Hi! I have a problem using a few overloaded functions located in a DLL that I created. The source code for the DLL looks like this:
<br />
#if defined MYDLL_EXPORTS<br />
#define MYDLL_API __declspec( dllexport )<br />
#else<br />
#define MYDLL_API __declspec( dllimport )<br />
#endif<br />
<br />
MYDLL_API __int8 __cdecl readNumber( __int32 &destinationNumber );<br />
MYDLL_API __int8 __cdecl readNumber( double &destinationNumber );
The next lines go in myDll.cpp:
<br />
#include <iostream><br />
#include "myDll.h"<br />
<br />
MYDLL_API __int8 __cdecl readNumber( __int32 &destinationNumber )<br />
{<br />
std::cin >> destinationNumber;<br />
if ( std::cin.bad( ) )<br />
return 0;<br />
<br />
return 1;<br />
}<br />
<br />
MYDLL_API __int8 __cdecl readNumber( double &destinationNumber )<br />
{<br />
std::cin >> destinationNumber;<br />
if ( std::cin.bad( ) )<br />
return 0;<br />
<br />
return 1;<br />
}
It works just fine if I use load-time linking (by linking the myDll.lib too). But what I want to do is use run-time linking, like below:
<br />
#include <windows.h><br />
#include "myDll.h"<br />
<br />
typedef __int8 (__cdecl *ReadInt32NumberFunction( __int32 &destinationNumber );<br />
typedef __int8 (__cdecl *ReadDoubleNumberFunction( double &destinationNumber );<br />
<br />
int main( void )<br />
{<br />
HMODULE moduleHandle;<br />
ReadInt32NumberFunction readInt32Number;<br />
ReadDoubleNumberFunction readDoubleNumber;<br />
__int32 int32Value;<br />
double doubleValue;<br />
<br />
moduleHandle = LoadLibrary( "myDll.dll" );<br />
if ( moduleHandle != NULL )<br />
{<br />
readInt32Number = (ReadInt32NumberFunction)GetProcAddress( moduleHandle, "readNumber" );<br />
readDoubleNumber = (ReadDoubleNumberFunction)GetProcAddress( moduleHandle, "readNumber" );<br />
FreeLibrary( moduleHandle );<br />
}<br />
<br />
return 0;<br />
}
The problem is that both readInt32Number and readDoubleNumber are NULL after calling GetProcAddress. It works if I declare those two functions as extern "C" in myDll.cpp, but then, I cannot use function overloading.
Another problem is that if I want to call readNumber( ) with a __int32 and a double parameter, I must do something like this:
readInt32Number( int32Value );<br />
readDoubleNumber( doubleValue );
I would like to use those two overloaded functions with their own names, like this:
readNumber( int32Value );<br />
readNumber( doubleValue );
Even though all these problems are solved using load-time linking, I DO NOT want to use it. Instead, I would like run-time linking, with LoadLibrary(), GetProcAddress() and FreeLibrary().
Can anyone help me with this, please? Thanks in advance!

When you use function overloading, the compiler generates a 'decorated' name for the function based upon the actual function name and the argument signature. Using your function names, the compiler might generate the name 'readNumber@4' for 'readNumber(int)', and 'readNumber@8' for 'readNumber(double)'. This lets the linker, which doesn't know anything about function overloading, tell the two functions part.
This should tell you why dynamic loading based on the name 'readNumber' alone isn't going to work. There's no way for the loader to know which version of the function you are asking for.
The simplest solution is to continue using the extern "C" approach you have been, and 'decorate' the names yourself.

How do i convert an integer to string?
Is that really necesary if i want to paint some integer values on a win32 programm? or is there some function similar to TextOut that can paint integer values?
Thank you

Use itoa() or sprintf() to convert an integer to a string.

Yes, it is necessary. If you think about it, it doesn't make sense for the Windows API to provide a 'paint an integer' function in addition to all of the 'paint text' functions. 'Paint text' functionality supports anything that can be represented as text. Converting that 'anything' to text is just a second operation that can be implemented separately, and doesn't have to be maintained as part of the Windows API.

