Pane enabling
Message #7060
"The comments in CPane.c mention the GetEnabled/SetEnabled methods, but all there is is an enabled member. Did these methods just not get implemented?" I believe the comments are wrong. The "enabled" feature was inserted at the appropriate level in the TCL, but disabling was left as a subclass responsibility. Bob
#Copyright
Message #7059
"I like putting [Symantec's copyright notices] in [my programs] anyhow…gives them free advertising. :)" You may like to do this, but I'd advise others against following your example. You own the exclusive copyright to your original program, even when it contains individually copyrighted elements, except as restricted by your license…
#OGL for Borland C++
Message #7058
Is there any news about a new version of Object Graphics for Borland C++ 3.1? My organisation rely heavily on OGL, but our present version is for Borland C++ 3.0, and we've encountered quite a few problems since we bought Borland C++ 3.1. I might add, that we've transformed the…
GNU C

Does anyone know if anyone is working on porting GCC as a Think Project Manager Translator? —Greg
#Symantec Support
Message #7056
>Are the support folks 'C' literate? They have been the few times I have called. Some points to remember: 1. It is much easier to find bugs in C code when you are looking at it, as opposed to having someone tell you what they wrote. Did you fax the…
Problem with native/fpu
Message #7055
I am developing some code on a Centris 650 w/fpu using ThinkC 6.0. When I turn on the 68020, 68881 and native floating point options, I get a program crash (bus error) whenever I do a math.c function. I've recompiled ANSI per pg. 409 of the Users Manual, so I…
_vtbl
Message #7054
Joel, I've seen lots of those too. They seem to mean that the linker can't find *any* of the implementation of atom. "_vtbl" is just the first (internal) method it decided to mention. – Ames
#AM 1.5.4X & TCL
Message #7053
I grabbed the 1.5.4X updater and installed it, apparently with no problem. I then opened the resource I had created under 1.5.4 and had it regenerate all the sources again (into a new directory so that it did not prevent createing the user files). I then built and ran that.…
I am looking for a bug list that I heard is here. I believe that I have corrupted my project. Can you direct me to it?
Bugs du jour
Message #7050
This definition of function 'h' should produce an error: void g (void) { } void h (void) { return g(); } [gray book r.6.6.3: "A return statement with an expression can be used only in functions returning a value"] This definition of function 'f' should produce an error: short f…
That problem is now behind me. It had nothing to do with the DeskWriter 550C driver, or for that matter with Symantec at all. It was a bug in the MemCheck libraries that I use — they redefine memset() and all other memory access functions to allow me to track…
>> In AppMaker 1.5.4X (which I recommend you install) we generate code to set the radio buttons' IDs to 1,2,3,4, etc. and generate Get/SetGroupChoice methods. That does sound much better! I'll go grab the updater and try it. I saw the rather roundabout way that Rick set the IDs in…

Rich, Cool! I've give your info a shot!

#4 byte int problem
Message #7044
I don't know how the version numbers compare, but the DeskWriter (no C, or 550C) driver 3.1 I couldn't get the ANSI library to compile. Removing the driver let it compile. I have version 3.9 of the driver now and was able to recompile the library when I upgraded to…

Randy, "Congratulations!" Thanks, Randy. Bob
CIconPane Bug – 1.1.3
Message #7042
In hindsight, though, I liked the other response you got to your question. Modifying tcl_PlotCIconHandle to write a zero to the stack before calling PlotCIconHandle preserves error returns while working around the bug. Bob
Symantec Support
Message #7041
Terry, "Are the support folks 'C' literate? I did not seem so to me." All the support folks I've encountered have been literate, but I never call. I always use this online forum. Which also gives the support folks the chance to consider your question and compose a reasoned response.…

