C++ :: Windows Path - Folder Of Execution

Jan 17, 2014

This question is currently only for windows; but I would like to know about a cross-platform way to perform what I want to do (explained below) -

I have created a little program:

#include <iostream>
int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
for (int i = 0; i < argc; ++i) {
std::cout << argv[i] << '
';
} }

I have added this program to the windows PATH. I put this program in C:Program FilesProgram

I now navigate to C:DataVariousTexts using CMD.

Then I type in: "program x"

The program will print out "program x" as by default. What I would like to get hold of is the folder in which the program is actually being called. ( I want to somehow get "C:DataVariousTexts" to be read into my program ).

How do I perform such an operation?

C++ ::  Default Document Folder Path

Mar 12, 2013

im trying to write a file to a default document folder..something like...

FILE* file;
file = fopen("%docdir% est.txt", "w");
fputs("Hello", file);
fclose(file);
"%docdir% est.txt" this isnt working for me, i have to write it as
"C:userspublicdocument est.txt"

any method to write directly to default document folder so it will work in most Windows ? for example in windows 7 this is the default folder "C:users publicdocument est.txt" in windows XP its different

i have to detect the windows version first, to write the correct path

C :: Function That Gets As Parameter File And Folder Path

Oct 18, 2014

I'm writing a small function that gets as parameter a file's path and a folder's path, and copies the given file to that folder.

Code:
int copy_file(const char* source, const char* folder) {
char copy[PATH_MAX];
strcpy(copy, folder);
strcat(copy, "/");
strcat(copy, source);

[Code] ....

Basically, this function purpose is to make a backup of source in folder every X minutes (depending on user's input).

The problem is the second call to open():

This call attempts to open the file for writing, and creates it if it is not already exist.

It also truncates it before writing to it - and that's my concern:

Let's say this is the second time this function runs, so copy is already exist. open() will then truncate it, and then one of the system calls in the while loop fails.

In this situation, I might be left with no backup file.

The problem also arises for when source is a read-only file:

If source is a read-only file, and copy is not already exist (meaning - it's the first backup attempt), then everything's fine, but, if source is a read-only file and copy is already exist, then I have to first remove copy altogather, and make a fresh copy of source.

Making a backup with new name for copy every time copy_file() runs, will solve this problem, and how can this be accomplished?

I should say that I'd really prefer that copy and source will have the same names when copy_file() returns...

C++ :: How To Include Path To A Folder From Current Directory

Jun 8, 2012

I've forgotten how to include a path to a folder from my current directory!

I mean, instead of loading my dice images as "dice6.png", I'm trying to load them from a file, as ".Imagesdice6.png"

Not sure why, but this isn't working. Google searching has got me nowhere.

C++ :: How To Boost Up Execution

Feb 23, 2013

I wrote a program to run long simulations, in one cpu core computation. During the run, I checked the cpu occupation was always around 85%.

Since my simulation took time to run. How can I boost it up to make my cpu run at 100%? Is that because my RAM is not fast enough?

info about my laptop: cpu frequency: up to 3.2 GHz. RAM frequency: 1333 MHz.

C++ :: Preventing Execution Of A Function

Jun 26, 2013

PHP Code:

class MyClass{};namespace BI{    class BusinessInterop {    
public:        static MyClass* func( {
printf("BusinessInterop");return new MyClass();}    

[Code] .....

I would like to know how to prevent the program print out "Business", I'd like it to call the base class's static function. I have tried to changed MyClass* into void* but it still prints Business :grumpy:.

My challenge is to output "BusinessInterop" without any changes made to the polymorphic structure as designed.

C :: No Permanent Storage During Program Execution?

May 22, 2013

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
int sum_array(int * , int );
int main(void)
{
int total = sum_array( (int []) { 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 } , 4 );
}

[code]....

We create an unnamed array "on the fly" that it means array has no permanent storage during the program execution?

C# :: How To Repeat Execution Of Code Using Counter

Oct 22, 2014

I have a method that changes a canvas color after set intervals, e.g. start timer, 5 seconds green, 3 seconds red, then stop. This functionality is provided in the interval method. The problem I'm trying to achieve is getting this sequence to repeat for a set number of iterations.

I tried to solve this by setting up a counter after the timer is stopped but the code keeps repeating indefinitely by starting and stopping over and over instead of the max of 6 iterations I had set. In debugging the problem, I watched the value of 'i' and when the 'if' statement is set to false. The 'if' statement gets set to false after 7 iteration as expected but the start(); keeps getting called.

void myTimer_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e) {
//Assign text box string value to a time span variable.
TimeSpan workTm = TimeSpan.ParseExact(wrkString, @"hh : mm : ss : fff", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);
TimeSpan restTm = TimeSpan.ParseExact(rstString, @"hh : mm : ss : fff", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);

// update the textblock on the display
// with hh, mm, ss, ms
ms = myStopwatch.ElapsedMilliseconds;

[Code] .....

