A friend of me, is working on a mod for a tournament where I am a co admin off... The problem is...
My friend uses Windows. Are there any Windows programs that can ccompile .so's to use on a linux
server / box? Thanks for any reply's...

I am currently learning C++ and QT, I'm just wondering how many of your guys develop for windows
specifically for do you target mac and linux too, or are you developing games? Most important is
the uptake of the .Net framework, just how many people are developing for it, is it really as big /
important as everyone on the net suggests? Would love to hear everyones views!...

Unlike DOS, which works under Real mode of processor, Windows works under protected mode of the
processor. In protected mode the registers are 32-bit long and are often known as extended registers
For example, corresponding to the AX, BX, CX, DX, IP registers of real mode, there exist 32-bit
registers called EAX, EBX, ECX, EDX and EIP under protected Also under protected mode interrupt
handling is a little different. The interrupt vector table is no longer kept at a low address space.
Instead it is replaced by another table Interrupt Descriptor Table (IDT) which is kept...

Hello everyone, i am making a project on the operating system, i am making a basic Operating
system in C and assembly, so i have written 2 basic things boot loader and kernel Now i have a

directory, and dir commands, but i do not know the logic for those programs, please help me, and i
also want to add a text editor and a snake game, it there a command in c that makes us to run an ex...

I'm making a program which uses several windows. I thought I'd reduce the amount of coding
in my program by making a function which does everything that is needed to open a window, since all
of the windows I need are basically the same. In fact, the only way they really differ is that they
all use different message procedures. The code below, therefore, accepts a window class which
already has a value in the .lpszClassName variable and the .lpfnWndProc variable. The rest of the
window class in then filled with default values, the class in registered, a window i...

Is there a way to access the contents of the physical memory from an application .
please give details about the corresponding functions and libraries or apis to be used. I need
this for my personal project....

I'm thinking about making a Windows Service in C++. I found some sample code, and it all makes
sense, except I'm wondering if it's possible to detect whether my exe is running as a
Service. I'd like to have it perform this check when the app starts. Then if it is running as a
Service, it'll go ahead and call StartServiceCtrlDispatcher(), otherwise some other action can
be performed. ...

Hopefully I can explain my problem clearly. If not, please ask any questions to clarify. I'm
looking at an issue where I'd need to make reference counted smart pointers multi-thread safe on
a UNIX platform via mutexes. Object-embedded mutexes are not an option because of the memory
footprint increase. Therefore, it was decided we use a static mutex that locks the entire class out
from the reference count (i.e., only one smart pointer on the entire system at a time can do a
reference count operation). BTW, these design decisions aren't mine to make. The issu...

Does anyone know a way to patch C++ code with a .patch file? I have Visual C++ 6.0, the .patch file
