C :: Best Process For Cross Compiling Application
Oct 26, 2013
I'm creating a small command line game in C. I have never done anything cross platforms, but this is small enough (so far) that it might not be too bad.
When I am done, I'm not sure how it will be distributed: Either I will just send people the C files and say "compile on your system with these options", or I will just have executables for various systems. Probably Windows 7/8, Ubuntu, CentOS, and whatever I can find to test on.
I right now I'm testing/developing on Windows 7 using MinGW. So my questions are: while I'm developing, how should I be compiling/testing it?

I am making an application that processes multiple files (typically > 500) through a command prompt call. The way I start the command prompt app is by looping using a call to CreateProcess for each file that is to be processed. It works fine, except that I somehow loose 'connection' to my app so that
1: Windows says that the app. is 'Not Responding'
2: The Cprogress bar in my app is not updated before all files have been processed, even though there is a CreateProcess call and a Cprogress.StepIt() from the app for each file that needs processing.
I somehow suspect that the CPU gets swamped... I do not want that Windows starts to say that my app is 'not responding' and I want my Cprogress dialog bar to update according to the number of files that are progressed through.
I wonder if multithreading is the OK way to go instead of just kicking of series of CreateProcess calls? Maybe my CreateProcess is not ending correctly? It seems as if my app is 'not regaining control' before very late. The app never crashes though.
My CreateProcess code is listed below, maybe there can be a problem with it, or maybe I should do things in a different way? My app basicaly works as it never crashes, but with above mentioned problems it is NOT a pro solution...
void CMultiFilerDlg::ProcessFile(CString pdfFile) {
int i=0;
DWORD ProcID;
// Open file in text mode:
STARTUPINFO si;
PROCESS_INFORMATION pi;
char cmdArgs[2052];
[Code] .....

I have an application that reads a process and return values from it. The problem it works fine with small processes but i have some processes that are about 1GB or even 2GB and when i try to read such big processes the application crashes. I'm trying to find a way to read the process memory in chunks of maximum 10 MB. The read code looks like:
Code:
HANDLE hProcess = OpenProcess(PROCESS_QUERY_INFORMATION | PROCESS_VM_READ, FALSE, entry.th32ProcessID);
unsigned char *p = NULL;
MEMORY_BASIC_INFORMATION info;
for (p = NULL; VirtualQueryEx(hProcess, p, &info, sizeof(info)) == sizeof(info); p += info.RegionSize)
[Code] ....
This reads the info.regionsize which can be as large as 100 MB. Is there any way to read it in chunks ?

I am trying to compute the cross product of an 1x6 column vector "D" with a 6xN matrix "S".
vector< vector<float> > D(1, vector<float>(6));
vector< vector<float> > S(6, vector<float>(10)); // Example where N = 10
float cProduct = D*S; // ?
The last line fails, so I'm wondering how you would get the cross product?

I discussed a topic about how to write cross-platform file IO code with a member named Disch for about a year ago. Since I am a beginner I am not sure if the "rules" for doing this has changed or not within C++.
He taught me that differenct CPU:s use different endianness when reading and writing to files. However, why can't the C++ standard file IO functions detect what endianness should be used on the current machine that is running the program? Why didn't the developers who created the standard library develop file IO functions that are cross-platform from the beginning? Have the rules changed since last year?
What I learn is that if you need to store data in files that will be read and written to on different machines, you have to define in the program what endianness should be used. For example, if I needed to store 4 bytes, I had to do this manually with my own functions and define in those which endianness is used.

System();is bad, I get that. Is there another way, that works across platforms I can use to execute an external program. If not, is there a windows specific way.

I have cross sections in the form of rectangles in the XY plane formed from two point (top left, bottom right) as well as their Z position. I'd like finding some sort of API that can extrude a basic linear-average-approximated 3D shape (preferably eventually into STL format) from these points. I've tried googling but to no avail. The aim is to build a 3D shape from 2D wireframes.

I am planning to develop a GUI that will run on Windows, Linux, Android & iOS. If am right, VC++ apps don't work on Linux, Android & iOS. Is that correct?
Is there an alternative to that? Which other tool works for GUI development on above mentioned 4 platforms?

Why something doesn't work without setting global variables. I want to know how to deliver values for example my boolean value "ende" (means end) from the function in line 99
Code:
bool pruefeGewinn() or in line 116 Code: bool spielfeldVoll() to the main function for using it there for Code: } while (ende != true); in line 164.
How to return it correctly?
Here is the Code of the game TicTacToe.
Code:
#include <stdio.h> // In- and Output
#include <stdlib.h> // Implementation of many functions
#include <stdbool.h> // Allows in C99 True and False as Boolean
#include <time.h> // Allows using Random by time
/*----------------------- Constants -------------------------*/
#define KANTENLAENGE 3
#define STRING 100

In my game, I want to display dialogues for exceptions, and I don't really want to use something heavy like Qt, but then I also don't want to write and maintain my own platform-specific code to do it. Is there any library that can display simple message dialogues, just a few lines of text and an OK button, without being complete overkill like a full-blown GUI library?

