Hi All,
I'm in begining of implementing a software but i need to make sure the software should be OS (operating system) independent. So which design pattern i need to implement.
Langauge used - C++
Thanks,
Manisha

Making software independent of OS has nothing to do with design patterns. You need to make sure that the actual code you write can be correctly built on every OS that you plan to support. That is, you must ensure you do not use any features specific to a particular version.

To add to what Richard said, C++ is a good choice for writing native cross platform code.
Similarity to write cross platform user interface code, you would need to use certain GUI libraries like in this list - List of platform-independent GUI libraries[^]

Or.... just completely separate your GUI from your working code.

The Bridge[^] pattern is often use when code needs to be OS independent.
The pattern will help you split the abstract portable code with the actual non-portatble implementation.
For example, if you need to create a OS independent graphic toolkit, you will have a set of portable classes that will be use by the application developers on every OS; and a set of classes that will be dependent on the particular OS (for example GDI on windows , X11/XLib, cocoa (?) on Mac... ) framework.

I'm working on win ce 6 modbus tcp client server, application is developed for a client server communication and it is working fine. now req is my slave device should respond to the diff slave addresses polled by master/client. Can I just change slave id and establish connection or I need to close previous connection and again establish new one
below is the code, which is working fine for one node, if I polled with other node ID then it gives exception. what change it req to communicate with other node simultaneously. My device should be able to communicate with 32 diff nodes on modbus tcp. Shall I create individual threads for each node but how they will communicate on same port? before establishing connection with other node shall I close previous node?

First you need to tell us what exception you received and also exactly where in the code it occurred.
Veni, vidi, abiit domum

|

Not exactly exception but it's not communicating to other node id. If I test it using modscan utility, it works for device id "1" for which communication is established for first time but if trying to communicate with device id "2" then communication is not established.
|
|
|
|
|
I'm afraid that does not help much. You need to use your debugger to find out where the code is failing.

Visual Studio contains a program debugger as standard. If you have not used it before then now is the time to learn.

will the above code with commented error handling will resolve the issue...so that i can communicate with multiple device ids like 1, 2, 3..32

Member 10296418 wrote: will the above code with commented error handling will resolve the issue
Sorry, but I cannot answer that question. You need to try the code in your debugger to see exactly what is happening. In general you should be able to accept any number of connections, and manage the communication between server and clients quite easily.

Using modscan if I poll for same IP with diff device ID application should responds to every device id, In above code I commented checking INVALID_SOCKET..and recv message is called so that messages will be received with diff device IDs. will it work?

Hi Member 10296418,
to avoid the exception you need to close the Socket Connection and reopen the same. you can create multiple virtual ports and try creating multiple threads for the socket connection. And also give 5MS delay after closing the connection.
Hope this helps .

Dear friends,
I am a POS developer, my question is im send some request to some different server then that person send me to resonse with some EOT i want get this response without this EOT how can i do this using C..please help me.
thank you.
|
|
|
|
|
You can't, if the message contains that character or sequence then you need to deal with it.
Veni, vidi, abiit domum

how can i deal with that..
|
|

How can you deal with what? Remember, we cannot see your code or read your mind, so we have no idea what the problem may be unless you provide clear details.
Veni, vidi, abiit domum

|
|
|
|
yes im sorry...
server_send_packet(sockt,DownCofig_PARAM_OBJ.transmitData);
//Think some third party give me to some library and i want to send my data to that library then that //library some data called "transmitData" .Then i send this data to the server.
server_rcv_packet(sockt,rcv,300,0);
//then server response i take to this rcv buffer and send to library.So this rcv data has EOT(0x04) i want read this rcv buffer data until this EOT so how can i do this.
|
|
|
|
|
You should use a loop to keep calling recv until there is no more data, or the EOT character has been received. You can then remove the EOT character from the buffer and send the remainder of the message to the library.

Dear friend don't get mis understand me iam new to this ....i already try to your solution,but i did that rcv buffer length ,how can i identify this EOT character i mean if there is some standard way or something
|
|
|
|
|
You need to search the receive buffer for it.

Thank u very much my dear friend really appreciate your help.
