Why does my c++ xll fail to open when it is linked to another dll?
I have a visual studio c++ solution containing two projects; an xll and a dll (called 'main'). The 'main' dll exports one simple function, like this #pragma once // Just for testing exporting from the dll #ifdef MAIN_EXPORTS #define PAMAIN_API __declspec(dllexport) #else #define PAMAIN_API __declspec(dllimport) #endi...
By saving the xll and dll in various locations, I established that the xll and dll are fine, but excel doesn't always know where to load the dll from, and when it doesn't it gives the "The file format and extension of xll.xll don't match" error.

Can't construct std::function with brace initialization
EDIT: I was being dumb. The functionMaker call is shockingly a function not a constructor, so the braces obviously don't work. So I have what is basically a factory function for producing a std::function from int to int, a quick minimal example is std::function<int(int)> functionMaker(int x) { return [x](int foo){r...
If you'd like functionMaker{} to work, then functionMaker needs to be a class/struct. Functions can only take arguments via (). However, it's relatively easy to make it a class: struct functionMaker { functionMaker(int x) : f([x](int foo){return foo*x; }) {} int operator()(int foo) { return f(foo); } s...

CMake force include statements to have form #include <mylib/header.h>
I'm currently working on a project with different libraries, where some of their files have similar/equal names or similar/equal names as STL files. This may lead to confusion at a later point in time. Therefore, even it's handy to include my custom library headers by just writing #include<file.h>, I'd like to refactor...
To complete comment from Tsyvarev, you need to modify your header location: [...] | |- include | | |- mylib | | | |- header1.h | | | |- header2.h On a side note, the line: # link directories link_directories(../mylib) is not needed. This function should be used when you need to link with a libra...

Why does clang-tidy's modernize-use-emplace miss this warning?

Short answer: This behavior is due to bug 56721 in clang-tidy. Long answer, based on my comment on that bug: The bug relates to how reference is declared in the container. That in turn causes clang-tidy to not realize that the return value of the accessor is an instance of a relevant container. The core of UseEmplaceC...

X-macro driven C++ template class instantiation
I am trying to instantiate a templatized class based on an X-macro. However, this is giving me syntax errors error: wrong number of template arguments (0, should be 1). What is the correct way to instantiate a templatized class from an x-macro? #include <string.h> #include <iostream> #define FOO \ X(, aaa) \ X(...
The issue here isn't that your syntax is wrong, but rather that both branches of the if and else get compiled regardless of whether a is empty or not. The compiler error will trigger because the else branch will try instantiating A<>, which isn't legal. To fix this, you could consider adding a level of indirection. Her...

How to use quaternions to store the rotation of a camera?
I'm trying to make a "6 degrees of freedom" camera like the ones used in space games. I would like to learn how to store camera rotation as a quaternion but I can't exactly find anything on the internet to help me (or maybe I don't know what keywords I should be using). What I want to do is use a glm::quat to store the...
I found the answer to my problem of "How to find the right, up and direction vectors for the glm::lookat function" All I need to do now is change the world up, right and direction vectors by the orientation of the quaternion like so: right = glm::normalize(orientation * glm::vec3(1, 0, 0)); up = glm::normalize(orientat...

Better runtime error in C++ for vectors and address boundary error
In Python, when we access an index out of the array range we get an error output that gives the exact location in the code that had this error: array = [] index = 0 array[index] IndexError Traceback (most recent call last) Untitled-1 in <cell line: 3>() 1 array = [] 2 index ...
only give us a generic Address boundary error No, it isn't even guaranteed to do that. Accessing out-of-bounds with [] causes undefined behavior in C++. If it happens you loose any guarantee on the program's behavior. It may fail with some kind of error, but it might also just continue running producing wrong output ...

BitBlt causes a glitch when called after EVENT_SYSTEM_FOREGROUND

EVENT_SYSTEM_FOREGROUND might notify from deep inside the foreground change code in the window manager and the new foreground window might still be waiting to paint by the time you BitBlt. Call RedrawWindow(.., RDW_UPDATENOW) or UpdateWindow first to make the window paint its invalid areas.

