1) I’m using Borland C++ Builder 1.0 (a very old (but still good) version).
2) I have an application EXE calling a DLL.
3) A function in the DLL receives a parameter defined as "ostream &" ,
and writes error messages to this stream using the “<<” operator.
4) The EXE file creates an ostrstream variable and passes this to the
DLL function.
5) After the DLL function has finished, the EXE writes some text to an
output file, followed by the ostrstream which has been “filled” by the
DLL function.
6) There is erratic extraneous characters in the final output string,
which appear to come from some corruption of the output from the DLL
process.
7) Both application and DLL are using memshare.hpp and linked with bcbmm.lib
DLL:
unsigned int process(LPCSTR x, ostream & Messages)
{ ….
errorcode = 44;
Messages << “error code ” << errorcode << endl;
……
return errorcode;
}
EXE:
ostrstream MessageBuffer;
// call the DLL process
if (process(“some data here”, MessageBuffer) != 0)
{debugfile << “*error in process*: “<<MessageBuffe r.str()
<< endl;
….}
Result:
*error in process*: error code 44 then-a-selection-of-rubbish-characters
If I pass an ofstream (file) to the DLL process (instead of an
ostrstream) the error code is written directly to the output file with
no extraneous characters.
If I use a specific buffer to initialize the ostrstream, all is OK,
there are no extra characters
e.g. char space[2000];
memset(space, 0x00, sizeof(space));
ostrstream MessageBuffer(s pace, sizeof(space));
I have also tried creating a temporary output file in the EXE, passing
this to the DLL process, then closing it, re-opening it and reading it
back in with getline() and dumping it back out to the desired output
file – this also works OK with no extraneous characters.
The junk text at the end only appears when I create a default ostrstream
and pass this to the DLL process. It seems the junk comes from the
remainder of the internal string buffer used by the ostrstream.
Any ideas why, or how to prevent it? 1 2380 This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics |

Hi. I want to get a C++ IDE, but I dont know whether to go for Bill Gate's
solution or Borland's. Could any kind folks detail the relative strength
and weaknesses of both, and also tell me which you yourselves prefer.
Thanks in advance.

I am just beginning programming again and need a bit of advice.
I have both Visual C++ 6.0 Standard Edition and Borland C++ Builder 6.
Of these two which do you consider the best for programming windows programs
(not the DOS style program). I have had a quick look at both of these and
Borland seems to have a lot more components (Buttons, Forms etc) than
Microsoft Visual C++. Does Visual C++ have these components easily
accesable.

Hi All,
I'm new of this group and I do not know if this is the correct group
for my question.
I have a DLL with its export library (.lib) wrote in Borland C++ 6. In
borland everything is OK and I am able to include the lib and use the
class that i have exported creating an instance with new etc... I
would like to export this class in microsoft VC++ using the same .lib
file. Obviously it doesn' t work.

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.
