Tech: Open HTML Help via Network

May 26, 2006

I used doxygen to generate HTML help files from MS Visual Studio by using Kings' tool download from Code Project website, but when I put the outputs to the network and opened the help file, it said "Action Cancelled". This happened because Windows does not allow opening a network HTML help file, unless we specifically allow the file.

To solve the problem, we need to register the help file. This can be done intuitively by HHReg software, which is freely available at http://www.freedownloadmanager.org/downloads/make_chm_files_info/.

Matlab plotting capability:
We can now set aspect ratio, and when we want to export sth., Matlab 7.1 will capture the screen to reflect the current aspect ratio for us.

Linking problem in C++:
I got weird linking problem from template functions today. When I moved those functions from one class to another, linker did not work properly. Justin told me that we need to move its implementation to header files. Yeah, his suggestion did work.

Programming:: King's Tool--Doxygen for MS Visual Studio

I works nicely and can generate both WinHelp and HTML docs. Class hierarchy diagrams can also be generated. I highly recommend this tool.

Where are my files?

รู้สึกสับสนว่าเก็บสำรองไฟล์ไว้ที่ไหนบ้าง ดังนั้นต้องมาบันทึกและคอนเฟิร์มให้เต็มที่เลยว่าจะเก็บไว้ที่ไหน
1. Massive Backup เช่น Drive MAIN_MAXTOR หรือว่า output จาก master thesis ให้เก็บไว้ที่ Clemente W
2. Active Work (Esp. src code) ให้เก็บไว้ที่ Hornsby Z
3. Active Outputs ให้เก็บไว้ที่ไดร์ฟเราเองเพื่อใ้ห้โหลดได้เร็วๆ จะมีปัญหาเล็กน้อยตรงที่อักษรไดร์ฟอาจจะเปลี่ยนได้ระหว่างเครื่อง ดังนั้นเราอาจจะต้องทำฟังก์ชันไว้ให้เปลี่ยนไดร์ฟได้ง่ายๆ

extern function to organize global function highly related to a specific class
(http://www.accu.org/begincpp/public/disc_topics/extern.html)
1. Declare a function as an extern in .h class
2. Implement it in .cpp class

Memory leakage due to CWinThread.
Memory leakage due to newVolume method in perform method.
Circular heading file when organizing the code is very hard to find.
Constructor inheritance ( : super_class_name() ) -> http://www.ugrad.cs.ubc.ca/~cs260/chnotes/ch4/Ch4Cov02.html.

Elusive memory leakage is now known. It is from NVVolume. Its destructor does not work properly.
However, I don't know what the if structure in NVVolume.h shown below for.
After I commented it out, every thing is still okay.

for (k=0; k \lessthan m_nslices; m_pdata = 0) delete k=

Default setting for inline expansion in debug mode is disabled in VS.Net 2003. To enable it, do as follows

1. right click and invoke project properties
2Go to c++ :: General
3. Change 'Debug Information Format' to 'Program Database (/Zi)'. We cannot use 'Program Database Edit & Continue (/ZI)' because it is incompatible with inline expansion feature.
4. Go to 'C/C++ :: Optimization'.
5. Change 'Inline Function Expansion' to 'Only __inline (/Ob1)'.

A. Mysterious subnet mask problem with CSE servers.
B. Mysterious rebuild and memory leak stuff. If you found memory leak in NVKernel, perhaps, you need to rebuild each project one by one. I think it is a linking problem. Oh, maybe, I actaully need to rebuild the release version of it. :: No, just rebuild each project, except the NVKernel itself.
C. virtaul inline function: if an inline function is inherited, it's must also the virtaul function, or its implementation in a subclass will not exist and linking problem occurs.

A. OpenOffice can export large poster to PDF accurately. Even better than Adobe Acrobat!!!
B. Project dependency may not be saved in a project file. Namely, if we remove a project and add it again to our solution, dependency information will lose and we need to configure it again.

A. Do what is correct and consistent with your style, although it may not the fastest. Consistency is very important to build a reliable multi-processing software. If Big-O complexity is the same, choose straightforward and consistent style.
B. A large, tall male subject :: we do not use ' large and tall' since it means two subjects, one is tall and another is large.
