dev-cpp-users Mailing List for Dev-C++ (Page 4)

Regarding my last post, sorry for repeating what everyone had already said.
I had just clicked `Send' when I noticed that many others had previously
replied.

ONT.

This being the Dev-C++ mailing-list, I have to mention that Dev has
short-cuts for doing this:

Ctrl-Alt-. comments,
Ctrl-alt-, strips.

This can be found under the `Edit' menu.

I think he meant that he thought that /*-*/ should be used only in C. That's
not the case. It can be used in C++ source also.

Actually, there is:

#if 0 // That's a zero

  foo();
  etc();

#endif

This has the advantage of not having the disadvantage had by nested /* */
comments:

/* /* blah */ and */
           ^
           Comment ends here (unless your compiler supports nested
           comments, which is not an ANSI/ISO requirement.

Well, here's the part that works...
================================
bja3622@ANN /c/wx/samples/minimal
$ make -f makefile.unx     c++ -c `wx-config --cxxflags` -o minimal.o 
minimal.cpp
c++ -o minimal minimal.o `wx-config --libs`
================================
and my flags look like this ::

bja3622@ANN /c/wx/samples/minimal
$ wx-config --cxxflags
-I/usr/local/lib/wx/include/mswd-2.5 -D__WXDEBUG__ -D__WXMSW__ -mthreads 
-fno-pcc-struct-return

bja3622@ANN /c/wx/samples/minimal
$ wx-config --libs
-L/usr/local/lib  -Wl,--subsystem,windows -mwindows -mthreads   
/usr/local/lib/libwxmsw250d.a -ltiff -lrpcrt4 -loleaut32 -lole32 -luuid 
-lwinspool -lwinmm -lshell32 -lcomctl32 -lctl3d32 -ladvapi32 -lwsock32
================================
And this is the make output from Dev-Cpp
$ make -f makefile.win
g++.exe -c minimal.cpp -o minimal.o -I"C:/Dev-Cpp/include/c++"  
-I"C:/Dev-Cpp/include/c++/mingw32"  -I"C:/Dev-Cpp/include/c++/backward"  
-I"C:/Dev-Cpp/include"  -I"C:/msys/1.0/local/include"  
-I"C:/msys/1.0/local/lib/wx/include/mswd-2.5" -D__WXDEBUG__  
-D__WXMSW__  -D__GNUWIN32__  -mthreads  -fno-pcc-struct-return 
windres.exe -i Project2_private.rc -I rc -o Project2_private.res -O 
coff  --include-dir C:/msys/1.0/local/include
g++.exe minimal.o Project2_private.res -o "Project2.exe" 
-L"C:/Dev-Cpp/lib" -L"C:/msys/1.0/local/lib/wx" -mwindows 
-Wl,--subsystem,windows  -mwindows  -mthreads    
C:/wx/mswd/lib/libwxmsw250d.a  -ltiff  -lrpcrt4  -loleaut32  -lole32  
-luuid  -lwinspool  -lwinmm  -lshell32  -lcomctl32  -lctl3d32  
-ladvapi32  -lwsock32
================================
Aside from the inclusion of -D__GNUWIN32__ the compiler options are the 
same (plus a bunch of include directories, maybe relevant, maybe not...I 
don't know how to tell)

Same story with the libs too...the only difference is the -L"..." flags....

I guess the culprit must be right here....

I'm not entirely sure of the syntax but...

In DOS (command prompt) you can do
nmake DebugBuild > LPT1

to send output of the DebugBuild "build" to the printer attached to LPT1. 
I'm not sure about how you could tie this in with your project though...

#if 0

Yes I know I've forgotten to #include the iostream header.

Normally you can put just about anything within the #ifdef/#endif or
#if/#endif block - except that you should be a bit carefull about lines
that ends with a \ or lines that start with #.

Even in a undefined block, the preprocessor will expect \ at the end of
the line to mean a line-continuation with, if the next source line
contains the #endif will spell trouble.

Since the compiler supports nested #ifdef constructs, any #ifdef, #if,
#else, #endif etc. might seriously affect the size of the deactivated
block.

Yes, it is always good to have definned coding rules for new projects,
but:
1 - /* */ doesn't support nesting except for some compilers.
2 - it is not uncommon for a project to inherrit code, and that code might
use /* */ or might even be in C.

