Thank you very much!
This looks very interesting, because it seems I might be able to 
create an interface using VC++ following these hints. I hope I will 
find the time to try it, at least.

Wolfgang

Important note: When M$ are involved, there can be no standard but what M$
does for the moment :)

The ABI (Application Binary Interface) is something that must be specified
for each and every target platform (OS and processor architecture)
supported, i.e. it can normally not be the same between different
platforms.

Life is simple when the OS is written in C++ - then the OS manufacturer
have already decided what ABI there should be. The current Windows
releases are written with C interfaces and the future Windows releases
will have .NET interfaces...

This is a nice link to read:

When using C++ libraries, I would recommend you to use the same
compiler that was used when creating the libraries.

For C++, there is no single standard for the memory layout of data
objects, the placement of virtual method tables, the name mangling etc.

Your task is to remove me from your mailing list or at least have one of your genious associates fix the unsubscribe page.

Dear list members,

I am quite new to windows and C++ programming (did quite much C under 
unix up to now).

My task is to write a program using a proprietary C++-API (device 
driver) which I only have in a binary version for VC6 or VS.net. I 
can compile using VC6, but would like to switch to Dev-C++ or plain 
MinGW/gcc. However, when linking against the library, I always get

I tried converting the library using reimp, but apart from that it 
works other than expected (it gives me a bunch of object files that I 
can then again put together to a library using ar) this does not make

My program is at the moment a modified version of "DtRecord" on the 
page "utilities", to get started.

As already said, everything works fine with VC6, but I really would 
like to move to gcc for using GTK+ and other stuff... I am using dev-
C++ 4.9.9.2 in the "full" version (including MinGW).

I am not sure if it is really a "typical" VC++ problem or simply a

There is no single, really perfect and simple solution.

Using active-x controls would allow you to use IE for the HTML processing.

A simplified solution - with a number of limitations - would be to use the
wxHTMLWindow class for processing HTML.

A third alternative is to just use shell commands to have IE, Netscape,
... or whatever start and print the document for you.

Real code for the above suggestions are of course directly available using
google.

Hi, Noorez Kassam,
I would try first "const T&":
 bool basic_bignumber<T, __low_value, __high_value>::operator>( const T& 
test )
(I cannot test it now)
I think there is something wrong with the prototype of the 
compare-operator. The compiler gets
no match in cases of parameter-types-incompatibilities. The "name" of 
the compare method is correct,
that's clear: "operator>".

best regards,
Wolf Peuker

Hi, Klaas Mussche,

you forgot the definition of the static class member it looks like this:

// class definition:
class  A {
    public:
        // declaration of static class member b:
        static int b;
};

// definition of static class member b:
int A::b;
// or alternatively with initial value (best practice):
int A::b=42;

cheers, Wolf
ps: do you come from java?

Hi,

I subscribed to this mailing list last night.

Is this a good place to get some advices about programming with "Bloodshed 
Dev-C++" in conjunction with "TrollTech QT 4.1.0 OpenSource" (running on 
WinXP platform) ?

Dominique

Only for convenience. The debug facility provided by Dev-C++ is worthless to me.
With two clicks of the mouse I can send the code under study over to Insight.  I
also have the astyle beautifier set up as a tool.  Two clicks and at least my
code LOOKS prettier.

If you are referring to the gdb debugger invoked within Dev-C++ by using the F8
key, I agree.

Indeed, it is.

Why invoke Insight inside Dev-C++?  In my experience, all bug issues related to debugging anything except rudimentary programs occurred while debugging from inside Dev-C++.  The current version of Insight is fairly stout, BTW.

To get a useable debugger I invoke Insight as a DEV-C++ tool:

Program: C:\cygwin\bin\insight.exe
Working Directory: C:\cygwin\bin\
Parameters: ""
Note: Enclose the bracketed EXENAME in quotation marks so that program names

I think the Dev-C++ project is dormant although I still use it. Josh mentioned
Code::Blocks which is the heir apparent to Dev-C++. Check this list's archive

It looks like most of your complaints are solved by the IDE Code::Blocks
(www.codeblocks.org).