I'm using ubuntu 14.04 and I want to cross compile this simple GTKmm program for Windows:
#include <gtkmm.h>
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
Glib::RefPtr<Gtk::Application> app =
Gtk::Application::create(argc, argv,
"org.gtkmm.examples.base");
Gtk::ApplicationWindow window;
return app->run(window);
}
I don't know how to do this...When I use this command:
x86_64-w64-mingw32-g++ main.cpp -o hello.exe `x86_64-w64-mingw32-pkg-config gtkmm-3.0 --cflags --libs`
I get this error:

I want to create an application that starts an application and passes input to that application. I know how to start a process using the classes in System.Diagnostics, but I don't know how to pass data to the process.
For example, and this is just an example, I would like to be able to automatically start an application that requires a username and password and automatically enter the username and password. Of course, that might open the door to security vulnerabilities, but that's not the point of the exercise.
How to implement the functionality I described? Is there a general way to go about doing this or does it depend entirely on the idiosyncrasies of the application in question?

(C++ question) I need to be able make a compiled code (like a .dll?) which other programmers can use on linux, win,, mac, etc.
The compiled code would simply do calculations and spit out an answer in memory.
I need it to have certain functions that they can easily call and understand (without actually seeing the source).

I am starting a turn based battle (similar to pokemon) app. How could i make this and make it cross platform. Also is it possible to make it access gps and allow other devices with the same app communicate with each other?
I have done things on the command line but i never made anything with images so i dont even know where to start for this app.

I'm working on a project which uses gtk+ and gtkmm. We use them in preference to MFC because the program needs to be cross-platform. For quite a long time, customers on OS-X and Linux have sometimes complained that the program would crash during shutdown but the Windows version (which I work on) never seemed to suffer. However, I'm now transferring my build environment to a new PC and I'm noticing the same shutdown crashes. It's a bit complicated so let me start with a small example:-
Code:
namespace Whatever {
class B {
public:
virtual ~B();
private:
int bb;
[Code] ....
Suppose I run the above program. When it stops at breakpoint #1 I make a note of the value of pA. Eventually the program reaches breakpoints #2 and #3. At each point my this pointer is exactly the same number. If the value of pA was 0x03604fb0, my this pointer is identical at both stages.
Now let's consider the real example:-
Code:
namespace Gtk {
class Widget {
public:
virtual ~Widget() {}
[Code] .....
Suppose I run the real example. At breakpoint #1 the value of pW is 0x03604fb0. But by the time I reach breakpoint #2 my this point is slightly different:- 0x03604fcc. It doesn't seem right to me and I'm wondering if it might be contributing to our shutdown crashes.

I am overriding OnSaveDocument in my MFC document class to strip out the carriage returns when saving my app's document to a UNIX file system but not when the user is saving a file to a Windows file system.
Is there a way to determine if the lpszPathName in OnSaveDocument(LPCTSTR lpszPathName) is a UNIX or Windows file system?
Note, I want to avoid hard coding server names and I want to avoid overriding the FileSave dialog and forcing the user to select Windows or UNIX.

I'm taking an intro to c++ class and during an exercise I ran into multiple errors that are out of my knowledge to fix. The rest of the class is using Visual and that is all the instructor knows so i'm in my own figuring out Xcode. Basically I wrote the same program twice but one has a different struct and I get all sorts of errors with it. understand what the errors are and why they occurred.
The working program is this:
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <iomanip>
#include <cmath>
using namespace std;
struct point {
public:
double x1,y1;
double x2,y2;
[code]....
This program does not compile and I get the following errors:
stl_iterator_base_types.h
1) Symantic Issue
No type named 'value_type' in 'myPoint'
2) Symantic Issue
No type named 'iterator_category in 'myPoint'
3) Symantic Issue
No type named 'difference_type' in 'myPoint'
4) Symantic Issue
No type named 'pointer' in 'myPoint'
5) Symantic Issue
No type named 'reference' in 'myPoint'
Why does one work and the other doesn't!?

I'm compiling some open source code (originally written for Linux / gcc) which uses the following line to determine if a particular section is being compiled for an x86 processor:-
Code:
#if ( defined(__x86_64__) || defined(__i386__) )
neither of those seems to be defined by my ageing compiler (VC++ 8.0). What would be the equivalent for building with VC8 ?
