I am using VC++ 6.0 to build a windows based application, however, my

When your app starts, validate the arguments in the argument list (called
argv typically)
If the arguments are OK, proceed with your app. If they aren't, print an
appropriate message to the console, with printf, fprints, or cout.

OTOH, if they start the application with an icon (and there isn't a DOS command
window) you have to reflect the error in a messagebox anyway so why not just do
it that way for both cases?

Use AllocConsole() to attach the stdin, stdout, stderr handles so that
printf(), fprintf(stderr, ...) etc. will show up for gui apps.

Hi,
I would like to start a new process and be able to read/write from/to
it. I have tried things like...
import subprocess as sp
p = sp.Popen("cmd.exe", stdout=sp.PIPE)
p.stdin.write("hostname\n")
however, it doesn't seem to work. I think the cmd.exe is catching it.

I know that there is a way to send output by using the

Hi,
I've written a program which has both a command line interface
and Windows form interface, however it isn't quite working
correctly.
When run from command line with no arguments it should display
the Windows form. The form is being displayed but the command
only returns when the form is closed. I want the command line to
return immediately, leaving the form displayed.

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.
