"The book" and "p. 120". It sounds like you are talking about a specific
book, but you are not mentioning which. Now, that makes _me_ a bit
confused :)

No, the private members may not be accessed by any code lines outside of
the class. So, if you rename them, or change the data structures for
storing that data, then you know that no code outside of the class will
fail or need to be modified.

If you make changes to public members, then there may be users that
expects the original names/behaviour of these members.

Which book do you mean?
The interface of a class to the clients is defined by the declaration of the 
public members, and what the public members are supposed to do.
You can change the implementation of the public members without changing the 
interface to the clients, but not their  declaration. If you make functions 
and data members private you can change their declaration without changing 
the interface.

I'm a bit confused on the private vs public aspects of member data. The book 
states that by making it private clients won't need to worry about how it's 
stored or computed (p. 120). However doesn't that same premise hold true for 
the public members as well?
 What are the advantages of private member data?

Not a big problem, do these:
(1) in the top of ur code, add "#define _WIN32_IE 0x0600"
(2) in porject->porject options->parameters->linker, add
c:\dev-cpp\lib\libcomctl32.a
Then it should work fine.

As far as I remember, you have to define internetexplorer version by
defining the _WIN32_IE  flag before including commctrl.h:

#ifdef __GNUC__

#define _WIN32_IE  0x0500

#endif

#include <commctrl.h>

Your program should only call srand() once! If you call it before every
all to rand(), then very bad things will happen. time() has a return
resolution of 1 second, so you may then only produce one random number /
second.

Byt, you don't et any true random numbers from srand() + rand(). The
sequence of calls from rand() is pseudo-random. Many calls to srand() may
not be used, since the rand() function isn't guaranteed to produce a
reasonable number distribution from multiple seeds.

Why do you need "pure random" numbers? I hope this hasn't anything to do
with cryptography. If it does, then you better stop now since cryptography
requires cryptographically strong random numbers - and if you know what
they are, you would not play along with srand() + rand :)

Dear Users,

   I´m working with srand/rand functions
to generate random values.

   I have three functions that call rand()
and these functions are defined inside a
.cpp file that belongs to a project.

   The file with main(), that calls these
three functions, is another file that also
belongs to this project. The calls are made
inside a fast loop.

   The first attempt to generate pure random
numbers was using srand((unsigned) time(&t))
at in the file with main(). t is a variable
of type time_t. I got the same sequence of
results, that is, rand() did behave as no
previous srand() was called.


   The second attempt to generate pure random
numbers was using srand((unsigned) time(&t))
inside the three functions at the first time
the functions were called. The results obtained
presented the following behaviour:
   a) running directly: the same results;
   b) debuging step-by-step (with time intervals
      greater than 1 second): I got the expected
      results. I credit this to variable t, which
      could get different arguments.

   My question is:
   If my attempts were correct, in the point of view
   of achieve my goal, does anybody know how can I
   solve this? :-)))

Regards
Andre

Hallo

I am a new user of dev-c++ with a specific need.
I have some old code written in a mix of c and fortran 77 (using native =
windows compilers).
I know that mingw does support g77, and I would like to know whether =
this mix=20
can be compiled through dev-c++.

Thanks

Michael

And why should it be?

Are you sure that you don't mean SEEK_SET or SEEK_END?

By the way: Don't talk about Dev-C++ when you mean the compiler. I assume
that you mean the MinGW compiler, but people have been using Dev-C++
with Cygwin, Borland or other compilers too...

Don't know why it is missing. Maybe too new in relation to the creation of

Hi List

Sorry if this become a double post, but Im not sure if the first one
land correctly.

Well...
I have a client udp socket connection and wish to retrieve the client ip
address. I will print now the code structure and further information's will
come below.


SOCKET sock;

SOCKADDR_IN sins;

int
sinsize=sizeof(sins);

WSADATA wsa;

WSAStartup(MAKEWORD(2,0),&wsa);

sins.sin_family=AF_INET;

sins.sin_addr.s_addr=inet_addr(ip);

sins.sin_port=htons(port);

sock=socket(AF_INET,SOCK_DGRAM,0);


struct sockaddr_in stLclAddr;

int
addrLen = sizeof(struct sockaddr_in);

int
rVal = getsockname(sock,(struct sockaddr FAR *)&stLclAddr,&addrLen);

//int rVal = getsockname(sock,(sockaddr *)&stLclAddr,&addrLen);

char
szIP[MAX_PATH] = "\0";

sprintf(szIP,
"%s",inet_ntoa(stLclAddr.sin_addr));

WriteLog(_T(szIP));//writelog just dump the value to a file or somewhere
else

rVal = getpeername(sock,(
struct sockaddr FAR *)&stLclAddr,&addrLen);

