Hi,

templates can create a great mess sometimes. Try the following:

@line 133:
typename std::vector<ArvoreB>::iterator it_filho;

This helps the compiler understand that iterator is a type.

Aloha from Honolulu,
Check spelling of file name in the directory.  I once made an error in 
spelling and because I used the "Save" in the menu or the icon I didn't 
realize the mistake.  But the compiler kept saying it couldn't find the 
file.  Perhaps something similar is happening.  Mistake can also be 
capital letter in one instance and no caps in another.
Aloha,
Roger

Please, use ASCII mail when posting to this list. Not all people are using
a web-baseed email reader...

You seem to be using a very funny indentation. Please don't.

To access an element of an array, you should write
array[0].member =3D 10;

You can not write lines like 1.name =3D "hydrogen".

Observe also that in C/C++, an array starts with index 0, and not index 1.

Hi,

You are making a mistake when you try to declare all your structs :

for (i=1;i < 5;++i) {
  struct elements{
    string name;
    int atomic_no;
    float atomic_weight;
  } i;
}

This will not declare 5 structs, called '1' through '5', but all called 'i'.
 They will also be local to the inside of the loop: at the end of each
iteration of the loop they will be destroyed.

Therefore these references to the structs are invalid.

1.name = "hydrogen";
1.atomic_no = 1;
1.atomic_weight = 1.007794;
[...]

Also, you should note that variable names cannot begin with numbers:
the compiler saw number, period, something, and interpreted that as a
floating point number, except the 'something' wasn't the rest of a
float.

in the rest of your program, you test against each struct in a if/elseif ,
this is a good place to use a loop.

A better way of writing the program would be:

A. declare the struct and give it a name (eg if you want to make a new one
sometime, you don't have to rerite the struct declaration) so:
typedef struct _Element {
 //members
} Element;
You can now use this stuct by using 'struct _Element' or 'Element'

B. declare an array of these structs. I trust you'll manage this

C. fill the structs, referencing the elements in the array:
elements[1].name = "hydrogen";
and so on

D. you're ready to roll: get input, loop through the array, testing the
names

hope this will point you in the right direction.


Cheers,
Jonathan

PS. Sorry for the double post, bad aiming for a click....

Hi,

Have you tried to create a project in a directory path that doesn't
contain a space? You should always be careful with the use of spaces in
directory name - quite a lot of development tools are affected!

Hi all,

I have newly installed the Dec-C++,I used all the default setups.
Then I new a Console Application project and without adding any code
line,when I compile it,an error returned:
     " CreateProcess(C:\DOCUME~1\vsp\LOCALS~1\Temp\make30042.bat,
C:\DOCUME~1\vsp\LOCALS~1\Temp\make30042.bat, ...) failed. "
     "  The system cannot find the file specified. "
     " D:\Users\atao\Exercise\Dev Projects\dev_pro4\Makefile.win"  "[Build
Error]  [main.o] Error 2 "
I can not make out what's the problem,would you pls tell me why it is if you
know?
Thanks a lot!

Hey folks, I am looking detail information about Glib::usleep(); the one =
provided by the Gtkmm documentation is very skimpy. Does anyone know =
where I can get more detail information of this function.

Thanks!

Initialize with a constructor:

struct check {
    const int variable;
    check() variable(2) {}
};

Hi,

You can declare an instance of this struct like this :

struct check foo = {42};

If you are mallocing your instances, I'm not sure you can set this value
legally

This _should_ work though
>> Hack <<
struct check *foo;
//malloc, checks, etc
*(int *)foo = 42;
>> Hack <<

A safer version would be (still a bit evil though):
struct check {
     const int variable;
};
struct check_rw {
     int variable;
};
struct check *foo;
//malloc, checks, etc
((struct check_rw *)foo).variable = 42;

I may be overlooking an option, though.

Regards,
Jonathan

<Morpheus> linux, c'est une question de VI ou de MORE

Hope everyone is in good health.

if have a structure like the following

struct check
{
	const int variable;
};

than, how to initialize the data member "variable".

You are correct! I went to the documentation myself and I was incorrect. For
that I apologizes for giving incorrect information. The thread is suspend,
and then it is awaken by the operating system.

Sorry for the wrong information.....

Not really correct. The Sleep() call does not busy-loop. It suspends the
current thread to allow other threads to run for the delay duration.

This is the description for the dwMilliseconds parameter to Sleep().

"Specifies the time, in milliseconds, for which to suspend execution. A
value of zero causes the thread to relinquish the remainder of its time
slice to any other thread of equal priority that is ready to run. If there
are no other threads of equal priority ready to run, the function returns
immediately, and the thread continues execution. A value of INFINITE
causes an infinite delay."

This is easy to test by writing a miniature program with a Sleep(60000) -
the program will terminate after one minute, but during this time the Task
Manager will show that it doesn't consume any processor time.

My information is not incorrect. Sleep does indeed sleeps, being waked
by an interrupt. Its not a busy wait loop. You can check that by
making your function call and using Sleep call.

Check processor usage and tell us your results.

Not really correct. The Sleep() call does not busy-loop. It suspends the
current thread to allow other threads to run for the delay duration.

This is the description for the dwMilliseconds parameter to Sleep().

"Specifies the time, in milliseconds, for which to suspend execution. A
value of zero causes the thread to relinquish the remainder of its time
slice to any other thread of equal priority that is ready to run. If there
are no other threads of equal priority ready to run, the function returns
immediately, and the thread continues execution. A value of INFINITE
causes an infinite delay."

This is easy to test by writing a miniature program with a Sleep(60000) -
the program will terminate after one minute, but during this time the Task
Manager will show that it doesn't consume any processor time.

>> You Wrote: 
>>But it also eats your cpu cycles... Sleep doest consume CPU.

Please reserve your comments to information that is accurate. You are giving
the wrong information. I don't know any CPU Instruction that does not
require cpu cycles.
Sleep() is not some magical command, nor a cpu instruction. It is a function
call just like any other function call. It takes a value (DWORD) and returns
VOID. It's prototype declaration is in windows.h.

If you take the time to investigate you will notice the assembler code that
gets produced when you make this call. Better yet you could have just read
the MSDN entry on microsoft's website and it would have told you how this
function works. Functionally it works the same way as the function I wrote.
It checks the clock ticks and compares them to see if the require time has
lapse.

The major difference is that my function is platform independent, and it
does not require preprocessor commands. As you know, windows.h is only
available on a windows platform. The function I wrote, requires only time.h
which is a c++ library.

I will even take this one step further. If you compile these two programs,
the sizes of the files are the same (16k), and the assembler code that is
produced is almost Identical.

Program 1:
//Source code headers
#include <time.h>

//Main program function
int main()
{
    //sleep command
    unsigned int clockTicks;				
    clock_t ticksReached;				

    clockTicks = 3000;				
    ticksReached = clockTicks + clock();        	
    while (ticksReached > clock());		

   
    //Exit program
    return 0;
}

Program 2:

//Source code headers
#include <windows.h>

//Main program function
int main()
{
    //sleep command
   Sleep(300);
   
    //Exit program
    return 0;
}
