Re: [Dev-C++] roadmap

[lordSauron <lor...@gm...>]

Perhaps we should actually make it in C++ and then use some
open-source cross-platform UI library, like FLTK or something...

I've always wanted to see if it'd be possible to make a really cool
editor that used nothing but OpenGL to render the whole thing, so that
it'd be like a window that doesn't even call win32 stuff at all, but
I'm just fantasizing so if I'm speaking outside of reality just ignore
me.

RE: [Dev-C++] roadmap

[Mark R. <mar...@ma...>]

I wasn't aware that it was Delphi.  Bummer indeed.
 
Time perhaps to look at some other tools.

Re: [Dev-C++] roadmap

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

The biggest problem with Dev-C++ is the Delphi part. A lot of people would
have sent in bug fixes and patches with new features instead of bug
reports and wish lists if C++ had been used.

I do not believe much (if any) development work is being done on Dev-C++ an=
y
more. I do know that one of the developers is now working on the
Code::Blocks project, an IDE very much like Dev-C++ except it is written in
C++/wxwidgets and quite popular.

[Dev-C++] Detection of windows. Java programmer needs C help.

[<jrg...@ya...>]

Hello everybody.

Here's the background story. I love to play scrabble online (for you =
Swedes
who reads this, visit www.betapet.com if you want to play). I have =
written a
small program that helps me to keep track of which the remaining letters =
are
(click on the link for a screenshot:
http://www.holdemprogs.com/Tracker.jpg). As it is now I manually either =
have
to type in the letters or use my mouse by clicking on the letters when I
want to reduce the number of unknowns. During the game I more or less =
always
at some point forget to update my little program forcing me to reset and
reenter all of the known letters in the input field. I thought if I =
could
automate the process of updating it would be great. As far as I know =
there
are two ways of finding out which the new letters being put on the board
are:
1) Using some sort of sniffer (I think that's what it called) that =
listens
to the communication between the browser and the game server=20
or
2) Image processing by comparing screenshots.

I personally have no idea how to do the first, so I'm going to go with =
the
second option, using some sort of neural network.

I could of course take a screenshot of my whole screen and do the =
processing
from there, but I feel that that will cause unessecary load to the CPU. =
This
bring me to the real reason of this letter. I would like to identify the
game window by getting the text in the title bar and when a positive
identification is made find out the size and position of the window. =
This is
not something I can do directly in Java but I think it could be done by
using JNI (Java Native Interface). Unfortunatelly my limited knowledge =
of C
and C++ doesn't include Windows API programming so I'm totally stuck.

At Planet Source Code I found a piece of code, see
http://www.planet-source-code.com/vb/scripts/ShowCode.asp?txtCodeId=3D657=
3&lng
WId=3D3, that alters the window text of the active window by adding the
current memory status. From this code I could figure out that the =
function
GetWindowText(=85) was used for getting the text in the title bar, but I =
din't
get much of the rest.

I would really appreciate if any of you guys could help me out by =
writing
source code for the below methods.
string[] getWindowTextForAllWindows()
int getX(string windowText)
int getY(string windowText)
int getWidth(string windowText)
int getHeight(string windowText)
bool isWindowActive(string windowText) // If the window isn't in front
there's no use in taking a screenshot

A thousand thanks in advance and best regards,
J=F6rgen Persson

Re: [Dev-C++] Place Objects in memory section

[Wolf P. <pe...@re...>]

Hi,
you can place Objects into given memory space using the "new placement 
syntax" (google-ready).
You have simply to add the following "method" to a class (or struct):

class Placeable {
  public:
  //...
      void* operator new( size_t, void* buf ) { return buf; }
  //...
};

this "method" is the overriden new-operator with placement semantics.
For instantiation you have to write:

extern void* address; // your memory section

Placeable* placed = new (address) YourStruct(/*constructor arguments if 
any*/); // constructor with arguments
Placeable* placed = new (address) YourStruct; // constructor without 
arguments

note you must not use the delete-operator on the object created by 
overriden new.
for clenup (if needed) you have to define a destructor that you call 
explicitly:
placed->Placeable::~Placeable();

Good luck,
Wolf Peuker

Re: [Dev-C++] I cant uninstall Dev-C++

[Alfred P. R. <al...@ya...>]

This installation should not have modified the registry, to my knowledge.  So it would be a simple matter to just delete the top dev-cpp folder and also all of the flies that are in the documents and settings section of the c: drive (if that is where it is installed).  So search for "dev*" files from the root of the c: drive (c:\) and delete those files.  There should be 4 files, including a cache file and an ini file, if I remember correctly.  So when you find devcpp.ini (I'm doing this from memory, not from a current installation, BTW, so the name may be off), look in that folder for further files that are related to dev-cpp, and delete those.
   
  With respect to version 4.9.x, it attempts to register itself in the registry, but works fine without that occurring.  In the system configuration I use, the registry is write protected at my privilege level, so I'm not sure what dev-cpp is trying to write in the registry.

Re: [Dev-C++] Long double printf

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

I don't think that you can.

When using Dev-C++, your program will be linked against the M$ C run-time
libraries, and to my knowledge they don't support the long double type.

You have to typecast your variable to double before printing it - giving
up the extra range and precision.

When printing 64-bit integers, you have a similar problem.

Using gcc on a unix machine you can write:
printf("Number = %Lu\n",n);

Using gcc on Windows, you have to emit a 64-bit integer using:
printf("Number = %I64u\n",n);

Can someone tell me how to use printf to display a long double type 
variable. I've tried code along the lines of:

long double ld=1.0L;
printf("%Lg", ld);

but that displays "0" rather than "1". I've tried similar with all other

Re: [Dev-C++] recursion help

[Fernando L. <fer...@gm...>]

I looked it up in Stan Kelly-Bootle's "The Devil's DP Dictionary" and
I found this:

recursion: see recursion

Now serously, in programming recursion means that a function can call
itself. The power example is a good one, another classic one is to say
that

factorial(n) =3D n * factorial (n - 1)

This could go on endlessly if it were not for the fact that 0! =3D 1, so
a recursive factorial function would call itself until its argument
became 0, where it would return 1 and unwind the chain of calls.

A similar reasoning could be applied to analizing sentences, or
traversing the leaves of a binary tree.
