[Dev-C++] possible changes to Dev-C++

Here are two small things which could be worth a little attention:

1. the command "rm" (used to erase files, when making the "clean" target), 
is not available on old Win98SE, only "del" is implemented there and it 
expects one argument (so one may erase: a single file or more than one file 
but only using wildcards).


2. The Execute->Syntax Check, could have an icon so that it may be used 
more often, and why not consider the command "gcc -c source.c" in place of 
"gcc -S source.c -o nul"? The former one would generate the object file (if 
there is no error during the compilation) which would only need to be 
linked when one cliks on the "Compile" button to build the executable.

I suppose you are using Dev-C++, and running programs from within the IDE.
So you only see a flashing black screen.

You will hear about putting some line of code in your program that pauses 
it, allowing you to read the output, I personally believe that no extra 
line of code should be added to the program, because the problem is related 
to the OS (Windows) not to the program itself, instead you should run this 
kind of programs from a DOS box (in fact they are console applications, and 
as such, the natural way of using them, is within a console).

BTW: your program has a small bug. In fact, The 'T' of "This" is not 
displayed in the reversed string (while the terminating '\0' is displayed 
twice). I'm tempted to fix it, but that would take the fun away from you :)

Re: [Dev-C++] [RELEASE] Dev-C++ 4.9.3.0 beta available !

[<ste...@ge...>]

I have a question about the new realease...

I compile my project, and then if I want to compile straight after again the
compiler says;
"cannot open output file Clod.exe D:\Dev-C++_4930\mingw32\bin\ld.exe -
Permission denied"
Then I wait for a while (maybe 10secs or so), and then it compiles fine
again.
What's the reason for this? I can't either delete my exe until a few second
after compilation..

Thanks!

[Dev-C++] Problems debugging.

[Mark A. M. <fly...@be...>]

Using beta 3 release on Win98SE.

Whenever I try to start a debug session I receive an error message that says:

    "Error with debugging process : GetStdHandle"

Is anyone else experiencing this or is it my setup?

[Dev-C++] gotoxy -> HTML is evil

[Andres R. <lo...@ho...>]

Hello!

Bob, IMO you are a Bill Gates of that list! HTML is evil and specialy
with M$ products.
About viruses.. ' active involvement' in not always neceseary. Your
precius Outlooks have so much open doors to use to get a virus in!
About HTML code generated by M$ products: it's the worst I've ever seen
in my entire life! Try generate a webpage using Frontpage or even worst,
Word. Then wind up Macromedia DreamWeaver and try clean up code. Then
you can see how much irrelavent tags you have in there. For example: Do
a usual table (5x5) in word and by hand. Word generates 3k file than
handmade is only about 200 bytes! What a waste.

Have you ever used some other OP systems than Windows?? You should!

Andres.

Well, that all depends! What follows is better than what is above.=20
Here's my list of arguments:=20
=95 You're only sending an email here. Markups are completely redundant.
All this HTML only waste space and bandwidth.
=95 HTML mail with hardcoded fontnames look horrible in my Linux
emailclient.=20
=95 HTML mail can contain script viruses.=20
=95 HTML mail mess up the archives. When you try to see a message in the
archive, you see all the HTML code instead of the email!
Let's look at your arguments one-by-one:
1. Yes, I am sending an email, the purpose of which is to transmit
information. Understanding is enhanced with good formatting which is
allowed with automated html email programs such as Outlook or Outlook
Express. The multiple ">" which appear in non html forwarded emails can
not only inhibit comprehension, but also the inability of such an email
does not have any word wrap which combined with the ">" can make the
whole message damn near unintelligible.=20
2. This is the real problem, your environment or at least your email
program.
3. It is certainly true that I or anyone else can build an html file
which will do nasty things, but the programs that generate html enabled
emails (Outlook, Outlook Express) will not activate a virus without the
active involvement of the person who receives the email.=20
4. Again it is your environment that is the problem.=20

RE: [Dev-C++] gotoxy

[Brian P. <br...@su...>]

In the end the whole issue boils down to this:  It is (and has always
been) considered in poor taste to use HTML formating when posting to
discussion forums using email.  There rarely are ever any written rules
to this effect; it has just always been understood.  Call it common
net-icate.  The reasons, the main reasons, people don't want HTML in the
emails are two (one stated already): bandwidth and, believe it or not,
there are still people using email clients that don't translate HTML
coding.  So, the word is, be nice and use text-only mode when posting. 
That's all.  No law, no punishment (usually), just be considerate.

