That's what I am looking for. Can you share it?

Also I'll pay someone $100 cash and give them a $200

investment in my company if they help me find someone

to work with. The company rewards investments to 3

times their original amount. So you would receive

anywhere from $0 to $600 on the investment part,

depending on how things go for the company. I'll pay

the $100 cash after working with whomever it is for 4

months.

Shift elements of an array

Hi all,



I have an array containing 15 elements. I want to shift the elements to the right and store the new array in another array, and keep the original array as is. Does anyone have any suggestions regarding this?



Thanks in advance

search name of the function at runtime

Newsgroup: comp.lang.c++

Subject: search name of the function at runtime

From: foice <franceschini.roberto@...>

Date: Thu, 3 Oct 2013 07:09:20 -0700 (PDT)



Hello,

I have a large .h file where many functions are defined. These functions are what the user calls at runtime to execute specific operations with my code. It's kind of tedious to remember the names of these functions and often even I have to go back to the source code to remember the exact name that I gave to these functions.



So, I was wondering that I can write a function that lists all the functions defined in a given .h file, maybe even filtering according to some regular expression.

The "search" must be doable at runtime without reading the source, if possible.



Thanks for helping,

Roberto

A Better Choice?

I have the following data declaration that is causing compiler

warnings:



char DBI[60001] = {'\0'} ;



The purpose of this data is to store a character value ('a'..'I') for

each corresponding record that has been read from a database. The

records are identified by a value that ranges from 1-60000. I can't use

a bitset here, as I need to store the character value associated with

each record. I don't want to be limited by the current supported range

(1...60000).

I'm looking for a better (STL container?) technique that might serve

my purpose but also avoid the fixed size constant declaration which is

causing compiler warnings. Also, I'm not especially concerned with

performance in this functionality. Any thoughts? TIA

why does this work with Visual C++ 2005?

From: Lynn McGuire <lmc@...>

Why does this work with Visual C++ 2005?



char buffer [10000];

void * test5 = & buffer;



I would think the compiler would give an error

on "& buffer", because "buffer" is the memory

address of the first element in the array, and

you can't get a memory address of a memory

address, there is no such thing. Note that

test5 and buffer do point to the same memory

address in the VC++ debugger after execution of

that line of code.



We do get a compiler error on:



char * test3 = & buffer;



And the following code compiles correctly:



char * test4 = & buffer [0];



The only thing i can think is the compiler

treats "& buffer" as "& buffer [0]" in the

void * case, assuming that is what the

programmer wanted.



Thanks,

Lynn

Hi everyone,



I am aware my question is heavily off-topic, but I just can not get it out of my mind:



What is that thing on the front cover of the C++ Primer (by Lippman et al.) ?

Animal bones?



I Hope somebody can tell.

Warm Regards and thanks in advance,

m.
