How to include libraries in Visual Studio 2012?
To add libraries in Visual Studio 2012, there are two different methods. The first one is manual method. The second one is adding libraries from code.Let us see the manual method first.To add some library, we have to follow these five steps −Add the #include statements necessary files with proper declarations. For example −#include “library.h”Add the include directory for the compiler look up;Go to the Configuration Properties/VC++ Directories/Include DirectoriesThen click and edit, and add new entryAdd one library directory for *.lib files:Go to project (on top bar) -> properties -> Configuration Properties -> VC++ Directories -> Library Directories, then click ...
Read MoreHow do I terminate a thread in C++11?
Here we will see, how to terminate the threads in C++11. The C++11 does not have direct method to terminate the threads.The std::future can be used to the thread, and it should exit when value in future is available. If we want to send a signal to the thread, but does not send the actual value, we can pass void type object.To create one promise object, we have to follow this syntax −std::promise exitSignal;Now fetch the associated future object from this created promise object in main function −std::future futureObj = exitSignal.get_future();Now pass the main function while creating the thread, pass ...
Read MoreHow do I catch a Ctrl+C event in C++?
The CTRL + C is used to send an interrupt to the current executing task. In this program, we will see how to catch the CTRL + C event using C++.The CTRL + C is one signal in C or C++. So we can catch by signal catching technique. For this signal, the code is SIGINT (Signal for Interrupt). Here the signal is caught by signal() function. Then one callback address is passed to call function after getting the signal.Please see the program to get the better idea.Example#include #include #include #include using namespace std; // Define ...
Read MoreHow to determine whether C++ code has been compiled in 32 or 64 bit?
In C++, there is no direct way to check the environment architecture. There are two Macros for Windows systems, that can be used to check the architecture. These macros are _WIN64, and _WIN32. When the system is 64-bit, then the _WIN64 will be 1, otherwise the _WIN32 will be 1. So using macro checking, we can identify the architectureExample#include using namespace std; int main() { #ifdef _WIN64 cout
Read MoreWhat is the difference between a destructor and a free function in C++?
Here we will see what are the differences between destructor and the free() functions in C++. The destructor is used to perform some action, just before the object is destroyed. This action may not freeing up the memory, but can do some simple action such as displaying one message on screen.The free() function is used in C, in C++, we can do the same thing using delete keyword also. When the object is deleted using free() or delete, the destructor is invoked. The destructor function takes no argument and returns nothing. This function is called when free or delete is ...
Read MoreCompiling multiple .cpp files in c++ program
Here we will see how to compile multiple cpp file in C++ program. The task is very simple. We can provide the names as a list to the g++ compiler to compile them into one executable fileTo compile multiple files like abc.cpp, and xyz.cpp at once, the syntax will be like this −g++ abc.cpp xyz.cppTo run the program, we can use this −./a.outExamplefloat area(float r){ return (3.1415*r*r); //area of a circle } float area(float l, float w) { return (l * w); //area of a rectangle }Example#include #include "area.cpp" using namespace std; main() { cout
Read MoreReturning multiple values from a function using Tuple and Pair in C++
In C or C++, we cannot return more than one value from a function. To return multiple values, we have to provide output parameter with the function. Here we will see another approach to return multiple value from a function using tuple and pair STL in C++.The Tuple is an object capable to hold a collection of elements, where each element can be of different types.The pair can make a set of two values, which may be of different types. The pair is basically a special type of tuple, where only two values are allowed.Let us see one example, where ...
Read Morestatic keyword in C++ vs Java
In C++ or Java we can get the static keyword. They are mostly same, but there are some basic differences between these two languages. Let us see the differences between static in C++ and static in Java.The static data members are basically same in Java and C++. The static data members are the property of the class, and it is shared to all of the objects.Examplepublic class Test { static int ob_count = 0; Test() { ob_count++; } public static void main(String[] args) { Test object1 = new Test(); ...
Read MoreSimulating final class in C++
In Java or C#, we can use final classes. The final classes are special type of class. We cannot extend that class to create another class. In C++ there are no such direct way. Here we will see how to simulate the final class in C++.Here we will create one extra class called MakeFinalClass (its default constructor is private). This function is used to solve our purpose. The main Class MyClass can call the constructor of the MakeFinalClass as they are friend classes.One thing we have to notice, that the MakeFinalClass is also a virtual base class. We will make ...
Read MoreExtending namespace and Unnamed namespace
Here we will see how we can extend some namespace, and how the unnamed or anonymous name space can be used.Sometimes we can define one namespace. Then we can write the namespace again with the same definition. If the first one has some member, and second one has some other members, then the namespace is extended. We can use all of the members from that namespace.Example#include using namespace std; namespace my_namespace { int my_var = 10; } namespace my_namespace { //extending namespace int my_new_var = 40; } main() { cout
