searchable void* container
-
hi every1 will u plz help me on this ... im creating a generic container class and im implemeting it using the (void*) pointer technique but to add a search feature, the search function should compare two (void*) variables, i dont know how to do that! i think memcmp could be used somehow but the problem that it needs a length parameter which is now available!! thanks already
you are on the C++/CLI forum[^], while you question is for the Visual C++ forum[^] next time, be careful... and for you problem, do you code in C or C++ ? because C++ provides templates, that may certainly interrest you...

oh im sorry for this mistake anyway it doesnt really matter if its a c or c++ but for templates they are not compliant with the c++ standard so i think using the void* will be safer!!

It's an easy mistake to make unless you read the main forum page that explains the topic of each forum: http://www.codeproject.com/script/comments/forums.asp[^] John

are you on drugs ?! :wtf::omg: templates are part of and are defined in the standard !!!!! hey,, i think you should really revise you judgement about templates, and learn a bit more about them...

Templates were not finalized until the mid to late 90s so compliers created before this may have a problem with them but as long as you stick to the basics and don't use partial template specialization and a few other features you will be fine on older compilers. I have been using templates for at least 5 years starting with VC6 (which is not fully compliant but very capable of using templates). void* is definitly not the way to go if you are using c++.

True, but i blame MS marketing for this. Most people consider CLI to be "command line interface", not "common language..." (what the heck is I for anyway?).
