• Visual C++ Problems using _lseeki64, _fseeki64 and _ftelli64

  My application creates a large file and I am trying to use _lseeki64() to position the file pointer. I have found that after a write I need to call fflush() to make it work correctly. If I call it after a read it always positions the file at the end. I have found some references on the internet to _fseeki64() and _ftelli64() but I cannot find them in any include file or library. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated &nbs ...Show All

• Visual C++ C# array equivalent in C++/CLI

  Hi, I'm writing a C++/CLI wrapper for legacy C++ code such that it can be used from e.g. C#. The latter has built-in support for arrays, which even can be jagged.
