• Tex Riddell Prefast and LoadString weirdness

  Hello everyone, I am trying to compile my old C++ code with Whidbey Beta 2 and prefast turned on (/analysis for static code analysis, turn on "Enable code analysis for C/C++" in Advanced settings of C/C++ configuration properties). I get weird warnings with my use of the LoadString API that I cannot explain. I've boiled it down to two small functions foo() and bar() that should behave identical but the first one gives a prefast warning(C6386: b ...Show All

• Perm preprocessor definition _VC80_UPGRADE=0x0710

  Hi, I noticed that this definition is applied to projects upgraded from VC7.1, but there seems not to be any reference to it on MSDN2. So can anyone tell me what exactly it does I.e. does it also alter any compiler defaults I also searched the source files in the VC install dir, and the only reference there is in VC\atlmfc\include\afxres.h. So Im interested it it has any effect other than in that source file. Thanks. ...Show All

• mickey arnold Feb 2005 CTP: Are precompiled headers broken?

  Use /Yc on one file (usually ill-named stdafx.cpp) to create the precompiled header file, then use /Yu on all other files to use the PCH file. If you haven't used a consistent 'stdafx.h' but were relying on /YX to automatically (re)build the PCH file as necessary, you'll have some pain to work through, and you'll also enjoy quite substantially improved compile times once you've done it. Hi, I have a similar pro ...Show All

  Hello, I am forced to mix C and C++ and ran into trouble compiling and linking the sources under Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition. I have provided a trivial example to illustrate the problem: The header file defines a struct type named MYSTRUCT,  cpp-file.cpp declares a global variable of this type and c-file.c declares the same global externally and manipulates it in a function. The linker complains about an unresolved symbol ...Show All

  Does anyone know if there are any books for someone to learn about VC++ 2005, specifically with the new syntax I have the 2003 book, but I can't compile anyone of the programs in it because the language has gone through extensive changes. The MSDN library doesn't give really good tutorials with the new syntax. Thanks for the help. Here is another book on VC++ 2005 http://www.wrox.com/WileyCDA/WroxTi ...Show All
