VC++ debugger
If you want the reference manuals for assembly, Intel, for example, lets you download the IA-32 Intel Architecture Software Developer's Manual. You would want Volume 2: Instruction Set Reference. Now, I heartly approve of anyone wanting to learn the assembly language for their...- jgartee

Adding blanks to a string
what about something like: fstream f_in; f_in.open(argv[1], ios::in); fstream f_out; f_out.open(argv[2], ios::out); int i = atoi(argv[3]); char line; string strLine; while (f_in.getline(line, sizeof(line))) { strLine.assign(line,f_in.gcount()); if( f_in.gcount() < i )...- jgartee

Be aware when iterators are invalidated, though. The advantage is that the STL is platform independent and quite...- jgartee

Doubly Linked List class - InsertAfter method
May I make a suggestion? Take a look at the STL as an alternative to building these sort of routines on your own. I've found it a wonderful tool to avoid much of the mundane grunt work I used to have to do...it's been a real timesaver. -
InterProcess Communication
I have found named pipes to be very useful in this circumstance. I confess I've done far more C++ than Vb code, however. Using a blocked-read thread on each end of the pipe is a very simple model which allows you to hang on a read until data arrives or the pipe goes away. You then simple... -
WINDOWS EVENTLOG
There is a good example in MSDN under the title "Creating a Simple Win32 Service in C++" that uses Event Logging. Perhaps the most time consuming thing for me was getting the process straight to create a MESSAGETABLE entry for the resources and integrating it into my system. While...
