Wow... Window Station objects - I'd never even heard of them! Thanks for tracking this down, 2kaud. And thanks Steve for that VirtualBox stuff.

Over the Easter period I spent a day or two reading up about virtual desktops (in Windows). I was hoping to find some simple way to implement them but everything I've read makes it sound fearsomely...

Does anyone know if it's possible to implement virtual desktops in Windows (programmatically?) Here's the scenario...

I work on an audio product which uses a common plugin format called VST. And...

Many thanks 2kaud - you're probably right about SEH and __try / __except etc.

I tried those suggestions but they don't work here in the case of Access Violations. Instead, the VC debugger gives...

Is there a way to catch exceptions that get generated by the OS? For example...


try {
fread(NULL, 2, 3, NULL); // This produces an Access Violation error
} catch (...) {
int x = 3; // But...

Over on the Microsoft forum one of the contributers suggested adding an extra line which - by some strange magic - seems to fix the compile:-


#include <list>

using LT = std::list<int>;
...

Thanks 2kaud, I do appreciate all your efforts with this! Unfortunately CodeGuru won't let me give you an extra rating but you definitely deserve one !!

Many thanks 2kaud - I just found a few minutes to try this....

I've tried ISO C++14 Standard (/std:c++14) and also ISO C++17 Standard (/std:c++17) and Preview - Features from the Latest C++...

Okay, got it. It's currently set to Default (ISO C++14 Standard)



Maybe - but the functions with overloads are always the ones which give the compiler error :confused:

Sorry - I'm not quite sure what that means - but I think this might be significant...



It looks like all the functions which fail are ones that offer an overloaded version - e.g.

...

I don't know if this'll hep or just complicate things but this seems to be the current implementation for std::list::unique() (VS2019)


void unique()
{ // erase each element matching previous...

It looks like we're using ver 5.3.6 (about 2 x versions ago). I'll be busy tomorrow but if I can find some time at the weekend I'll try to product that minimal sample.

My gut feeling is that this...

Thanks 2kaud - but isn't that true for all template functions? I've never quite got my head around templates but my understanding is that they're not "real" functions and classes - they're more like...

I'm building some code which uses a library called lua. One of its header files contains a template class which (I think) is some kind of customised std::list - i.e. it's a cutdown version which only...

Another important consideration is debugging. Visual Studio features an integrated debugger (and a truly excellent one) whereas Code::Blocks needs to defer to an external debugger and the last time I...

Woohoo!! Thanks 2kaud - I'd been scratching my head for over a day and didn't notice that !!

This code builds fine with gcc and it used to build fine with VC2008 but it causes a compiler error with VS2019. The original code used more complicated object types so the comparisons look quite...

I just figured it out... first, detach the Output window (so that it's floating on some different part of the screen). Then select Debug->Windows->Breakpoints and the breakpoints will now display...

Bback in the good old days of VC8, if I was editing a project (i.e. not in compile mode or debug mode etc) the bottom bit of my edit window used to show breakpoints (see the attached screenshot). I...

[Moved to new thread...]

This actual object type is more complicated but I still see the problem, even with a simple int -so here goes:-


std::vector<int> vect;
int capacity = vect.capacity(); // capacity == 0
int*...

No, that's not the problem.... I was thinking more about all the other functions (i.e. the hundreds of functions that'll be common in both DLL's). I wondered if there's some way to guarantee that the...

Thanks guys - my original description was a bit simplified so let me explain what's actually happening...

I'm building some 3rd party DLLs which still use module definition files, rather than...

Many thanks Victor.... under Configuration Properties->Advanced I need to select 64-bit (x64) as my preferred build tool architecture (I'm guessing that makes it use the 64-bit architecture directly...

Groan - having accepted that I'll just have to tolerate these problems in my Debug build, I've hit an even bigger problem now with the Release build :confused:

The various DLL's all seem to build...
