• J. JIMENEZ Documentation about name mangling

  Hi all, two questions: 1) Is there any (detailed) documentation about the name mangling rules applied by vc 6, vc 7.1 and vc 8 And/or is there any API available where I can stuff in mangled names and get unmangled names back (and possibly even vice versa) And/or how can I use link.exe like dumpbin does to investigate obj/coff files for mangeld and unmangled symbols 2) Out of curiosity: Why is the C++ protection scope (public, private etc.) en ...Show All

• ANied Bufferoverflowu.lib for amd64 is missing in whidbey beta 2

  Lets say you compile some code with the latest PSDK for AMD64 cpu. Then you compile your files into a library and expect users to use that library. However because of the security code there is a dependency for using bufferoverflowu.lib on the PSDK since it uses old CRT code. If you use #pragma comment(lib, "bufferoverflowu.lib") then the file must exist to be able to succesfully link. This is a problem if you compile your code with the PSDK an ...Show All

• Shamrox debugging: where are the variables?

  Let me start by saying that I am a beginning C++ programmer and am very new to Visual Studio 2005, so please forgive me if this is a silly question. When running the debugger on a simple program such as the one listed below, I find that it doesn't bother to display anything for most of the variables, and even for the variables it does display for, it seems to be garbage. #include <iostream> using namespace std; void main() { const int ar ...Show All

• ippy04 New to VC++, can't really get started...

  I'm a C programmer and I just installed VC++, created a new project called test1, and started typing in code.  I decided to make a real simple program that has some input and output so I can see how VC++ works but after I create my project and type in my code, I do not know where to go from there.  I decided to debug since that is the first thing I do with all my other compilers, then compile and build but it cannot find test1.exe ...Show All

• Mark Jerrom visualizing #include tree graph dependency

  I put all those words in the title to facilitate people's future searches.  My question is: does anyone know of a  visualization tool that will show which files include which   I found text-based ones (e.g. Includes by adonovan@lcs.mit.edu ), that parse one .cpp file at a time. Is there anything out there (free or commercial) that handles the whole project with its VS2005 setting so that it runs in the same environment as the ...Show All

• Eusebiu Upcasting/Downcasting name jargon

  Well I am a little confused with naming jargon of casting. My intended goal was: CBase* pBase = static_cast (derived); What is it called upcasting/downcasting I guess what we are doing is casting a pointer from Dervied Class to Base one so we are moving up in hierachy. Should It not be called upcasting . and There are many articles where it is called upcasting like for example: http://www.codeproject.com/managedcpp/castingbasics.asp ...Show All

• JasonZ57666 _itoa "identifier not found" once ported to VS 2005

  I have recently installed VS 2005 and loaded my VS 2003 project. I quickly realized that I needed/wanted to define "_CRT_SECURE_NO_DEPRECATE" bc I need to be up-and-running with a clean compile fairly soon. After adding the underscore to many of my string related calls, my only remaining problem is with four existing _itoa() function calls. I get the following compile errors: error C3861: '_itoa': identifier not found Sure, it ...Show All
