#define variable arguments

Since #define does not take variable arguments you have to work around using function pointers. void __format_out(const char* fmt, ...); typedef void (*ptr2Fn) (const char* fmt, ...) ; ptr2Fn _storeLine(int nSeverity,int lineNumber,char* fileName); #define CTRACE _storeLine(40,__LINE__,__FILE__) ----------------------- ptr2Fn _storeLine(int nPSeverity,int nPlineNumber,char* szPfileName) { nSeverity = nPSeverity; nlineNumber=nPlineNumber; szfileName = (char*)szPfileName; return __format_out; } ----------------------- inline void __format_out(const char * fmt, ...) { CString ___str; va_list marker; va_start(marker, fmt); USES_CONVERSION; ___str.FormatV(A2T(fmt), marker); va_end(marker); } TRACE("nUMBER IS %d",223);

VBA xode snippet for iterating through colums

wcstok,strtok memory corruption

CString mystring("ob_jw_ay"); CString anotherstring ; anotherstring =mystring;//memory corruption!!! TCHAR* string = (TCHAR*)(LPCTSTR)mystring; TCHAR seps[] = "_"; TCHAR* token; token = strtok( string, seps ); while( token != NULL ) token = strtok( NULL, seps ); //Now both strings will be changed.Because both CString::m_pchData are pointing to the same memory and strok/wcstok changes it. If you want 'anotherstring' to remain unchanged do anotherstring + =mystring;

type safety importance link

From - http://www.securingjava.com/chapter-two/chapter-two-10.html Why Type Safety Matters Type safety is the most essential element of Java's security. To understand why, consider the following slightly contrived example. A calendar-management applet defines a class called Alarm. This class is represented in memory as shown in Figure 2.10. Alarm defines an operation turnOn, which sets the first field to true. The Java runtime library defines another class called Applet, whose memory layout is also shown in Figure 2.10. Note that the first field of Applet is fileAccessAllowed, which determines whether the applet is allowed access to files on the hard disk. Figure 2.10 Type safety provides an important foundation for the Java security model.In this figure, two classes, Alarm and Applet, each include a number of fields. Setting the first field in these classes to "true" is not equivalent. Type safety checks ensure that any object a method may try to manipulate is of
