all standard containers are required to provide certain type definitions and implementations for a specific set of methods. This means that if C is an STL-conforming container, then C::iterator is the type of the iterator for that container. This has the signi...
A Shortcut for the Output Case: Working in Place with std::wstring Handling a Race Condition Wrapping Up July 2015 Volume 30 Number 7 ByGiovanni Dicanio| July 2015 The Win32 API exposes several features using a pure-C interface. This means there are no C++ string classes available natively...
It was designed with two important characteristics in mind. First, it’s backward-compatible with ASCII; this means that each valid ASCII character code has the same byte value when encoded using UTF-8. In other words, valid ASCII text is automatically valid UTF...
UTF-8, as its name suggests, uses 8-bit code units. It was designed with two important characteristics in mind. First, it’s backward-compatible with ASCII; this means that each valid ASCII character code has the same byte value when encoded using UTF-8. In other words, valid ASCII...
TheXPASSandXFAILresult codes are less obvious.XPASSis actually a failure result and indicates that we expected a test to fail but it passed.XFAILis a successful result and indicates that we expected the test to fail and it did. Typically anXPASSresult means that theexpected_results.txtfile fo...
The implementations (in msvcfill.cpp) are considerate to the kernel. This functionality enables the MSVC STL containers to link to kernel-appropriate functionality. This also means that if some std container functionality is used that doesn't have "fill" functionality behind it - the linker will...
Vectors are part of STL. Vectors in C++ are sequence containers representing arrays that can change their size during runtime. They use contiguous storage locations for their elements just as efficiently as in arrays, which means that their elements can also be accessed using offsets on regular ...

and may use different storage arrangements. It means allocated memory, CRT resources, or classes passed across a DLL boundary can cause problems in memory management, internal static usage, or layout interpretation. For example, if a class is allocated in one DLL but passed to and deleted by ...
