Re: [Dev-C++] library files and object files

[Per W. <pw...@ia...>]

A library is a collection of one or more object files.

When you supply an object file, the linker will include it in your
program.

When you supply a library file, the linker will look at the object files
inside the library and extract and include just the object files that is
needed to resolve all symbols in your program.

Re: [Dev-C++] Optimization

[Per W. <pw...@ia...>]

Note that compiler optimization is performed for a compile unit. If the
memory block has global linkage, i.e. not auto and not file-static, the
compiler will perform the clear, since it doesn't know if you will use the
memory later.

If the memory block is file-static, it is a bit bothersome. If the memory
is used in a lot off different places, it might contain sensitive
information. Better OS clears memory returned by programs, but in some
environments it is up to the application to make sure that no sensitive
information is leaked. Most probably, a compiler will clear the memory
block. However, I'm not sure what the standard says about this case.

The easiest way to make sure a for() loop isn't empty is to insert a call
to a non-inlineable function, preferably a function in another compilation
unit to protect from global optimization. There are a number of tricks to
do inside a function to try getting the compiler to leave the for loop
intact. However, some compilers are very, very aggresive at detecting
surplus code or results that isn't needed etc, so it isn't really
recommended.

Since the compiler doesn't know about side effects in externally linked
functions, a number of functions in the runtime library may be used but
observe that some "functions" might actually be inline assemply
intrinsics that the compiler will notice the side effects for...

Re: [Dev-C++] Does the result of my called clock() is wrong?

[Per W. <pw...@ia...>]

clock returns amount of time consumed by your process. Obviously the first
call to clock() should be zero since your program hasn't done anything
yet.

When you write empty for() loops - without any actual work in them - the
compiler optimization will completely remove your loop. The result is that
your second call to clock() will be made immediately after the first call,
and give the value zero.

Try adding something interesting in your loop, to get your program to
work.

Re: [Dev-C++] Declaring Host variables in C++

[Per W. <pw...@ia...>]

Please don't repeat your questions. Instead specify what _you_ have done
to try and find a solution.

C++ is obviously C++ and don't want anything but C++ in the source. If you
want to insert raw SQL statements directly into the code, you have to
search - google is recommended - for any preprocessor that may locate the
SQL statements, and replace them with proper C++ code to do what you want.
Else, you have yourself to write C++ code to access the database...

Look at the following ref:
http://www.tek-tips.com/gfaqs.cfm/pid/207/fid/4247

There are a huge number of other references how to access SQL databases
from a C/C++ program.

With Microsoft Access, you might beside ODBC also try ADO or DAO.

For ODBC you might use ODBC functions directly, or check out frameworks
such as wxWidgets:

Probably not because it's not supported for couple of years now. The 
problem with dev-cpp on linux
was that it was based on precompiled binary libraries, and everytime a 
new base library came out (for
example glibc etc), it produced errors like the one you sent. You might 
find some answers on borland
community newsgroups or go back to redhat kylix 1 and 2 supported (like 
7.2 or 8 - don't remember).
Bottom line is it's not working anymore and it's not supported. Try 
something like anjuta or kdevelop instead.

Re[2]: [Dev-C++] Pointer to function

[Per W. <pw...@ia...>]

Since the speed difference of a function pointer compared to a virtual
method call is less than a nanosecond on a modern computer - in some cases
the speed difference is zero because of specific c++ code optimizations in
the compiler - you have a major problem if you think virtual method calls
aren't fast enough...

You may find more useful to use Insight then. It has more debuging 
features than Dev-C++. And Insight's gdb console is *usable*. :)

If you only want it for crashes, you may want to use Dr MinGW (look at 
the mingwutils package at www.mingw.org).

[Dev-C++] Debug only

[Gisle V. <gi...@bg...>]

How do I use Dev-Cpp for debugging (with gdb) only?
I'm tired of setting up a project for this since I've already
done my own makefile. There's no direct way AFAICS to 
open an executable for debug as in Visual-Studio.

If I debug an exe (with symbols) and it crashes, Dev-Cpp
stops at a completely irrelevant source line. Do I really need
to setup a project with all the sources/libs first? Isn't there
an easy way?

BTW. This doesn't happen always but, why can't the current-directory
(of file-open dialgues etc.) be the current-directory of the parent 
app (my 4NT shell). It's a pain to traverse to the correct dir using 
the pathetic CommonDlg thingy.
