You should always use level 4.
There shouldn't be lesser levels.

That's a pattern that is generally held to be rubbish nowadays.
It only works when comparing an lvalue with an rvalue, and if you can remember to do it then you can remember to use the intended operator.

I've always viewed the difference as purely cosmetic or "style" of the coder. Personally, I've always disliked the (NULL == p) style because when I look at code for debugging, my brain processes left to right so I want to read "if p is NULL".

There is no difference between (NULL == p) or (p == NULL)
Both are same.
Actually it always better to prefer ( NULL == p )
Why because,
To aviod the accident of assignment that can happen.
say you are writing a statement (p == NULL ), but accidentally you wrote as p = NULL then the whole meaning is changed.
But if you use ( NULL == p ) then forgetting to give NULL = p will give compiler error.
From early days of programming this was a common error, so it now a standard to use as (NULL == p), which applicable to all the constants. It is always better to write constants on right side.

Hi,
I hereby claim first post!.
Thank you for helping, it is appreciated.
Could someone share with me how we can simulate a user moving the mouse around and clicking on stuff?
I need to know how you tell the mouse go there (meaning to any pixel of the lcd), click, wait go there, click again, etc.
This kind of behavior is mostly documented on the internet for situation that appears to be within the program's window using setcursorpos, getcursorposition for example: http://en.allexperts.com/q/C-1040/2008/1/Mouse-Tracking.htm[^]
Thank you 
Antoine

Messing around trying to learn something and I'm having trouble seeing the time benefits in my openMP example.
Each array (pArray1 and pArray2) hold about 10meg of RGB bitmap data, bufferSize2 is the bmp file size. OpenMP is enabled in VS.
So I can run the following with or without #pragma and get the same 20Msec's or there about.
<br />
<br />
#pragma omp parallel for //<-no impact on time<br />
for(long loop=0;loop<bufferSize2;loop++)<br />
pArrayResult[loop]= ~(pArray1[loop] - pArray2[loop]);<br />
<br />
I can try the common openMP example:
<br />
#pragma omp parallel<br />
{<br />
printf("hello world");<br />
}<br />
and never get something that looks like the example warning
helhelloo w world orld
I always get
hello world hello world
I can try
<br />
#pragma omp parallel<br />
{ <br />
int ID=omp_get_thread_num();<br />
printf("Hello(%d)",ID);<br />
printf("world(%d)",ID);<br />
}<br />
and the result is always sequential
hello(0)world(0) hello(1) world(1)
Anyone have an idea as to why everything seems sequential? What am I doing wrong?
Thanks,
Andre

I'm trying to fix an MFC app that puts up a "Failed to create empty document" for some customers when they try to open a data file. It hasn't failed on any of our own systems or for our customers in North America, but only for a customer in Sweden and one in Australia. It fails in both Win XP and Vista. The user has admin privileges. I installed those on a test machine of my own, setting the language to Australian and the locale to Australia, and installing the same anti-virus as the Australian customer, but nothing I do can reproduce the problem locally.
It's failing somewhere in MFC's OpenDocumentFile() function. Does anyone have an idea why it would work fine in the United States, but fail in Australia? It's not even reading a file yet, just trying to create an empty doc.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Dave,
I was adding some functionality to an MFC app that has been running for 10 years. I started getting the "Failed to create empty document" message. I stepped into the constructor of my document class and its base class and all the other objects that were being created. The constructor of one of my objects was getting a pen style out of a configuration file that contained a bogus value. The class was attempting to create a pen with "new CPen(..." using the bogus pen style value. The constructor of CPen threw an exception eventually causing the document class to exception out resulting in the infamous "Failed to create empty document" message. Perhaps your customers in Sweden and Australia have some bogus data in either their data files or some configuration file.

Hi,
My dll is creating connection to a sybase database. I am using ex_connect to connect the sybase.But while i am trying to build the code,after coming to the function ex_connect my debugger is not returning anything.Neither it is giving any error nor returning anything.
But while i used the same code(written in dll) in an executable file to test, it was working fine.
I need your help. Thanks in advance.

I have Dialog Box in SDI application. How to write data from Dialog to Document not closing the dialog box (just clicking the button).
Thanks for any help

Make the dialog modeless.

OK. I have changed my dialog to modeless but how to interact between dialog and document. For example:
In dialog I have number in edit box and on click "add" button I want this number to be written in new line on document.
Thanks for any help.

Post a message to it. When the document receives the message, it can then notify the view (i.e., UpdateAllViews()) that it needs to render the new data.

OK.
But can you give an example?
like:
when clicked add on dialog write "hello" on document
Thanks for help.

Assuming the dialog is modeless, call PostMessage() with some user-defined message and a pointer to some heap-based data (i.e., new) as the LPARAM. Provide a handler for that message in the document class. In that handler, update the document's data with the contents of LPARAM. Then call UpdateAllViews(). In the view' OnUpdate() method, it will get the latest data from the document and render it.
Aside from the dialog, all the rest is just plain MFC stuff.
You can test most of this by creating a sample SDI application. Add a CString member variable to the document and assign it some value. In the view's OnUpdate() method, get access to the document's data by calling GetDocument() plus whatever name you gave the member variable. Now render that data using the supplied DC's TextOut() method.

Hi
I have a great idea for a new virtual world which will be written in C++ and was wondering if someone would like to help with this project which I might need help with. It's a great design and should be easy to program. Members will be able to create a character, purchase and build houses, go shopping, chat with friends and much more in 3D.
Thanks
Andrew

A "great idea" is one thing, implementing it is another.
You're probably looking at 5 man-years work just to get a basic, reliable system up and running, and well over 20 man-years for a fully-featured, immersive system. Even something as crude as Second Life has had a huge amount of development time spent on it (and most people would expect much higher quality in any new offerings).
Rather than trying to built this from scratch yourself, you might try looking for a job at one of the companies already developing in this area.

I will get there, but it will take time. I have carefully planned out of how it will work and overall it should be easy to implement into C++. I am looking for someone to help me put in the basics like full screen, mousecursor, background music, sounds, graphics ect. Then I will think of a way to complete it whilst in the actuall world code.
If you are interested I would be delighted if you could help me with just the basics and I will be really happy with that so the project has been lifted off the ground.
Thanks
Andrew McIntyre

Honestly Andrew, I think you're seriously underestimating the scale of what you're planning. I'm not trying to put a damper on your dream, or say it's impossible, but as a game developer I have first-hand experience of this sort of thing. I've been involved in quite a few different projects over the years, from the small "3 or 4 person for a year" size up to the "nearly 100 for nearly 5 years" scale, and what you're proposing is definitely at the higher end of that range.
One suggestion I can make, which should help you along the way, and maybe get you producing games on a smaller scale first, is to look at some of the middleware and games engines out there. Try downloading a few, building some basic games, and getting a feel for the process.
A good place to start is with Microsoft's XNA framework, which gives you just about everything you need to get up and running.
There are also lists of engines at Devmaster and on Wikipedia - there are a lot to choose from, so I'd suggest trying maybe Ogre and Irrlicht as two pretty well developed ones.
If you really want to get into games development then it might be worth looking for companies in your area, asking what vacancies they have, or possibly even asking for a studio tour to get an idea of what working in games is like (it's not as glamorous or "fun" as people imagine).
Good luck with the project if you do decide to go ahead with it, but, as you say, it will take time, so be prepared to spend several years on it.

It isnt a virtual world like Second Life as advanced than that, I mean just like World of Kaneva on that sort of edge no higher than that.
As I said previously I am still looking for anyone who is interested, and that this project can be finished progressivly and I have planned out this project carefully step by step.