Round long double to unsigned long long in c++
Is there any built-in function in C++ to convert long double into unsigned long long? As per this answer, it looks like double is not sufficient to represent some unsigned long long values. Correct me if long double is also not enough. I also know that there's a function called, roundl that rounds a long double but...
TL;DR use std::llroundl, assuming the initial value is smaller than 2^64. If it is bigger, then it wouldn't fit anyway, so up to you to decide what to do with it. IEEE 754 floating point numbers can represent any integer up to a certain point. If you convert an integer to such a number, and then back to the same integr...

std::pair with reference to unique pointer
Currently using C++20, GCC 11.1.0 I'm trying to create a class method that returns a std::pair of uint32_t and a reference to a unique pointer. The unique pointer comes from a vector of unique pointers stored as a variable in the class. However, it keeps saying: error: could not convert ‘std::make_pair(_T1&&, _T2&&) [w...
std::make_pair() will automatically decay any references given to it to their value types.

This doesn't work properly because you're not initializing the list with enough elements. You're passing in one element, rand() % 10, but nums is a 3D array where each dimension has length 3, so you need to initialize it with 3×3×3 = 27 elements. Doing that with the inline initializer looks like this: int nums[a][a][a]...

How to use docker to test multiple compiler versions

Pass curried function result as parameter in C++
Background I'm trying to pass a std::function object as a parameter to evaluate the sum of its returned value over a range. However, for some reason, the function depends on a functor, Bar, whose state depends on a parameter, a. My approach was to create a lambda inside a curried function, foo and ask it to captur...
You are in UB world. Because bar is a local variable here which is captured by reference: function<double(const double &)> foo(const double &a) { auto bar = new Bar(a); function<double (const double &)> result = [&](const double &b) { cout << "address of bar: " << bar << endl; return (*bar)(b); ...

Recursively count number of triangles in Sierpinski triangle
I have this function that returns the number of triangles in a Sierpinski triangle based on the order. I need to calculate it by summing the amounts from the recursive calls. I'm not able to use static variables, modify the function parameters, or use global variables. I tried using int count but I know that won't nece...
Your current implementation of drawSierpinskiTriangle will only return 0 or 1: 0 if order == 0, or: 1 otherwise (because count is initialized to 0 and you use count++ once after all the recursive calls). Instead of using count++, you should accumulate the result from the recursive calls: count += drawSierpinskiTriangle...

Why can relaxed operation be reordered? Doesn't program order imply happens-before?

This is a common misunderstanding. It is true that load C happens before store D. That is not saying that C has to actually be executed, or become visible, before D. At the end of the day, the only relevance of the happens-before relation, or any other element of the memory model, is what it tells you about what your...

Is there any theoretical difference in performance in an inline constexpr function that compares an `int` & `int` VS a `const char* & `const char*`?
Is there any theoretical difference in performance in an inline constexpr function that compares an int & int VS a const char* & const char*, when optimization is enabled? Example 1 (int equals int) struct some_struct { int m_type; ... inline constexpr void somefunc() { if (m_type == 0) { ...
Constexpr functions are computed at compile-time only when required, I mean in constant expression. So in constant expression, there are no difference in performance at runtime (compilation time might differ). In non-constant expression, functions are computed at runtime as any regular functions (With as-if rule, optim...

Does the memory allocated by new, is automatically deallocated when the thread ends?

Memory obtained by new is shared among all threads. When a thread exits nothing happens with it. It is not freed. Either the exiting thread or another thread must call delete explicitly to destruct the object that was created with new and to free the memory it allocated for that object. Otherwise the object continues t...

In your implementation of destroy_at the identifier T used in p->~T(); is a type-name per [temp.param]/3. Therefore the call is allowed. Substitution is not relevant. So the premise that this rule hinders straight-forward implementation of destroy_at is wrong. p->~T(); is just fine. In fact the only reason pseudo-destr...

