I will programming task utilities.

Thanks.

Yes, there is. Both on the website, and one with the Dev-Cpp's help file.

That's exactly why people always come here and ask this same question.

Now a hint for the Dev-C++ developers: hide the mailing list address 
from the webpage, and put it inside the FAQ. So people won't be able to 
ask anything here before reading the FAQ.

is there a FAQ? should there be?

I couldn't see one off the web page.

More information is needed. Can you post the compiler log?

WXWIN is an environment variable. You may set an environment variable 
like this:
1. Go to the Control Panel
2. Open the system icon.
3. Click the advanced tab.
4. Click "Environment vairables."
5. It should say "User variables for (USER)" and "System variables". 
Click the new button under user variables.
6. Enter WXWIN for the variable name.
7. For the value, enter the path to the directory where WxWinodws is. 
For example, if you installed WxWindows is C:\WX, enter C:/WX.

Why / instead of \? Although Windows uses \ for file paths, the MinGW 
uses /, just like UNIX and Linux.

Another function to implement it is:

Thanks! I found the mirror.cfg under C:\Documents and
Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Application Data
and added the line "devpaks.org=http://devpaks.org"
Now devpaks.org appear in my mirror list.

Thanks again :)

The best thing with google is that if you misspell a word, you are likely
to find a lot of hits anyway because of the huge number of indexed pages.

Just the same with example source code.

Yes. The docs say different things, that's why I asked in the other 
e-mail for the standard...

My offline Winsock 1 reference ("winsock.hlp") says:

---
SOCKET PASCAL FAR socket ( int af, int type, int protocol );

af    An address format specification.  The only format currently 
supported is PF_INET, which is the ARPA Internet address format.
---

The MSDN's Winsock 2 reference for socket() doesn't say a word about the 
constant that should be used.
Some articles there use AF_INET, but reference implementations mostly 
use PF_INET (e.g.: 
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/winsock/winsock/ipv6_enabled_server_code_2.asp 
).

Then you could also assume that PF_INET == AF_INET == 2, and this can be 
considered right too:

socket(2, 1, 6);   /* "everybody" uses the same values anyways, so this 
is "safe" */


I even found on a Google search people writing references saying that 
the correct way is to use:

socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, PF_INET);

Now *this one* I know for sure it's wrong, but if you type exactly this 
on a Google search, you'll get some hits of people actually using this.

Yeah, probably.
But anyways, I prefer using PF_INET for a socket() call, so I'll be sure 
that if I need to use the code on a "bizarre" (but working) sockets 
implementation, this can't cause any problem.

Trivial exercise. You have a static buffer large enough never to overflow
for the numeric range you receive as input.

You fill in the buffer from the end by taking your number modulo 10 to
find one digit. Then number divided by time to shrink the number.

Continue until number is zero.

Observe to take special care if number was zero from the beginning.

Also take care about negative numbers. Easiest is to set a flag that is
was negative and then negate it and perform above algorithm. In end, check
flag and if needed add a '-' to the buffer.

Return the pointer to the first used character in the buffer.

You could be right. I don't have the standard so I cannot be sure - if I 
am wrong and anyone have more accurate information - please reply.

In Linux socket.h header file you can find:
#define PF_INET		x
#define ...
/* Address families AF_ - same as PF_ */ <== note this

I think we could assume that the values will be always equal. Why? Just 
because there are so many sources using AF_INET (as I found in google 
the PF_INET was added later, so AF_INET was used before) - any change in 
standard will make them not runnable. The only addition will probably be 
adding some other AF_ to one PF_ (many address families for one protocol 
family) but probably it will be done this way:
#define AF_INET		PF_INET
#define AF_SUPERINET	(PF_INET + 1)
#define AF_UNIT		PF_UNIX
to provide compability (this could be not true, it's just my imagination).
The third thing is that socket() (as I found in google) checks for both
AF_INET and PF_INET in function call and for sockaddr address family 
definition too - so probably it the contants change (AF_ not equal PF_) 
the socket() will work good.

This is getting confusing now, the linux manpage lists the PF_ values, but=
=20
refers to AF_ later on.
The BSD manpage I found uses AF_

http://www.neosoft.com/neosoft/man/socket.2.html
..
int
socket(int domain, int type, int protocol)
..
The domain parameter specifies a communications domain within which=20
communication will take place; this selects the protocol family which=20
should be used. These families are defined in the include file=20
<sys/socket.h>. The currently understood formats are
..
AF_UNIX
         (UNIX internal protocols), AF_INET
(ARPA Internet protocols),

AF_ISO....

Hmmmmm.
Also the Win32 docs call this parameter "address family" rather than=20
"protocol family".I don't have access to BSD or POSIX specs so I don't know=
=20
the official line.
It's a mystery.:-)

Hi Haim,

I am no expert but I found the following in a book i have.
In your main() function insert the following lines:
std::cout << "Press the enter key to exit";
std::cin.ignore(std::cin.rdbuf()->in_avail() + 1);

This just waits for the user to press the enter key.

Not exactly sure what the std::cin.ignore stuff does as I said I copied 
it from a book :)

Peter.

Hm... really? From what I remember, it says they are *generally* the 
same, but I may be wrong.
I'm curious now, does anyone know if it's possible to find on the

You're right, my mistake. AF_ defines are for the sockaddr structures & PF_ 
for the socket call. However most
of the literature uses AF_ for the socket call too. ( Some docs I have 
specifically say to use AF_ defines ).

FYI the above formcompiled and ran fine on Win32, Solaris & Linux.
