[Quickfix-developers] SocketInitiator Windows C++ bottleneck

[George D. <mic...@co...>]

I can=92t get past the very first socket initiator failure. I=92m
programming with Microsoft Studio=92s Visual C++ in the Windows
environment to produce a Windows program that is equivalent to the
example program supplied by quickfixengine=92s tradeclient program for
initiating a buy side session. I tried the example versions of
tradeclient and executor in two MS Windows command windows and saw that
they communicated properly with heartbeat transmissions and responses to
the tradeclient order selections on my local computer. I=92m trying to =
do
the same with my Windows client program, but I can=92t get past the
FIX::SocketInitiator initiator( theApp, storeFactory, settings );
command that is followed by the initiator.start(); command. In debug
mode, after one single step past the SocketInitiator command I get the
following four exception messages in my Visual C++ compiler=92s output
window:
First-chance exception in FixBuy.exe (KERNEL32.DLL): 0xE06D7363:
Microsoft C++ Exception.
First-chance exception in FixBuy.exe (KERNEL32.DLL): 0xE06D7363:
Microsoft C++ Exception.
First-chance exception in FixBuy.exe (KERNEL32.DLL): 0xE06D7363:
Microsoft C++ Exception.
First-chance exception in FixBuy.exe (KERNEL32.DLL): 0xE06D7363:
Microsoft C++ Exception.

Upon return from this routine I get the message:
First-chance exception in FixBuy.exe: 0xC0000005: Access Violation.

I single stepped into the FIX::SocketIiniator () function only to end up
in an assembly code section deep within the bowels of the Microsoft
and/or QuickFix library code. Any time one gets in that deep looking for
an obscure exception, the problem is probably one that can be solved
right away only by an expert quickfix developer who knows from personal
experience that the cause is a certain library file or external
dependency that is missing. If any one of you out there has a clue
please let me know. Thank you=85    =20
