03:40:32 <kAlug> hey ZachThibeau
03:40:38 <ZachThibeau> hey kAlug
03:43:52 <kAlug> ZachThibeau: Do you know how do I pass a reference to an int to a function in C++?
03:44:20 <gluxon> ZachThibeau: Prepend it with &
03:44:22 <gluxon> Sorry
03:44:30 <gluxon> kAlug: &$int
03:44:53 <ZachThibeau> I'm not the best person to be asking, while I program I don't really teach or solve problems for anyone, I just suck in that department
03:45:03 <kAlug> I tried. Got "cannot convert from int * to int &".
03:45:49 <ZachThibeau> before adding what gluxon pointed out, what was the error before?
03:46:08 <kAlug> That was the first thing I've tried.
03:46:17 <kAlug> Actually dropping the & worked.
03:46:28 <gluxon> Right.
03:46:34 <gluxon> The C++ function shouldn't be doing that.
03:47:05 <kAlug> What do you mean?
03:47:23 <gluxon> The function you're calling requires the actual variable to be passed.
03:47:51 <gluxon> C++ functions should request a 'pointer'/'reference' to the variable instead.
03:48:27 <gluxon> C++ is a bit stupid (as being designed decades ago), when you pass the actual variable (not a pointer), it copies the entire variable (which makes the program lag).
03:49:07 <gluxon> When you pass a pointer, C++ can just use a short address instead of the entire variable. (AE94)
03:49:31 <gluxon> kAlug: Is this a function you developed yourself?
03:49:58 <kAlug> Yep. Slowly learning some bits of C++.
03:50:13 <kAlug> Current prototype is this: static LPWSTR UTF8ToWideChar (std::string str, int &length);

06:37:53 <pa_0042> Hi,cai i ask one question?
06:50:44 <TPFC-SYSTEM> pa_0042: Of course. You don't need to ask permission for that. :)
06:52:01 <pa_0042> oh,tank's. Before i write i ask sorry for my bad english. i try to use a translator for semplification my question.
06:52:07 <pa_0042> I'm Mark, I call from Italy. I wanted to know if it 'can install your software "portable apps" on my work computer. I have no need to distribute it, but I just want to know if I can install it on a pc in my company (we are 12 employees). As a second question I would ask if the applications within a "portable apps" (which I seem to understand is certified OPI) are all accessible for use "not personal".
06:53:32 <TPFC-SYSTEM> Yes, you can install the PortableApps.com Platform on your computers.
06:54:12 <pa_0042> it's to simple? Without ask permission to somebody?
06:54:40 <TPFC-SYSTEM> Only some of the applications allow commercial use. You need to look at the "License" field at each application page.
06:54:46 <TPFC-SYSTEM> For example: http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/firefox_portable
06:54:55 <TPFC-SYSTEM> "License: Free / Open Source (Launcher: GPL, Firefox: MPL/GPL/LPGL under Mozilla EULA)"
06:55:02 <kAlug> TPFC-SYSTEM: You mean "do *not* allow", right?
06:55:19 <TPFC-SYSTEM> In the case of Firefox Portable, commercial use is allowed.
06:55:36 <TPFC-SYSTEM> Otherwise the License would be "Free for personal use" or something.
06:56:20 <TPFC-SYSTEM> kAlug: No. With "some of the applications", I mean the majority.
06:57:00 <kAlug> Ah. Alright then.
06:57:04 <TPFC-SYSTEM> pa_0042: If it is your company, you indeed don't need to ask permission.
06:57:20 <TPFC-SYSTEM> If not, I suggest that you ask your boss first.
06:58:37 <pa_0042> ok,thank's,thank's and another thank's for time spent to istruction me. Now i read well what you write for understand which apllication are complete free or not (or where find to watch)
06:59:00 <pa_0042> it's family company,thank's for attenction to say me
06:59:15 <TPFC-SYSTEM> You're welcome. :)
06:59:45 <pa_0042> last thing: Is possible there is a OSI app certified but not complete free?
07:00:07 <pa_0042> for example OSI app but only for personal use
07:00:37 <TPFC-SYSTEM> I think so, but I'm not sure. :/
07:01:23 <pa_0042> Thanks, I appreciate and I respect what you do. greetings
