The following code is generating warning C6284 when compiled with /analyze on MSVC 2008 : object passed as parameter '%s' when string is required in call to function.

 CString strTmp, str;
 str = L"aaa.txt"
 strTmp.Format (L"File: %s", str);

I'm looking for a nice solution for this that would not require static_cast

On Linux and Mac this works easily: they provide a static library (libltidsdk.a) and headers and all that we have to do is use them. Compiling for windows isn't so easy… >>> More

Python rather stupidly has a pragma directive in its include files that forces a link against python26_d.lib when the DEBUG preprocessor variable is defined. This is a problem because the python installer doesn't come with python26_d.lib! So I can't build applications in msvc in debug mode. If i temporarily… >>> More

I've read about a solution using the internal function _input_l and linking statically to the crt runtime, but unfortunately I cannot… >>> More

Hello, I'm using pthreads-win32 for portable threading support for windows. At least, according to the documentation pthreads-win32 should work with MSVC and even MSVC builds provided.
