Is 'Line 2' actually a line?
Could you please provide an example?

Very well deserved, indeed.

Mine is just a guess. However you could easily verify it (e.g. trying to copy to a different destination file)

CPallini 10-May-24 5:25am View

I am suggesting that CopyFile fails because it cannot overwrite the destination file. It should have no problems with the source (A) file.

CPallini 10-May-24 5:03am View

I guess it is the CopyFile destination file (not its source) the culprit (e.g. it is open in your application).
You could easily verify the above assumption.

CPallini 10-May-24 2:34am View

The debugger should help. You have to look at the actual content of the string.

CPallini 7-May-24 5:49am View

My bad. Thanks.

I would use an ordinary map in your scenario.

You stated: "Ensure variables playerRow, playerCol, win, and collision are initialized correctly"
However I see no initialization taking place in initalizeGame. Did you update the posted code?

CPallini 28-Mar-24 7:15am View

Could you also provide a working configuration file, in order to enable us to run and test it?

You can control the lifetime of a COM object only via the Release method, hence you must have a pointer to its IUnknown interface, in order to control it.
On the other hand, a library could possibly create a COM object internally, for internal usage. Such an object is not exposed and you cannot control it (a buggy library could, for instance, 'forget' to release an internal COM object).

CPallini 27-Feb-24 2:12am View

Thank you!

CPallini 24-Feb-24 4:49am View

I think that's wrong, Pete.
wstring::c_str() returns a (const wchar_t *).
Moreover, it returns a pointer to local data.

CPallini 24-Feb-24 4:29am View

The info you provided is not complete. The stop condition formula ('here n is the first integer...') is not visible. The mySyn function is not defined. You didn't show the implementation of giaithua and so on.

CPallini 29-Jan-24 9:34am View

It's been a long time since I... (I have to admit I'm using C# and Windows Forms)
Anyway you might start either a 'MFC App' project or a 'Windows Desktop Application' one.
See, for instance

Well, if you are searching for something minimalist then you may have a look at GDI+ documentation:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/gdiplus/-gdiplus-getting-started-use
There is shown how to use the graphics primitives. Then it is just a matter of scaling and translating points.

You could also try realterm, if you need to send binary data (the manual is not clear about what you should send in order to obtain the listed answers).

CPallini 17-Jan-24 9:03am View

I suggest you to first use a reliable terminal emulator program (e.g. PuTTY) to attempt the communication with the scale.
Then you can write your application.

And you are right. Pointer arithmetic depends only on the type of the pointer itself.

CPallini 19-Dec-23 7:34am View

Well, writing

int * x = (char *)y;

is senseless.

CPallini 19-Dec-23 2:15am View

Is the 'other board' identical to the problematic one?

CPallini 19-Dec-23 2:02am View

5.

CPallini 18-Dec-23 10:55am View

In fact it does NOT change. For instance
int * x = (int *)y;
just means: "assign (the address of the value pointed by) y to x. The cast just make the compiler stop complaining about x and y being different pointer types.

While you cannot, depending on your actual scenario there could be a workaround (for instance you can pass to the static method, the instance of the class).

Well, I guessed something like that.
As for me, I did use it for C++ objects whose memory was managed by the Lua runtime.

CPallini 9-Nov-23 9:45am View

You're welcome.
I discovered that while trying to answer your question (before, I just assumed you have to provide your own implementation).

CPallini 9-Nov-23 5:29am View

Exceptions are, sometimes, desirable. See, for instance, the STL at method.

CPallini 9-Nov-23 4:37am View

That's ONE of the PROBLEMS with C++ (FFY).
:-D :-D :-D

CPallini 9-Nov-23 4:35am View

In your case

auto pTD = dynamic_cast<CToolDerived* >(pT);

assuming pT is a pointer to a CToolDerived object, passed as a pointer to CTool.

CPallini 9-Nov-23 3:45am View

Thank you.
I posted it because the C-style cast, which always succeeds, doesn't look very appropriate there.

Then I would try (if you cannot debug by other means) to render a glyph with a very well known pattern (in order to know exactly where memory is going to).

CPallini 21-Aug-23 8:51am View

Then I am not able to see any bug in your code. Possibly we need to compare it with the seek_data one (possibly I am doing bad assumptions. That is I assume a flat buffer containing the whole imagine, pointers declared as uint8_t *, etc...).

CPallini 21-Aug-23 8:40am View

This is not the function you are calling in the linked page. The signature is different.
Probably you are using a wrapper, there.

CPallini 21-Aug-23 5:23am View

I do believe your analysis is correct (my 5). Anyway, I would investigate the misbehavior of read_data instead to fix it the way you suggested.

CPallini 21-Aug-23 2:53am View

It looks read_data is not doing what you expect it should. Maybe it is doing more than you expect :-)

CPallini 4-Aug-23 10:17am View

You are welcome.

CPallini 4-Aug-23 9:23am View

Such a code has no effect. It could have been optimized out.

CPallini 4-Aug-23 8:22am View

That code was actually skipped.

CPallini 4-Aug-23 8:22am View

Also note that:

	int n = 0;          
	n = CmnStruct::Return();

has no effect and could have been optimized out.

CPallini 4-Aug-23 7:55am View

Nope, it is not an attempt to call a static method.
It is a call to its own instance method (after all 'CBYetiBase' is a 'CmnStruct').
Try

#include <iostream>
  
using namespace std;

class Base
{
protected:
int the_answer(){ return 42;}

public:
  Base(){}
};

class Derived: public Base
{
public:
  Derived(){ cout << "The answer is " << Base::the_answer() << "\n";};
};


int main()
{
  Derived d;
}

Actually you usually cannot perform all the multiplications before applying the modulo (because factorial becomes soon very large). Applying the modulo at each iteration produces the correct result.
Note, your code is returning the quotient, not the reminder.
