Really? I thought they actually wanted to move this law into Europe FROM

[Dev-C++] New release problem, one new I've just detected.

[<sol...@ya...>]

The program consumes an enormous amount of CPU, so other programs run so 
slow.

[Dev-C++] New release problem (yes, I'll post it in the bug form, but putting it here informs people there)

[<sol...@ya...>]

The first is that if you have compiled one project, modify one of its 
sources and then press compile (F9) it compiles the modified file, but 
when you press execute it says project not compiled, that if it doesn't 
show linker errors with the string class.
The second is that webupdate says it's disconnected or the server is 
down and so it cannot check for updates.

Re: [Dev-C++] Problem deleting iterator contents while iterating...

[Vale G. <val...@at...>]

Edric -

> On a successful match in criteria, I wish to delete the iterator and its
contents away from the memory.

The nice thing about STLs is that they take care of all of the fiddly bits for
you.

I'm not sure that an STL container implementation is required to free up the
memory used by a deleted member.  Don't worry about it.

> However, when I attempted to call delete on the node that I want to remove,
the compilation throws an error.
> delete(*xIter); // Compilation fails at this point

I don't think that you can dereference an iterator. Eliminate the line that
won't compile.  It's not needed.  The member is erased by the line:

resultTable.erase(xIter++);

but

Danger! Danger! If the container is a vector, string or deque, the iterator is
invalid after the erase.

It's too much to go into here.  For more information, see Item 9 in Scott
Meyer's Effective STL book.  Nicolai Josuttis' The C++ Standard Library would
also be a very good investment.

Reid, 

I got it working finally.  Thanks for all the help.  

This is all still new to me.  I am still having a small bit trouble
understanding friends and overloading operators, especially the use of
const.  Got any sites for me?

Thanks

Reid,

That did it.  It's compiling and running, but for some reason the minutes
don't seem to be advancing.  It appears that clock.advance(15); is not
pushing my minutes up...I'm going to have to debug.

Thanks for the great assistance, but I'm afraid I really don't quite

Re: [Dev-C++] How much memory is my program using?

[Stefan K. <ste...@ya...>]

Hm... That's not so simple.
For dynamically allocated memory using the "new" operator or "malloc",
this can be done by:

Overriding the global operator new and adding the amount of bytes to a 
global variable. You also can override global operator delete to 
subtract the freed amount of bytes from that variable - that way you can 
check if all allocated memory has properly been freed before terminating 
your program.

If you use malloc(), write and use your own function, for example 
AppMalloc() and AppFree() and add/subtract the amount of bytes to a 
global variable.

There is no other way to do it in C/C++, as far as I know, and no 
Windows API function that can tell you how much RAM you're using.

Hope this helps!

[Dev-C++] Newbie: Linker Errors

[Opacki, J. <Jos...@ng...>]

I'm still learning so please be patient.

I am running into some problems.  I've defined my interface file as
"compile.h", my implementation file as "compile.cpp", and my application
file as "main.cpp".  The implementation and application files both contain [
#include "compile.h" ].  However, when I try to compile my application file,
I receive numerous linker errors with undefined references to my class.

HELP!  

Am I not understanding the whole seperate file compilation?  Isn't the class
interface and implementation files supposed to be named the same and just
with different extensions?  

I've attached all three files...thanks.

Joe <<compile.cpp>>  <<compile.h>>  <<main.cpp>> 

[Dev-C++] How much memory is my program using?

How can I find out how much memory my program is using?
I'm running it under windows and was wondering if there's a Windows API call

If I'm not being specific enough, tell me.

[Dev-C++] dev BGI library OS dependant behaviour

[Mark S. <mar...@li...>]

Hi all
firstly thanks to Yeoh for the dev project files for the static library &
bgidemo (  http://www.yeohhs.com/shareware/winbgi_DevCpp.zip ) 
When I use the outtext() function & run on win2000 the text is in the colour
set by setcolor and the background colour is as set by setbkcolour as one
would expect, but if I rebuild & run it on a win98 machine the text colour
is OK but the background colour goes to black irrespective of what I set the
background colour to.
Does anyone have a fix or must I live with the performance difference
between the OS ?
P.S. I'm not familiar with windows API programming :-(

TIA
Mark

Re[4]: [Dev-C++] using char* as bitfield

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

Sorry, I must have got brain-fever

It should be bit&7 not bit&3

Don't know where the 3 came from in the first example, but then I managed
to continue with it for the test_bit() and clear_bit() functions too...

Am I bad or just a bit tired :-)

The code I sent defined bit 0 as least significant bit of first char, and
bit 7 as most significant bit of first char.
If you want to reverse order of bits within a character, you can use

0x80 >> (bit&7)

Then you will allocate bits from high bit to low in each character.


Also, the bits are zero-relative. If you do set_bit(mybits,2) the relevant
character should contain binary value 00000100 (4 decimal) if you use the
bit order of my example, or 00100000 (32 decimal) if you use the reverse
bit order of (0x80 >> (bit&7)).

dev 4.9.8.1

When you start a new project you specify it as C or C++. Once the project
has been defined, is it possible to change it? There is not an option under

yes, my fault. corrected. ;-)

that was clear.

understood.

ok. with you.

everything seems clear to me now. but the out put of my current code,
will be:

mybits: 0000 0000 0000 0000
mybits: 0400 0000 0000 0000

this does mean that the first byte changed from

(bin) 00000000 to
(bin) 00000100

right?
this should be

(bin) 0100000
(hex) 40

since I changed the second bit of all, right?

somewhere I made a mistake, I know, but where?


char *alloc_bits(unsigned int);
void  set_bit(char*, unsigned int);
int   get_bit(const char*, unsigned int);
void  clear_bit(char*, unsigned int bit);

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    char *mybits;
    
    mybits = alloc_bits(60);

    if (mybits) printf("mybits: %X%X %X%X %X%X %X%X (%s)\n", *(mybits+0), *(mybits+1), *(mybits+2), *(mybits+3), *(mybits+4), *(mybits+5), *(mybits+6), *(mybits+7), mybits);

    if (mybits) set_bit(mybits,2);

    system("PAUSE");
    return 0;
}

    return calloc(((bits+7)/8), sizeof(char));
}

{
    bits[bit/8] |= 1 << (bit&3);
}

int get_bit(const char *bits, unsigned int bit)
{
    return ((bits[bit/8] | (1 << (bit&3))) != 0) ? bit : 0;
}

void clear_bit(char *mybits,unsigned int bit) {
    mybits[bit/8] &= ~(1 << (bit&3));
}

I propose that the following character sequence for joke markers:
