In this post I will talk about detecting and debugging memory leaks in a C++11 program, Visual Studio’s built in heap profiler and Intel Parallel Studio 2019. And also the importance of virtual destructors when implementing derived subclasses.
Boost 1.67 was released last April, and Boost 1.68 will soon be released, probably in the middle of August if the release schedule holds.
Visual Studio 2017 was just recently updated to version 15.5. It brings many goodies for us C++ programmers, among them a C++17 compiler switch /std:c++17, and a conformance mode switch /permissive-.
In this short tutorial we will show how to create a new C++ project in Visual Studio and write and run a simple “Hello, World!” program in C++.
After installing one of the versions of the C++ Boost library you need to know how to use it in VS2017. Remember, only Boost 1.64 and up works with Visual Studio 2017.
Visual Studio 2017 has been released, and it wasn’t exactly trivial to get previous versions of boost (1.63 and down) or next versions 1.67 and 1.68 to build with it.
At our math website we publish printable PDF worksheets for school children. We’ve just started publishing crosswords, while relatively easy to create, they require much work to make them into tasks.
This guide shows how to use Boost library with Visual Studio 2013 or 2015. Guide for using Boost with VS2017.
Windows systems don’t show folder sizes per default. One need to either use a third party software or make a script or a program yourself. In this tutorial I will show how to create a simple C# application in Visual Studio that shows folder sizes on your Windows machine.
You are wondering why is it easy to see a file size in Windows explorer, but not the folder size? The short answer is – resources. In order for the explorer to show a directory size it needs to process all files in all sub folders and calculate the space that all the files take in a directory. The calculation is resource draining and time consuming. The feature was available in Windows before XP, but was then removed as it made explorer slow to work with.
