VARIANT arrays (SAFEARRAYs) are useful because they are OLE Automation compatible but multidimensional ones are used rather rarely. Unfortunately, the order of indexes is different depending on API. Somewhere it’s normal, somewhere it’s reverse and, as for me, I need to refresh this knowledge almost every time I come across a multidimensional VARIANT array. I…
ATL collections CAtlArray, CAtlList, CAtlMap are very useful but lack for thread safety features. They are thread unsafe by design and the caller is supposed to take care of access protection is case of multithreaded usage. However the thread safety protection for the collections is rather typical and a good template can embed all the…
Active Template Library (ATL) contains a lot of useful classes but not for sorting. There are collections classes, including CAtlArray but it does not have sorting capabilities. I would like to share quite simple C++ templates that sort.
It’s quite surprising to find quite useful classes deep inside ATL core. Today I stumbled upon CStackDumper class, which looks interesting. Basically it does nothing amazing and in fact duplicates my proprietary code I use for debugging but it’s surprising to see it there. Undocumented and even Google knows little about it.
