Have a nice day.

Using 4.9.9.2 on several computers, I discovered accidentaly a shortcut 
(french azerty keyboards):
<Ctrl><Window><;>
Ctrl can be left or right or both
Window (the key with a desintegrating Window) can be left, right or both

When you press these keys at the same time, the current line is 
commented: two shashes added at the beginning of the current line, 
without moving the caret.
I did not find that shortcut in the help menu of the editor.

This shortcut is not really usefull (maybe a bug), but is there any 
other undocumented shortcuts?

I am trying to compile wxWidgets with VC++SP6
It asks me for a path for the executable
Any ideas what should I do?

thanx

PS:Don't shoot, I am innnocent

Easiest is to get the source of the libraries, and built yourself. Then
you can use whatever compiler you like.

For example, I always build my own wxWidgets libraries complete with tiff,
jpeg, ... support.

I'm working on a project of a slide show viewer system. It consists on two 
applications, the slide show viewer, and the slide show organizer.

The first one is based on SDL 1.2.6 and SGE 030809 libraries found on 
devpaks.org. I had to choose this version of libraries because the available 
SDL_image and SDL_mixer needs this version of SDL. To be able to compile 
against these libraries I needed to downgrade the GCC compiler from 3.4.2 to 
3.3.1 (don't ask me why, but SDL seems to be compatible only with 3.3.1).

The second one is based on wxWidgets. I tried several versions of them, the 
only one that seems to be consistent with GCC 3.3.1 is the 2.4.2, but they 
apparently seems to depend on an older jpeg library that the one needed by 
the SDL (6.3-b). The result is that if I set up the correct devpacks set for 
SDL compiling, it's not good for compiling wxWindows and vice-versa.

The question is: is there a way to let different versions of the same library 
to live in the same compiling environment? Or is there a way to let several 
separate compiling environments live on the same Dev-Cpp installation?

(btw I tried to install libjpeg 6.3-b and rename lib/libjpeg.a to 
lib/libjpeg63-b.a before installing Imagelib needed by wxWindows, but 
following this line I should rename also the conflicting headers, loosing 
portability).

A great thank to devpackers for their great work, just a pray: could you write 
in the package notes the exact version of the stuff (libraries, compiler 
ecc.) needed for your package?

Thanks.

Yes,but for windows Devcpp,what can i do for learning Glut?
Devcpp is a IDE "integrated developpement environnement",and i will devel=
op.
Why devcpp are totaly incomplete?
I can't use correctly your IDE.

Often you can look up information about such packages from the Debian Linux
package database at http://packages.debian.org/. Even though it's for a
specific Linux distribution, you can usually search to find information
about the package.

Also, you could google "libgl libglut" or other such strings...

What is the correct package for working with GLUT and MUI and ALL the 
derived Opengl Lib?

Hello,

Why when i would compile a C program,the header are compiled in C++ in 
Project/Files ?
I can't compile C,i have ther error:
sourcedir/C   stddef.h:No such file or directory.
sourcedir/Makefile.win   [Build Error] [src/
i have for include :   devcpp/include
   and for lib:            devcpp/lib

A #define that the resource compiler defines when compiling *.rc -> *.res.
It allows conditional compilation of the resource file, i.e. a header file
may emit some symbols when included by the C/C++ compiler and other
symbols when included by the resource compiler.

Hi Verne,
 
The GCC Manual is actually an on-line page.  It's available at http://www.gnu.org/software/gcc/onlinedocs/
 
Well worth reading, as there's lots of switches that Dev-Cpp doesn't use by default.

Hi Rohit,
 
I'd like a link to that manual!  I've got a 10-23-2004 download of the GCC manual in HTML format and it doesn't address complex data structures at all.
 
My solution has always been to use a structure, however grepping into the Dev-Cpp includes for complex returns <complex> as the header file.  It appears to contain all of the functions such as pow, tanh, etc.  It's in the sub-folder include/c++/3.3.1 (BTW: I really hate IE's propensity to interpret \ as an escape character start in my e-mails!)
 
If you still want to code your own complex routines, see http://mathworld.wolfram.com/ComplexNumber.html formulas 12 through 14.  Then follow the links at the bottom of that page to other subjects related to complex computations.  Another important resource is Chemical Research Corporation's Standard Mathematical Tables and Formulae ($24.03 at Amazon, used, which is a hell of a buy!)

Nope, Alfred, it doesn't do the job as about all I get out of same is =

  There's different methods.  If you're using cout then that implies =
C++.  Use the string class instead of the char keyword.  The string =
class with cin would already separate the input at the newline =
character.

  Then it would be (provided sentences where input with the Enter key):
  string line;
  cin >> line;
  cout << line;

  For char's it's a little harder as you have to capture the tokens.  =
Look up String Manipulation on the Microsoft Run-Time Library Reference =
Site. strtok is an example.  It also depends on whether you are =
terminating sentences on newlines, ". ", or whatever your token is.  As =
an example, "This is a test. This is another." would have a token ". " =
for the first sentence, and a terminating token of ".\n"  You'd have to =
separate the two, and would have to handle the time when the user =
forgets the period!

