Re: Protocol Buffers can't use in visual studio 2003 ?
I don't think DLLs or LIBs created with a never version of MSVC will work with MSVC 2003. Protobufs use STL heavily in the interface, and I think the STL classes change from version to version.

Could some make available the required *.dlls and *.libs which I could download and test with my IDE? This should tell whether it's the dll/ libs that MSVC 2003 makes are the root of the problem or whether it's with program that's linking to them? Right? you can create a new project under the solution of vsprojects, then select the dependencies to lib*, then it will work. I'm not certain what you mean there...

Re: Protocol Buffers can't use in visual studio 2003 ?
Even if only the implementation changes -- specifically, the class's memory layout -- that will cause a binary incompatibility, especially since STL is all templates. It seems the debug vs. release versions of MSVC's STL are not even binary compatible, so being compatible between two versions of MSVC seems doubtful.

I couldn't imagine the STL's interface changing. The implementation, sure, but I'd be surprised if the interface would (There'd need to be a real good reason with all that reference paperwork needing changing). Protobufs use STL heavily in the interface, and I think the STL classes change from version to version. Sure, but if I can compile the DLL's and LIB's anyway I can't see this being a problem. This is just gut feeling, though. I can't find anything online to say either way which would happen. Would it be worth trying anyway?

Re: Protocol Buffers can't use in visual studio 2003 ?
I think you'll have to run it in a debugger and try to figure out the cause of the crash you're seeing. I don't have a copy of MSVC '03, but if you send me the stack trace I could try to guess what's going on. On Tue, Sep 16, 2008 at 1:03 PM, Niall [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Finally. I see what you mean. Thanks for your help and clarification. I wasn't aware of those issues. Thanks again! Any suggestions on how I could use protobufs with MSVC '03? Without the runtime errors when calling SerializeToOstream, that is. Lenjoy, in the second post, said: you can create a new project under the solution of vsprojects, then select the dependencies to lib*, then it will work. But I don't know what that means... I tried a couple of things, like adding a new project to the solution I used in generating the DLLs, libs etc. But with the same result. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Protocol Buffers group.

Re: Protocol Buffers can't use in visual studio 2003 ?
There are at least two problems with using STL and even ordinary code across DLL boundaries with MSVC, both of which can be hard to get round. One is that if you link statically (select the non-DLL version of the run time libraries) the code inside the DLL will use a different storage pool from code outside the DLL, so store allocated on one side of the boundary and freed on the other side of the boundary will break the storage pool that tries to free it. This will also happen if the run time library selected by the code in the DLL is not identical to that selected by the program using it. Another problem is that much of the STL implementation selected by Microsoft does not use 0 as a special pointer value to mark the ends of linked lists and such things. It tends to allocate a little chunk of memory and use that instead. These marker values are not exported across the DLL boundary, so somebody reading an STL structure created on the other side of the DLL boundary will not recognise the end list marker and will fall of the end and start using rubbish pointers.