//rVal = getpeername(sock,(sockaddr *)&stLclAddr,&addrLen);

sprintf(szIP,
"%s",inet_ntoa(stLclAddr.sin_addr));

WriteLog(_T(szIP));

When i run the follow code, the output sin_addr is always 204.204.204.204, I
don't know why. I cant bind the socket because i like the sysop api give-me
the in port (to recvfrom), and i just don't know witch interface on the
client machine have Internet connection (and don't like to search. let the
sysop do their jobs alone). After know that ip and port, i need to sniff
this interface(that job is already done, and need the ip input information
to watch the inbound packets and pick, from the packet header, my outside
ip:port. with that, I can have a listener on the client and set up ip and
port in the server sending a command by UPD).


Thanks in advance.

I'm currently looking for a somewhat more flexible associative container 
than std::map that can do the following:

std::map< keyT, valT, lessOp > m;

keyT K;
otherT O; // lessOp and operator== were defined to work "between" keyT 
_and_ otherT, see below
... fill the map ...
m[K] = valT("blubb");
assert( K == T ); // lets say K and T were build the way this assertion 
always holds
it = m.find[O]; // bang

std::map can't do that, just because find( const keyT& ) is definde only 
for keyT
->compiler error
but, as for the concept of an associative container it should be enough 
that a otherT can be comparet to the maps keyT,
or will this lead to further problems?
some template members like

template< typname otherT >
...iterator... find( const otherT& ) { ... }

in the map template definition should do? probably not all of the map 
implemention must be rewritten.
but if it works, someone must have done it before, and I don't want to 
invent the map again :)

thanks for your ideas ...

####################################
// defined before code above:
// comparing struct:
struct lessOp {

Be careful with programming small processors like the PIC, they do not have
enough stack depth to support deeply nested calls or large argument lists. =
I
wouldn't recommend using C++, stick to C.

And generally, there is no "operating system".

Local variables are generally allocated on the functions stack
frame.  Once you return from a function the local variables are no
longer valid.  A pointer to a local variable is no longer valid
once you've returned from the function.  Thus you need to take a
lot of care when referencing local variables via pointers.

With Winders, probably.  Other OS's probably not.  The real issue is
that not keeping track of memory that has been allocated via malloc
is bad programming practice as it leads directly to memory leaks.

Mr Foo

I don´t know the size of your "heap-patience", people :-))

But...
   -When I do a malloc for a simple vector, can´t I
discover if its memory is shared with other lockable
stuff?
   -Does the Operating System decide by itself to do
this kind of sharing mode, or do I need to do it through
my program?

Thinking in another way...
   -This "driver or similar" belongs to my application,
doesn´t it? If it´s true, I know if my program is using
this kind of lockable memory, don´t I?

(I think it´s the last)
Thank you!!!
Andre

  Hi André

  Yes and No. That depends of how you have allocated that memory. Some
functions can alloc shared memory (Yes Per, that is exactly  (RAM disk) what
am I doing in that app). This ones you must free by hand or they will keep
in there until a system restart or something like (Memory clean tools... i
don't know. Maybe some vb script with a mychar(999999) inside ;).

  I think Per have just released a better text in that subject. Here comes:

  "When you run an application under Win32, the C or C++ library contains
the
  heap implementation (malloc(), calloc(), new, ...) and requests memory
  from the OS. The OS keeps track of all memory pages it gives to the
  application. It has to, since the processor is running in protected mode
  with a Memory Management Unit (MMU) to map between logical and physical
  memory addresses. Whenever the application ends, the OS can release all
  memory pages that was mapped to the application. Only if the memory page
  is shared with a driver or similar, and the driver has the page locked,
  will the OS have to keep the memory page until the lock is released."

  That answer your question (with a big YES if the next sentence doesn't fit
to your application.), and explain my app behavior.

  Regards
  Rafael

Sorry, but I didn´t understand the stack realease sfuff...

-->Suppose I make a lot of malloc´s during the execution of

memory).

  Hi André.

  I'm not asking about some particular language skill's, and if you are
using ANSI C, that is great. Not much people see that ANSI C is faster than
anything else (with one exception to assembly, but assembly... oh joy...),
and can be used in many places of the code in order to increase speed and
memory usage. Keep using that everywhere it fits. About that automatic
memory release, well... the memory will be cleaned up in most cases, but you
cant count on that. Sometimes (each time you ask for a new memory space that
is bigger than the actual remaining stack on the SO, reserved to your
application), you can just see your memory leaking and don't have a thread
to kill and stop this beast. The normal memory management functions supplied
with C compilers do not provide garbage collection. free and calloc still
can be useful in your code.

  Regards
  Rafael
