Hai,
can anyone tell me what is the real problem in implementing malloc here
bmpsrc = (U8 *) malloc(bmpsize);
memset(bmpsrc, 0xff, 5);
Thanks

You should probably check that bmpsrc != NULL - your memory allocation could fail if there's not enough memory (or if there isn't a single chunk of memory big enough for the allocation)
|

void example()
{
U32 bmpsize; //this is an integer datatype
U8 *bmpsrc=0x00FC0; //this is the character datatype
//i want to use malloc only .....
bmpsrc =malloc(bmpsize);
memset(bmpsrc, 0x00FC0, 0);
..
..
..
}
this is my actual coding .....
i dont know how to change its memory allocation

I think you've got your initial variable setup the wrong way round. bmpsize doesn't seem to have a value, and you're setting the value of your pointer to 0x00fc0, which I guess is meant to be the actual size. If that's the case, you've also got the second and third arguments of memset the wrong way around.
I hope you'll remember to free that pointer when you're done with it.

What is the size of bmpsize ? If it is under 5, then you are writing outside the boundaries of your allocated area.
BTW, do you really want to code in C ? Why not use new instead of malloc ?
|

It's hard to know for sure without knowing what bmpsize is, but I would guess that bmpsize is less than 5. When you call memset, you are setting the five bytes starting at the address of bmpsrc to 0xff. If you have allocated less than five bytes, you will be writing to memory you do not own

Did you check that bmpsrc was not NULL?
bmpsize is checked for being greater than 5?
maybe memset(bmpsrc, 0xff, max( 5, bmpsize)) would be better?
Other than that, the code snippet looks fine.

I was to learn later in life that we tend to meet any new situation by reorganising: and a wonderful method it can be for creating the illusion of progress, while producing confusion, inefficiency and demoralisation."

What is U8 ? What is value of bmpsize ?
|
|
|

void example()
{
U32 bmpsize; //this is an integer datatype
U8 *bmpsrc=0x00FC0; //this is the character datatype
//i want to use malloc only .....
bmpsrc =malloc(bmpsize);
memset(bmpsrc, 0x00FC0, 0);

Why you are passing last parameter as 0, it should be less than or equal to bmpsize.
|
|

|

the bmpsize value is taken equal to the data type value(U32 bmpsize that is),it is taken as 2bytes.
My real problem is i want to create a buffer to draw a bmp file...
for that i have to use malloc then i need bmpsrc that is the memory allocated area and the size.....

In this case, third parameter to memset in your OP should be
bmpsize. Where as in your OP, you was passing 5, that was causing problem.

May be you can be little clear, what you are trying to say.

What does your debugger tell you?

The instruction at "0x006aoef8" referenced memory at "ox00000000".The memory could not be read.

That's not a text from your debugger. That's Windows error message.
By using the debugger you have, you can set a break point in your source code. When the program reaches the break point, the debugger will stop the execution of youe program so you can (amongst other things) inspect your variables and find out the cause of the problem.
You should learn how to use the debugger. It's not very hard to do and the debugger will definately save you heaps of time when you are looging for problems with your code.

Hi,
I need to erase Button edge lines. so that i can not see its rectangle line on dialogbox? But the button should work as like before.
How can i do this ?
Thanks.

Do you have owner draw for your button?
|
|
|
|
|
you need to owner draw the button..

|
|
|

How do i that ? Can you show me few examples ?
|
|
|
|
|
you can find many article in the code project describing button owner drawing. search "owner draw button" in code project.

Alright, this may be one of those annoying "how long is a piece of string" questions, but I'm just curious if anyone can give a short but key explanation of
- MFC, Win32. I've seen articles saying MFC is "bad" but not really sure why, I've knocked up many things with the app wizard - dialog apps, and to be honest, probably don't really understand the difference between the two, much less why one is better than the other. I'm sure I've also written stuff in Win32 when I wrote tools for 3DSMax but I've been out of programming for a long while, and probably only ever "knew what I needed to know" when I was doing it. Both MFC and WIn32 use C++ as their core?
- I always assumed this C# and .NET stuff were just an extension of Visual C++ but I can now see I'm very wrong - it's a whole new syntax of code. Is this the best place to start now for writing quick and simple tools/applications?

I think the main reason people would consider MFC bad and the .Net framework good is that MFC has gradually evolved and expanded over the lifespan of Windows, and so has many weird inconsistencies (e.g. if one function returns a colour, and another takes a colour as an argument, you may find that these colours are different types, so you need to convert between them.)
.Net was developed from scratch from the ground up, so is far more consistent (and thus easier to learn if you've got no prior knowledge of the system - from my experience usually if something looks like it's the right way of doing things, it should work)
Of course, in 25 years, we'll probably be complaining about how bloated and convoluted .NET v12 is, and looking forward to whatever new framework is coming out