  There's also formatted input, which I haven't used in so long that =
I've forgotten how to use it!  See Standard C I/O, and C++ I/O from the =
C/C++ Reference site.  Check out my links page section on Programming at =

Actually, I might have a link for you on this subject. I just got into GDB
the other day to debug some pointer code that went something like this:

void allocateTable(std::string* table)
{
   table = new string[50];
   // Do Stuff...
   return;
}

But then later in the code, when I used this stuff, it crashed if I
referenced the array. Long story short, it should have been coded this way:

void allocateTable(std::string*& table)
{
   table = new string[50];
   // Do Stuff...
   return;
}

I forgot to pass the pointer by reference so the change never went back into
the calling function's pointer! Anyhow, when I had to figure this out with
GDB, I found some docs that also covered the issue of working with threads.
I sorted them in relevance order.

Exactly what difference is there between struct and class except for their
initial difference in protection?

A struct supports constructors, multiple inherritance, virtual methods,
operator overloading, ...  etc just as a class. If you have found a
difference somewhere, please point me at that difference
(compiler and/or standard paragraph).

You can take any C++ application and replace
class xx : yy {
  ...
};

with:
struct xx : yy {
private:
  ...
};

directly, for identical functionality.

The only difference/limitation I can think about right now is that
template declarations only accept the "class" or "typename" keyword.

Whoops, sent my reply to Matthew only.  My mistake.

The semi-colon is there because you're able to create instances of
classes right after declaring them, and before the semi-colon.  That
sounds pretty logical to me.

Nice Alfred, mine lived well into his 95th year but the last few he was =
dozy.  I don't want that and just too much to learn.  Something I'm =
stuck on right now is if I ask someone a question and want to be able to =
cout the entire line, just how do I use char for that. =20

I know that char name [85];  lets one enter a good long name but I want =
a means of picking up a sentence.  I'm sure it's in the book some place =
but not entirely sure where to look or what to look for.  Any help on =
this simple thing.

  I'm impressed Verne!  I'm 46, BTW, so I'm not that young!  I've read =
that an active mind keeps you from aging.  So keep working with it!  My =
dad lived to be 90 years old, and stayed very mentally active until the =
end.

  Linux is kind of inscrutable, but excellent if you want full control =
of your machine and are a power user.  Windows XP is very user friendly, =
however you pay for that with loss of control.  It's also my opinion =
that XP 'borrowed' features from Linux, as XP has features that none of =
the previous Windows OS's had.

  Helping is my way of paying back for any and all past help.  It =
balances the scales of karma, so to speak.

  Sincerely,

I haven't tried it yet with Insight.  I did do an application back about a year ago that was a plug-in for GIMP (GIMP and plug-in where seperate threads).  It required a do-nothing loop with a variable that you could clear to exit the loop with once you attached it to GDB.  It was actually a pain in the butt, but GDB worked well once I figured out how to use it correctly.  This was the command line version of GDB instead of Insight, and was Dev-C++ 4.9.9.0 if I recall correctly.
 
The GDB entry is as follows:
 
#ifdef DEBUG
    do {
        shapefs.d_c();
    } while (d_l == TRUE); // Make this variable FALSE to continue with program flow.
#endif

void GIMP_SFS::d_c (void)
{ /* If DEBUG is defined, will loop in this function forever until attached by
    the debugger and the value d_l set to FALSE.
 */
    d_v = ~d_v; // Just something to do.
}

  Hello,

  I had completely overlooked the Check for Update/Packages feature.It =
works fine for me now.By the way I am using Windows.
  I am new to C++(and to Dev-C++) and I appreciate your help very =
much.Thank You.

    Hi again,

    Are you on a Windows or Linux platform?  I believe that the the =
*.tar.bz2 is for Linux and most probably will not work on Windows =
platforms.  Anybody out there that knows different, please correct me.  =
Looking at the tarball from ftp://sources.redhat.com/pub/gdb/releases/ =
shows that it doesn't contain the executable and must therefore be =
built!  Can't help there, as I have only used the =
Insight_Binary.DevPack.

    Here's my recommendation.  Start Dev-Cpp, and proceed to Tools --> =
Check for Updates/Packages...

    On the WebUpdate window that pops up depress the Check for Updates =
button.  You may be asked to download the mirrors list.  Do so and =
re-start the WebUpdate window.  If that happens, again press the Check =
for Updates button.  Scrolling about 1/3 of the way down, find =
Insight_Binary and check that package. Depress Download Selected, and =
follow the prompts.  This is the method that works for the Windows =
platform.

    I can't report on it's Linux compatibility, as I don't have access =
to a Linux platform.

    Hope this helps!

    Sincerely,

    Al

        Hi,

        I assume that by 'downloaded' you mean the package, =
Insight_Binary.DevPak.  If you did that, then you must install it via =
the package manager, Packman.exe.  Other than that, all that would cause =
a can't find *.exe is a path problem. Also look in the package manager =
to insure that GDB is an installed package. =20

        Packages installed via the package manager should install and =
work correctly, as opposed to compiling your own package from the =
sources.  If you compiled Insight from the sources, then you may have to =
manually move things around to get them into the proper folders.
