[Dev-C++] Includes

[Gregory H. <gr...@fr...>]

I'm having a problem with includes. When I include in main.cpp a header file
that I created, the debugger gets passed main.cpp without any of the header
files included and this causes errors while debugging, such as undelcared
functions, so that I cannot compile the program. It also makes it difficult
to find other errors in my program. I have tried just copying and pasting
the header file and all other linked files into my code and it compiled
successfully, but I'm programming for a class and the teacher will not let
me copy and paste the header file into main.cpp for my final code. I'm using
version 4.9.6.0. Does anybody know of any way to include these files so that
I don't have to copy and paste, or does anybody know which version this
should work in? I've included my four codes below:

/* MAIN.CPP */
// Make a frog move so many steps.
// Created By: Gregory Hart

// Includes
#include "iostream.h"
#include "frog.h"

// Main function
int main()
{
 // Declare variables
 int position = 0, steps = 0, blanks;
 frog myFrog;

 // Get number of steps
 cout << "How many steps would you like the frog to travel? ";
 cin >> steps;

 // Print out frog
 while (position < steps) {
  blanks = 40 + myFrog.move();
  for (int a=0; a < blanks; ++a)
   cout << " ";
  cout << "*" << endl;
  ++position;
 }
 cout << "The final position is " << (blanks + 1);

 // End program
 return 0;
}

        long myRollCount;
};

dice::dice(int sides)
// postcondition: all private fields initialized

{
    long time = clock();

    srand(time % INT_MAX);
    myRollCount = 0;
    mySides = sides;
}

Re: [Dev-C++] How do I pass arrays of data from a function?

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

Well, destructors are the one of the little extras you get from C++.

All objects - struct variables with a twist :-) - might specify a special
destructor function that should be called the variable is about to die -
run out of scoop or being deleted.

The input and output streams are such objects, and the desctructor
function defined for them will check if the stream is still open, and if
so, automatically flush any pending data and close the stream.

Any good book about C++ contains a chapter or two about how to create and
destroy objects.

That's why I'm asking :)

Points 1 thru 5 well taken. I will try to implement those ideas whenever I
can.

I have learned my lesson concerning 'Save often and save frequently'
because of losing edited graphics files due to power failures.

What is the 'destructor'? The main book that I have been using for
reference has been K&R because I want to learn *relatively* platform
independant code. I don't necessarily like MS but there aren't a whole lot
of people in my target audience that are all that knowledgeable about
Linux, Macintosh, etc.

Point taken. At the begining of the program, the user is asked for the
number of shells that will be involved. Typically, it will be anywhere from
100 to 500 entries. When they sit down to do the data entry, they are in it
for the long haul (they are populating a shell database).

I appreciate your help. When I had C in college, I never made it through
pointers. Life interrupted about that time and I had to ignore school for
1/2 a semester. I passed the class because I had aced all of the
assignments and tests prior, as well as making all of the code run under
DEC Unix, gcc, and MetroWerks/Mac.

Thanks again, I will probably be asking more questions - like talking to
serial ports on NT ARRGGG!

[Dev-C++] gcc 2.95->gcc 3.2 DirectX apps won't compile

[Daniel <zi...@ho...>]

I've been very thoughtful when creating my c++ programs with 2.95; i wanted 
them to compile in gcc 3.2 whenever i switched.
And now I had this -fvtable-thunks SUPER gcc 2.95 _BUG_, which forced me to 
switch to gcc 3.2.
Well well, now the DirectX headers wont compile.
I get TONS of error messages.
Anyone got the directx8.1 package to work with gcc3.2??
Please tell me how.
And perhaps send me a working example?

Thanks a million!

RE: [Dev-C++] WxWINDOW

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

Thank you Santiago, this information convinces me to learn wxWINDOWS
rather than than the WIN32 API.

 The biggest problem programmers have in my opinion is what new products
they should spend their time learning ? Things that reduce
program development time are priority #1 in my book.

Re: [Dev-C++] How do I pass arrays of data from a function?

