When it's compiled standalone, it doesn't work?
//Header File

Code:

#include <string.h>
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <Windows.h>
using namespace std;
int *entryv;
int *negentry;
int source1;
int source2;
double source3[100];
int *total[255];
int miss[255];
double *lime;
double lemons;
int g = 0;
double f = 1;
double *bugtotal[100];
string password = "lemons";

void check()
{
string entry;
cin >> entry;
if(password.compare(entry) != 0)
{
   cout << "Invalidation.\n";
   while(password.compare(entry) != 0)
   {
      cout << "\nPlease try again.\n";
      cin >> entry;
   }
}
SetConsoleTitle(_T("Point Calculation v4.0"));
}

Code:

#include "stdafx.h"
#include <iostream>
#include "encrytion.h"
#include <string>
using namespace std;
#include <windows.h>

double calculation()
{
f = *lime;
for(int e = 0; e < 60; e++)
{
*bugtotal[e] = f / *lime;
cout << f << "/" << *lime << "=" << *bugtotal[e] << endl;
f--;
if(*bugtotal[e] < 0.86)
{
   cout << "Finished Calculating, you will fail after missing " << e << " problems.";
   break;
}
}
return 0;
}
int main()
{
SetConsoleTitle(_T("String Compare"));
entryv = &source1;
negentry = &source2;
lime = &lemons;
cout << "This program is a string compare test, in order for you to continue you need to enter in the correct password.\n";
check();
for(int x = 0; x < 100; x++)
{
   bugtotal[x] = &source3[x];
}
cout << "Insert your points here, then seperate them with return key. To terminate loop, enter a negative number.\n";
for (int e = 0; e < 60; e++)
{
cin >> *entryv;
if(*entryv < 0)
{
cout << "The total is:" << *lime << endl;
break;
}
*lime = *entryv + *lime;

}
calculation();
}

What happens is, when executed stand alone after building; after the add loop the program closes showing this in debugger mode.

Quote:

'Point Calculation.exe': Loaded 'C:\Windows\SysWOW64\ntdll.dll', Cannot find or open the PDB file
'Point Calculation.exe': Loaded 'C:\Windows\SysWOW64\kernel32.dll', Cannot find or open the PDB file

'Point Calculation.exe': Loaded 'C:\Windows\SysWOW64\msvcr100d.dll', Symbols loaded.
The program '[3496] Point Calculation.exe: Native' has exited with code 0 (0x0).

However, whenever the code is executed by control+f5 and not stand alone, the code works.

The debugger is trying to load symbols from them libraries. Do you REALLY need to include windows.h JUST for SetConsoleTitle?

It's fine, it turns out that I forgot system("pause");

That's not fine at all. Where are you learning this crap?

Well besides the set console title and strings part, from the dummies books.

The array + pointers is something I prefer to do, even though theres probably a much easier way.

The program works, no need to fuss about it. It get's the job done.

If you are wondering, I'm under an education where I cannot get lower than a 86% or it converts to a automatic F.

Well then I hope that you would understand that coding something subpar or using poor practices would lead to an "automatic F". Efficiency should be key. Although it may not matter in this program, in large scale programs / small scale embedded stuff it WOULD matter

I am aware it wont run anything but windows; neither do I care.

There's no advantage of me going to anything under windows 7.

You're already crippling yourself if you go to another OS, if you are a gamer of course.

I know there is no need for a console title change, but to be honest I've only read 7 chapters in C++.

C# I believe can only be ran on windows, yet many people prefer it.
( Regarding buggy emulation)

It's a shame most developers are this retarded. Also, C# can be compiled to run on Linux too.

Because I restricted the console application to run only on a Windows Machine makes me retarded? Really? I'm *NEVER* going to a different OS, and the main reason is windows is much more compatible.

If I actually planned on distributing it, I would obviously remove the code that makes it restricted to windows only.

I Used to run C# bots in games that where 100% incompatible with macs, even with the .net emulation. So obviously, not all c# can be ran.

(I'm sure if it was something as simple as proving new offsets for the mac client they would have done it.)

I didn't mention mac. Windows is not more compatible. If you planned on distributing it, why would you use windows API to begin with?

Yes, because it was 2 lines which could have easily been avoided.

A perfect example of compatibility is a PS2 emulator.

There is a linux version, but you can't run gsdx plugins which are significantly better then ZEROgs.

Easily avoided or not, I have no intentions of releasing the code.

I have no idea what you are talking about and neither do you. How is a PS2 emulator at all relevant?

In terms of gaming, which many people pay for upgrades for, running anything other then windows can harm your machine in many ways.

Many things that are coded, like emulators preform worse because of the compatibility issues with windows and linux, sure you can run a virtual machine but that kind of defeats the purpose.

Most of the issues involve direct X and Open Gl though, which open gl is worse than direct X.

Many programs I download are not even an option to download for another OS.

Console apps are not meant to be "paused", they are meant to be ran from the console. If you need the application to stay open, create a Gui for the application then. For debugging purposes and self-creations that you have no intentions on releasing, pausing the console isn't a huge deal though.

I'd suggest not using system( .. ) at all either if you plan to pause the console, use something like:

Code:

std::cin.sync();
std::cin.ignore();

Or something similar. Again, it's not meant to be used for actual applications.

Not every developer is a cross-platform developer, and not every person uses different operating systems. There is nothing wrong with developing for a single system type. And there is nothing "terrible" about the lines of code used just because it wont compile under another compiler.

Really don't see how he is "retarded" when he is developing specifically on Windows, stated he is only interested in working on Windows 7, and even stated he has no interest in releasing the code. It's a shame ego driven people like you exist.

Anyway the topic is solved so locking this.
