Visual C++ :: Getting Free Disk Space Of Certain Directory?
Nov 23, 2014
Code:
_int64 free_space_64bit;
PULARGE_INTEGER lpFreeBytesAvailable, lpTotalNumberOfBytes,lpTotalNumberOfFreeBytes;
//char currentPath[MAX_PATH];
//GetCurrentDirectoryA(MAX_PATH, currentPath);
GetDiskFreeSpaceExA("H:C", lpFreeBytesAvailable, lpTotalNumberOfBytes,lpTotalNumberOfFreeBytes);
free_space_64bit = lpFreeBytesAvailable->HighPart << 32 | lpFreeBytesAvailable->LowPart;
This directory "H:C" does exist, if I comment out the GetDiskFreeSpaceExA line, the program doesn't crash, but it leads to some peculiar results (some uninitialized and random value, but at least it doesn't crash)

Opening large files in c++. In my application, i am trying to save video as long as users have space in harddisk. What I am trying to do is when user is recording video i am trying to append the video data in to the file. The problem is that every time file size reach over 2GB my software crashes.

I am using Visual C++ to write an app. One problem is that the application will allocate a lot of object instances of a specific class CMyObject, maybe 400, 000. This will cause "Out of memory" error when total allocated CMyObject reaches 400,000.
To solve this problem, I just wonder when a new CMyObject instance is created, is it possible to specify so that the instance will allocate on a disk cache, or file mapping instead of the memory space?

I have been using the code below to extract the current user directory in order to read and write to certain files, presumeably independent of whether or not the user has administrative privileges. This has been necessitated in Win 7 because applications installed in the customary C:/Program Files(x86)/ are not allowed full access to files in the installed app root directory. This was working just fine until just this week when suddenly, for the first time, I found that the user directory retrieved was different when the app was run without administrative privileges in 'Start without debugging' configuration, both in Debug and Release configuration. Note that I have tested the identical app on Win2K and Vista and in neither case is it a problem on those OS machines. More mysterious is the fact that this ONLY happens on Win7 (VS2010 Ultimate) when run in the IDE. Run from the windows explorer double click, the app runs just fine in release and debug mode and monitoring the debug version using DbgView indicates that the expected 'Roaming' User directory is retrieved.
For example:
- without debugging (both Debug and Release configuration) the code below produces:
m_csUserDirectory =: C:UsersMPLIAMAppDataLocalPliaTechUeberKrypt
- with debugging (both Debug and Release configuration) the code below produces:
m_csUserDirectory =: C:UsersMPLIAMAppDataRoamingPliaTechUeberKrypt
Either this has been the situation from the outset and I just never noticed it (hard to imagine as I've been on this project for 6 months with 50+ builds), a recent Windows update has changed things, a bug, or I'm just plain stupid (not hard to imagine at all).
From a practical standpoint, if this is the way things are to be, my installer will need to install necessary files in both user directories and the app will need to access both depending upon user privileges.
Code:
/// This routine retrieves the process's environment block
/// using GetEnvironmentStrings, parses that block pointed to
/// by the generic international text pointer LPTCH, and returns
/// the requested string lpszVarStr as a string.
/// Note that the block lpvEnv environment variable substrings
/// are separated by NULL byte, and the block is terminated by a NULL byte.
/// The header files <windows.h>, <tchar.h>, <stdio.h>, <string>, and
/// <iostream> need to be included.

How to create a directory / folder.( to browse/save my files to a directory.) how to specify the path?
I googled , but i cant able to find appropriate as it is showing all in the C#, C++ , objective C. But not in C.
Here i am writing a sample program to my POS device .problem here is it is not taking mkdir(direct/dir.h header file)function. Any alternative is there to make a directory?

I have a DLL developed using pure VC++ (all unmanaged code that doesn't use .NET framework). This DLL will be deployed in different client PCs within a network and will act like an agent.
Now I have establish a communication between this DLL and a WCF web service, that will be deployed in a server PC. The Service will first get a list of PCs either name or IP Address within a network using LDAP (Active Directory) and once, we get the PCs, I have to establish a communication between the web service and the agents that reside in these client PCs,
How can I accomplish this?

