General / Re: Random access iteration benchmark

« on: January 03, 2013, 01:42:11 am »

I really felt I should log in just because I had a similar kind of optimisation concern just today!

Would you mind trying to ad another random access test using the ::at() member function on both containers?

My bet is that this is where the difference lies... since .at() and [] operator have different rules for bounds checking on different containers.

Hope my thinking is communicated and I would appreciate it if any1 could try this (I wish I could but I am hard pressed at this point..sorry).

A fresh project I created now executes properly from the IDE itself even without having the dlls in the .exe folder.

Sidenote: I am not overly familiar with Qt IDE. Since the process in the tutorial works I will leave it as it is for now.

If I come across any shortcomings during the development of my application, I will make sure to post again and modify the tutorial to reflect any changes.

The application runs but no window is shown.

When I run the executable from the explorer, then it complains about dlls.

I've changed the order of linking (even tough I think the order would not matter in a sense..)

The main Issue I try to figure out is why the compiler/debugger/IDE does not complain about missing dll's (provided they are not in the \system32 folder to begin with) a la Visual Studio and happily executes without showing anything on screen.

I am by no means an expert but it seems to me that I am missing something.

Done. Thanks again for your help.

Your tips guided me to the right direction!

I have figured out that is far more simpler to separate the debug and release libs to separate folders and link them in a single line as you previously shown.

Changing the wiki to reflect that...

Thanks for the help Laurent

Yup, this is actually a modified output of the automatic generation provided by Qt creator when linking libraries and I guess it only works for windows. I guess I have to research a more general way to do it and include it on the wiki.

There you go

I was 100% sure there was a less hackish way to do things!

Since you seem to know your way to Qt creator, may I ask how are you supposed to instruct the project what libraries to use depending on release/debug builds?

changing the wiki as we speak...

Thanks a lot exploiter. I have sent you the tutorial in pdf format. Thank you in advance for your effort to post it on Github and I hope many people will benefit from it.

Thanks for the answer but wow! this seems quite complicated for me!

What I could really easily do is, make a word/rtf document explaining the tutorial and share it with anyone willing to upload it on Github...

I have started as we speak.

Hi everyone,

This is my first post although I've been following the library for quite some time now.

To the point:
Recently I have uninstalled VS2010  in order to upgrade to VS2012 and I have successfully built the library for it.
This however broke my interchangeability with the QT creator IDE which I use to integrate SFML for a Level editor that I am building.
Through trial and error I managed to build the library using QT creator's MingGW integrated compiler using its ability to communicate with Cmake.

I would like to post a step by step tutorial of the process if anyone is interested and I am asking where is the correct place to make such a post?

Thanks in advance and congratulations for making such an awesome library!
