On linux, I can compile DLLs (shared objects) as well as executables that use them. I can even access globals and classes that are defined in the EXE from the DLL, and vice versa, simply with the 'export' keyword. flawlessly.
The Problem: But on Windows (using MinGW), no matter what I do, I'm completely unable to access global variables which defined in the EXE, from the DLL. On Linux, this is no sweat, but what's Windows' problem?
I also need to extend classes in the dll with base class method definitions defined in the exe.
Ive heard that on Windows, you need to use declspec(dllimport) and declspec(dllexport). I can compile with CygWin+MinGW/g++4.5.3 as well as "Pure Windows" with MinGW/g++4.7.2 *without* the declspecs. So what's the decljunk for? Is this really just something for MSVC or other compilers?
Here's some Windows code to show what the problem is. The DLL's global variable is accessible to the EXE just fine, but the EXE's global variable is not accessible to the DLL - compilation complains it is an undefined reference.
main.cpp
#include "myLib.h"
#include <stdio.h>
int exe;
[Code].....
edit: I tried using --enable-runtime-pseudo-reloc --allow-shlib-undefined options when compiling the DLL and G++ complains that --allow-shlib-undefined is an unrecognized option.
I have made an application and I have basically solved everything. But the only problem is that I am using global variables because it felt like the smoothest, so my program is built on it.
But now I've read around and I understand that you should not use these(?). Do you think pointers is the best think to use instead?I have previously declared my board array and some variables as global and I want them in alot of functions.I have read and understand the procedure for the use of pointers so I can use my int's in the other functions by doing like this? Code: #include <stdio.h>
int justprint(); int main() { int Row = 2; int Column = 2; int *pRow = &Row; int *pColumn = &Column; [code]...
But how do I do it with an array like this one? If I declare it in the main function, and then want to use it in other functions.Or are there better, easier solutions?
I am using VS2010 to develop an app which includes several windows forms that I am trying to set up global variables for, and I am getting a few errors like:
LNK2005: "wchar_t *dsn"...already defined in ....obj
I have a header file (externals.h) with: #ifndef MY_GLOBALS_H #define MY_GLOBALS_H extern long dbg; extern wchar_t dsn[50]; extern wchar_t u[30]; extern wchar_t p[30]; #endif
and 2 different forms, each with different namespaces, but both including the above header (#include "externals.h").One of the form .h files defines the values for these externally declared variables like this: namespace PWValidationTools{
public ref class ValidationSetupForm : public System::Windows::Forms::Form { }
The other form file only uses these variables, never defines them.I am getting the above LNK2005 error only for the variables declared as wchar_t, not the "long" one. why I'm getting the link errors only for the wchar_t variables.
I am trying to get variables that are global to multiple files. I have mananged to make constant variables that are global but maybe not in the best way. In the header i have the constant variables being defined:
const int variable_Name = 5;
And the cpp file:
#include <iostream> using namespace std; #include "vars.h" int main ( ) { cout << variable_Name<< endl; system ("pause"); return 0; }
Is there a better way to do this and to make the variables able to be changed within the cpp files.
Is it possible to use & change global variables in a Static Library? For example:
I declare a bool test = true; globally.
Then later in an exported function If the user wants, he can set that test to false. So the program later when checks test if it's true, will notice that it's not true, since one of my function changed it.
I realize that implicit int rule was removed in C99 but gcc still takes this approach by default. I wonder why this happens:
bbb = 5; // legal int main(void) { aaa = 10; // illegal auto aaa = 10 // legal
Inside function a specifier is needed. Error message with no specifier used is:
error: ‘aaa’ undeclared (first use in this function)
Is this because of linkage - bbb variable has an external linkage so compiler knows that we are defining a variable here while inside mean() we need to show compiler that aaa is defined right here, it does not come from external functions?
I've simplified things slightly - but the basic point is that both functions are in the same source file and they both have a static std::string called 'x'. Being static, I guess they aren't (strictly) local variables. So how does the compiler know that they're different entities? Does it encode their signatures using the function name or something like that? If I call each function separately I do seem to get the correct string...
I am trying to compile a c program for sudoku. I have declare const instances as global variables, but when i try to compile the code it says that my declarations are not constant, here is some of the code.
#include <stdio.h> #include <assert.h>
const int GRIDSIZE = 3; const int GRID_SQUARED = GRIDSIZE * GRIDSIZE; //this line const int ALL_VALUES = (1<<GRID_SQUARED)-1; //and this give//the error int board [GRID_SQUARED][GRID_SQUARED];
Say I made a vector matrix: vector<vector<int> > matrix;
and the matrix look likes this:
0,0 0,1 0,2 ...
