Isn't gprof - available with gcc - a good alternative?

Hello,

I have an example C++ program that does this. It was written using 
Dev-C++, NoDSNCpp-V1.0.zip: ODBC DSNless connection in C++.

The download URL is:
http://www.yeohhs.com/downloads.htm

You could check the wxWidget lib, it has an ODBC class for accessing
Access and other dbs.

    I used to program in VC6 in past.Now I turn to Dev-cpp,I find it is good to use.Because I was new learner in Dev-cpp,when I want to do Windows program,my problem occur----the resource file is not in graph as in VC6.So is there a tutorial about the resource file program in Dev-cpp?
----Thanks

Sure.

the for loop shouldn't use any star for pointer indirection.

There is. I am going to assume you are using C, not C++, and you are using the console. here it goes. this is probably going to be more complicated and tedious than the \n and \t, but its alot cooler.::

SetConsoleCursorPosition(), from Win32 API.
Look also for the other functions in the same group (like GetStdHandle()).

Thank you Per. I replaced the "pkg-config gtk+-2.0 --cflags" in the compile
options with your suggested -mms-bitfields leaving "pkg-config gtk+-2.0 --clibs"
in the linker and now I have an executable which runs without errors.

I wonder just how much this has to do with rebooting Windows.

BTW pkg-config runs fine in my setup.

Ladies & Gentlemen thank you for your help so far and now for my next trick I
need to make this program call MS SQL and Oracle stored procedurers.

Been there and done that. The current problem is that although I have
successfully worked with Watcom 11c and Visual Studio C++ 6 and VB 6 I wanted
this project produced in an Open Source product and that it should be able to
run on both Linux & Windows.
and Dev-C++ was a new tool and I could not resist.

Thank you all.
I have added `pkg-config gtk+-2.0 --cflags` to compile options and now gcc tells
me "cannot specify -o with -c or -S and multiple compilation" and yes I have 4
different .c source files in my project.
Do I need to put these source files together into one file?

Well, look closely at what command line the IDE actually tries to run
to compile. Is there something weird with it? Is there just one -o
option, immediately followed by an object file name? Somehow the IDE
manages to invoke the compiler with a mixed-up command line.

Why use IDEs if they cause problems like this? Why not start by
learning how to compile and link a hello-world program from the
command line, then continue on to write a Makefile for more complex
programs.

--tml

How about putting -mms-bitfields among the compiler switches and then post
the compiler output. Then maybe we can help with the 'output filename'
problem.

Thank you for all the replies I received it makes me feel good that I am not
necessarily the only one on the bleeding edge of using Open Source on Windows.

While I attempt some of the compiler/linker switches suggested may I put the
following problem forward again.

I am now getting Gtk-ERROR** Incompatible Build when I attempt to

Tor thank you for this suggestion but when I attempt it by adding the
-mms-bitfields to the linker options I still get "Incompatible build!" & when I
add it to the compiler switches I get told by cc1.exe that "output filename
specified twice".

I get the same effect if I use -fnative-struct so now I am really confused.

Of course you get. You are ignoring the first parameter, which specifies
number of parameters. If you don't give the program any arguments,
pszArgs[0] will be the name of your application, and pszArgs[1] will be
NULL. =C1 NULL pointer to strcmp isn't so nice!

By the way. How about cutting down a bit on your source code? I think the
source listing has been in this mailing list enough times now.

Don't declare variables within the switch statement without using braces,
to create a separate namespace for the variable!

switch (n) {
    case 0:
        {
            int local_variable;
            break;
        }
    default:
        // because of braces, the local_variable isn't visible anymore.
}