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

A number of problems here, but that is what learning is about :-)

Number 1.
You can never return the address of a variable declared inside a function
UNLESS that variable is declared static, i.e.
    char* my_function() {
        static char buf[100];
        strcpy(buf,"Hello world");
        return buf;
    }

Number 2.
Your keybd_input is returning a character (the first character in your
array, since return *getKeyString is the same as return getKeyString[0].
The function should be declared:
const char* keybd_input() {
    static char getKeyString[100];
    ....
    return getKeyString;
    // which is the same as
    // return &getKeyString[0]
    // i.e. return a pointer to the first character in your array.
}

Number 3.
Whenever you fill a character array with characters, you should either
ALWAYS use your length variable (x) to keep track of number of valid
characters in the buffer, or you should end your input by inserting a
"termination" character at the end, i.e. directly before the return, you
should write:
    getKeyString[x] = 0;
    // Or possibly: getKeyString[x] = '\0';

Number 4.
Whenever you are filling a finite size (aren't they always) buffer you
should keep track of the available size of your buffer, i.e. a buffer of
size 100 may only store 99 characters plus the terminating zero.
    while ((getKeyString[x] = getchar()) != '\n' && x < 99) {
        x++;
    }

Number 5.
Since you can't have a function return an array of characters, only a
single character, or a pointer to a character, the caller of the function
must perform the copy of the characters to the destination array:
    ShellCount = 0;
    ....
    while (some_break_criteria) {
        strcpy(ShellName[ShellCount++],keybd_input());
        if (ShellCount >= (sizeof(ShellName)/sizeof(ShellName[0])))
            // Have consumed all my 4096 shell strings now. Have to end
            // receiving more strings.
            break;
    }

Number 6.
There isn't any need to reopen that poor a_file for each line you are
about to write out. Open it before the for loop, and close it after the
for loop.
    {
        ofstream a_file(...);
        for (;;) {
        }
        a_file.close();
    }
And the close shouldn't be needed if a_file is defined within a local
scoope, since it will be automatically closed when a_file leaves the
scope, and the destructor is run.

Number 7.
You have to give the program a chance to terminate the input loop somehow.
Maybe you should add a check if the user has pressed enter without
specifying any characters. It might be a bit bothersome if the user has to
enter 4096 separate commands before the program ends.

I home these comments helps you somewhat on the way. Pointers and arrays
does have a way of making the life miserable for C or C++ programmers :-)

Danke Horst.
Ich habe es nichts jetzt versuchts, aber sagen sie es fungiert, es fungiert=
 :-)

That was my poor German, haven't spoken or read it since my early=
 schooldays, like 15-20 years ago.
And heres what I said (I think) in english, because that's the official=
 language of the list :-)

Thanx Horst
Haven't tried it yet, but if you say it works, it works.

Hi,
This works (with mingw2.0.0-3):

#include <iostream>
#include <list>

using namespace std;

int main(int argc, char *argv[]){
  list<int> initialWeightList;
  for(int i=0; i<10; i++)
    initialWeightList.push_back(i);               
 
 list<int>::iterator iter;
 for(
   iter = initialWeightList.begin();
   iter != initialWeightList.end(); // <--- error ?!?!?!
    iter++
    ){
    cout << "Here i do something" << endl;
    }
    
    system("PAUSE");    
}

I think it is wrong to compare two iterators with < because in a list the
items are anywhere in the memory and not in order (as in vector). Iterators are
like pointers. You can compare it with == or !=.

regards
Horst

[Dev-C++] How do I pass arrays of data from a function?

[Rob P. <py...@ea...>]

Hi all,

I'm in the process of trying to teach myself C and C++ but don't have
anyone to ask questions. I hope you all can answer them.

I am using Dev-C++ (4.9.6.0) on NT4 SP6a.

I am collecting a character stream from the keyboard and storing it in a
character array from within a function. When I try to pass this back up to
the calling program, I want to put this data also into an array.

Here is the code I have :

parts of the program that call the function:

/* fn() prototypes */
char keybd_input();

int main()
{
  char    ShellName[4096][100];
  char    getShellName[100];

   cout<<"Please enter the shell name: ";
   *getShellName = keybd_input();  // get the keyboard characters
   ShellName[x] = getShellName;    // is this the where I'm doing it wrong?
   cout<<"ShellName["<<x<<"] = "<<ShellName[x]<<endl;

for (x=0; x<ShellCount; x++)
 {
   ofstream a_file(getFileName, ios::app); /* opens a text file to append
to */
   a_file<<ShellIndex[x]<<"\t";
   a_file<<"\n";
   a_file.close();
 }
}

the function:

char keybd_input()
{
  int x ; 					// counter var
  char getKeyString[100];			// character array from keyboard

  cout<<"Please enter a long string: ";

  x=0;
  while(( getKeyString[x] = getchar() ) != '\n')
  {
   getKeyString[x];
   x++;
  }
  return *getKeyString;
}


My problem is that I am only getting the first character of the data passed
back from the function.

