getenv does not crash if the environment variable is not found: it returns NULL.
You need to test against NULL before using the result of "getenv" in your programs.
For instance:

1/3 will give theoretically 0.333333333333.... so your question is not easy to answer. In practice 1.0 / 3.0 will give a finite floating-point number that is very close to 1/3 but is not...

There are three famous C and C++ encryption libraries freely available:

Download a trial copy of IBM Rational PurifyPlus or Compuware Numega, install it, run your program and check for problems.
It's faster and safer than modifying your program.

Ctrl+C = 3

Ctrl+Z = 26

Ctrl+<letter> = numerical order of the letter: A = 1, B = 2 ...

if you're running a non-graphical app, Ctrl+C will trigger the program termination.

Maybe you're supposing that the initial values of variables and member variables are zero. Use the compiler option /RTCu (Uninitialized local usage checks) and correct all errors that will appear in...

"void*" is not an "Automation" type.
You can try returning a Long, that a VB program can use as a "opaque handle".

You're saying good old MS-DOS (and the similar things like DR-DOS, FreeDOS etc)? MS-DOS supports anything because it does almost anything (MS-DOS is not a true operating system at all...). If you...

You'll need to write an applet (you can choose to write a 1-pixel applet, just for using its public methods), and learn about LiveConnect in devedge.netscape.com site. (Maybe you'll need to check the...

Q: How to use the hash_map class in C++

A: If you have Visual Studio .NET 2003 you can try the 'hash_map' class instead of the map if you want to use hash tables instead of binary trees to store...

It's always good to think in VB first and then define the IDL interface to your COM DLL.

For instance, if you have a "(ByRef P As String)" (or "P As String") you'll translate it as ([in,out]BSTR...

Maybe IsBadReadPtr?

from MSDN:

IsBadReadPtr

The IsBadReadPtr function verifies that the calling process has read access to the specified range of memory.

Maybe you'll have to use make_pair.

The declaration of make_pair is:

pair<T, U> make_pair(const T& x, const U& y);

so you can use make_pair<NMKey,...

Itr = MMIDCache.insert(Itr, MMIDList::value_type(NMKey, MMIDStructs));
