I don't like to look nor edit code in that mode. On the other hand, I don't like having to mouse over an error description to be able to see the huge line. Guess what I just discovered: you can press Ctrl-R, Ctrl-R in the Output pane and it works great...

This is related to the P.D.² section of my last blog entry . In the released versions of ATL, CComObjectCached has a potential scalability issue. That class is the one implementing IClassFactory when your component is a DLL (vs. an EXE): #if...

Both _com_ptr_t and CComPtr template classes make your life a lot easier when consuming COM components. But if you have multi-threaded code that’s creating a lot of COM component at a very high rate, you might want to look for that old “...

I'm one of those who is annoyed by that Windows CE documentation: Relief from CE Documentation

Very good information: C++ scoped static initialization is not thread-safe, on purpose! As another reader mentioned, I'm curious what's the C#/VB.NET position on this. I'm launching ILDisasm...

A dev lead in the C++ team advised me to look at that book . I just finished 1.5.1 Implementing Policy Classes with Template Template Parameters . And I thought I knew C++! I feel so humble now...

Regarding my earlier post about a native type safe wrapper for a managed enumerator, I received the following comment from a developer in the Visual C++ group: One nit about these wrapper classes that you might want to be cognizant of is the small...

I did not know about this compiler switch but learned about it on what we call an internal Distribution List. Have a look at those newsgroup entries and the related “ INFO: Using the /d1PrivateNativeTypes Compiler Switch to Make Native Classes...

I know, I know. Macros are evil. So just FYI, with those: #define FOR_EACH( ___T, ___V, ___C ) \ ___T * ___V ; \ Enumerator<___T> __enum_##___V(___C) ; \ while ( (__enum_##___V).MoveNext() ? ( ___V = __enum_##___V.get_Current() ,...

This is my current version. Comments are welcome. (yes, I removed the previous posts as I did not want to fill this blog with “ Here is verssio n“... Sorry.) class EnumeratorBase { public : bool MoveNext() { return m_e->MoveNext...

Value Type Representation Between the Original and Revised C++ Stan was kind enough to explain me what he meant by “ When you couple that with the continued requirement that non-POD native classes be pointer members within the value type,...

Edward Dudenhoefer was kind enough to comment on that post. You can get this information in more details by looking at “TLS310 - Visual C++ "Whidbey": New Language Design and Enhancements ( Start Session , Download Powerpoint )” but for those...

Those 4 lines create a managed array of integers (System::Int32 value type). I prefer the syntax of the first version but I would understand people using the 4 th : Int32 mai[] = new Int32[2] ; Int32 mai_1 __gc [] = new Int32[2] ; Int32 mai_2...

Wesner Moise wrote “ So, how do we call the destructor from other managed languages, where destructor calls have to be explicit ” If you can change the managed C++ code, then I would highly advise you to do so by implementing the IDisposable...

The Wireless IntelliMouse Explorer that is. I've been using a lot of Microsoft mice over the years so when I saw that Tilt Wheel technology , I thought that I would use it as much as the Scroll Wheel one: a lot! Well, it turns out I don't. But the...

Thanks Jonathan! For Whidbey we have changed the name of the destructor and constructor to {dtor} and {ctor} – this is so people cannot do the following: class X { public: X(int data) : m_data(data) { } ~X() { } void mf() { } private...

You know, the one we receive after the user clicks “Send Error Report“ on the following dialog: If you're an ISV developer and wonder if your company participates, check Participating Companies . As a developer, you'll want to read...

Thanks for that answer Stan.

Thanks for the answer Stan.

Last week, I was reviewing the Managed C++ MOC course as I was scheduled to give it to an ISV. Something I read triggered my curiosity. I was wondering what delete p ; delete p ; would mean in Managed C++ as I know the second call is undefined...
