Re: [Dev-C++] Comment Delimiters

[Damien . <g_...@ho...>]

Guys, How exactly does '#if  0' ...#endif work?  I assumed that the 
preprocessor would skip the statements until it reached the #endif.  
However, when I tried to compile the code(with gcc 3.2.2)  below , i get a 
"missing terminator character ' error" .  It seems as though the code inside 
of an #if  0...#endif statement must be C/C++ accurate. It is easy fixed 
with a /*... */ .Care to elaborate....?
/* IfZero.c */
#include <stdio.h>
int main(void)
{
#if 0
This line should not be worried about. I'm quite sure it will *not* be  
included.
#endif
printf("...");
return 0;
}

Agreed. #if 0 ..#endif is a great way of doing it.

I did not understand what you mean but a very good commenting style is =
this:


For comments use only //.

Use /* */ only for debugging purposes.

Often the one asking a question don't really know exactly what they want -
or at least doesn't specify it clearly enough.

Yes, multiline comments should of course use /* ... */ but very often when
someone gets bothered about commenting away a large number of lines, they
are not thinking about a big block-comment, but a large block of unwanted
code.

[Dev-C++] WRITING TO SERIAL PORT

[Dondolo M. <MDo...@OL...>]

Hi all,
 
I have been playing around with streams and need the following help. 
I am able to print my files to our network printer and also write them to
specific network drives. 
How do I write a device in one of my ports...eg, serial port
consider this code as an example.
 
 
 
ofstream create(" \\omcwca054\\HPLJ5000 <file://\\omcwca054\\HPLJ5000> ")
cout<<"The following will be printed to on lazer jet printer";
create<<" Mpho Dondolo\n"
         <<" 45 Durban Ridge\n"
        <<"Tyger Valley\n";
create.close();
 
I want to write to my matrix display board that is connected to my serial
port.
 
NB!!!! Please do not flip if have not supplied sufficient info. ( last i did
that, some guy almost had a heart attack) I am still new at this game

There is a quick way:

#if 0
...
#endif

Because "0" is "false", #if 0 can be considered like if (false){...}, 
which will in fact, never execute. So all code, with or without 
comments, will not be parsed by the C preprocessor there.

This approach is also better, because /* */ comments cannot be nested.

I accidentally erased Per Westermark's email so I reply without part of his
message.


Why use compilation under condition for comments in C++?

The best approach on comments in C++ is to use always // for comments, and
use /* */ only for debugging purposes (to comment out blocks of code).

You could put use a bitmap brush and paint a region with it, but that's a 
poor way of doing it. Must be a better one.

RE: [Dev-C++] DirectX Tutorials

[Daniel G. <sp...@ho...>]

I've done a similar thing in the past, on this mailing list I think, of 
asking for good tutorials for directx and other things, and there's a good 
reason:

Tutorials are a mixed bag sometimes. Some are easy to understand, others are 
not. Some, beginners find great, others beginners find extremely confusing. 
For those of you who work for a development company, you may know this by 
looking at your company's documentation and manuals from a beginner's point 
of view (get a trainee to follow them - you'll be surprised lol).

I'm not saying asking should be the first port of call, do a search of 
course, but as we are famous for saying in development "don't reinvent the 
wheel".

My $0.02, as has been said before.

Re: [Dev-C++] Comment Delimiters

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

If you want to deactivate a large number of lines, you might do

#ifdef _SKIP_THIS
  <unwanted code>
#endif

Then you don't have to make changes to all the individual lines of the
code block. By the way - don't ever "#define _SKIP_THIS" later just to
activate the code lines again :-)

> decent resources out of the first few pages.

Try it yourself:
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=utf-8&q=directx+9+tutoria
l&btnG=Google+Search

(might be split up onto multiple lines - google `directx 9 tutorial').
There are relavant results on the first page itself. And it's not just on
Google. Try Lycos. You get results. Good ones. Try AltaVista. Heck, try even
MSN!

Questions like `Is there a function to split foo into fifteen parts?' are
okay. They aren't *searchable*. Phrases like `DirectX 9 tutorial' reach out
and slap you in the face, screaming in high-pitched voices, "Search me!". If
someone hasn't even bothered to try, I, personally feel they have no right
to ask.

I came across a person the other day who posted a question from his
homework. I answered in brief, and he replied saying, "Yeah, I tried that,
it didn't work...", and he sent his source. I rewrote it and sent it back. I
don't mind doing that much for him, because I admire him for trying. If I
can go out of my way to help someone, I can also go out of my way to
reprimand.

Re: [Dev-C++] Beginner help

[Shane B. <ast...@te...>]

Another common solution to this is a call to the function getc(), which =
waits for the user to press a key, before continueing.

For example:

int main(void)
{
  cout << "Hello World!\n";
  getc();
}

To use getc(), will require the stdio.h C library, I suppose a similar =
solution is possible with cin, the opposite to cout.  Also, the standard =
iostream header is require for cout/cin.

  You could do

  #include <stdlib.h>

  then

  system("PAUSE");=20

  at the end of your main function.

    I have just yeaterday started to tach myself programming in c++.I =
was wondering if after you have compiled a programe and run it how to =
make it saty on the screen to view it.

    I know you can open up the dos prompt and drag it into the box,it =
then shows its path at the command line then one click and enter and it =
runs.But can it be run and displayed in dev version 4 to stay on the =
screen till you close the window down.


    It is mostlikely an option but with all the terms new to me i aint =
sure off what it would be called .

    Thanks all...
