new Impl) { }
void TheClass::DoSomething() { manipulate(pimpl->member); }
Now you can change anything in your implementation details without the clients noticing it.
From this, it's obvious that you should put the STL-containers in the Impl-struct, thus saving yourself some export-problems.
It's a little bit more typing, but it's a clean way to separate interface from implementation - a very big plus in HUGE projects. (Picture the happy faces on 20 programmers in a project after you've fiddle with the private parts of a common class which many source files depend on.. )

Yes it is actually.
And whats even better; I get to call myself a pimpl programmer.

I have some minor points to add, fist, it adds another layer of indirection, so it is slower.
Second, it adds normally 4 or more bytes of overhead, it could be 7(struct {char,struct pimpl* pimpl_}) ,due to alignment on 4 bytes boundaries on 32 bits systems, not counting on the non portable pragmas  , it could consume even more memory if a back pointer is used, it have also more performance overhead due to construction/destruction of the pimpl object, even with a custom allocator.
Of course it's great to reduce recompilation time and and protecting from a nasty full rebuild when on large projects,and in some scenarios is a good solution to exception problems, but it must be used with the full notion when to apply or not, it's not the solution for all problems, like .NET is

Yes it is slower. But not much slower.
Joao Vaz wrote:

Well it's a solution for many cases. I'm sure it is possible to hack something up using macros that allows you to use pimpl during debug builds and "straight impl" during release builds. So you can virtually get away with anything.

Yup, and faster with a custom allocator (normally with placement new suffices)
Jörgen Sigvardsson wrote:

Fair enough, compilation times much faster, interface more clearly separated since it's a Handle/Body derivative , and useful in providing off-the-self exception safe mechanisms , so it's have a lot of god uses, btw I didn't say the opposite
Jörgen Sigvardsson wrote:

I suggest another alternative, template classes with zero overhead with static release do-nothing dumb functions , a nop that is optimized away by the compiler , for instance ATL uses it (debugging,multithreading ... )

I'm particularly in a good mood, as you known I have been laid off and in the end of november I had to go to the unemployment , the normal cut of expenses reduction mambo jumbo , but yesterday I received my late payments from my former company, my payoff that I'll receive is a nice sum, I received a job offer from the company where I'm developing the product(a great suprise,normally they don't do this, they don't have any programmer and normally all programming work is outsourced, if I accept I'm the only programmer  , they have seem all the hard work and late hours that I have being doing ) , and today I'll go to a interview to a company where I didn't send my cv, they have contacted me , because they liked my resume, a bit ironic since of the 25+ cvs that I sent , none of them has obtained a answer .
Finnaly I could use Kylix IDE without problems on a non supported platform(redhat 8.0)after a full week, of fighting against instalation problems ,2 bugs on linux rpm were the reason of instalation problems , then 1 bug on locales, here I downloaded the kylix update and it was fixed, then facing the linux kernel build, due to the fact that the open/save dialogs freezed the ide, and the only fix was to apply the latest stable linux kernel ,then I was faced again  with one bug that was breaking my kernel build in the kernel configurator  , after the 4 failed attemps to build it up, I achieved sucess , then when I finnaly thought that was over , I catched a nasty bug on GRUB the bootloader of linux because of the particurly combination of ext3 filesystem with the new kernel 2.4.19(a nice kernel panic message of unable to mount root filesystem ...), the bug was fixed by hardcoding the value of the path to the harddisk !!!!!!!!
Now until I see something weird, everything is working fine
So you see, good reasons to be on the good side of the track .