How would I make it get a random piece of this matrix? So for example, how would I get it to access a set of variables like 1,3 like as if it was just an array with stored data in it?
Alright, so I'm making a windows form with a few hundred buttons, and one button will change color based on data the program receives over a socket. This is what I have, and it kind of works, but I don't want to have to make another if statement for all 260 buttons.
void hitmiss(std::string u){ std::string^ ind = reccdata2(); if (u == "button6"){ if (ind == "1"){ this->button6->BackColor = System::Drawing::Color::Red; this->textBox2->Text = L"hit";
[Code] .....
What I want to do is make it more like
void hitmiss(System::String^ u){ std::string^ ind = reccdata2(); if (ind == "1"){ this->u->BackColor = System::Drawing::Color::Red; this->textBox2->Text = L"hit";
[Code] ....
But it returns the error that u is not a part of Form1.
I'm unable to access private variables belonging to the object class Date, which my overloaded >> operator is a friend of. I can't see anything in my code that would be causing this error. The .h file and the definition of the problematic overloaded operator from the implementation file are below:
#ifndef DATE_H #define DATE_H #include <string> using namespace std; class Date { public: // Initializes a date to the default value of January 1, 1970.
[Code] .....
The error message states that the vars (month, day, year) are declared as private in the header file and then a reference is made to the lines where I attempt to access these in the .cpp file and it reads: "in this context".
if we don't provide the acces modifiers for base class and we need to manipulate the private data of base class in derived class. Is there anyway to acces the private data members? Here's a coding example
class A { private : int a; }; class B : public class A { public : void displayA() { cout<<a<<endl; } };
how i can acces the a of base class A in derived class B without acces modifiers.
I created a WinForm app in C# using VS 2013 Express.
I added code to create a Global Hot Key on the main form. This works fine. My hot key is Ctrl-T. I can press the hot key and make the main form show and hide.
Then I created a second form (ChecklistForm) and now I want to press ctrl-T and make that form show and hide. I do not need the main form to do this any more. I just used the main form to test my Global Hot Key code.
So I'm having trouble getting the second form to respond to the hot key. When I put a break on the WndProc(), there is no break.
namespace ChecklistFSX { public partial class MainForm : Form { [DllImport("user32.dll")] public static extern IntPtr FindWindow(String sClassName, String AppName); private IntPtr thisWindow; private GlobalHotKeys hotkey; public MainForm()
function fun recieves the address(which is NULL) and then allocates the memory for the Box; Let's say I cannot return the address of new allocated p and I can't also use that pointer p(from main) without passing it into a function.
Q: How can I make it that I could operate in function "fun" as I operate on orginal pointer p(from main), right now I'm just passing the address to my function but I can't change the 'global' pointer p ;(.
I remember in pascal it's like: "function(var pointer:[pointer to sth])" and all is done.
I am having trouble updating my global pointer in the following code,
Code: #include <iostream> using namespace std;
struct RB{ RB()=default; RB(int clr):color(clr) { } int color;
[Code] ....
The problem is, at line where I compar y==Tnil, It is evaluating to false at the first insert. But It should be true. again, after ending the function, T again becomes equal Tnil, as a result , none of the is being inserted.
Okay so I am programming an 8051 variant to interact with an SD card. In a separate initialization routine in SD_CARD.c I pull out the vital information of the card into global variables. I then call Menu() which is in another source file but includes a header file with all of the variables declared as extern. Now here is the weird, part this is from my Menu.c
Now the output of the first printf is 16384 but the conditional evaluates to false. If I put this code in SD_CARD.c (Where VOLUME_1_SECTOR is defined) the conditional evaluates to true. I am confused why the printf works correctly in Menu.c but not the conditional.
The problem that I want to make an array " vertextDegree [nbColours] " with " nbColours " elements in it ,but the "nbColours" unknown and I have to get it get it from a file .
Code:
int nbEdges,nbVetices, nbColours ; typedef struct st_graphVertex { int index; int colour; int val ; int vertexDegree[nbColours]; // it won't work because nbColours unknown // here and I want get it from file in the main struct st_graphVertex *next; t_edgeList *out; }t_grapheVertex;
I want to make a destructor counter...So it needs to be outside that specific instance of the class. And i want to keep it hidden. I don't want to be able to access it from outside the class...I Don't want main.cpp to have access to this variable
