Well let UNICODE aside. wchar_t is a wide character type existing in
*all* machines. It belongs to the C/C++ standards. In C90 wchar_t is a
typedef defined in stddef.h. In C++98 it is a *built in* type (and in
all machines using UNICODE, wchar_t is usually UNICODE).

I see no reason why "activate" or "deactivate" wide character support
using "compilation under condition". If your code needs wide character
support so as to work in some platforms, use wchar_t in the first place
(something bad, from all the compilers i have seen, wcout doesn't exist
in MINGW's <iostream> and probably in GCC itself).


Forget all the Win32 bad programming styles. :)

[Dev-C++] Some include files

[B. <ama...@uo...>]

I need to run the client-server Douglas Comer example, but I didn't find
the following include files in the $DEVC$/include dir:
    socket.h
    in.h
    netdb.h
    pwd.h

Where can I find them? For Win'9x and Linux?

[Dev-C++] Dev-cpp 4.9.6.4 with last mingw 2.0.0.3 distribution errors

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

Hi all,

I´ve tried to  use dev-cpp with new mingw 2.0.0.3, I read here some 
about make name changes, so I rename and copy min...-make.exe in 
make.exe (tryed with both) , I changed all the directories references, 
but some looks wrong. Im working in c just not c++.

This is the dump compiler / linker results (help linker tell me some 
about generic error in your source) of course all work well with the 
distribution from dev-cpp.

¿Any ideas?
 
[Linker error] undefined reference to `std::ios_base::Init::Init()'
[Linker error] undefined reference to `std::ios_base::Init::~Init()'
[Linker error] undefined reference to `__gxx_personality_v0'
 C:\Dev-Cpp\c\Makefile.win
[Build Error] make.exe: *** [Myprog.exe] Error 1

Thanks in advance

I forget how I found out about this site, but

<http://www.relisoft.com/Win32/index.htm>

has a nice tutorial that combines C++ with Win32 programming. The
author, Bartosz Milewski, also wrote a book that includes this topic:

<http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0201699486/ref=cm_wl_ovu-pg.3-pos.3/002-2926871-2852856?coliid=I1801V7EXRPBCR>

Occasionally, the book is mentioned on this list.

The only win32 API book I have is the one Bartosz suggests, Rector and
Newcomer's Win32 Programming, which is okay but it is aimed primarily
at C programmers.

<http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0201634929/qid=1035072143/sr=1-1/ref=sr_1_1/002-2926871-2852856?v=glance>

Just my .02.

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

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

Hi, thanks for all you help in the past. I'm studying C++ and haven't even
touched windows programming with c++. I'd like to find the best possible
book for my case scenario. I'm almost done with the "basics" for c++ and I'm
looking to move towards windows programming. I need a book which teaches me
windows from the scratch. However, I really don't know which way to go. The
newer books only talk about .NET and C#, while the so called "best" C++
books are from 1998, 99 and 2000. Would it be better to go ahead and buy one
of those books that talk about both or should I get done with win32 API
first before I move on to .NET/C#? Or should I even bother learning .NET?
A dream book would be a recent one that teaches how to built windows
application using win32 API with all its latest components and then guide me
through .NET

This is very important for me because with the little time I have to study,
I really can't afford to waist any time with the wrong or obsolete
reference.
I will appreciate any feedback you may provide.

Thanks

RE: [Dev-C++] Make switch condition an enum

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

Guess the definition of _T("x")...

#if defined(_UNICODE) || defined(UNICODE)
#define _T(x) L##x
#else
#define _T(x) x
#endif

This is the OFFICIAL way of writing portable MFC or wxWindows programs.
The L"Hello world" concept requires you to change a huge number of strings
whenever you want to activate/deactivate unicode support.

As you can probably guess, all functions taking a string as a parameter
must also be specially handled.

// Microsoft
#if defined(_UNICODE) || defined(UNICODE)
#define _tcslen	wcslen
#else
#define _tcslen strlen
#endif

// wxWindows
size_t wxStrlen(const wxChar *s);

I do not know Win32 API-specific stuff but concerning ANSI C and ANSI
C++ you can define a string literal as a wide character one by placing
the capital letter L in front of it. For example consider the C90
program:


#include <stdio.h>
#include <stddef.h>

int main()
{
 const wchar_t *ws=L"Wide character string";

 wprintf(L"%s\n", ws);

 return 0;
}

RE: [Dev-C++] Make switch condition an enum

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

The _T(x) is a macro used by a Microsoft Developer Studio, the wxWindows
framework etc, to handle wide/non-wide, characters. All you have to do is
to #define _UNICODE (or sometimes #define UNICODE, or in wxWindows
#define wxUSE_UNICODE 1) to switch all "tagged"
strings to wide character strings.

[Fwd: [Dev-C++] WxWINDOW]

[Carlos d. M. <cg...@wo...>]

Oops! What a messs, sorry in the answer I got an idea about a thing and
I forgot what I was writing...
Edit fonts.h or whatever file says that, search for the string
"yakyakdefineyakyakcase-insensitiveyakyak", that is inside an #error
directive, over it is a #idefs structure, search for the symbol for gcc,
you have to define it before including wx.h.

