Hi gurus,
I have two files compiled together. One file has the following global
definition:
char s[] = "asdf";
Another file has the following declaration:
extern char *s;
Is there anything wrong here? I know that although char* s and char s[] are
not exactly the same, and in most case, they are interchangable. However,
when I use them in separate files, there are problems:
When I assign the value of s to another char * type local variable like
char *p = s;
Instead of the pointer s itself being assigned to the p, the value pointed
by s is assgined to p. That's certainly not my intention. I know roughly to
say, that's because the different view from the two source files, but how is
the detail? Has anybody here ever experienced similar problems? btw, I am
using Visual C++. Could it be a bug of VC++?

Not exactly the same means different. The first is an array, the second is a
pointer. Do this
extern char s[]; // s is an array
When I assign the value of s to another char * type local variable like
char *p = s;
Instead of the pointer s itself
s is not a pointer.
being assigned to the p, the value pointed
by s is assgined to p.
That doesn't make sense. The value 'pointed' to by s is a char, how can a
char be assigned to a pointer?
That's certainly not my intention. I know roughly to
say, that's because the different view from the two source files, but how
is the detail?
There is no detail, your code is wrong so you get incorrect behaviour.
Has anybody here ever experienced similar problems? btw, I am
using Visual C++. Could it be a bug of VC++?
No, your code is wrong. Fix the code like I explained and if you are still
having problems post the corrected code.

Hello,
I was enjoying working in VS for half a year without any problems and
now I cannot debug anymore. Without any really reason my Studio tells me
that the page that I want to debug has - No symbols loaded. I use VS
v1.7.3088 and .NET framework v1.1.4322 SP1.
I work with ASP.NET using VB and I'm trying to set a breakpoint on the
ascx.vb file.

A few months ago I posted a question about using a file on my hard

my company's intranet. I eventually got this working using an HTA file

Now I'm tackling a similar issue, but really need to keep the IE menus,
navigation buttons, etc. this time around. Assuming a solution exists,
I'm guessing it involves using the IE6 SP2 "Mark of the Web"...

Hi folks,
I am issuing the net use command on a couple of Win2003 servers. Some of these servers require that the name and password be authenticated twice and other servers just once, i.e.:

The password or user name is invalid for \\pcp-web01\s.

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. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