Any ideas on how to fix this? 
Your help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

--->Rob

Re: [Dev-C++] FLTK demo

[Johnathon R. L. <jr...@ch...>]

Per,
   Thanks for the information.  I couldn't find anything 
that would have adversly affected my sh.exe due to an 
update.  After some trial and error, I found that by 
removing the reference to the FLTK icon in the Project 
Properties Dialog that it would compile and run cleanly. 
 Unsure if I need to pursue this any farther...it's 
working for me.

Thanks again,

Re: [Dev-C++] Re: learning c++, best book

[Santiago <sa...@ho...>]

So since .NET has nothing to do with C++, one doesn't need to learn C++ =
in order to learn .NET??
Also, Ioannis Vranos say: "Something very important. The next Windows =
version codenamed "Longhorn"
will provide *only* managed .NET APIs. MS is committed to provide .NET
APIs for all its products. "
So, does that mean win32API applications won't work on "Longhorn"?

[Dev-C++] STL list problem

[<qa...@ho...>]

Hello all,

I get an errormessage when I compile and I can't figure out what the=
 problem is.
Here's the code

#include <iostream>
#include <list>

int main(int argc, char *argv[]){
  list<int> initialWeightList;
  for(int i=3D0; i<10; i++)
    initialWeightList.push_back(i);               
 
 list<int>::iterator iter;
 for(
   iter =3D initialWeightList.begin(); 
   iter < initialWeightList.end(); // <--- error ?!?!?!
    iter++
    ){
    cout << "Here i do something" << endl;
    }    
}

and here's the errormessage

12 D:\Programmering\IDE\Dev-Cpp\__Projects\Test\main.cpp
no match for `_List_iterator<int,int &,int *> & < _List_iterator<int,int=
 &,int *>'

The for-statement is split up so I can locate the error

Any ideas?
If I replace all list<int> by vector<int>, and include <vector> ofcourse,=
 it works just fine.

RE: [Dev-C++] WxWINDOWS and Dev-C++

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

Well, it definitely makes sense to make a makefile according to the
sammple below. That makes it easy to compile to application in other
environments when Dev-Cpp isn't supported or available. For my Unix and
release builds, I use a makefile similar to the example below.

Re: [Dev-C++] FLTK demo

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

After a recent update of Dev-Cpp one project of mine suddenly started
to emit a simpilar error in the link step. It was my "sh" that was a bit
broken and needed to be replaced. I don't know if the update of Dev-Cpp
increased the line length of the link command or whatever changed, but a
newer version of sh did solve my problem.

RE: [Dev-C++] WxWINDOWS and Dev-C++

Hi again,

Sorry for the misunderstanding Per, you're right! ;oD

I was thinking about using wxWindows directly, not only within the IDE...=

But since this is the dev-cpp mailing list, I kind of assumed that he wan=
ted
to use the IDE functionality of Dev-Cpp, which includes the generation of=

make-files.

I'm not using the pre-packaged wxWindows package for dev-cpp, but I kind =
of
assume that the package comes with a project template. If it doesn't, it'=
s
quite easy to create a suitable template, by duplicating the different fl=
ags
and settings that the wxWindows make-files uses.

RE: [Dev-C++] WxWINDOW

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

wxWindows is a bit easier to use, but that comes with a couple of gotchas
for an old MFC programmer.

MFC uses VERY aggresive broadcasts of events between the different windows
in the program. In wxWindows on the other hand, you often notices that for
an example a list control doesn't get a menu event, because one of the
parent windows have processed the event - or actually, decided not to
forward the event any deeper in the hierarchy. So either you have to
modify the parent window to specifically pick up the event and forward it
yourself, or you have to teach the list control to register an event
handler filter to make sure that it catches the event.

Other thins to notice is that depending on the defines used when compiling
the wxWindows library for Windows, a number of nice extras might not work.
If you check around in the source code, you will notice that you have to
add _WIN32_IE=3D0x???? something, to specify which minimum version of
windows "gadgets" to support, i.e. if you have tree controls, and what the
tree control may do, if you should be able to set color for individual=20
lines of a list control etc.

