I've written a perl cgi script but it's too slow so I need
to rewrite it in C++. The perl script passes parameters to
a search engine on our local filesystem and processes the
results (number of hits, etc.). I've never had to do anything
like this in C++ before and I don't know where to start.
So what is the equivalent in C++ to something like this?
open (RESULTS, "srch -q $word |");
Which is the perl method of opening a handle on the output
of a pipe. I imagine I'd like to use system() but there doesn't
seem to be a way to capture the output of the call. Reading
through similar messages in this group I get the impression
this really can't be done. It seems like I need to pass the
search results to the program through the operating system
(the results are VERY large), i.e., through STDIN. This would
be less convenient since I'd like to package everything up
in one program.
Is this true? Is there not a way to do this?

This is pretty platform-specific. Let me just suggest you download my
STLFilt package for MSVC (link down in my sig), and examine the source code
file CL.CPP. In it, Thomas Becker crafted some code to do piping between
Win32 processes (one of which just happens to be a Perl interpreter,
actually...). This may give you a leg-up.
Good luck,

There is no -standard- way of doing this. However, you can use popen
which exists in many systems (_popen in win32). If you're using a
Linux/Unix system then you can implement it as a pipe/fork call and not
use the C stdio at all.

There isn't one. You are into the platform-specific realm now. If on a
UNIX type system, the popen() function may be what you need. Questions
about that should be addressed to comp.unix.progr ammer. Otherwise, find
a newsgroup dedicated to your platform and ask there.

That's correct.

FxCop complains every time I catch System.Exception.
I don't see the value in trying to catch every possible exception type
(or even figuring out what exceptions can be caught) by a given block
of code, when System.Exception seems to get the job done for me.
My application is an ASP.Net intranet site. When I catch an exception,
I log the stack trace and deal with it, normally by displaying an error

I have a custom control which has a child control (PlaceHolder)
The placeholder will have any number of child controls added to it.
I would like to catch the rendered content of the placeholder child control
prior to it being sent to the browser and wrap all the HTML content in
document.write('') JS statements.
I'm kind of lost on how to capture the raw HTML content. (for starters :)
Any suggestions

really don't have programs complex enough to do a lot of specific catching at
this point - I just want to know:

Is it possible to use some C or compiler extension to catch
integer overflow?
The situation is as follows:
I use C as target language for compiled Seed7 programs.
For integer computions the C type 'long' is used.
That way native C speed can be reached.
Now I want to experiment with raising a Seed7 exception

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.
