C++ :: SDL2 Programs Stop Responding
Apr 30, 2014
This is a problem I have been having with every program I write since I started using SDL 2. Whenever I compile my code and run my program, everything works perfectly fine until at some point (usually after 3-8 minutes of running), the program will stop responding completely and I will have to exit out of the console to close it. The code I believe is relevant is:
void MainLoop()
{
InitLoop();
while ( !QuitMain )
[Code].....
If I change SDL_PollEvent(&Event) to SDL_WaitEventTimeout(&Event,100), then the problem goes away (I did that and had the program running for about an hour without it stop responding before I decided that it solved the problem), so I believe that the problem has something to do with event handling. Also, it might be noteworthy to mention that when I use SDL_WaitEventTimeout with the second parameter being a small number (because 100 milliseconds is a long time to wait and makes the program run at like 8 FPS), the problem returns.

I use SDL2. and i was testing some functions i took from some internet and some unwanted results happened.
Code :
Pixel *GetPixel(SDL_Surface *surface, int x, int y) {
Uint8 p8, *buf8;
Uint16 p16, *buf16;
Uint32 p32, *buf32;
switch(surface->format->BitsPerPixel {
[Code] .....
And the output changes time to time.

Im using SDL2 but I'm encountering an unexpected error. I have implemented the same method to move as in my old Projects, but the Player appears to be stuck...
The Player is stuck for maybe half a second, and then everything works as it should, but every time I Change direction or i start moving the Player is stuck for a short Moment.
#ifndef _PLAYER_HPP_
#define _PLAYER_HPP_
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include "SDLGameObject.hpp"
class CPlayer : public CSDLGameObject
[code]....

Well if you don't know, there are multiple renderers in sdl, and on some don't work on certain computers, so people use a fallback ex: "accelerated renderer -> software renderer". Sadly, I haven't came across an example that I could copy and paste.

What I am trying do is this in steps,
1)I took an integer
2)I try to convert it into binary by storing the remainder by dividing it in 2, in an integer array size of 8(array1)
3)But the digits are in the reverse order, so I reverse them(array 2)
4)When the number is less like 40 or 20 there are no 8 digits/bits
5)So further manipulation of bits i need to pad some other value(say its 2)in the beginning of the array where you
will have continuous zero bits.
for(k=0;k<8;k++) {
remZ=devZ%2;
devZ=(devZ-remZ)/2;
z_bit_array[k]=remZ;
[Code] .....
I want to pad another bit apart from 1 and 0 until you find one. for example say the content of array2 will be 00010111 then i need it to be 22210111.But my method is not working and make the program non responsive.

I have a simple dialog based app that performs some time consuming file manipulations. The activating method contains the customary
Code:
CWaitCursor wait;
The hour glass initially appears, than after a few seconds, the dialog title bar indicates 'not responding'.
This is misleading to users as it suggests the application has ceased to function when, in fact, it's working just fine. I would like very much to eliminate this 'not responding' message but havn't a clue how to do it. Have any of you dealt with this problem, if so, how?

The following code results in simple window which stops responding as soon as it is executed.
#include<windows.h>
#include<stdio.h>
#ifndef UNICODE
#define UNICODE

I am trying to load a .bmp file located in the same folder as main.cpp etc. but I'm not sure what to input as the resource path so that it picks it up and, when I distribute it, I want it to be preferably cross platform and run smoothly.
I have tried using:
hello_world.bmp
SDL_Game/hello_world.bmp (SDL_Game is the name of the project)
but it will work if I use the full path. I don't want to do this though, because then it will not work on other computers and platforms.
This is the function I use to load media:
bool loadMedia() {
// Loading success flag
bool success = true;
// Load splash image
gHelloWorld = SDL_LoadBMP("hello_world.bmp");
[Code] ....
I am using XCode 5, SDL2.0.1, OSX 10.9 Mavericks and C++.

I want to know how to respond to a request made by a mobile application (preferably Android) through a desktop software. So for example if there is a button on the mobile app named 'do something and a user clicks it, I want the desktop software to respond to that request and 'do something
So what I was thinking was to upload a file to a server when the button on the app is clicked and add a timer to the desktop software to connect to the server and read the file and respond accordingly.
Is this how it is usually done or am I going about this the wrong way? Im developing the app in C# (Xamarin) and the desktop software in C# as well.

i wrote a little program with fseek. It works good till it reaches the first fseek(). Then it crashes and stops responding.My code:
ifstream inp("myfile.txt");
if(!inp.is_open()) return false;
inp.close();
FILE *f;
fopen("myfile.txt","rb");

I've copied and pasted my code. The main program, the calculateTaxes.cpp function code and my makefile. I am using the makefile to link these two codes together but I get an error when I type 'make' in the command line.
I receive the error code:
assign2c.cpp.text+0x169): undefined reference to 'calculateTaxes(float, float, float*, float*, float*)'
collect: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [main.exe] error 1

I have a mobile application for android coded in javascript and a windows form coded in c#. I want my mobile app to send some data to the c# program. It is fine if the transmission is not secure. I searched the net. I found a site called pastebin.com. Unfortunately it provides api for posting and reading data. However I want something, where I can store,read as well as EDIT the data.

