_TCHAR* strGroupName = NULL; const _TCHAR* strTempName = NULL; //Assign some value to strTempName strGroupName = _tcschr(strTempName, 92) //C2440 I get an error at the above line while compiling this code in VS2008. In VC6 it compiles fine. Error C2440: '=' : cannot convert from 'const wchar_t *' to '_TCHAR *' What seems to be the problem and how do I fix it? Try casting it as strGroupName = (_TCHAR*)_tcschr(strTempName, 92); Seems to me that VS2008 got a little more strict on type casts, and won't automatically do them in some cases. strGroupName = const_cast<_TCHAR*>( _tcschr(strTempName, 92

I am porting a linux application to the iphone and I would like to know how much re-writing I have to do to make it a multi-threaded application rather than a multi-process application. Also, if I simply replace the forked code with a call to the functions on another thread I get exec_bad_address at seemingly random places in my flow of execution... Does anyone know why this may be the case? Thanks! It is exactly the same effort you would undergo in transitioning your application to a multi-threaded one on a unix platform. Simply replacing the forking code with calls to pthread_create() is -

I am looking for a solution to create a single multidimensional associate array in javascript. What I have: I have a mysql database I am accessing with php and have an array containing all fields (key,value pairs) in a single record. Their are upwards of 30 fields in each record so I am looking for a dynamic solution. In the html coding, there is a form that is used to update a specific record in the table. I am using a function call on each input to fill a javascript array by key and value. The keys are identical to the keys in the php array. In the function I am doing a json_encode call on

I have a program that does some networking using Winsock, and one of our requirements right now is to port over our program to Linux. The only thing stopping us from doing this is Winsock. My question is: How easy can I port this over to a Linux implementation? Are there any pitfalls I should be aware of, and if I simply include the appropriate header files, what sort of things will I have to be sure to handle? Thanks for any help! I'd post code but I can't unfortunately due to legal reasons. But, our code does use the following: WSAStartup(..) WSACleanup(..) Socket(..) sendto(..) recvfrom(..)

I have started to build my own apps on iPhone and iPad using the iPhone SDK. The next question that is always asked by the client is, "Can we have it on Android?" So my question to you, 'the internet', is: what are my options? I don't have the time to learn another language (learning iOS has been enough!), so are there companies who specialize in this, or are there any online services that do a conversion? Any help on this welcome, just need to know which way to turn... No , there is no way to convert an existing iOS app to an Android app. However, there are cross-platform frameworks that

If a particular piece of software is made to be run on one platform and the programmer/company/whatever wants to port it to the other, what exactly is done? I mean, do they just rewrite linux or windows-specific references to the equivalent in the other? Or is an entire rewrite necessary? Just trying to understand what makes it so cost-prohibitive that so many major vendors don't port their software to Linux (specifically thinking about Adobe) Thanks this is the point of a cross-platform toolkit like qt or gtk, they provide a platform-agnostic API, which delegates to whichever platform the