C++ :: Comparing Execution Times Of Summation

Mar 17, 2014

This is the problem:

1+2+3+...+n=(n(n+1))/2

Write a C++ program that compares the execution time of the above summation using two different solutions: one that uses loops, and another that uses the closed form approach. Use large values of n for the comparisons, such as, 10^7, 10^8, 10^9, 10^10, 10^11,10^12, 10^13, and 10^14. Provide a comparison table for the execution time in both solutions.Do not worry about the value of the actual sum. Overflow will occur in the sum value rendering it invalid; however, this is not the primary concern of the program. Execution time is the primary concern.

C :: Anomalous Execution Of For Loop And The Function Call

Aug 18, 2014

I have a for loop, and after this loop, I am calling another function that wakes a thread S, and then thread S carries on its execution.

Code:

for (k = 0; k < num_msg; k++) {
if( (c % Messages[k][2] ) == 0 ) {
printf("
%d, act, %d

[Code]....

I am getting an anomalous output. Before all the iterations of for loop could finish, the program enters into the invoke_thread_S() and I can see the remaining iterations of for loop happening after thread S is finished.

What could be the problem here. Can I put a 'sleep' before I enter into invoke_thread_S() function, I tried it with a very small amount (in nano seconds), but that did not solve the problem.

C++ :: Control Execution Of Code Block By Entry

Apr 25, 2013

I have a program including several code blocks in the following simplified structure:

int main() {
// block A
if(a > 0) {
}

// block B
if(a > 1) {
} }

Block A and B should be executed separately, according to entry from keyboard. For example, if entry "1", block A will be executed and block B will be ignored; if entry "2" the inverse will happen.

I can control the execution of these two blocks through macro but the code will be separated during compilation. But is there a way to control them without using macro?

C Sharp :: Counting Execution Time Of A Task?

Nov 9, 2013

I am checking out this simple piece of code:

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)  {
            Stopwatch sw = Stopwatch.StartNew();  
            Task Task1 = Task.Factory.StartNew(() =>  {
                    Console.WriteLine("Task1 started in : "+ " "+sw.ElapsedMilliseconds);
                    Thread.Sleep(4000);
                    Console.WriteLine("Task1 finished in : " + " " + sw.ElapsedMilliseconds);
                }
                );
        }

and the results are :

Task1 started in : 2 in milliseconds
Task1 finished in : 4015 in milliseconds.

The problem is, that if i count the time with an external device, just like the timer of my watch or my cellphone s,the total time is 4,8 or 4,9 seconds, which i wouldn t expect that to happen.

The first thing i ve thought, is that it takes the ThreadPool about 800msec or 1 sec to create the thread so as to execute this task, but even if it is so, shouldn t the stopwatch count the time precisely?So , why is there a deviation between an external timer and the stopwatch ?

C :: System Call To Pause Execution Of Program For Few Seconds

Feb 2, 2014

I know there has to be a system call to pause (not system("pause") execution of a program for a few seconds. I would like to give the illusion that my program is 'thinking' rather than just spit out the result as soon as the user has hit the enter key.

C :: How To Prevent A User From Closing Output Screen During Execution

Sep 17, 2013

I created a C program that extracts some information from computer and displays it on screen. It is completed today and is going to be applied to startup programs of domain machines. It runs at logon and takes somewhat 5-10 seconds to finish execution. The output is shown on console screen & user can either close the window by clicking on 'x' or pressing 'Ctrl+c' during execution. How do i prevent both of these events?

Basically the most time consuming processes are

Code: popen("systeminfo","r");
popen("wmic qfe get installedon","r");

1st command is getting OS name,version and hotfixes installed.
2nd command gives me the date of updates installed.

I then filter out data & print required information only.

C++ :: Dynamic Function Execution Based On String Input

Jun 27, 2013

I've got some functions and macros that I want to execute based on a string input that matches the function's name. I came across as this being a possible solution that I'd like to pursue IF it is possible to do. To clarify, I want to be able to look at a string and if the string matches the name of a defined function or macro then it will execute. Is there an effective way to do this (or is it even possible)?

It has to be pretty robust and dynamic given the project's purpose. Basically there's an input file that is being parsed and functions should execute if called upon in the file. I can't simply match strings to their corresponding functions in decision statements, as this isn't robust and isn't scalable.

C++ :: Measuring Execution Time Of Static And Dynamic Binding

Jan 11, 2013

consider the code bellow

#include<iostream>
#include<ctime>
#include<boost/progress.hpp>
using namespace std;
class parent {
public:
virtual void dynamic_display(){

[Code] ....

I am getting the following as output

Calculating....Static Function is called1times
The number of processor clicks is0time is0
Calculating....Dynamic function is called1times
The number of processor clicks is0time is0
Static Function is called2times
Dynamic function is called2times
Static Function is called3times
Dynamic function is called3times

I am actually trying to calculate the time to execute a statically binding method and a dynamically binded one.consider only the first four lines in my output. Why am i not getting the actual result.
