How do I list the symbols being exported from a .so file? If possible, I'd also like to know their source (e.g. if they are pulled in from a static library). I'm using gcc 4.0.2, if that makes a difference.

Basically I want tools which generate source code visualization like: function call graph dependency graph ...

I have a .exe and many plug-in .dll modules that the .exe loads. (I have source for both.) A cross-platform (with source) solution would be ideal, but the platform can be narrowed to WinXP and Visual Studio (7.1/2003 in my case). The built-in VS leak det...

I'm looking for a tool which can generate makefile for a C/C++ project for different compilers (gcc, microsoft vc++, borland etc) and different platforms (Win, Linux, Mac).

Why are pointers such a leading factor of confusion for many new, and even old, college level students in C or C++? Are there any tools or thought processes that helped you understand how pointers work at the variable, function, and beyond level? What a...

In unmanaged C/C++ code, what are the best practices to detect memory leaks? And coding guidelines to avoid? (As if it's that simple ;) We have used a bit of a silly way in the past: having a counter increment for every memory allocation call and decreme...

Any good suggestions? Input will be the name of a header file and output should be a list (preferably a tree) of all files including it directly or indirectly.

I'm trying to learn C. As a C# developer, my IDE is Visual Studio. I've heard this is a good environment for C/C++ development. However, it seems no matter what little thing I try to do, intuition fails me. Can someone give good resources for how to eithe...

In the C and C++ programming languages, what is the difference between using angle brackets and using quotes in an include statement, as follows? #include <filename> #include "filename"

I once had the task of determining the following performance parameters from inside a running application: Total virtual memory available Virtual memory currently used Virtual memory currently used by my process Total RAM available RAM currently used RA...

I want to be able to generate PDF output from my (native) C++ Windows application. Are there any free/open source libraries available to do this? I looked at the answers to this question, but they mostly relate to .Net.

Consider these two function definitions: void foo() { } void foo(void) { } Is there any difference between these two? If not, why is the void argument there? Aesthetic reasons?

I read somewhere once that the modulus operator is inefficient on small embedded devices like 8 bit micro-controllers that do not have integer division instruction. Perhaps someone can confirm this but I thought the difference is 5-10 time slower than wit...
