Hi,
In VC8 project, I am having a struct which is having a char* variable.
Now I am creating a 3 elements array object for the struct. I send the base
address of the object using VARIANT to a function where I am casting to
struct again using reinterpret_cas t.
Then If I am trying to traverse the array object from the index 0 to 2, it
is working fine, If I am going for the index 3rd element, that char* variable
addres is having some junk address, so some where it is crashing. That char*
variable address should be NULL pointer or Bad Pointer.
But sometimes if I am going to the index 4th element, char* variable address
is NULL. It is not consistant.
What can we do for that? I can't even initialize the char* variable in that
struct to NULL(0) in VC8.
Thanks,
Vinod.

Vinod:
A "3 elements array object" can only be indexed from 0 to 2. Index 3 is
off the end of the array, so anything in it is garbage. And if you write
to it, you will trash your memory.
To initaialize a char* member variable (or any other variable) of a
struct, use the constructor or initializer list, just as for a class.

Hello,
Consider the following program. There are two C style string stack variables
and one C style string heap variable. The compiler may or may not optimize
the space taken up by the two stack variables by placing them at the same
address (my g++ compiler does this). Therefore the output of the given
C program is compiler dependent. What is worse, the program does not
do what its writer most likely intended, since, std::set's find()...

Hello all,
From doing a google serach in the newsgroups I found out that a
string can't be returned from a function, but using a char* I should
be able to do it. I have spent most of the day trying to get this to
work, but been unable to solve my mistake. What the function should
return is a file name used for creating logs files. It will look
something like
JN122345.log

I have following structure in c++.
typedef struct MMF_result_struct
{
int action;
char text;
int cols,rows;
int month,day,year;
} MMF_result;
Now this structure is shared between C++ and C# using memory mapped file. We already have C++ code for handling memory mapped file. I am working on converting code for memory mapped file in C#. Now I have to pass pointer to the above structure. I converted this structure to C# as follows:

I am wondering why it is possible to return a pointer to a string literal
(ie. 1) but not an array that has been explicitly allocated. (ie. 2) ?
Both would be allocated on the stack, why does the first one not cause a
compiler warning?
#include <stdio.h>
char * funca() {
char *a = "blah"; //1 - ok
// char a = "blah"; //2 - not ok

I have a struct constructor to initialize all of my private (or public
readonly) fields. There still exists the default constructor that sets
them all to zero. Is there a way to remove the creation of this
implicit default constructor, to force the creation of a struct via my
constructor only?

Hi Willy,
Thank you very much for your work.
C++ code doesnot make any serialization.
So at runtime C# code gives an serialization error at
"msg_file_s sa = (msg_file_s) bf.Deserialize(ms);"
I thought that it is very hard to memory map structure array.
I need both read and write memory mapped file at both side of C# and C++.
