Recursive Function

Hi, all

We are using Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 Service Pack 6. We need to develop a
recursive function to search files in fix drives of user machine. Is there
one API that implement recursity in it? Will we need to develop recursive
function using FindFirstFile and FindNextFile?

Thanks in advance.

Not that I'm aware of.

function using FindFirstFile and FindNextFile?


I believe so.

A desktop search software is available fom Microsoft, Google and maybe other
vendors. It might expose some API that you can use.
Before rolling your own, it's definitely worth to check out.

OK: Purpose: Using user's input and 3 recursive functions, construct an hour glass figure. Main can only have user input, loops and function calls.

Hello, I've got a situation in which the number of (valid) recursive calls I make will cause stack overflow. I can use getrlimit (and setrlimit) to test (and set) my current stack size. However, it is not as straightforward to determine the base address for my stack space. The approach I have taken is to save the address of an automatic variable in main( ), and assume this is a fairly good indicator of my base address. Then, I can...

Hello, I call a function recursively to find an item that exists *anywhere* down the chain. Let's say I find it five layers deep. Now I've got what I need and want to break out of that whole stack and continue execution at the point of the initial call. Is that possible? Thanks, Bill

Inside a function, I'd like to know the call stack. By this I mean that I'd like to know the function that called this one, that one's caller and so on. So I thought to do: <script type='text/javascript'> function myFunc(lev) { // if (lev) return myFunc(lev-1); var aStack=; nextFunc = arguments.callee;

Hi, I encountered garbage collection behaviour that I didn't expect when using a recursive function inside another function: the definition of the inner function seems to contain a circular reference, which means it is only collected by the mark-and-sweep collector, not by reference counting. Here is some code that demonstrates it: === def outer():

Hi all, Sometimes I need to pass same parameter in recursive function. From my point of view, the style is redundant, and I don't what to use some global style like self.A, self.B, Is there any other choice? For example, def func(self, x, y, A, B, C): #x, y change in recursive call

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Overview: 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,...