I really like Dev-C++! (Sorry, I felt that I must say something about
the program since that is what this list is for :-)

RE: [Dev-C++] gotoxy

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

Well... I don't want to start a flame-war right now but...

We can 'take a look to your arguments' also:

1 - Information can be send without HTML formatting, and yes, it will be
fully understandable! Just think about C/C++ code, it's written in plain
text and you do not need 'extra formatting' to understand it ;o)

2 - While talking about text/document formatting we can say it is like text
editting for coding: you can use graphical IDEs (like Dev-C++ / KDevelop) or
you can use console programs (like aedit / vi). Should I stop using 'vi'
because there is 'emacs'?

3 - You're NOT sending e-mails to your friends, you're posting/requesting
information on a mailing list.. I think it is a little bit different ;o)

4 - Indentation, word-wrapping, '>' chars... If you do not care about how
your text/document looks like, your mail program / editor will not do that
job for you =8-O

5 - 'Plain text vs HTML mail war' is quite similar to 'text editors vs text
processors': Will you use M$ Word, WordPerfect or so to write a simple text?
So 'Plain TEXT vs HTML mail war' is not to be solved by 'change your email
client: it's your problem!' ;o)
We are talking about what is needed: HTML is not needed here, I know it is
fine and funny (web browsing is good and the web is really full of info),
but it is not necessary in a mailing list... Even more, it can become
annoying in certain cases!!!

BTW: Talking about virusses and so on... Do you really think that 'Melissa
and its friends' will ask the user for confirmation on their actions?

Just my 2 cents!

Your message only contains a few lines of bold text. How does such a

Emails were designed to display well *everywhere*. Which email client 
I'm using should not matter.
This is exactly the problem: you'll have to use Windows just to be able 
to read emails well.

If MS just ditch HTML and script support, invisible script viruses would 
not exist at all.

This is not "my" environment, I'm talking about the mailing list's email 
archive here!
You're messing up the archive, so no matter which 
browser/OS/computer/whatever you're using, if you look at the HTML mails 
in the archive, you will only see HTML tags.

Why doesn't anybody read the FAQ or use the Console App template...

Add system("pause"); to the end of your main() function.

Re: [Dev-C++] Generic C++ question.

[<tar...@wi...>]

Hi,

1. user code calls function which returns pointer to allocated memory
2. user code uses memory by pointer
3. user code must deallocate memory (by calling function)
4. user code is not allowed to access memory by pointer anymore.

make shure that you use same syntax for free comand.

Re: [Dev-C++] Generic C++ question.

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

I think that memory can be deallocated using free at any time so long as you 
have char* still around. So I'm assuming in your function (method) you have
char* pX;
pX malloc(whatever) ((I do C++))
return pX;

you can use pX in the main() function to deallocate with free.

Hello,

I tried to build tha OpenGL example that comes with Dev-C++ and I got
the following errormessage:

ld C:\Programme\Dev-C++\Examples\OpenGL\ld
cannot open crt2.o: No such file or directory.

It seems to be a Path problem, but the library path for the compilor is
set to /../dev-c++/lib
I set this path again in the project options but this doesn't change
anything.
Where might my problem be located?

Thanks for any hints.

Hi,

I just checked the URL and it works.
My e-mail program truncated the URL.
Please try again, the last part of the URL should be rc_6cs3.asp instead of
"rc_6".

