• mfroster LNK2001 _DebugHeapTag_t -- Missing Something...

  Hello, I've read over quite a few other posts and found many that are similar, but none that are identical, and none of their solutions solve my problem. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Here's what I get while linking: buildsummaryform.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "void * __cdecl operator new[](unsigned int,struct std::_DebugHeapTag_t const &,char *,int)" ( _U@YAPAXIABU_DebugHeapTag_t@std@@PADH@Z) buildsummaryform.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "struct std::_DebugHeapTag_t const & __cdecl std::_DebugHeapTag_func(void)" ( _DebugHeapTag_func@std@@YAABU_DebugHeapTag_t@1@XZ) There are two of these errors for every file in my project. I think I'm missing a library, but I don't know which. I ...Show All

• WolvenGarde How do I build binary with debug information?

  How do I build binary with debug information So that I can debug the program using the debugger I am having the same trouble. I started to think it was a limitation of the express edition. I can set breakpoints, but the code does not stop. Even if it did, there's no debug information. Thanks. It works fine for me on C++ VS2005. Linker -> Debugging -> Generate Debug Info / Generate Program Database File) = Yes I already have it on Debug and not on release. But that does not seems to help. Anything else I have to set to build the binary to get debug information Thank you. ...Show All

• tronix ATL syntax errors in VC++ 2005 Professional Ed.?

  Hey guys, I am trying to compile some base code I was given provided which uses the atlimage.h header file. I'm not familiar with using ATL, and I'm definitally not familiar with using ATL in VS 2005, but I have been unable to find any good documentation outlining any settings I might need to change.

• cloud strife Linking an app in debug mode against libraries built with /MD

  Here's the situation:  I have some third party DLLs, built with Visual Studio 2005, and which were compiled with the /MD switch (multithreaded DLL CRT libraries).  I want to build my application in debug mode, using the debug CRT (/MDd switch), linked against the libraries above. In VS 2003 .NET I could get this to work, but not with VS 2005. I continually see the message "MSVCR80.DLL not found" when I try to run the app. The third party DLLs were built using nmake and so have external .manifest files that are in the same directory as the DLLs. The directory containing these DLLs in on the PATH. My app is built using the VS 2005 IDE and so has an embedded manifest. If I use the "depends" tool that comes with ...Show All

• elittle27 Reading from a dynamically updating text file

  I am writing an application in VC++, a part of which requires me to read data from a file and dump it to a text box. Now this file gets updated in real time so I have to read strings as and when they get to the file. How do I wait on the file update Thanks, that helped. I'm able to raise events based on file changes. Quick question - you mentioned dump of text on change, how do I get that done Did you take a look at the FileSystemWatcher You could dump the text on each change. Hmm - I can't think of a specific, but try System::IO. You're bound to find something in there. ...Show All

• vicarious Question on Visual Studio C ++ 6.0

  I was compiling a source code of Visual C++ in Visual Studio 6.0 environment. The code contains German and Italian characters in the comments. When the complier reaches that point it outputs as "fatal error C1071: unexpected end of file found in comment". Since this occurs in many places could you help me how could I resolve the problem I need to leave those comments untouched but on the other hand need to compile the source codes and run the executable. Is there any way exactly how this could be done in Visual Studio C++ 6.0. I am in Canada, using English as my first language.

• danni123 Prevent same string in ofstream

  Hi all. Is there a way to prevent ofstream from writing the same line if it already exisits If so please let me know because i wrote a function that loops the time/date but it keeps on showing the same time/date. Thanx in advance! Before anyone asks.

• Blipwort Marshalling

  I have a native byte* buffer which I'm going to pass to a MarshalByRef object on a remote server (using .Net Remoting). I know that if I implement the MarshalByRef object in a way that it accepts a byte* too, it will complain that I cannot pass pointers to the server (which is absolutely right). So what would be the best replacement I myself used a cli::array<Byte>^ and used Mrshal::Copy() like this: int MyClient::Write(Byte* buffer, int size, unsigned long * writeNo) { array < unsigned char >^ aBuffer = gcnew array < unsigned char >(size); IntPtr^ ptrBuffer = gcnew IntPtr(buffer); Marshal::Copy( static_cast <IntPtr>(ptrBuffer), aBuffer, 0, size); ... m_W ...Show All

• incognito79 VS 2005 Hangs...

  Is anyone else experiencing an issue with USB drives and Visual C++ 2005. We are running VS Studio 2005 in a classroom setting. Students have absolutly no problem using USB storage with VB. However, C++ will not access these drives correctly without hanging or extreme performance degradation. We did not have this problem with VS Studio 2003... Even with the most simple "hello world" app, the system will hang if we create the app on the usb drive. We can create the same app on the desktop without incident. However, as soon as the location to create the app is changed to the USB drive and the compile process is started, the system will hang. Windows XP with VS 2005. This occurs on every machine... ...Show All

• Hiral C++/CLI ICE while passing a member function pointer to template argument

  The original code that caused ICE was different, but I narrowed it down to: #include "stdafx.h" using namespace System; struct Dummy { void bar() {} }; template < void (Dummy::*pmem)()> void foo() { void (Dummy::*memfunc)() = pmem; } int main(array<System::String ^> ^args) { foo<&Dummy::bar>(); return 0 ; } _Winnie C++ Colorizer The ICE occurs at line 14. If I remove line 19, everything's ok. Note, that this code causes no problems in native C++ compiler and is C++ ISO conformant (well, except for System::String^ and array<>^ part ;)) The only thing I can suggest ...Show All

• ron2464 Strange 'new' behavior

  Consider the following code: int** a = (int**)new int[][2]; // compiles ok int** b = (int**)new int[]; // compiles ok int** c = (int**)new int[2][]; // generates C2087 If I'm interpreting CPP2003 correctly, none of these are valid, as the expression inside the []'s is supposed to be a constant integral expression, which I doubt the empty expression is. In any case, why do the first 2 compile but not the 3rd They've marked the bug as "Won't Fix". Ah..., I missed that. Interesting, it looks like a bug indeed. Comeau and GCC both produce errors on all three lines.  I would open a bug report here: http://connect.mic ...Show All
