But reference never creates a new variable, it is an alias to the same memory location, if you see the output of the code, you will see "i" and "j" have the same address. ok, if the following statement creates a new variable, is there any way to get the address of that variable? i tried to print &(int&)i, it still gives the same address as "i" and "j"; int& j = (int&)i;

i know that, but i was trying to understand the previous behavior and that is still a mystery!

VS 2010, VC++.

void main() { const int i = 10; int& j = (int&)i; cout << "i= " << i << endl; cout << "j= " << j << endl; cout << "&i= " << &i << endl; cout << "&j= " << &j << endl; j++; cout << "j= " << j << endl; cout << "i= " << i << endl; } //output i= 10 j= 10 &i= 0012FF60 &j= 0012FF60 j= 11 i= 10 Hi, the code declares a const integer and a reference to it. incrementing a reference adds 1 to j and outputs as 11, that is fine. i was expecting "i" to get modified, since "i" and "j", both having a same memory address, as i print "i", it outputs 10 (or compiler should not allow to increment j). i could not understand the behavior. Could anybody explains me what is going on behind the scene? regards Abid

it is general discussion. or if there is any API or any way in C, i can go for that too.

Hello All, I want to delete "Games" from windows 7. i.e. delete all the installation files from the system, so that if in case user turns the Game feature ON, OS should ask for some media like DVD to copy those installation files. Turn the Feature OFF & ON does not achieve my target. i have to remove files to make more space available. NOTE: By default windows 7 contains all the files within its local storage ie HDD Any suggestion how to approach the problem. Thanks!

Good day Friends! Here comes a new challenge! Need to discuss whether it is right or what? My problem is that the challenge sent by the server should be 8 bytes as i read from the documentation. As i decode the hash send by the server and Extract Challenge from it, it gives me only 7 characters including null character. should i generate the response by using that 7 byte challenge or somewhere i am wrong. is the challenge must be 8 bytes? In short my question is:: can a challenge be less than 8 bytes?

yes i tried to find out the instructions to compile but i didn`t find any info regarding compilation.

ok.. i need to compile the source code.

Hi david can u guide me how to convert this function to Win32 API, ie how can i handle this function as message void CMainFrame::OnInitMenu(CMenu* pMenu) { #if _MFC_VER < 0x0800 #undef __FUNCTION__ #define __FUNCTION__ "OnInitMenu()" #endif // _MFC_VER < 0x0800 AfxTrace(_T(__FUNCTION__) _T(": %#0x\n"), pMenu->GetSafeHmenu()); MENUITEMINFO minfo; minfo.cbSize = sizeof(minfo); for (UINT pos=0; pos<pMenu->GetMenuItemCount(); pos++) { minfo.fMask = MIIM_FTYPE | MIIM_ID; pMenu->GetMenuItemInfo(pos, &minfo, TRUE); HICON hIcon = GetIconForItem(minfo.wID); if (hIcon && !(minfo.fType & MFT_OWNERDRAW)) { AfxTrace(_T("replace for id=%#0x\n"), minfo.wID); minfo.fMask = MIIM_FTYPE | MIIM_BITMAP; minfo.hbmpItem = HBMMENU_CALLBACK; minfo.fType = MFT_STRING; ::SetMenuItemInfo(pMenu->GetSafeHmenu(), pos, TRUE, &minfo); } else AfxTrace(_T("keep for id=%#0x\n"), minfo.wID); // ::DestroyIcon(hIcon); // we use LR_SHARED instead } } We Have To Conert it into case WM_INITMENU:

your problem is too brief can u explain it little more... what type of programs you want to make in VC++6.
