Lots of samples: sockets c - Google Search[^]. The basics of sockets have not changed for years so you can work from any of the more modern samples in an old compiler: my first sockets program was developed using Visual C++ 6.0 (so long ago).

I have a task of passing variable values in an array to a function.
Of course compiler cannot reinitialize same array with different values.
Putting the code in a block works.
Awful hack.
So what is "the proper " way to accomplish the task in C++ ?
Multidimensional array is impractical in my case.

int a[32] = {1,2,3,4,5,6,7};

What exactly are you wanting TestArray() to do?

It does nothing useful, just test prints the values passed to it.
The question is about how to initialize / reinitialize THE ARRAY of the values passed.

Have you tried memset() or memcpy()? It's not ideal because (currently) TestArray() does not know how much room it has to work with.

Why the extra pointer?
int a[32] = {1,2,3};
vna.utility.TestArray(a);
for (i = 1; i <= 7; ++i)
{
a[i] = i;
}
vna.utility.TestArray(a);

Here is a partial test solution using memset.
Compiler likes it.
There is a small problem
"This function copies the value of c (converted to an unsigned char) into each of the first size bytes
of the object beginning at block. It returns the value of block. "
I am getting only the first value passed and it fills all 32 bits
Index 0 pDataArray 37373737
Index 1 pDataArray 37373737
Index 2 pDataArray 37373737
Index 3 pDataArray 37373737
Obviously I am using the pDataArray
and memset (pointers ?) wrong, as usual.
Could use some more help.
Thanks

Most of that code is not going to do what you think.
memset(pDataArray, *a, sizeof(a)); You are trying to fill the area pointed to by pDataArray, but you never initialise it to point to anything, so it will likely crash your application. Also you are trying to fill pDataArray with the value stored in the first element of a. Is that what you actually mean?
memset(pDataArray, b[32], sizeof(b)); You are trying to fill pDataArray with the value stored in a random element: b[32] refers to a cell 1 beyond the end of that array.
In both cases why are you using the memset (presumably you actually mean memcpy), since you do not use pDataArray for anything useful?

This code looks wrong. You didn't allocate any memory for the Quote: pDataArray

Here is the last modification of the code.
It fulfills the task to be able to reinitialize the array, actually passing a pointer with new data to called function.
The "test function" process / role was immaterial, as long as correct pointer with correct data was received. .
All replies were generaly helpful, which I appreciate.
Thanks.

No, I am afraid it is still wrong. You have the following line of code:
int *pDataArray[32];
That creates pDataArray as an array of integer pointers, not an array of integers. And what is the purpose of this variable, since you never do anything useful with it? Maybe if you actually explained what problem you are trying to solve we could make some useful suggestions.
Also in the expressions sizeof(a)/4, it is better to use sizeof(a)/sizeof(a[0]). Then if a is changed to some other type, the calculation will still be correct.

/*Write a programme to check a password if it has an uppercase letter, a digit and a special symbol. (I have provided what I have done and I am not getting the output as required. Need explanation on where I messed it up.)*/
#include<stdio.h>
#include<stdlib.h>
#include<ctype.h>
int main()
{
int i;
int tuna;
do{
printf("Enter a password:%c \n", tuna);
scanf(" %c", &tuna);
} while( tuna != (isupper(tuna), isalpha(tuna), isdigit(tuna)) );
return 0;
}
|
|

I see several things wrong with your approach: 1) The first time through the loop, tuna is uninitialized so the printf() statement is going to print an incorrect character, 2) The scanf() statement is expecting to receive a char (%c) but you are giving it the address of an int, 3) The isupper(), isalpha(), and isdigit() functions return a non-zero value if the parameter is an uppercase alphabetic letter, and zero otherwise. You are then comparing this to tuna. While syntactically correct, it is nonsensical, 4) If your password is to hold numbers, letters, and symbols, the password type should not be an int, but should probably be a string.
Consider something like:
int reqd = 0;
char pwd[32];
printf("Enter a password: ");
scanf("%s", pwd);
for (int x = 0; x < strlen(pwd); x++)
{
if (isupper(pwd[x]))
reqd |= 0x1;
else if (isalpha(pwd[x]))
reqd |= 0x2;
else if (isdigit(pwd[x]))
reqd |= 0x4;
}
if (reqd == 0x07)
printf("Requirements have been met.\n");
else
printf("Requirements have NOT been met.\n");

I didn't get the logic behind "reqd" in the if else part. Can you please explain?

I presume this is for a class and I suspect you have not been taught bit manipulation. Unless you learn about it yourself, you probably do not want to hand in a solution that uses it.

You could (possibly) simplify to something like:
int upper = 0;
int alpha = 0;
int digit = 0;
...
if (isupper(pwd[x]))
upper = 1;
else if (isalpha(pwd[x]))
alpha = 1;
else if (isdigit(pwd[x]))
digit = 1;
...
if (upper == 1 && alpha == 1 && digit == 1)
printf("Requirements have been met.\n");
else
printf("Requirements have NOT been met.\n");

Your code is entering a character (singular) then checking it.
You need to enter a word (multiple characters) and THEN check that entire word for one character of each type.

Hex 1A (equivalent to Ctrl-Z) is an end of file byte in a text file. You need to change your code so that you open the file in binary mode.

My worker thread is passing message to the mainframe window with PostMessage.
There is a situation when the PostMessage fails with the ERROR_NOT_ENOUGH_QUOTA error (and sometimes just not fails, but the message is not handled)
That thread does not call PostMessage a lot, maybe 4, 5 times in all when it is used.
There is someone else that PostMessage and I have a hard time figuring out who/what, even if the messages are system messages or our own.
What would be the best way to track down unruly messages that fills the message queue ?
=========================
Problem found.
Recent modifications created an update loop.
Thanks.

Is your main thread blocked such that it is unable to process messages in its queue?

The main Application/UI thread is not blocked, I can still interact with it and manually stop the worker thread.
The message is to trigger a function in the MainFrame that will set an event (SetEvent).
The handler for the MESSAGEID id is never called. (breakpoint never triggered); so the event is never triggered.
(I know the INFINITE is not the best idea, but it is approved)
My pseudo-code is something like that :
Worker Thread:
void f(CWnd* p)
{
p->PostMessage(MESSAGEID, 0, 0 );
const DWORD dwEvent = WaitForMultipleObjects(NB_EVENT_REGISTERED, ghEventList, FALSE, INFINITE);
}
Main UI thread.
ON_MESSAGE(MESSAGEID, OnMESSAGEID )
LRESULT CMainFrame::OnMESSAGEID (WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)
{
SetEvent(ghEventList[0]);
}

See PostMessageA function | Microsoft Docs[^] for details of this error. Itmay be that something in your code is getting in a loop under certain conditions. Use your debugger to find the culprit.

i am not certain what to look for in the debugger.
That's my problem.