I am trying to experiment with programs and databases. Right now I am trying to set up a database so that my program, which currently just appends its results onto a text file, will instead store each result into a database, because this will make things much easier to access than trying to read specific results from an ever-larger, disorganized text file.

I am just starting out learning C and I am using MinGW, Widnows 7, and cmd.exe.I am starting from scratch and learning very short and simple programs, like 20 lines long.After I use MinGW (gcc) to compile, the programs start up rather slowly, sometimes up to about 3-5 seconds. One with a big nested loop even took about 15 seconds to load. After they run once, the next time they run, it's instant.
Last time I learned from this book, I don't remember them starting so slowly. I use the command "gcc sample.c -o sample".It just concerns me that these tiny little programs are starting up so slowly. I'm scared it's a problem with my computer or MinGW installation. When I start making more advanced programs, I don't want them running slower than they ought to be.

I find type casting to be very hard to grasp, I am not sure why. I understand how it works I suppose, but I find it hard to grasp why it would be needed in programming. So my question is, how often is type casting used in general programs? Is there an easier way I could be trying to teach myself about it? I am just using the tutorials provided by this site.

I have learned the basics you need to know about c++ so I was wondering, how do you make a GUI from scratch without using any programs like qt, daniweb, ect. Is there like a ongui() or something?

When you are creating a project or program, how do you number your versions?
Like when you release it, it becomes v1.0, am i right?
then every release or build after that might become v1.1 or v1.0001 or v1.0.1.2
Is there a certain global system for how you Number your versions or is it just up to the developer?

Is there any way to find the variables declared or defined in a c program and print those variables?? E.g. this is the code
#include<stdio.h>
int main() {
int a, b, c;
printf("Enter two numbers to add");
scanf("%d%d",&a,&B)/>;
c = a + b;
printf("Sum of entered numbers = %d",c);
return 0;
}
I want to print all the variables been used. I used (gdb) info locals but its not giving the proper ouput.

I am using a windows application to start other processes. I am looking for a way to keep the form itself as the topmost program until it is closed, allowing the other programs enough load time.

I'm trying to set up some basic communication between two programs via the registry.
For this I would like to use the functions
Code:
int value=10;
CString strSection="Data";
CWinApp* pApp = AfxGetApp();
pApp->WriteProfileInt(strSection,ValueName,value);
and
Code:
CString strSection="Data";
CWinApp* pApp = AfxGetApp();
int value=pApp->GetProfileInt(strSection,ValueName,0);
which read/write to the application's registry.
Is there some way of making two different programs use the same application registry?

my goal:
have 1 program handle the UI
have that program store variables to a DLL
have the 2nd program grab the stored variables to reform some number crunching, without interfering with the UI program, and once done, have it drop the answers back into that DLL, so that the UI can grab it when it's ready.
I have made the 2 programs, + dll
What I've Achieved:
the first program accesses the dll, and loads up a variable (and stays connected to the dll, so that the Dll instance doesn't reset)
I've gotten the DLL to output the variable to make sure it's received it, and stored it to it's own global variable.
the second program connects to the dll successfully, but when it tries to retrieve the data, it returns 0's (NULL's)
My research:from what I've read, so long the dll is connected to a program, all additional programs will attach to the same instance.
how do I make the global variable in the dll be accessible to both programs? (without resorting to saving it to the HDD Idealy)

I am currently trying to write a test program involving constructors. I know what I am about to ask is pretty basic stuff but Visual Studio is not recognizing when I declare strings for some reason. My code isn't completed yet but as I am typing string in to declare the variable in the class Visual Studio is not recognizing string as a usable value.
Code below:
#include <cassert>
#include <iostream>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
class college {
[Code] .....
Like I said... this is completely unfinished I just need to understand why my strings aren't being recognized.

[Code]....
i saved it with name PIYUSHAN.cpp.after compiling above program, it shows no errors, that means it get compiled successfully. but when I try to run this program it shows Linker error :
Undefined symbol add(int,int) in module PIYUSHAN.CPP
Linker error : Undefined symbol sub(int,int) in module PIYUSHAN.CPP

I'm building a simple little program for minecraft to reduce the repetitiveness, I'm using getpixel, it's slow, but i only need to grab about 6-12 pixels.
but the problem is, I can get the pixel data if I capture from the entire desktop display, but as soon as I tell it to grab from the active window (wich goes MUCH faster) it doesn't return any colour value's.
I'd rather not have to use getDIBits or program in java or anything since I want to keep it fairly kiss, and if it can't be done, then.. ah well, I'll just grab from the entire desktop, speed isn't to much of an issue, but it'll be a pain to keep the window at the same place.
Code:
#include <Windows.h>
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
// vvv Ignore this, it's just used for retrieving the handle of a window without giving the full window name vvvv
struct results {
[Code] ....
