You could do

#include <stdlib.h>

then

system("PAUSE");

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...

For recent printings only the hard cover of the special edition. For =
first
printings of the 3rd edition, special edition has sone new appendices =
and
more than 1000 corrections. I suggest special edition because the hard =
cover
is really good it withstands heavy use (for example I have caught the =
book
on the air while it was falling from the hardcover only, noumerous times =
and
it has not been sustained serious damages. We are talking about a heavy =
book
here, so the hard cover is really very strong and of high quality). If =
you
get the 3rd edition with the simple paper cover, I am sure it will
eventually fall apart if you try to read it cover to cover.

[Dev-C++] Windows exception handling

[<cg...@wo...>]

How can I use the winAPI exception handlling functions?
It is
try{
... <<<code which has RaiseException() function
}
except (GetExceptionCode() == code){
...
}

Whenever I try to use this the compiler reports errors: either except is 
not defined, or if I use __try and __except then it reports errors 
before ) and from that line own it reports any variable defined in the 
block as undefined.
I included the header excpt.h which seemed to have it but it didn't 
work, and I activated an deactivated the support for exceptions in 
compiler options (since it could happen  a clash between C and Windows? 
[that of try in both cases...])

Thank you in advance.

[Dev-C++] Debugging DLLs

[<al...@ne...>]

Hello,

i'm developing an audio-effect for Steinberg's VST-interface. These
effects are realized as DLL-files. I succeed compiling and of course
running my DLL, but i can't debug it.

I generated the DLL with debugging information, without optimizations
and without compiler switches like -s. Also, i've already entered the
host application in "Execute -> Paramters". But now entering the
debug-mode doesn't do anything. I even tried to start the host, load the
DLL, enter debugging mode in DevC++ and then use the "attach PID" command to
attach GDB to the process of the host, but none of my attempts was
succesful.

I hope someone here on this list is already experienced in debugging
DLLs and might help me little bit! :)

Thank you very much, Alex

[Dev-C++] wxWindows flags

[<or...@vp...>]

Hi!

OK, I have done some header file investigation in wxWindows, and 
according to the comments and code, these are all the flags (well only 
the "defines") you need to be able to create wxWindows programs:
-D_WIN32_IE=0x0400 -DWINVER=0x0400 -DWIN32 -D__GNUWIN32__

In detail:
-D_WIN32_IE=0x0400 -DWINVER=0x0400
These two are required if you have IE 4.0 (I think you do). BOTH must be 
defined, because they are used in separate places, and they don't know 
about each other.

-DWIN32 or -D_WIN32
This is the ONLY one flag that you need (just one of them), if you 
compile under Windows. wxWindows will autodetect everything else 
(according to the comment and code in include/wx/platform.h)

-D__GNUWIN32__
This is needed to have case-insensitive string compare. Otherwise the 
program won't compile.

I hope I have provided some useful information to you.

Your idea suggest a significant performance boost, if I was referencing =
the
memory with accessing optimization.  The issue here, is accessing, it's
allocation performance.
As I believe you meant,
"new class_type[count]"
is equivilent to,
"malloc(count * sizeof(class_type))"
This is the fastest method I can determine for allocation, however the =
issue
is that I want to allocate this memory to be used and delete'd not as an
array, but perhaps individually.  What I mean is, currently the memory =
is
allocated with many calls to "new", whereas one call to new, allocating =
all
the memory at once would be faster.  However, I cannot take a pointer to =
a
specific element of the array and only delete that memory when it's no
longer needed, I would require a management system of the array.
=20
Herein lies the problem, the array must be allocated and deleted =
entirely.
Multiple calls to "new" is required to ensure each memory is allocated =
and
internally tracked separately.  I do not want one large chunk of memory
accessed as an array, but rather simply to preallocate the required =
memory
all at once for a specific number of objects.

each object is later stored in an STL map and indexed according to a =

objects, and then use one at a time into the map, and may later be

=20
Your suggestion to use a vector does not imply allocating with new, as =
is
needed for each to be allocated correctly and constructed properly.  =
There
may not be a better solution than calling new 48k times, unfortunately.
=20
I thought perhaps at a lower level you could preallocate a whole chunk =

memory, then with another special call, construct an object in =

memory.  This would speed up as I would just iterate through the
construction of each object after allocating for 48k objects, instead of

Hello,
=20
    I have recently been attempting to find ways to speed up the process =
of
loading 48k records from a MySQL SELECT statement, which has a 32 char
primary key.  One of the more intensive processes involved is calling =
"new"
to create a new object 48k times.  In standard C, I would =
malloc(RowCount *
sizeof(class_type)), and using pointer math, simply iterate whenever I
needed a new structure.  With C++, a call to new is required for
construction purposes.  Is there an optimized method wherein I can =
allocate
a dynamic number to be preallocated more efficiently all at once in one
call?
    I have considered using "new class_type[RowCount]()" to allocate an
array (haven't tried to see if that would actually work), but I was
wondering if there was a more efficient means to preallocate objects.

Hi Brian,

I see from your compile log that you've built the debug version of version
2.5.0. When you created your Dev-C++ project, where did you get the compiler
defines and linker flags? Is it from the wx-config file?

When you do "make -f makefile.unx", the wx-config file is used in the build
process.
Since this works, you might want to take a look at wx-config file to see the
compiler defines and linker flags and compare them with your Dev-C++ project
settings.

Best Regards,
Yeoh

Hi Bal=E1zs,

Thanks for this information. I always welcome more than one solution. :-)

Interestingly (or poetic-justice-tically) enough, Windows did crash on me
after that. I had downloaded a video and was trying to play it (in *WMP*,
and it was in *WMV* format).

RE: [Dev-C++] display bitmap

[Graeme F. <gr...@dr...>]

A couple of points

BeginPaint() should only be used in the WM_PAINT because the paint message
is triggered by an invalid region and so BeginPaint only allows you to paint
in the invalid region - it also validates the invalid region for you. You
should be able to check this by looking at the rcPaint field returned in the
PaintStructure - that is a RECT of the invalid region.

Secondly you can also try the LoadBitmap function to load a bitmap from a
file mentioned in a resource file. Slightly easier than loadImage.

Graeme.

Re: [Dev-C++] FREE download: a HOW-TO use wxWindows with Dev-C++

[Brian A. <bri...@gm...>]

Yeoh, and others

I've done according to the instructions in this document, and, 
unfortunately I get the same problem I had gotten before.  The 
application compiles (but Dev-Cpp cannot run it, I must go through the 
explorer for that...) but when it executes, immediately it generates an 
error

The exception unknown software exception (0xc00000fd) occurred in the 
application at location 0x0040d40d.

However, the application will compile if I do a  "make -f makefile.unx" 
the application compiles AND RUNS just fine....

Where am I going wrong?
