I've recently heard about the CaptureStackBackTrace function by reading this post. I cannot find it in any of my Visual Studio 2005 header files however, and I'm guessing (from the MSDN URL which mentions VS.85) that this may only be a Visual Studio 2008 thing.
Is there a way, perhaps by manually finding the entry point in a system DLL somewhere, to get this function under Visual Studio 2005?
Remarks
The CaptureStackBackTrace function is
defined as the
RtlCaptureStackBackTrace function. For
more information, see Winbase.h and
Winnt.h.
I haven't updated my Windows SDK beyond whatever comes with Visual Studio 2005 but I have found this solution to work:
typedef USHORT (WINAPI *CaptureStackBackTraceType)(__in ULONG, __in ULONG, __out PVOID*, __out_opt PULONG);
CaptureStackBackTraceType func = (CaptureStackBackTraceType)(GetProcAddress(LoadLibrary("kernel32.dll"), "RtlCaptureStackBackTrace"));
// Then use 'func' as if it were CaptureStackBackTrace
Did you update your Windows SDK to the most recent version? Since this is a Windows API function, it should be included there.

I have installed colmap via vcpkg and it's not showing up for me. It shows up on .\vcpkg list but not on Visual Studio 2019.
All of colmap's dependencies are showing up when I do #include "" and they also show up on #include <> along with many other libs, but no colmap can be found.
What can I do? Let me knowm if there's any other info I can give, I'm fairly new to C++ and Visual Studio, so there's only so much I know is important.
I was finally able to include colmap. I had not payed attention to the debugger version I was using. It was set to x86 and my colmap was compiled at x64, so it would never show up on my VS2019!
Using InnoSetup and InnoSetup Script Studio for a while with success. But there is one missing feature: Debugging includes .iss files. So I installed Visual&Install (unSigned s.r.o.) to evaluate it and to see if it allows debugging includes .iss files (having one main .iss files and several "modules").
The Result after installing Visual&Install is that it causes all my Visual Studio installations to crash after launching:
Any suggestions? I'll try to contact Visual&Install support but I need a quick solution since I need Visual Studio for development ...
--hfrmobile
Simply disable the extension which may cause crash and Start Visual Studio.
As the Visual & Installer extension is tested probably there is no problem directly in this extension but this extension may collide with some other.
Notification window is a new added feature in visual studio 2013. I have an isolated shell application created using visual studio 2013 shell.
Is it possible to extend the Notification window and show notification or information related to our isolated shell application ?
The answer to your question would be yes, however Microsoft does not expose the functionality officially. You can expose these structures yourself, if you're super interested.
The way you can do it, is kind of hackish, but it will work, at least for VS2013. Basically, you need to either reference an internal dll (C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\Common7\IDE\Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.UI.Internal.dll), or just copy/paste the relevant structures into your own program, as Kevin has done: User Notifications in the Visual Studio 2013 SDK.
If that is done, you can exploit the interfaces: https://github.com/kevfromireland/visual-studio-2013-notifications-example/blob/master/UserNotificationDemo/UserNotificationDemoPackage.cs
var notificationService = (IVsUserNotificationsService)GetService(
typeof(SVsUserNotificationsService));
var notifcationManager = notificationService.
GetUserNotificationsManagerAsync()
.GetResult();
var vsUserNotificationsManager = (IVsUserNotificationsManager) notifcationManager;
var pic = new RedditPicProvider().GetAwwPicture();
vsUserNotificationsManager.
AddUserNotification(ExampleProvider.Guid,
pic.Url,
pic.Title,
pic.Url,
(uint) NotificationServerity.Critical, isTransient: true);
RegisterNotificationProvider(vsUserNotificationsManager);
I just installed documents for visual studio 2010, though online installing, which included Win32 & Com, DDK, and SDK 7.1, but when I lookup PIMAGE_NT_HEADERS, it got no results, am I wrong ?
So I tried MSDN online, it got lot of pages related
It is just a little helper type, the P makes it a pointer to the IMAGE_NT_HEADERS structure. In other words, an alias for IMAGE_NT_HEADERS*. The MSDN library doesn't document these wee ones.
Look up IMAGE_NT_HEADERS instead.
I had some code that I developed on Ubuntu and now I am trying to compile it on Windows 7 (MS VS 2010).
vector<float> tmp;
....
tmp = {3.0,4.5,9.4};
This gives me syntax error
error C2143: syntax error : missing ';' before '{'
Is this because Visual studio doesn't support this feature ? or should I be enabling some switch in the properties. I have the "Platform Toolset" property set to "v100."
Thank you.
The C++0x features are enabled by default on the Visual Studio 2010 C++ compiler. It takes no extra switches for example to use lambdas, auto, etc ... If you're getting that error it's because in all likelyhood it's not supported.
EDIT
Based on this MSDN article, initializer lists are not one of the 6 supported features in 2010
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/ee336130.aspx
the Visual C++ compiler in Visual Studio 2010 enables six C++0x core language features: lambda expressions, the auto keyword, rvalue references, static_assert, nullptr and decltype
Visual Studio 2010 doesn't support initializer lists.
Look here for the supported C++0x features in Visual Studio 2010
Visual Studio 2012 doesn't support them, too.
You can find he C++11 features that are implemented in Visual Studio 2012 / VS11 here and here.
The first implementation of initializer list is available in the Visual C++ Compiler November 2012 CTP.
The first real release of initializer lists will be in Visual Studio 2013.
Even if they were there, this code would not work because it assigns an initializer list, which is not yet a vector, to an existing object named 'tmp'. You can assign to vectors like this:
vector<int> tmp = vector<int> {...}; // calls constructor, initializes then assigns
or
std::initializer_list<int> iniList = {1,2,3,4,5,6};
but not
std::vector<int> tmp;
tmp = {...}; // calls assignment operator
By the way: the feature is still missing in VS2012.