Hi there !

I'm using Dev-Cpp (4.9.9.2) for a while now, and I find it good,
though it remains some details that annoy me :

1. Debugger : oh boy, I don't know if it is gdb that's causing so much
trouble, or dev-cpp that causes trouble to gdb, but this feature is
somewhat painful. First of all, sometimes (sorry, I can't be more
precise), when starting debugger dev-cpp process (not gdb.exe, nor the
debugged command) ) eats 100% of a CPU. I try to figure a
deterministic cause, but I'm still searching. Usually having
watchpoint in the Debug tab, or sometimes at the very start, it hangs
like this (dev-cpp is still responding, I think it's one of your
threads that cause this). You have to quit and restart dev-cpp to
retrun to a normal state.

2. The console output of gdb is nearly unusable. That's really
disapointing. Especially you want unusual expressions (like "x/32h
mem" to inspect memory or p command with custom output format). Well,
the problem is that the output is completly trashed among the other
messages. Is it that hard to just log lines received from gdb, from
top to bottom ? If you re using mi interface of gdb, this is just
trivial. If you are redirecting a PTY (not sure Windows can do this
though), okay, this is a little bit harder. BTW, is it normal when
pasting text while focus is on command prompt, text goes to the edit
area instead of that goddam prompt ?

3. Project : okay this is more a feature request, or maybe just a
question. I want to do a simple thing : switch project options
(quickly -- a few keystrokes) from at least two configurations
(usually Debug and Production). For Debug config, I will generate
debug symbols, not strip executable, no gcc optimization, and add a
-DDEBUG when compiling, and so on ... For production, I use "gcc -s
-O2"., etc ... Is there a way to do this without manually and
painfully changing project options ?

4. Code completition : it works almost nice for me. But just a few
minor things that's missing :
- Is there a way to hit a keystroke and list all symbols recognized in
the current file ? This is a feature I loved from another editor : it
applies ctags on the edited buffer, list symbols sorted first by type,
then by symbol name, and you just have to double-click on the symbol,
and it will transport you to its location. Okay, I admit this works
better for C than C++.

- Is there a way, when selecting text and hitting a keystroke, it
searches for its declaration or definition (basically in vim, it can
scan the ctags database and list all symbols that match the selection
: if there is only one, it jumps directly to it (most cases), if there
are several it display a list where you can choose to jump to) ?

Okay, I know, there's already a code browser which updates itself
whenever you open or save a file. But I don't really need a such
h.e.a.v.y. thing.

5. A minor thing : but is it possible to highlight the pattern that's
being searched inside files. I don't know if you are using grep
internally. But GNU grep support the env. var. GREP_COLORS, which will
surround the matched pattern by VT100 codes. When searching among
several hundreed of matches, this helps a bit.

That's all I can remmeber for now. Although I made just criticisms, I
just wanted to say that I like this program, and I hope you're still
on schedule to release the 5.0 version.

If I recall correctly, static class members must be in this form:

class foo
{
  public:
    int staticbar;
};

static int foo::staticbar;

Hey, I am trying to make a class with some static pointers to allegro
bitmaps. But now i cannot access the static data on the normal way. I
declared the data so: static BITMAP* bmp; and tried to access it from other=
,
non-static member functions from the same class by using simply bmp, but
that don't work. Using Classname::bmp also don't work, not in the other
non-static member functions from the same class, and not from other
functions, such as main(). I have included the header file. I always get th=
e
same error's:   [Linker error] undefined reference to `Classname::bmp'  for
every time I tried to access the static date.

I have also tried to make a static int but that also don't work. Could
anyone tell me what i'm doing wrong?

I don't know how you people do it=20
