SMTP send

A good example of sending mail is here - https://forum.antichat.ru/printthread.php?t=44490

If you need a port to C + +, write to me.
P.S. Practice has shown that the service mail.ru better not to deal with. Half day caught cause loss of messages such as “mailbox does not exist”, while the same yandex sent no questions asked.

Note about a sniffer code

On the internet I have found a lot of information and sample code to implement the injection of dynamic link library into an executable module. Most of examples originate from Jeffrey Richter. What I have observed, a lot of these examples forget to exit from thread in the sniffer library. This is particularly as a rule in examples for Delphi. Without this command, the executable file, which we produce injection will simply fall down. So, do not forget to leave the thread.

ExitThread(0);

Qt and messages queue

Out of habit, with WinApi you need to find a substitute for SendMessage, PostMessage in Qt, so that some operations less meaningful and more demanding to defer for a period of message processing, but not during the execution of the interrupt handler, or any triggers.

OR SDK and STL string

OR SDK and STL string together generate 118 errors when compiling from error C2365: ‘operator new’: redefinition; previous definition was ‘function’

It seems that there is no reason to combine them, because in the OR SDK there is a class for the string – FBString. However, such a challenge comes when you want to connect third-party libraries or own development, often it’s all tied to the STL string and get rid of that there is no possibility.

AREA: Exposing functions to the Python

The portal Autodesk AREA branch will be interesting to discuss how to export a C ++ function for a MoBu python.

User Petr Man offers a good solution to this, so that anyone having this kind of need to necessarily look at

Minidump for VisualStudio and GCC

What is a minidump? Now, if the client application was launched from the debugger, then when an error occurs, the debugger would show a stopping place in the code and it would be possible to see variable values at the time of the crash. So minidump snapshot, with which you can do the same, but without running the debugger. The client runs your application, and from crashing minidump, you can determine where is the place of failure.

But the way of creation this minidumps differ in VisualStudio and GCC.

VBO tips and tricks

Until now, the moment I took some of the stereotypes about how to draw the geometry means OpenGL, which after a series of tests had to be overcome.

UIBuilder source code is now avaliable!

A high loading state of the last few days led me to believe that a useful tool would be good to lay eyes on the public with the source code freely available.

XML

I discover the flexibility of the *.xml format and now even I plans to remake save / load for UIBuilder to xml. Of course convenience format largely depends also on your editor – himself picked XML Maker, very pleased. In most it has markup and tips on grammar, the editor has the opportunity to present data in tabular form.
With regard to programming, but here I stopped at tinyxml, not discerning and well-equipped library.
In general dumping down all the documents and logs, it’s time to put things in order!

GLSL: missing uniform location

I have faced with such a feature of the GLSL compiler. If the variable is not used in the shader, then find its location there would be no possibility, it is simply truncated from the shader.

The search function on behalf of the Uniform position.
int loc = glGetUniformLocationARB ( , );

Moreover, even if caught insidious, like the variable is used, but the result of further calculations is not, and that’s why, again, to find the ancestral variable is not possible.
