1. C/C++ Tools & Methodology demonstration He Zongjian ceoxp@yahoo.com School of Software Engineering Tongji University

2. Agenda  Project management in Visual Studio  Develop Resource lookup  Debugging with Visual Studio  Introduction to Windows GUI Apps  Sample application of C++ project  References  Discussion

3. Project management in Visual Studio

4. Common Bad Habit  Create a *.c / *.cpp file  Open it with Visual Studio  Compile

5. Bad Effect  NO Intelligent Sense  Class View / File View disabled  Can NOT debugging  Can NOT locate definitions An Expensive Notepad

6. What is Workspace & Project  Configuration files that help us managing the project  A workspace can have multiple project  Workspaces have the.dsw extension  Projects have the.dsp extension  Double click the workspace can auto launch the Developer studio

7. Other files used by devenv .ncb : Visual C++ IntelliSense Database .rc : Resource template .pch : Precompiled header .obj : Intermediate file .pdb : Program debugging database .bsc : Browse information .clw : Class wizard file (MFC only)

8. Using File View & Class View  File View : –Add new file –Delete file  Class View : –Locate functions & variables –Add new class –Add member functions and member variables

9. Project configuration  Debug version VS Release Version  Enable RTTI  Command line arguments

10. Useful Tips  Code auto formatting (Alt + F8)  Go to definition  Go to reference  Find in files  Open document

11. New features in VS.NET .dsw ->.sln  Integrated IDE  Measure up to C++ standard  ……

12. Develop Resource lookup

13. Microsoft Developer Network (MSDN)  All develop related resources  Online Version: –http://msdn.microsoft.com http://msdn.microsoft.com –Released every 4 months  Visual Studio 6.0 Version (.chm) –VB 6, VC 6, VFP 6, VJ 6, VID 6, Platform SDK  After Jan 2002, Visual Studio.NET Version –.NET framework

14. Demo : How to use MSDN

15. Other Resources  Knowledge Base –http://support.microsoft.com http://support.microsoft.com  TechNet –http://technet.microsoft.com http://technet.microsoft.com  Developer Works (IBM) –http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/ http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/

16. Debugging with Visual Studio

17. What is debugging?  A process for identifying the root cause of a problem by tracing program execution flow and underneath memory status.  Beneficial after performing general troubleshooting steps.

18. Basic debugging knowledge  Symbols : The PDB files generated with your binaries by VS  Debugging tools –Visual Studio –Windbg / CDB ( For Windows ) –Debug ( For MS-DOS ) –Gdb ( For Linux / Unix / AIX )

19. Common Debug Scenario  Logic Error  Memory Leak  Access Violation (AV)

20. Basic Methodology  Set break point  Step into / Step over / Step out  Variables monitor (Local / Watch / Auto)  Call stack  Memory  Register  Disassembly

21. Demo : How to use Visual Studio.NET to debugging

22. Advanced Methodology  Conditional Breakpoint  Remote debugging (GDI / Kernel)  JIT debugging  Debugging running process  Debugging crash dump  Multithread debugging

23. Demo : Conditional Breakpoint Attach to a process

24. Solving Access Violation  Buffer Overflow / Underflow –Heap Corruption –Stack Corruption  Memory Access Denied –Raw Pointer –Double Free

25. The Hint  Debuggers are just tools  We must also : –Know the product –Know the languages and their implications (compiler implementation) –Know the operating system –Know the CPU –Know the tools

26. Introduction to Windows GUI Applications

27. What does GUI App Contains  Entry Point : WinMain  Register a window class  Create and Show a Window  Message Loops  Windows Procedure (WinProc)  Resource Template

28. Demo : Create and analyze a GUI application

29. Sample application of C++ project

30. Demo : Text Miner 1.0 Cheat Killer 0.02 Demo : Text Miner 1.0 Cheat Killer 0.02