There are also some regions of the wxWindows library that are more than a
little bit "rough". Try to write a well-behaved print-preview, and yoy'll
quickly notice that this is kind of work in progress. If the user selects
70% scale in a preview input field, your code doesn't get to see this
value, but after a lot of evaluation - comparing the received windows
memory context with the printer context, you might have to set a scaling
factor of 1.05 in the device context to get the 70% scaling :-)

The availability of really good resource editors for wxWindows are also a
bit lacking compared to MFC.

But in the end. Why pay to M$, when wxWindows WILL manage to create
commercial-grade applications, and with the side effect of making a
carefully crafted program to work on Mac, OS/2, Linux GTK, Linux Motif,
Win 3.1... besides the Win32 version. And if you find a bug, YOU may fix
it the same day.

[Dev-C++] FLTK demo

[Johnathon R. L. <jr...@ch...>]

Hello All,
  I try to create a new FLTK project.  After saving the 
boilerplate files (created by choosing the FLTK type 
project), my doubleE.cpp files contents look like this:

#include <FL/Fl.H>
#include <FL/Fl_Window.H>
#include <FL/Fl_Box.H>

int
main (int argc, char *argv[])
{
     Fl_Window *window;
     Fl_Box *box;

     window = new Fl_Window (300, 180);
     box = new Fl_Box (20, 40, 260, 100, "Hello World!");

     box->box (FL_UP_BOX);
     box->labelsize (36);
     box->labelfont (FL_BOLD+FL_ITALIC);
     box->labeltype (FL_SHADOW_LABEL);
     window->end ();
     window->show (argc, argv);

     return Fl::run();

When I try to compile, I receive this compiler error:

Line: make.exe
Unit: F:\doubleE\make.exe
Message: Interrupt/Exception caught(code=0xc0000005, addr

I believe I've done this successfully in the past and am 
unsure of what I may have changed.  Any suggestions?

RE: [Dev-C++] WxWINDOWS and Dev-C++

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

But since this is the dev-cpp mailing list, I kind of assumed that he
wanted to use the IDE functionality of Dev-Cpp, which includes the
generation of make-files.

I'm not using the pre-packaged wxWindows package for dev-cpp, but I kind
of assume that the package comes with a project template. If it doesn't,
it's quite easy to create a suitable template, by duplicating the
different flags and settings that the wxWindows make-files uses.

RE: [Dev-C++] WxWINDOWS and Dev-C++

[Santiago P. C. <San...@yd...>]

Hi again,

In order to use all wxWindows switches & options for MinGW, you'll only n=
eed
to use a makefile like the following one (you only have to modify 'OBJECT=
S'
to fit your needs):
<MAKEFILE>
=09# Makefile for wxWindows (Mingw32).
=09# WXDIR =3D D:/wxWindows/v2.3.3 (or whatever your base directory is)

=09TARGET=3DMyApp
=09OBJECTS =3D $(TARGET).o MyFrame.o MyOtherStuff.o

=09include $(WXDIR)/src/makeprog.g95
</MAKEFILE>

This is almost the same makefile used by the samples provided by wxWindow=
s!
So if you are able to build them you'll be able to compile your own proje=
ct.

Hope this helps!
Regards, Santy

The problem is that you have forgotten do define which compiler environme=
nt
you are using.

Deefine __GNUWIN32__ and wxWindows will select a suitable string compare
function.

A good trick when playing along with the wxWindows kit is to run the
makefiles in the samples directory. When they compile the code, you will =
see
a number of parameters sent to gcc. If you make sure that your own projec=
ts
uses the same parameters, you will be home-free.

You will get all needed libraries, same settings for run-time type
information, debug settings etc.

The problem is that you have forgotten do define which compiler
environment you are using.

Deefine __GNUWIN32__ and wxWindows will select a suitable string compare
function.

A good trick when playing along with the wxWindows kit is to run the
makefiles in the samples directory. When they compile the code, you will
see a number of parameters sent to gcc. If you make sure that your own
projects uses the same parameters, you will be home-free.

You will get all needed libraries, same settings for run-time type

[Dev-C++] Re: int troupper function

[Christophe C. <chr...@fr...>]

> i am trying to compile a program written in visual c++ 6.0 and it says
this is the first use of 'int troupper' function and no declaration of it!
where can i get an include file with it or what should i put in my source

I think there's no function named troupper. You should have mispelled the
standard toupper() function provided in... well, I don't remember, maybe
string.h or stdlib.h, or another standard C library...

Good luck
