• Torns c++ compilation strategy

  Well .. this is probably not specific to C++ language. It is a more general question on the requirements of including headers, etc, and so sort of basic, of compilers. I have been looking at translation units and linking, etc. I learnt that there can't be duplicate identifiers in all of the translation units combined. If there are duplicates, it's a linking error. It can be avoided by using extern keyword for all the duplicate declarations of th ...Show All

• Johan Olofsson Using a static library when I only have the .lib and .h files

  It seems that static libraries must always be compiled with the current project and the source code for them must be available. In that case, what's the difference between creating a library and just referencing the project In 2005, I was unable to 'link' (by which I mean refernce) to a static library for which I only had the .lib and .h files. Is there some way to do this btw, the library I wish to use depends on other libraries. ...Show All

• Matt Decaro ATL

  Using Visual Studio .Net 2003. I created a DLL ATL Project using the New Proj. Wizard. Noticed that the generated class is declared and defined solely in the .cpp file, i.e. there is no header. Three questions: 1. From this, I gather that the methods of the class are to be implemented in the class itself I like this because I like defining all class functionality in one file. 2. Also, is no header is needed for ATL COM objects because ...Show All

• Davester How to compile without .net?

  Hi everyone. My problem is that if I write an application, it doesn't run on other computers. I've already read other threads about this problem, and there were solutions too: install redistributable packages and/or the .NET framework on the other computer. But I don't want to. I just want to run my program on any computer without installing anything. Like in the old times. Thank you for your support. Attila ...Show All
