Hi,
I would like to know about DLL and performance gain/penalty in an
application. Let's say that I have a very big application and for
component portability and easy maintenance, we fragmented the
application in a numerous number of sub projects compiled as DLLs. So
those sub project are very easy to use between different applications.
Our application need high level of performance, does the loading of,
let's say, 100s of DLL in memory at startup could cause the application
to run slower during runtime?
How is managed the memory for the application and DLL? Does DLL still
co-exist or are merge together when they are all loaded in memory?
There is no much details about my project, I just want to know about the
overall influence of many DLL.
Is there detailed documentation about that subject? Does anybody had to
face that kind of interrogation and what was your final result about it?
Thank you very much,
Marty 2 1982

compared to having everything in 1 dll? no. The advantage of having
everything fragmented into several dlls is that the dll is only loaded
on the first time a type from that assembly is used. So if your code
uses 50% of the types in the first 5 minutes, you still only load
approx half of the assemblies (assuming all types are distributed
equally over all the dlls).
Loading an assembly has a performance hit of course, though 10 100KB
dlls aren't necessarily slower than 1 1000KB dll.
How is managed the memory for the application and DLL? Does DLL still co-exist or are merge together when they are all loaded in memory?
They aren't merged, they're mapped into the appDomain's memory space.

I have an SP that is big, huge, 700-800 lines.
I am not an expert but I need to figure out every possible way that
I can improve the performance speed of this SP.
In the next couple of weeks I will work on preparing SQL statements
that will create the tables, insert sample record and run the SP.
I would hope people will look at my SP and give me any hints on how
I can better write the SP.

Hi. I wanted to use exceptions to handle error conditions in my code.
I think doing that is useful, as it helps to separate "go" paths from
error paths. However, a coding guideline has been presented that says
"Use conventional error-handling techniques rather than exception
handling for straightforward local error processing in which a program
is easily able to deal with its own errors."
By "conventional error-handling," I believe...

Hi,
I want a few of my class to overload from a base class, where the
base class contains common functionality. This is to avoid repetition
of code, and may be reducing amount of code in binary, not to get
polymorphic behavior.
None of them has virtual methods, and are self contained (no
destructor at all) thus do not have a chance to have memory error.
Thus the derived classes has additional functionality, not additional
data.

Suppose I have a table called tblPeople and I want a field to illustrate
whether each person prefers cats or dogs. I could do it one of three ways.
1. A plain text field
Create a text field in tblPeople called PreferredPet.
2. A lookup field that stores text values.
Create a text field in tblPeople called PreferredPetID and use it to lookup
an identical text field in tblPreferredPets.

Hello,
I have a class hierarchy distributed over 3 native C++ dlls. The base class
has a .NET Windows.Form for status output via a gcroot<>.
The gcroot is declared private - the sub classes only have access via a

I need the different dlls as the sub classes implement the base class's pure
virtual methods using different technologies.
To use the native classes from outside their dlls I use the...

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not.