You call the constructor of the parent class String(s); but that in itself does not save the content s in str. Change it so something like this: Pstring::Pstring(char s[]) { // 1-argument constructor if (strlen(s) > SZ - 1) { ... } else { strcpy(str, s); } }

As far as I know, the bolded sentence is redundant. It may have been added out of an abundance of caution.

Why do MSVC and Clang produce different outputs for the same function template call?
After messing around with concepts I came across something in visual studio that I didn't understand, although I don't know if the issue here is anything to do with concepts specifically. I'm sure there's a reason for this behaviour, but it would be great if someone could explain. There are two parts to this question. ...
Clang is correct: the call to TPolicy::Create<type_a> requires the word template because TPolicy is a dependent type.

Your FindMatchingObject() function returns a Class object by value, thus returning a copy of the object. So, you are calling change() on a copy of second, not on second itself.

The keyword "public" means that if an object of the class is instantiated, then any function/field defined with that keyword in the class is callable/accessible through the object.

Except instead of calling the copy constructor given some T, you are given some argument list for which you call the corresponding constructor of T. Pseudo code: template <typename ......
Jarod commented that this should be implemented with a generator taking the index, and with c++20 templated lambdas we can do away with the helper function template <std::size_t N, typename Generator> auto make_array(Generator gen) { return [&]<std::size_t... I>(std::index_sequence<I...>) -> std::array<std::decay_t...

What does this C++ syntax( template<> struct __nv_tex_rmnf_ret<char> {typedef float type;}; ) statement mean?
In the CUDA header file, /usr/local/cuda/targets/x86_64/linux/include/texture_fetch_function.h, there is the following statements: template<typename T> struct __nv_tex_rmnf_ret{}; template<> struct __nv_tex_rmnf_ret<char> {typedef float type;}; I understand the first statement is the definition of struct template. But...
template<> introduces an explicit specialization of a previously declared (primary) template (here the first line). It has otherwise the same syntax as the primary template uses, except that the name in the declarator (here __nv_tex_rmnf_ret) is replaced by a template-id (here __nv_tex_rmnf_ret<char>) which should be v...

How to return a value from a function of type `LPCTSTR`?
What is the 'proper' way to return wintitle from the function? The way i did the compiler is pointing this warning: warning C4172: returning address of local variable or temporary: wintitle LPCTSTR WinGetTitle(HWND hWnd) { TCHAR wintitle[250]; GetWindowText(hWnd, wintitle, GetWindowTextLength(hWnd) + 1); re...
The compiler diagnostic is spot on: wintitle is an object with automatic storage duration. When the function returns, it's memory is automatically freed, leaving the returned pointer dangling. If you do wish (you probably don't) to return a pointer, you'll have to have it point into memory that outlives the function ca...

The reason for the error message is, that none of the overloads of std::unordered_map::insert takes a key and a value parameter.

How do I loop through a unordered_map in C++ without auto?
I am trying to loop through an unordered_map, to find if any of its VALUES is greater than 2.

It seems that you assumed(incorrectly) that mp[i] is std::pair<int, int> when in fact mp[i] gives you the mapped value which is of type int in your example. This can be seen from std::map::operator[]: T& operator[]( Key&& key ); (2) Returns a reference to the value that is mapped to a key equivalent to key, performin...

Short Version: I need to find a way allow a new VS solution to "override" a build macro used by existing C++ projects, but only for that solution, without affecting the value of that macro in older solutions with those projects. I can change the existing projects however I need. I can write any new projects (for the...
While property sheets macros are not conditional, property sheets themselves could be included conditionally. So you can create a solution-level property sheet with custom output directory and then modify all your projects to include this property sheet if it exists: <ImportGroup Label="PropertySheets"> <Import ...