The only two safe methods of deactivating a large block of code is to
either delete the lines, or to #ifdef them. With good source control, the
code delete is preferable since it's WYSIWYG. However, a lot of people
doesn't use CVS or SourceSafe et. al at home, and then it is very easy to
permanently loose deleted code lines.

Guys, How exactly does '#if  0' ...#endif work?  I assumed that the 
preprocessor would skip the statements until it reached the #endif.  
However, when I tried to compile the code(with gcc 3.2.2)  below , i get a 
"missing terminator character ' error" .  It seems as though the code inside 
of an #if  0...#endif statement must be C/C++ accurate. It is easy fixed 
with a /*... */ .Care to elaborate....?
/* IfZero.c */
#include <stdio.h>
int main(void)
{
#if 0
This line should not be worried about. I'm quite sure it will *not* be  
included.
#endif
printf("...");
return 0;
}

I did not understand what you mean but a very good commenting style is =
this:


For comments use only //.

Use /* */ only for debugging purposes.

Often the one asking a question don't really know exactly what they want -
or at least doesn't specify it clearly enough.

Yes, multiline comments should of course use /* ... */ but very often when
someone gets bothered about commenting away a large number of lines, they
are not thinking about a big block-comment, but a large block of unwanted
code.

In short, crate a DIB - device-indenepdant bitmap - and then blit it to
the screen.

Hi all,
 
I have been playing around with streams and need the following help. 
I am able to print my files to our network printer and also write them to
specific network drives. 
How do I write a device in one of my ports...eg, serial port
consider this code as an example.
 
 
 
ofstream create(" \\omcwca054\\HPLJ5000 <file://\\omcwca054\\HPLJ5000> ")
cout<<"The following will be printed to on lazer jet printer";
create<<" Mpho Dondolo\n"
         <<" 45 Durban Ridge\n"
        <<"Tyger Valley\n";
create.close();
 
I want to write to my matrix display board that is connected to my serial
port.
 
NB!!!! Please do not flip if have not supplied sufficient info. ( last i did
that, some guy almost had a heart attack) I am still new at this game
  
 

Agreed. #if 0 ..#endif is a great way of doing it.

There is a quick way:

#if 0
...
#endif

Because "0" is "false", #if 0 can be considered like if (false){...}, 
which will in fact, never execute. So all code, with or without 
comments, will not be parsed by the C preprocessor there.

This approach is also better, because /* */ comments cannot be nested.

I accidentally erased Per Westermark's email so I reply without part of his
message.


Why use compilation under condition for comments in C++?

The best approach on comments in C++ is to use always // for comments, and
use /* */ only for debugging purposes (to comment out blocks of code).

What about GDI functions?
You could put use a bitmap brush and paint a region with it, but that's a 
poor way of doing it. Must be a better one.

Are you using MFC ?

I've done a similar thing in the past, on this mailing list I think, of 
asking for good tutorials for directx and other things, and there's a good 
reason:

Tutorials are a mixed bag sometimes. Some are easy to understand, others are 
not. Some, beginners find great, others beginners find extremely confusing. 
For those of you who work for a development company, you may know this by 
looking at your company's documentation and manuals from a beginner's point 
of view (get a trainee to follow them - you'll be surprised lol).

I'm not saying asking should be the first port of call, do a search of 
course, but as we are famous for saying in development "don't reinvent the 
wheel".

My $0.02, as has been said before.

If you want to deactivate a large number of lines, you might do

#ifdef _SKIP_THIS
  <unwanted code>
#endif

Then you don't have to make changes to all the individual lines of the
code block. By the way - don't ever "#define _SKIP_THIS" later just to
activate the code lines again :-)

On the topic, I made a search and I came up to this:
http://www.phreak.nu/books/more/



 I do not know if this stuff is illegal, so be careful.  I saw a directx 7
pdf there towards the end.

Yes, you have to use "//" in the beginning of each line you want to comme=

Dear Users,

	Suppose you can´t use the /* and */ comment delimiters to put in comments
an area of a code in C++.
	If I use the // command, must I put them in each line of this piece of
code?
      Is there another way?