Message #7038
Hello, Here are the problems I discovered recently with the Symantec C++ compiler. I am almost sure these problems were already reported, but just in case… 1) Long floats are not supported? The following code: void LongFloater(void) { long float x; x= x+1; } produces the error message: "internal error:…
Kevin, Your reply suggests that the undefined _vtbl error is caused by a virtual member function that is declared but not defined. I've checked the class and every member function that is declared in the '.h' file is defined in the '.cp' file. What should I be looking for? Jim.
Actually, Joe is encrypting his messages with a key so secret that even he can't decode them. 🙂
Burt, There are at least two different ways to manage radio buttons in the TCL. Get/SetStationID is one of the ways. (Setting a button to ON and letting ProviderChanged turn off the other buttons is the other way.) Unfortunately, as you have discovered, the ID field of a pane is…
#Pane enabling
Message #7032
Andrew, I agree about that drawing in gray if a Pane is dis-abled, should be built into the TCL. One caveat, if the Mac is BW only you can't draw in gray, all PC's Window apps draw in gray if a pane is dis-abled but they don't have that BW…
Symantec C++ bug
Message #7031
Phil Shapiro reproduced it…apparently it was a problem with the "comp" type used for dates (the line that was indicated was not the line in error).
#Book book to learn C++?
Message #7029
I've received QuickApp. It's manual is very terse but enough to get you going. So far it seems fairly stable sitting on top of a some what shakey C++. I havn't had much time to experiment much, but the examples seem to work OK. I can't get the Apple Menu…
(From previous responses to this question:) You'll get this link error anytime a reference to a virtual method is made when the vtable has not been built. The compiler uses the first virtual method in a class to start the vtable, and subsequent methods will use that as a starting…
We are working on the first maintenance release for 6.0. However, our policy is not to supply information about future releases or release dates. Kevin Irlen Symantec Languages Support

#Sound Manager 8KHz
Message #7023
I have an application where I need to record sound from the Mic at 8KHz. It is important to use that frequency because I then feed the resulting sound into some hardware that only works at that frequency (telephone stuff). I have the following snippet of code (all error checking…
#Link error
Message #7020
I'm converting a TCL application from THINK C to Symantec C++ by moving classes one at a time to the Starter project, changing the extension from '.c' to '.cp'. When adding the latest class, I get the link error: undefined: CTqBsTable::_vtbl What causes this? How can I get rid of…

Oops! I'll go double check that again. Thanks! – Burt Later: I tried that change and it worked! Thanks again!!
#C/C++ Formatting

I've heard a lot about the new format for sending compressed data over the Internet. Is this it??? Reede
Booch Components?
Message #7017
Further to Reede's comment in the next message >>6921 Consequently, they should (do, according to Rational) work fine with MPW C++.
#TCL Radio Buttons
Message #7015
I am just starting to use TCL and am very confused it seems. I have a window on which I placed several RadioGroupPanes, each with 4 buttons. The original code is generated by AppMaker 1.5.4. I am trying to get/set the initial values of the radio buttons, but it ain't…
Problem with printf
Message #7014
#include solved the printf problem. It should have been there and I inadvertantly left it out. The eronious variable values were caused by the scanf line of code. I had: scanf ("%d/%d/%d", &today.month, &today.day, &today.year); It should have been: scanf ("%d%d%d", &today.month, &today.day, &today.year); Thanks for your help… – Evan

#Smart Linking
Message #7009
Hi Chris, As you probably know, Smart Linking has a bug in first version of 6.0 released at WWDC. Is there a newer version available that corrects the problem? If not, when might we expect such an update? Thanks, Dave S. [QKS]
Access To Lib Format
Message #7008
Hi Chris, We are using Think C/C++ 6.0 for our product development. MPW gave us the information on the structure of .o files. That allowed us to dynamically load and link the contents of .o files into our applications as needed. We want to be able to have the same…
Shared Library Manager
Message #7007
Hi Chris, We are using Think C/C++ 6.0 for our product development. Apple has decided to go forward in pushing SLM as the way to handle dynamically shareable code libraries. Will Think C/C++ support SLM linking and library generation anytime soon? Best Regards, Dave S. [QKS]
#Book book to learn C++?
Message #7005
I've grown to like Lippman's C++ Primer, too. (Need to specify the author's name here, since there at least THREE "C++ Primer" titled books on the shelves.) There are a couple of things that get mentioned only in passing, so you need to be a little careful at times. Otherwise,…
