• Sean Fowler How to detect the dll or exe from the address(memory) of its function?

  Hi, I need to know how i can detect a keylogger. I've found some basic technique in doing the same.

Then you can have that thread use an event or any other syncronisation object to be notified from the other thread. If it needs to kill all outstanding I/O, it can ...Show All

• jrs34 Internal Compiler Errors & Minimal Rebuilds

  Here is a description of a problem I recently had trying to compile a sample program from the Boost library. Here is a suggestion that contained the correct work-around : I believe this is significant for 2 reasons: The compiler should give a decent error message of what it wasn't able to parse, it shouldn't simply say "Internal Compiler Error (x_x)".