Running a c++ executable using qt5
I have created a Qt5 application with Visual Studio (2019). When I compile and launch the application, everything goes well but if I try to launch it by hand, in other words by double clicking on the .exe file and not by clicking on 'Local Windows Debugger', I get errors like: error For the translation: "Unable to exec...
There are two possible solutions: First solution Use windeployqt to copy all the required dlls. But I don't like this solution. Second solution Use Cmake correctly to link the dlls you can do that by adding these lines to your CMakeLists.txt file: find_package(Qt5 COMPONENTS Widgets REQUIRED) # Add all used qt packages...

Compilation error C++ undefined reference
I'm a beginner and I'm currently feeling pretty lost about a compilation error that I'm getting since yesterday, so I was hoping someone could help me. I'm writing the following program: #include <iostream> #include <algorithm> void heapify(int); void print(int); const int MAX = 10; int main () { int arr[MAX] = {...
Look at the two declaration of heapify. The one before main: void heapify(int); The one after main (which is also a definition): void heapify(int arr[]) { ... It might not be totally obvious, but these two declarations declare two different functions, both named heapify but with different parameter types. One accepts...

%X format specifier prints value only up to 4 bytes?
Hex value of 6378624653 is : 0x17C32168D But this code prints : 0x7C32168D #include<iostream> int main() { int x = 6378624653; printf("0x%x", x); } can anyone explain why this happens ? and what should I do to get the right output?
The obtained result means that an object of the type int can not store such a big value as 6378624653. Try the following test program. #include <iostream> #include <limits> int main() { std::cout << std::numeric_limits<int>::max() << '\n'; std::cout << 6378624653 << '\n'; std::cout << std::numeric_limits<...

Slicing Eigen tensor: Error accessing matrices from tensors
I am new to tensor in Eigen and just trying to run simple examples here. This is the code I have it's to access the first matrix in a tensor. Let's say I have a tensor with size ((nz+1),ny,nx), where each matrix in this tensor should have the shape or size of (nz+1)-by-ny. The thing is I can only extract a matrix that ...
I was able to fix: std::array<long,3> offset = {0,0,0}; //Starting point std::array<long,3> extent = {(nz+1),nx,1}; //Finish point:(row,column,matrix) std::array<long,2> shape = {(nz+1),(nx)}; std::cout << epsilon.slice(offset, extent).reshape(shape) << std::endl;

C++ function doesn't return anything more than 15 characters
I have a C++ function that is supposed to repeat a string a certain amount of times. What I've seen is that when the resulting string is more than 15 characters long, the function does not return anything, but it works as expected when the string is less than 16 characters long. Here is the function: const char* repeat...
You are invoking UB (Undefined Behavior) by returning a pointer into a string (repeat) that is locally declared and therefore de-allocated when your function returns. I'd suggest that you have your function actually return the string object itself instead of const char*.

How to define namespace name same as return type of function in that namespace?
I have something like this in my header: namespace Utils { namespace Klass { Klass fromObject(Object object) { if (something) { return a; } else if (something2) { Klass b = Klass::initialise(); return b; // ... ...
for return class Klass(); you can simply write return {}; as long as Klass doesn't overload for initializer_list (or the semantic doesn't change) or you can (fully) qualify the name return ::whatever::ns::Klass(); generally, you can introduce alias for internal use namespace Utils { namespace Klass { ...

Partially specialized member function on template classes
I have some template classes and I need to implement a specialized member function for the main class. For example, if we have a template class Parent and other two template classes Boy and Girl. I want to implement a member function with specialization for Boy and for Girl. The member function for Girl has one more ar...
If you wanted to fully specialize the function then you could explicitly instantiate the function to create a specialization, but that won't work in this case since you can't partially specialize function templates. In this case, your best bet is probably to pull the non-specialized functionality out into a base class....

cppcheck: one definition rule is violated when overriding
In the following code (which is a minimal example based on a much more complex code), a base class defines a struct local to the class. A derived class overrides this definition, but uses also the definition in the base class. #include <iostream> struct base { struct update; void apply(int& x); }; struct base::u...
It is also a false positive. There is nothing wrong with declaring a nested class of the same name in the derived class. The two nested classes will be separate entities and each can have one definition per one-definition-rule.

