BBClone installation fails Written on July 30, 2006, by akafazov.
Today I found about the BBClone software which can trace visitors on my webpages and give me more info about the users and what exactly did they do. I was looking for something similar but now I found it. Following the installation instructions didn’t bring it up and running due to the fact that the [...]
Memory leeks in Firefox 1.5.0.4 Written on July 23, 2006, by akafazov.
I have already saw several times how firefox is leeking memory, one time 1.5GB of space was reserved and one time I got the message “out of virtual memory”. I close the browser but then looking in the task menager I was the firefox process still running and consuming more or less memory.
Debuging multithreaded applications in VS2003 and SVG Written on July 19, 2006, by akafazov.
Most of the day spent in debuging and still problems with the studio. It crashed my computer several times and I was forced to reboot, which costs several minutes. I am sure that this is a bug in the IDE, since it’s not the first time it happens. It sucks because not being able to [...]
FreeBSD + KDE + OpenOffice Written on July 16, 2006, by akafazov.
Yesturday I decided to finally install DesktopBSD on Maria’s computer. I didn’t go directly to FreeBSD because I wanted to try DesktopBSD and it seemed the OS for somebody with limited computer skills. Well, Maria can do her job perfectly under Windows but she has no experience with BSD.
I downloaded the latest version from Internet, [...]
warning LNK4075: ignoring ‘/EDITANDCONTINUE’ due to ‘/INCREMENTAL:NO’ specification Written on July 11, 2006, by akafazov.
This is just a warning, but I don’t like them either:) The warning implies that I have specified mutually exclusive options, that is the /ZI option implies /EDITANDCONTINUE. The problem is resolved when changing /ZI to /Zi in the C++ tab in project options.
LNK2001: unresolved external symbol __CorExeMain@0 Written on July 11, 2006, by akafazov.
Today I got the LNK2001 error, and it is resolved through linking the mscoree.lib library. The SDK documentation also suggested it could appear when you fail to link some third-party libraries. Another reason could also be using the /clr switch.
I should check on this lib some time soon.
Calling .Net delegate from C++/CLR Written on July 10, 2006, by akafazov.
I found two different ways to call a .Net delegate from C++/CLR. If you are using the CLI syntax you can do it like this:
ipDelegate = Marshal::GetFunctionPointerForDelegate(EventRBaseUpdate);
RBCALLBACK rbCall = static_cast(ipDelegate.ToPointer());
rbCall(param1, param2); // call the delegate
and with the old syntax I do it like this:
__raise EventRBaseUpdate(param1,param2);
Getting function pointer with the old syntax is more complicated, [...]

System.IO.FileLoadException C++/CLR Written on July 8, 2006, by akafazov.
So, problems persist. After being able to successfully compile and use the mixed DLL for the first library, it doesn’t work with the second one. I did exactly the same steps as before, but I was trying to work from my computer at home and I thing it has something to do with the failure. [...]
Library problem resolved Written on July 4, 2006, by akafazov.
It’s been a while I’ve been working on this problem and after some help from fellow at work we find the solution. The problem was with the namaged wrapper for the C++ library. First of all, I am using Visual Studio .NET 2003 the create a DLL written in C++/CLR. I just needed to use [...]
