I had to create a Win 32 dll in C++ to be able to link it to Clarion.
I usually use C# and don't know C++ very well.
This dll works fine but I am struggling to interface to my C# web service from this C++ dll.
I have added my Web service to the Project as a web reference.
In the dll I can see the web service name space but not the procedures in that service.
Is it possible top link from a C++ dll to a C# web service ?.. If possible How??
Thanks

I wanna set real time priority to my application.
At first a loader program runs myapp. Then I want to get the process id using exe name. With exe name i must be able to set its priority to REALTIME.
My concept may sound correct but i dont know how to program it. Anybody can help me;P

If you have control over the loader program you can use CreateProcess() to launch your application and use REALTIME_PRIORITY_CLASS in the creation flag.
Otherwise use SetPriorityClass()within your application to REALTIME_PRIORITY_CLASS - this will ensure that your application runs at Realtime priority always.
I would be carefull when creating programs that run at realtime as they *will* hog the processor and you can easily prevent other applications from responding.

I tried...but it doesn't work. I am in VC6. Does this stuffs work under VC6? In the loader program i am using the below code,
STARTUPINFO suInfo;
PROCESS_INFORMATION procInfo;
CString m_Process;
m_Process.Format(_T("%s\\my.exe"),curDir);
memset (&suInfo, 0, sizeof(suInfo));
suInfo.cb = sizeof(suInfo);
::CreateProcess(m_Process,
NULL, // can also be NULL
NULL,
NULL,
FALSE,
REALTIME_PRIORITY_CLASS,
NULL,
NULL,
&suInfo,
&procInfo);
if (procInfo.dwThreadId == NULL)
{
AfxMessageBox("nope");
}
else
{
::SetThreadPriority(&procInfo.dwThreadId,THREAD_PRIORITY_HIGHEST);
}
When I check in process viewer the class priority is "Very High", the thread priority remain "normal". Also when a thread runs in "my.exe" it's not given the highest priorities, i am free to access other programs.

You will always be able to access other programs even with Realtime priority set.
NOTE: Running under windows you can not set the application to have exclusive use of the processor.
I am puzzled, why would you want to do this?

Hi Ant, my application is time sensitive. even mouse move will affect its normal operation. This is why i have to suspend other programs when my exe run a thread.
Actually i found a standalone program in the net that list out all the running programs (I give you the link asap). When i set the priority to real time (24). I found my program running fine while i cant even access the mouse.
But i want to do this programmatically.

I would have thought that my suggested launching would have worked. If I think of anything else you could try I will let you know.

Well, just a notice - Windows are not realtime OS, if you really need the RT features (for RT controlling a device or something like that) you better to go by some specialized RT OS or get some RT plugin for NT that replaces the standard scheduler.
Even if you set the process realtime priority and thread realtime priority the time scheduler can interrupt your process and will do it usually in the worsest possible time.

hi thanks for you idea,
i did a google search with the string "Real Time plug in for NT" but i couldn't come across any windows compatible plug in's.
would you please refer me one

just googled for "RealTime NT"
and got some results

Hi all,
Apologies if this has already been covered but I could find it anywhere.
The problem that I have is that a piece of software that I am working on used a lot of arrays and matrices (i.e. float* and float**), the problem that we where having was that the program was leaking memory like there was no tomorrow (about a meg every 10secs) and the program was crashing at 'innocent' parts of the code.
After spending quite a while trying to solve these errors I decided to go at it with a sledge hammer and change all of the arrays and matrices to STL vectors (i.e. vector for the arrays and a vector <vector> for the matrices). I've now finished making the changes and the program no longer leaks memory or crashes, however it now runs at about 50% slower. I've changed where the vectors are created so that they are only created once. This has improved things quite a lot however it is still noticibly slower about 10%, does anyone have any other easy optimisation methods that I can implement.
I've left the way that the program accesses the data the same using the [] and [][] brackets.
Any thoughts or suggestions will be gratefully received!

Hi,
If the type is known (in your case float) you could write your own vector class.
Do the maintance (new/delete) in there and use the good old (double if necessary) arrays.
Vector classes are always quite slow. If speed is primary you should use arrays.
hope this helps...

cheers for your reply, I think I have now located where the bottle neck in the code is! basically we copy a BYTE array (about 23000 elements each time!) into another vector (of type unsigned char) about 20-25 times a second which is slowing the whole process down so I'm now currently looking at optimising the copying process

One thing to do when copying into vectors is use reserve() first if you know how many ites you need to copy in. Saves a lot of time spent allocating and copying progressively bigger blocks of memory.

According to Stroustrup, vectors are as efficient as arrays. (See his web site.) So it must be a question of poor usage.

well, I think that if speed is important, you should go back and figure out why your application is leaking memory ... if using VC++ compile in debug mode, and use the DEBUG_NEW define macro to help you find where exactly is the leak; and/or use BoundChecker or some other 3rd party software helper to find te leaks.
you found ( from you other post ) that you copy a lot of arrays, maybe that's where you are leaking memory ...
remember that for each new there should be a delete and for each new [] there should be a delete []

thanks everyone for your suggestions, what I've done is build the release version and it 'appears' to be fast enough for our needs. I'm currently in the process of verifying this through the code.

Hi,
I want to read a line of text from file.
Therefore I use following code:
<br />
do{<br />
fscanf(readfile, "%s", line);<br />
text += " ";<br />
text += line;<br />
}<br />
while(line.Find("\n") < 0);<br />
if I debug I can see that line will contain text until the next whitespace. So far so good, but it seems that text += line; doesn't add this value to text.
Does anybody know why?
tnx!

Ignore my response below; I didn't see the CString title!
The first thing that comes to mind why it would not visually append would be that line is not null terminated.
Also I think the debug watch window only displays string values up to a certain length, then its truncated. I know that this was so for VS6, not sure for VS.7
[EDIT]
That is because
text += " "cannot be used on string variables.
I am assuming that text is a character buffer. If this is the case try:
..
_tcscat(text,_T(" "));
_tcscat(text,line);
..

I didn't know that, it worked fine for me, I use it all the time?
line and text are both CStrings, the " " is appended, but the line variable isn't. I suppose this has something to do with the fscanf function, but nonetheless it seems very strange to me.
tnx for the reply though.
PS: I've tried text = text + line; and text.Append(line); too, but nothing...

If line is a CString object, it cannot be used as the third parameter to fscanf().
Assuming you are wanting to read lines from the file, there are at least two methods that make more sense. The first is to use "%[^\n]" instead of "%s". This will read everything up to the '\n' character. The second is to create a CStdioFile object and use its ReadString() method.