Re: [Dev-C++] WxWINDOW

[Carlos d. M. <cg...@wo...>]

You have to edit fonts.h (perhaps other, I'm not sure, see the file which=
 produces that
message).
As I said there seems to be people who achieved to work with wxwindows, b=
ut I never. I
gave up and I deleted all wxwindows from my computer.

Enumerators are user defined integral types taking discrete, user
defined values. For example:

// Mon=0, Tue=1, Wed=2, Thu=8, Fri=9 Sat=20 Sun=21
enum Days { Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu=8, Fri, Sat=20, Sun};


The above is the type. It does not occupy space the same as int, or a
class does not occupy space by itself. Its objects do:


Days oneday=Wed;


switch(oneday)
{
 case Mon:
// ...
}

>       break;
> 
>     default:

What is that _T you are using all the time anyway? It seems to me
something like "boxing" (as it happens in .NET for example).

A proper one version:

#include <iostream>
#include <sstream>

int main()
{
 using std::stringstream;
 using std::endl;

 stringstream s;
 s << endl;

 return 0;
}


With GCC 3.2 it doesn't crash but it produces:

C:\c>g++ -fvtable-thunks temp.cpp -o temp
cc1plus.exe: warning: -fvtable-thunks is no longer supported

C:\c>temp

C:\c>

[Dev-C++] How to "re-point" Dev-cpp to use latest version of g++

[Andy E. <and...@pa...>]

Hi.  I'm new to the list , and was wanting to know how to change Dev-cpp =
so that it uses the latest version of g++. I'm using Win98.=20
I have cygwin on my PC which uses the latest g++ - version 3.2.  , and =
just need to know  the Cygwin directories that Dev-cpp's "binaries", =
"libraries" and "C++ includes" should be repointed to.  =20

 Many thanks in advance ... :-)

Re: Re: [Dev-C++] -fvtable-thunks and CRASH!

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

What I mean is:
When that simple program is compiled, under gcc 2.95 with mingw32, windows =
terminates the application somwhere inside the line:
s << endl;
(standard error message, illegal operation or what it is called). In other =
words "segmentation fault".
This is when it's compiled with:
-fvtable-thunks
that flag has to be there for directx to work under gcc. (the COM part i gu=
ess).
Taking away that compiler option makes it run like a charm. It took me quit=
e som time to figure out th eproblem, isolated from a large one :)
The LAST think i removed was the -fvtable-thunks, who could know?

Please someone, tell me how to fix it.=20

Thanks for the answer, I have no clue how to solve it, hope someone does!

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

[Mark L. W. <ma...@al...>]

Hello all!

Sorry to be such a pain regarding WxWINDOWS and Dev-C++, but....

I have been trying to compile some of the sample code included with the
WxWINDOWS package.  When I try compiling I get the following message (along
with other things...)

4 C:\PROGRAM FILES\DEV-C++\include\wx\string.h:170
#error "Please define string case-insensitive compare for your OS/compiler"

So... How do I define string case-insensitive compare in Dev-C++???

Thanks in advance...

[Dev-C++] I am a new user of dev-cpp...Add multiple archives to projects fails if they are write protected

[<emi...@ar...>]

- Add multiple archives to projects fails if they are write protected. I
have to add them one by one.
	As I am working with WinCvs it is normal to have files in read-only mode.

- Is it possible to manage more than one proyect in dev-cpp, and stablish
dependency one on others?.

Thanks,

Hi,

here ist one:

#ifndef PROCABI_H
#define PROCABI_H

#include <vector>

class TProzessfaehigkeit {
     typedef std::vector<double>::size_type vec_sz;
     std::vector<double> TMW;
     bool valid();
     double sx;  // sum x
     double sxx; // sum sqr(x)
   public:
    [...]
};

#endif

Thats the Header. 

In the implementation file you need:

using namespace std;
or better 
using std::vector;

and then you can write e.g.:

int TProzessfaehigkeit::calc() {
  
  typedef vector<double>::iterator vec_it;
[...]
}

Something like this:

enum ErrorType { ERROR_ONE = 1, ERROR_TWO }

and then the same code with SomeError being of type ErrorType rather than
int (as I assume it is here).


For those of you who are interested, a helmet saved my life yesterday, after
a crash at 90 kph.

Oh, sorry, I thought you got the package from dev home page, which is a
devpak.

What I did was this: (having gcc[C:\Dev-Cpp\Bin] in the path)
1- I unpacked it to C:\wxMSW
2 - open command.exe

4 - type make -f makefile.g95 and wait, then I ran over some of the other

The bad news are that I never could make it work, except for the examples

couldn't compile any one.

The first you must do when making a project is define __GNUWIN32__ and
define
UNICODE, and define __WXMSW__

And a lot of compiler options, linker parameters... search in the dev
mailing
list, I don't remember when they answered me with all those options you m=

provide, more or less six or seven months ago or before.