The following code is useful to allow a user to select a particular folder in the disk directory.
Code:
void OpenFolder() {
LPMALLOC pMalloc; //,pMalloc2;
CString strDirectory;
BROWSEINFO bi;
// Gets the Shell's default allocator
wchar_t pszBuffer[MAX_PATH];
[Code] ....
However, if one uses this code over and over, one quickly becomes tired of threading one's way all the way from root directory C:. There is undoubtedly some way to designate a starting directory. The most obvious candidate to set such a target is the:
Code:
bi.pidlRoot = NULL;
But attempting to set bi.pidlRoot to a CString (directory address) errors because 'no suiitable conversion from CString to LPCITEMIDLIST exists'
How can I set the code to open at a designated address in the directory tree?

There was an "impovement" since Windows 7 in algorithm for selecting the initial directory, which is described here OPENFILENAME structure. Briefly:
Windows 7:
If lpstrInitialDir has the same value as was passed the first time the application used an Open or Save As dialog box, the path most recently selected by the user is used as the initial directory. Otherwise, if lpstrFile contains a path, that path is the initial directory.
Otherwise, if lpstrInitialDir is not NULL, it specifies the initial directory. If lpstrInitialDir is NULL and the current directory contains any files of the specified filter types, the initial directory is the current directory. Otherwise, the initial directory is the personal files directory of the current user. Otherwise, the initial directory is the Desktop folder.
The problem that this behavior is not what users of my program expect. Another constraint is that I need to use old CFileDialog dialog, not Common File Dialogs. I've tried to use advises described on StackOverflow and on MSDN. This solution by EllisMiller works perfectly:
Specifying a full path (including filename) in lpstrFile. The filename of course shows up in the filename box which is annoying. I ended up using a filename of "." and adding a bit of code to clear the filename combobox once the dialog is open.
BUT I can't figure how to clear the filename combobox. I've tried to add hook procedure, enumerate windows and clear text, but this didn't work for me. So, my question is: how can I clear text in the filename combobox of CFileDialog?

I'm trying to write a program that writes data to a disk in C++ without caring about it's file system. Here is what I can do so far:
#include <iostream>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
using namespace std;
char buffer[] = "Wow! I'm writing this data to a disk without puttting it into a file!";
int main(){
int Disk=open("/dev/sdb",O_RDWR);
write(Disk,buffer,sizeof(buffer));
close(Disk);
return 0;}
But this program can only write ASCII characters to the disk. But what if I want to mainipulate bits on the disk, how would I do that?

When we are using RAM DISK - the files are stored on the RAM. From what I understand (and saw many examples) in order to read data from file (the file which locate on the RAM) - I need to use the read function.
Is there a chance to get char* (or any pointer) to the content of the file without using the read function ?
If the file locate on the RAM, it seem that it is like I have a buffer on the RAM (like an array which was dynamic allocated) and in the case of a buffer on the ram -> we can use pointers to the data without reading all the data.
example:
class CDATA {
int nValue1;
int nValue2;
double dValue3;
double dValue4;
char achBuf[10];

So this code compiles without any problem but it is not producing the correct output. I know there's a problem in either my getBlock or putBlock functions but I can't see it.
Currently the output is "Should be 32 1s: "
"Should be 32 2s: "
There should be 32 1s and 32 2s and nothing is coming out.
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
using namespace std;
class Sdisk {
public :
Sdisk(string diskname);

Basically, I want to write an image to disk in parallel with an algorithm that is processing that same image. The code is really simple:
Code:
string ProcessImage(System::Drawing::Bitmap ^bmp, System::String^ targetFile) {
bmp->Save(targetFile);
System::Drawing::Bitmap^ bmp8 = BitmapConvertPixelFormat(bmp, 8); //<-- a function I wrote which converts the 32bpp I am passed into an 8bpp one
string results = Analyze(bmp8); //<--- takes a good bit of time
return results;
}
What would be the fastest way to do this? Any libraries with a code sample. I would prefer one that is within .NET or native C++ just to avoid having to link into many different libraries.

