Address Logger?

[zeco]

Well I didn't know so I figured I'd just got over everything .... actually that took a long time.

Anyway the return sort of acts like a break statement. Since a function can only return once the first return that executes ends the code.


And yeh I lot of people put the * on the type, but its a little misleading because C++ doesn't recognize the type as pointers only specific variables. Say if you wanted to declare multiple pointer variables at once:

int* a, b, c;  // This would not work.

int *a, *b, *c;   // This would.

Some people who do this are just trying to make a point that Microsoft should change C++ to make an entirely new pointer type. :L

Sorry for wasting your hard work >_<.
But yeah i do it like

int* a, * b, * c;
*b = 3
*c = 34

Because to me putting the * beside int while making the variables is to remind me that when initializing

int* a = address

That at this state a is the address, and not the pointed to value. Otherwise i might confuse my self and think, hey there is an * beside the variable, that means the value pointed by, thus im gonna put what i want the pointed to value to be.

Lol. np

Dude, i have 2 separate(chrome, and Firefox) browsers with 30 tabs each. I get forgetful sometimes.

BTW: have you ever heard of bookmarks o_O? wow 30 tabs each xD that's ridiculous.

dude i get confused when i open up more than 5 tabs lol

[zeco]

I do use bookmarks >_> It's just a lot of my tabs are google searches that i think of at the moment, and say to myself i'll look at it later, i usually remember, but sometimes i forget.
And the other tabs are devoted to thinks i check on a daily basis, like one manga, and mpgh.

edit: Haha i was wrong, i only have 20 tabs on one, and 33 on the other.

Nice writeup , however.... sample a does work.
Also c++ does support specific pointer types (like void pointers etc)

typedef struct MyBUFFER
{
    void* pBuffer;
    unsigned long ulSize;
} MyBUFFER, *PMyBUFFER;

void DoSomething()
{
    ..do something interesting
    MyBuffer* pBuff2;
    PMyBuffer pBuff; //Basically the same things as writing:  MyBuffer* pBuff2;
    //*pBuff would be the same as **pBuff2
    ..do some other stuff
}

But that's a slight detail Put the */& where ever makes most sense for you and don't over complicate things so that months from now if you need to work on the code you still remember what the heck you did.

[why06]

Wow. Im confused.
right here:

 MyBUFFER, *PMyBUFFER;

did you just declare a pointer variable PMyBUFFER ?
what's with the comma?

So far I'm just getting into typedef in my book and I don't know why it exists. unless if you just feel the need to name something something else o_O?

BTW: if im right then this would declare PMyBUFFER too:

struct, PMyBUFFER;

right?


On second thought Im just gonna shut-up xD. I don't even know what a void pointer is. I've never used void in a type only in functions. Guess I'll get to it eventually. :P

[zeco]

You are also confusing me, but i think a little less then Why06. The *PMyBUFFER; , means a pointer to the type you just created, MyBuffer, correct? What confuses me, is how a pointer to a custom type would work, guess i can just try it out and see what happens

Wait isn't PMyBuffer supposed to be a variable of the struct MyBuffer? How are you using the variable like it is a type, and creating more variables with it 0.0? Sorry that i know so little.

Wait ignore that last paragraph, forgot the typedef. To be honest i'm not that steady with understanding of typedef but i think i understand that part. Really just the pointer to a custom type that i don't understand....

Mybuffer* pbuff = new Mybuffer;

Ok, nevermind just completely ignore me, Please and thank you.

ur welcome, and as i said, i dont get a thing said in this thread, i just copy pasted the whole thing

Yeah i can be really confused/confusing sometimes, But i think i get it all now. By the way, what is the point of structs? Haven't classes basically superseded them? To my knowledge the only difference between a struct and a class, is the default access specifier (class is private, struct is public.)

Classes rule! Except in school.

Here's your Punchline

Here's your Punchline

That's the most paradoxical statement I've ever heard. No lie o_O

0.0 Haha I suppose you're right. I think i'm gonna put it in my sig xD. But it's true >_<. If school takes over my life i'm gonna lose all my knowledge. Well of things that matter anyway.

print all ur source codes, and review them on weekends, lol

Lol. In a weird way I suppose your right. I'm finding it harder to find times to study C++, cuz I've gotta pass classes too. But it's like the classes I'm taking are not important... :P

print all ur source codes, and review them on weekends, lol

That sounds like a lame way to spend a weekend... :L
