Hi, Yes, check out the Debug Interface Access SDK[^]. Best Wishes, -David Delaune

Maybe you should look on Microsoft's Windows 8 web pages.

In terms of application performance (rather than just statement performance.) If you have not measured the application using appropriate data then your first step would be to do that. If you have measured and found that this specific method containing this statement is the problem then finding a different algorithmic approach would have much more impact. The goal of course in that case is not to find a faster way to do the comparison but instead to find a way so no comparison at all is needed.

Maybe the article's forum could be put on a separate tab? it could solve the load, it may make it more difficult to understand the messages as now the article is nowhere to be seen at the same time. :) Luc Pattyn [Forum Guidelines] [Why QA sucks] [My Articles] Nil Volentibus Arduum Please use <PRE> tags for code snippets, they preserve indentation, and improve readability.

I often use that expression except... I'm in Singapore and it gets some rather odd looks sometimes. I once called a guy as 'tight as a bulls arse in fly time' and spent the next 20 minutes explaining. He did buy the next round though.

It seems to be related to IIS being installed, and so many people have not tried to use them, at least as my Google search revealed. I did not find anything claiming to know how to use them, only where they came from - IIS - and that they are largely undocumented. I was searching for a reader/writer lock that was C/C++ and fairly performant - hoped one was at some point part of the SDK - that is how I stumbled upon it in the MSDN.

#define IsBadReadPtr(x) ((x) == NULL) #define IsBadWritePtr(x) ((x) == NULL) These functions are that bad. An immediate null pointer check is about as good as it's going to get. DoEvents: Generating unexpected recursion since 1991

Well I've been confused all this time. I thought it was Maunder's picture on the bag! Mark Salsbery Microsoft MVP - Visual C++ :java:

I'd side step the whole issue and use a string class such as std::string or CString. Steve

Yes, Now I can see it. Is it is definitely a bug(Now we should say 'was', as VC 6 is no longer supported). I wonder,How it goes unnoticed for such length of time. May be, nobody is supposed to see implementation. Prasad Notifier using ATL | Operator new[],delete[][^]

And any sufficiently advanced programmer is case sensitive, too. But think about the upcoming cadre of technology workers. What sort of programs and/or languages will the 1337 generation write? KwikiVac Vacuum Cleaner Supplies

In debug builds, local variables are initialized to CC, so the pointer will point to 0xCCCCCCCC and the app will crash when it tries to write to that address. In release builds, there's no predicting what value it'll get since it will pick up whatever data was at that point on the stack. --Mike-- Visual C++ MVP :cool: LINKS~!
