On Windows 98 you could set (in Properties of DOS-window/command shell) whether the DOS-program continues to run or pauses when the DOS-window is not active. I haven't found this option in the XP DOS-Window. Maybe It's still there somewhere. Workaround (maybe): Keep the DOS-window active. :confused: :~

Kevin McFarlane wrote: Actually it does handle '\t', as I've only specified a default argument. Well, you require the user to define the white spaces for you? This is, at least, not user friendly (answer quickly, which chars are white space? Is '\n' a white space, is '\a'?). Hint: isspace. Agreed, but still seems to work anyway. An questionable answer for a professional software developer. OK, how about this? if (st1 != string::npos) { st2 = s.find_last_not_of(t) + 1; s = s.substr(st1, st2 - st1); } substr() produces a (partial) copy which is assigned (= copied again) to s. You can do it all in place.

Before you install this update, we recommend that you:
- Back up your system

• Close all open programs

Kevin McFarlane wrote: Try Don't! inline string trim_right(const string& source, const string& t = " "){ string str = source; return str.erase(source.find_last_not_of(t) + 1);} 1. You search only for " ", not for white space (e.g. '\t') 2. find_last_not_of() returns npos when no match is found (which is not an appropriate input for erase) 3. You return by value thus duplicating the string unnecessarily. In sum, your 'solution' is incorrect and inefficient, but fine otherwise. :suss:

berndg wrote: Since it is your process that actually creates those threads, wouldn't you be the best person to know whether or how many threads are in use? It seems a bit hard expecting Microsoft to predict your source code. I want to compile the whole program (my own code + MS code) either in 'single-threaded' or 'multi-threaded' mode. Depending on the threading-mode I want to call different functions. This should be done with macros (what else). To make it work I need a #define similar to

#define _POSIX_THREADS

Yes, I can #define my own macro, but that's not the point. What am I missing? ;)

ThinkingPrometheus wrote: first i have to say i need to solve this problem using linux, but i think it's a more c++ related question than linux ... the point is, i don't know how (or if this is possible) instantiate a object where the only knowledge of which object type to use is my configuration string It's not a C++ related question. You need to use C# or Java (Class.forName(..)) to do that. :laugh:

I know the compiler options for a multi-threaded program in VC++. Is there also a preprocessor #define that indicates multi-threading? So that I can do e.g. something like

#ifdef _MULTI_THREAD

define doSomething(x) doSomethingMulti(x)

#else

define doSomething(x) doSomethingSingle(x)

#endif
