• pfitzsimons How to find the C++ source lines given a crash address?

  In VS2003 you used to be able to find source code lines from a crash address using the MAP file generated with /MAPINFO:LINES. In VS2005 this doesn't seem to be possible. I have found a handfull of references on the web that say that the source line can be found from the crash address using the exe and the pdb file, but I can't figure out how to do this in VS 2005. The code I'm wanting to debug is a wrapped unmanaged assembl ...Show All

• NewC# VC2005 %50 Slower then VC2003

  I just migrated a graphics application from VC2003 to VC2005.  After building it, I ran a small benchmark & found that VC2005 code was about %50 slower. The Application does a great deal of floating point and integer calculations.  It also converts doubles to int quite a bit (the VC2003 version used SSE to handle this). The VC2003 version used /G7 and /Ow (which are not available in VC2005) Compiler Switches Used: (vc2003)/arch ...Show All

• Gordon Glasgow How to get the size of a double char pointer?

  Basically, I want to get the size of a double char pointer, EG char **x; Not the elements of the individual arrays, but the actual number of elements inside the pointer. I don't want to use vectors or Strings either, I know how to do it that way, but it looks ugly. So if I could get some feedback on this, it would be appreciated. :-) If you’re allocating on the heap then _msize() might be quite useful for g ...Show All