Here is a working C++ program and its output that reads the names of a certain number of functions whose names are written in a disk file that provides the control parameters in a near-real time fashion. Based on this information, the program calls those functions whose names were given in this text file as parameters. The method I have used is to build a map of functions that connects the names of the functions to the actual functions. Once this map is created, then it is very easy to iterate in such a way that only those selected functions are called.
So far this is working well, and it makes the logic of the code easier because ultimately there will be a large inventory of functions (probably hundreds of functions), and this way of pre-building a map of functions avoids writing hundreds of if statements in the code. Of course, pre-building this reusable map in the background is still equivalent to writing that many if statements, but at least it makes the code very compact and much more automatic, since it is done only once.
But I now have a related question: In this case (when the selected subset of functions to call is given as incoming data as in this example), does C++ make it possible to avoid using maps of functions, by directly applying the string variable that holds the name of the function in order to call the original function immediately For instance, if a string variable s = "MyFunction", then is there a more direct way of using this string as if it were the actual function whose name is spelled exactly in that way? This would make the code even more compact.
Here is the sample test code for the map of functions, and its output:
First of all here is the text file "FileForNamesOfFunctions.TXT" that contains the part of the "data", which is the set of functions select from from the inventory and only call these:
Code:
function2
function3
function5 And here is the C++ code that uses this "data":
Code:
#include <fstream>
#include <iostream>
#include <sstream>
#include <string>
#include <vector>

Code:
#include<stdio.h>
#include<stdlib.h>
#include<string.h>
#include<math.h>
/* h(a)=abcab,h(b)=acabcb,h(c)=acbcacb */
void h_i(int i, char *w, char *a, char *b, char *c)
[Code] .....
Above program increases string like this example.
Let say h(0)=01 and h(1)=10 and let say our first string is w=0 h(w)=01, h^2(w)=0110 h^3(w)=01101001..etc.
We have used h map, which is given in the program comment statement. Same thing, program is doing for three letters. These three letters we have passed as argument in h_i function. e.g. h_i(2,w,"a","d","g") function will apply the 3 letter map h(definition is given in commented form in program) 2 times on string w.
In program w=a; and three letters are a, d and g. /* h(a)=abcab,h(b)=acabcb,h(c)=acbcacb */ here b=d and c=g.
Above program gives core dump at free(w2) free(w1). if we remove these free statements then it gives correct answer. But, we want to free w1 and w2 in the above code. How can we make free both w1 and w2 strings?

how is the best way to free unsigned pointer array allocated with cmallc?
Code:
uint8_t *buf;
buf = cs_calloc(ca->len + 13);
i do like this , but i know this is not quite right , since i got compile warning passing argument 1 of ‘free’ makes pointer from integer without a cast
Code:
for (i = 0; i < ca->len + 13; i++)
{
free(buf[i]);
buf[i] = NULL;
}
free(buf); do i need to free each element of array like above?

This compiles o.k.:
Code:

char *a;
a = (char*) malloc (100*sizeof(char));
[Code]....
I get an error saying "pointer being freed was not allocated". This happens for free(a), free(*a), free(&a), free(&*a).
So if I no longer need "1234567"... how do I get rid of this memory element?

I'm currently trying to write a program that takes an integer input from the user and displays that number of square-free numbers. I've gotten most of the program to work, but I encounter an error during the noSquare function that causes it to print incorrectly.
A square-free number is a number that is not evenly divisible by the square of any prime number. It's hard to see the bold in the code area, but it begins after the "//I think below is where the problem is"
#include <iostream>
#include <vector>
using namespace std;

I'm currently trying to write a program that takes an integer input from the user and displays that number of square-free numbers. I've gotten most of the program to work, but I encounter an error during the noSquare function that causes it to print incorrectly. I have bolded the area where I believe the problem is what I am doing wrong.
The problem with the program is that it prints ALL numbers from 1 to the input number instead of just the square-free.
A square-free number is a number that is not evenly divisible by the square of any prime number ....
#include <iostream>
#include <vector>
using namespace std;
bool noSquare (int num); //Function to determine if the number is square-free
vector<int> getPrimes(int num); //Function to get a vector of all primes below num
bool isPrime (int number); //Function to determine if individual numbers are prime
int main()
[Code]...
By the way, the in the middle of the code was me trying to bold a section, not an actual part of the code. I can't seem to find where to edit my original post.

I'm struggling with the whole stack/heap thing. I totally see the need to create objects on the free store to outlive functions, however, I don't see the purpose of "new" when working with classes.
Code:
class Person{
public:
Person(std::string strName, int number);
~Person(void);
Resource r;
[Code] .....
Now, what is the difference? Why would I need to create a Resource on the free store? Both variables named r live until the destructor runs, right?
