Re: [Dev-C++] Lost with 4.9.7.x and ... headers and using name std;

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

using namespace std; is best illustrated with an example

#include <iostream>      // The 'new' way of including iostream

int main(int argc, char** argv)
{
   using namespace std;
   cout << "Hello World";   // output text to screen

   return 0;
}

WITHOUT using namespace std; we must type

   std::cout << "Hello World";

because we want to use the standard 'cout', not our own version.


If we have a lot of 'cout's to type, we can use using namespace std; to 
avoid typing std:: all the time.

Daniel

[Dev-C++] Portble Threads (is there really such a thing?)

[David M. <ci...@ya...>]

I am assisting with a project that I believe will benifit
from the use of threads. However the group that I am
working with does not want tolose portability just to get
threads. What portable thread packages are avalible and are
there any success stories that anyone on the list has had
with these various packages.

Thanks in advance

Re[2]: [Dev-C++] how to use "srand"

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

The problem with the normal rand() is that the low bits of it are not very
rando, so rand()%11 have a tendancy to generate a very ugly pattern.

Re: [Dev-C++] FW: What does this mean ?

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

(MegacoParser *) is a typecast. What it means is that on the line

if (currentParser == (MegacoParser *)0)

currentParser is checked against the value of 0 AS IF IT WAS A POINTER TO 
TYPE MegacoParser.

Why this cast is in there I don't know, as 0 is 0 anywhere surely?

That's what I reckon anyway.

Re[2]: [Dev-C++] how to use "srand"

[Zodiaq <zo...@ac...>]

Hello Daniel and all Dev-C++ users,

Thursday, March 20, 2003, 12:04:44 PM, Daniel wrote as follows:

DG> ??? Are you sure? I thought the seed was used to make numbers 'more random'? 
DG> Can you explain seeding a little bit more?

random numbers generated by rand() are generated by this algorithm:
-take some number - here where srand() is used
-add to "some number" A VERY BIG INT (constant value, I don't know
exactly what it is) which generates new number which is bigger than
biggest possible int value - when this happens "some number" new value
is exactly what is over max_int

Each time you use rand() second part is repeated and "some number"
value returned... for this algorithm most important is value of "A
VERY BIG INT"... there are also some more advanced algorithms in net,
but this one is fast and for almost every case just enough - it
generated "pseudo random" numbers...

Re: [Dev-C++] QUESTION ABOUT DATE

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

Actually time_t is normally an integer storing number of seconds since
1970.

localtime converts the number of seconds to a struct tm with time adjusted
for time zone and daylight savings.

gmtime converts the same number of seconds to a struct tm filled in with
UTC time, i.e. time-zone GMT without daylight savings.

For some systems, you might also do gettimeofday() to get sub-second time
resolution.

Re: [Dev-C++] QUESTION ABOUT DATE

[Ricardo R. <ri...@po...>]

You can have different solutions as indicated in Schildt's book.
For instance, one of them is:

*********************
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <time.h>

int main()
{
      struct tm *punt;
      time_t lt;

      lt=time(NULL);
      punt=localtime(&lt);
      printf(asctime(punt));

      system("PAUSE");
      return 0;
}
**********************

(1)  time( ) gives the actual date and hour in a struct of type time_t;
(2)  localtime( ) separates the local time of the struct "lt" in a 
struct of type tm.
(3) asctime( ) converts this information in a char array with the format:
                        day month date hour: minutes:seconds year \n\0

I hope this can help you.

Ricardo.

I'm sure there's one in stdlib.h but I think your best bet is to do a search

Sorry I can't be more specific.

[Dev-C++] Lost with 4.9.7.x and ... headers and using name std;

[Roberto R. <rob...@ar...>]

Hi all,

Im lost with Dev-C++ 4.9.7.x and ... compiler or linker ? results

I had work well lately using:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <time.h>
#include <conio.h>
#include <dos.h>
#include <math.h>
#include <windows.h>
#include <cstdlib.h>
#include <iostream.h>

With new one versions Dev-C++ / mingw mean 4.9.7.4 and forward
Start figthed with:

/*#include <cstdlib.h>*/
#include <cstdlib>
/*#include <iostream.h>*/
#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

all the time compiler told me:

no such file or directory or some like [Linker error] undefined 
reference to `__gxx_personality_v0'

What mean "using namespace std;" ??

Sorry, I dont work with c++ mean just c

Need I reinstall a old version again and forget ?. Please give me some 
ideas about.

Thanks in advance

Roberto

Hello every body:
I've got a question, so stupid but here is, which function(in what header is

Sorry if this question is so stupid but I need to know.
i tried with  time.h where there is a definition of some structure than 
store a date but i did not find some function like "getdate".

[Dev-C++] Help ..WIN32 Api app

[Louis G. <lg...@ya...>]

Greetings

I'm trying to learn how write WIN32 API apps using DevC++ and 
want to start off with a very basic app that has a main menu 
with three items:
1. FILE (with submenus for OPEN, CLOSE, SAVE, SAVE AS, PRINT, EXIT)...the
usual WIN32 file functions
2. EDIT (with submenus CUT,COPY, PASTE, SELECT ALL) ... the usual WIN32
clipboard functions
3. RUN ( with submenus RUN1, RUN2, RUN3)
   ..so that when a user clicks on RUN1 DOS .exe file#1 runs, 
   RUN2 runs DOS .exe file#2 etc. 

I'm OK constructing .cpp based console apps using DevC++ and now
  want to learn using good source code examples how to do this basic 
  WIN32 API app in DevC++.

Can anyone share a WIN32 .CPP source code file that does 
   something similar ?

Any help is appreciated.

Re: [Dev-C++] Resource files

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

Some resource editors allows you to edit the resources in situ. You just
open an existing exe file - make my anoone - and translates... the
resources and then saves them back to the exe file.

Re[2]: [Dev-C++] Resource files

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

The xx.res file is just a middle step during the build of the application,
just like the xx.o or xx.obj is an itermediate file for the source code.

The last step in the linking will place the xx.res data into the xx.exe or
xx.obj file.

Subject: [Dev-C++] silly question


Dear C++ users,
=20
I have just downloaded Dev-C++ compiler. I am new in the C language.
=20
I have written the simplest program (hello.c). The compile proedure is =
fine,
but when I execute the program I cannot anything in the screen. It seems
that it appears an MS-dos windows and it is closed itself immediately.
=20
Any ideas? I realise that this a silly question but I have to solve it =
in
order go further.
=20
Thanks in advance,
Theodore