Fast floating point model broken on next-generation intel compiler
Description I'm trying to switch over from using the classic intel compiler from the Intel OneAPI toolkit to the next-generation DPC/C++ compiler, but the default behaviour for handling floating point operations appears broken or different, in that comparison with infinity always evaluates to false in fast floating poi...
If you add -fp-speculation=safe to -fp-model=fast, you will still get the warning that you shouldn't use -fp-model=fast if you want to check for infinity, but the condition will evaluate correctly: godbolt. In the Intel Porting Guide for ICC Users to DPCPP or ICX it is stated that: FP Strictness: Nothing stricter than...

How do I set the parameter of a parents class's constructor in a child class?
In calling Parent's constructor from Child's constructor, how do I first instantiate a AnotherClass instance based on myString below, then pass in that AnotherClass instance to Parent's constructor? If that's not possible, what is a common pattern to achieve this in C++ ? class Parent { public Parent(AnotherClass my...
Easy solution: just do nothing. Compiler does it for you (as written in comments), as long as it's not an explicit ctor for AnotherClass: class Child : public Parent { public Child(std::string myString) : Parent(myString) {} }; You can even consider simply using the ctor of Parent (by simply writing using Parent::...

How to read the headers of a .txt files and put them as headers of a QTableView

The .txt file is composed of a first row which carries the headers, and all the other rows, which are data. I can successfully upload t...
Assuming you have your data in cvs file with ; separator instead of .txt The code will be like this: namespace constants { const QStringList HEADERS = { "tax_id", "Org_name", "GeneID", "CurrentID", "Status", "Symbol", "Aliases", "description", "other_designations", "map_location", "chromosome", "genomic_nuc...

How can I synchronize a child kernel inside a parent kernel safely without affecting the performance?
I have a parent kernel than calls a child kernel as shown below. How can I make sure that the child kernel completed all its threads' calculations before continuing in the parent's calculations? I know that I can't use cudaDeviceSynchronize(); inside parent kernel as it may result in problems. What can I do? __device__...
According to Robert Crovella's comment, it seems the best solution now is to refactor the code to avoid any unpredictable results like this: __global__ void child(double* A, double* B) { int r, c; r = blockIdx.x * blockDim.x + threadIdx.x; c = blockIdx.y * blockDim.y + threadIdx.y; B[7 * r + c] += A[c];...

ctor is ambiguous between single and multiple std::initializer_list ctors on clang and gcc but not msvc
I have a nested initializer_list ctor for creating 2D matrixes. Works great. But then I decided to add a simplified row vector matrix (n rows, 1 col) using a single initializer list. This is so I could create a row matrix like this: Matrix2D<int> x{1,2,3} instead of having to do this: Matrix2D<int> x{{1},{2},{3}}. Of c...
However, compiles w/o error Why are gcc and clang deductions ambiguous? Ambiguous arises here because {} or {1} can also initialize a single int. Is there a workaround? Template your specialized constructor such that {} is never deduced to initializer_list which still works for {1,2,3}. #ifdef INCLUDE_EXTRA_CTOR ...

Streaming into `char` array with `ostream` - how to get characters written count?
This answer shows how to write to an array with stringstream, but can we obtain the total number of characters written? Surely the stringstream has some information to know where to put the next character, but I don't know how to access it. The OP of the linked question even asks this in a comment but I wanted a separa...
The std::ostrstream class itself is deprecated. Use std::ostringstream instead, which has a tellp() method. #include <sstream> int main() { char buf[1024]; std::ostringstream stream; stream.rdbuf()->pubsetbuf(buf, sizeof(buf)); auto start = stream.tellp(); stream << "Hello " << "World " << std::e...