I'd do it like this:
std::ostringstream ss;
ss << "The number is " << 42;
TextOut(hDC, 0, 0, ss.str().c_str(), ss.str().length());
Naturally you'll need to include <sstream>

This is silly! Yes it is necessary, but the programming language or the compiler vender may provide a method for doing it for you (another programmer). If you really want to be a programmer, then you should be able to recreate the code to do the conversion. The others have showed you the methods provided to do the conversion (which you should use), but you are not a programmer until you can write a method to do it your self.

Hi one, hi all!
I have recently ported from WiInet to WinHttp in my server application.
Everything works just fine but there is one major question regarding some flags that were set in the WinInet HttpOpenRequest(…). The dwFlags had values of INTERNET_FLAG_KEEP_CONNECTION and INTERNET_FLAG_NO_CACHE_WRITE which I need to use, the problem is I can not find the equivalent in the WinHttp API protocol!!! I was told to add it the Headers of the request in format of:
"Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded\r\n Connection : Keep-Alive\r\n Cache-Control: no-cache"
but it seems rather strange to set flags as part of the message sent to the server!
Any one?
Thanks
S

You've got a couple options here.
1. If the file is relatively small, read the entire file into a string and then use one of the string search functions (like strstr) to find the opening marker <<A>>. Extract the data from where you find it.
2. If the file is large, read it a chunk at a time. Look for the first character in the marker in the chunk. If you find it, read enough more out of the file, appending to the chunk, that you're sure you have all of the data you're interested in. Extract the data.
3. Given your example, it almost sounds like you're trying to read XML. If that's the case, there's plenty of code around for helping you do that.

1. no - I'm not trying to read an XML file. I'm trying to read a picture file that has a header from which I'm trying to extract the string... when I open the picture file with a text editor I see the string I have to read... and yes, the file is big...
2. How can I read chunk by chunk? with the read function?
right now, I'm reading like this:
int MaxBufferSize = 1000;
char cTemp[MaxBufferSize + 1];
cf.Read(cTemp, MaxBufferSize);
//then look for the string in the cTemp array.
is this the correct way to do this?
how can I search for the string in the cTemp array? with a for loop?
|

Try looking up the strstr function, which searches for one string within another.
You can also do the search yourself by looping through the data, something like this:
for (int offset = 0; offset < MaxBufferSize; offset++) {
if (CTemp[offset] == '<') {
if (strcmp(&CTemp[offset],"<<A>>") == 0) {
}
}
}

This loop will not work. The strcmp function matches two NULL terminated strings - As such it will never match the sequence unless it's at the end of the buffer (the only place where it could be NULL terminated).

Try this:
CFile cf(sCurrImgPath, CFile::modeRead);
const int MaxBufferSize = 100000;
char cTemp[MaxBufferSize + 1];
const char *pStringToFind = "<<A>>";
size_t LengthOfStringToFind = strlen(pStringToFind);
while (pStr == NULL)
{
iBytesRead = cf.Read(cTemp, MaxBufferSize);
pStr = strstr(cTemp, pStringToFind);
if ( pStr != NULL )
{
pStr += LengthOfStringToFind ;
}
}

Ok - it still doesn't work....
I think the problem is that I am trying to read text from a file which is actually an image file.
I'll explain my problem in a different manner...
what I have is a *.png file (image file), which has a row of text somewhere in the file. This row starts with: >tEXtComment, and continues with the data I need to read...
how can I extract this row that starts with ›tEXtComment from the image file?

Before you worry about that test your code on a plain text file you create.
Steve
|
|
|
|

Ok - so I copied the string to a text file and renamed it as a *.png file, and it finds the string, and works fine...
|
|
|
|
|
Ok. Now open the .png file with Notepad and see it actually contains the string.
Steve
|
|
|
|
|
what .png file? I didn't understand what u meant..
I already opened the .png files with notepad, and they all contain the string. That includes the .png file that is the actual image, and the .png file I just created...