Regards,
Yeoh

[Dev-C++] GCC language extensions

[Ioannis V. <no...@ho...>]

I have found this interesting article
http://www.linux-mag.com/2002-01/compile_01.html regarding GCC supported
language extensions in constructs etc. There are many useful things
there for our MINGW compiler (which is a GCC port for Windows).

Well, that all depends! What follows is better than what is above.=20
  Here's my list of arguments:=20
    a.. You're only sending an email here. Markups are completely =
redundant. All this HTML only waste space and bandwidth.
    b.. HTML mail with hardcoded fontnames look horrible in my Linux =
emailclient.=20
    c.. HTML mail can contain script viruses.=20
    d.. HTML mail mess up the archives. When you try to see a message in =
the archive, you see all the HTML code instead of the email!

Let's look at your arguments one-by-one:
  1.. Yes, I am sending an email, the purpose of which is to transmit =
information. Understanding is enhanced with good formatting which is =
allowed with automated html email programs such as Outlook or Outlook =
Express. The multiple ">" which appear in non html forwarded emails can =
not only inhibit comprehension, but also the inability of such an email =
does not have any word wrap which combined with the ">" can make the =
whole message damn near unintelligible.=20
  2.. This is the real problem, your environment or at least your email =
program.
  3.. It is certainly true that I or anyone else can build an html file =
which will do nasty things, but the programs that generate html enabled =
emails (Outlook, Outlook Express) will not activate a virus without the =
active involvement of the person who receives the email.=20
  4.. Again it is your environment that is the problem.=20

Bob

   forward_and_backwards(line_of_char, index);

   return 0;

In C++ DO NOT USE malloc()/free(). malloc()/free() do  not call the
objects' constructors and destructors. In C++ use only new, delete,
new[] and delete[].

The caller of the function is responsible to clear the memory returned
by the called function, if it allocated memory on the free store.

E.g.:

char *something()
{
 char *p=new char[100];

 for(int i=0; i<100; i++)
   p[i]='a';

return p;
}


int main()
{
 char *ptr=something();

  // play with ptr

  delete[] ptr;
}


In C++ avoid programming in such low level. Use the standard library
containers instead which supress any need for explicit  resource
allocation and deallocation. For example:


#include <vector>

const std::vector<char> something()
{
  using std::vector;
  
  vector<char>p(100);
  
  for(vector<char>::size_type i=0; i<p.size(); i++)
     p[i]='a';
     
  return p;
}


int main()
{
  using namespace std;
  
  vector<char>array=something();
  
  // play with array


// array is destroyed automatically, all its contents
// are cleared, element desttructors are called. No possibility
// for memory leak (and in general for ANY resource leak!)
}  


If you find that the vector<char> return of something() is expensive,
you can pass the "array" vector to something() by reference and fill it
there.

In summary, try to use C++ as a high level language and not as low level
one. There is much to gain from that. Unfortunately it usually is
teached and used in low level style (usually by C programmers since C++
is  very newly "official" language, it got standardised just in 1998).

[Dev-C++] Generic C++ question.

[J M. <jm...@we...>]

Hi all,

If a method returns a char pointer (char*).

If the above method does a malloc() to allocate memory
for some text (or something) and then fills that memory.

The char* is returned to the user code.

Who (or which code) is responsible for doing a free() on the char*?

RE: [Dev-C++] [RELEASE] Dev-C++ 4.9.3.0 beta available !

[Andres R. <lo...@ho...>]

Hello!

From thee other letter/thread Hongli Lai wrote:
	Hm... you're right. There's a bug in Dev-C++ parsing code.
	I'm going to fix it now. The next version will include the
bugfix.

My question is: can't you make 'snapshots' to get mid-fixed versions?
For example 4.9.3.1 ;)
I checked Bloodshed website and 4.9.2.0 wos released exactly 1 month
ago. So, wating a new release (alpha, beta, gamma or waht ever) to get
some bugs fixed is kinda long IMHO.
