SMPP client is adding an ¿ to the end of the message - c++

I'm trying to make a Windows desktop smpp client, and it's connecting and sending well, aside from a bug where an extra character (¿) is added to the end of the message content that I'm receiving on my phone.
So I'm sending "test" but my phone receives "test¿". Here's the contents of the pdu object, just before it gets sent:
size :58
sequence :2
cmd id :0x4
cmd status:0x0 : No Error
00000000 00 00 00 3a 00 00 00 04 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 02 |...:............|
00000010 00 05 00 74 65 73 74 66 72 6f 6d 00 01 01 34 34 |...testfrom...44|
00000020 37 37 37 37 37 37 37 37 37 37 00 00 00 00 00 00 |7777777777......|
00000030 00 00 00 00 05 74 65 73 74 00 |.....test.|
0000003a
I'm using this c++ smpp library as a base:
https://github.com/onlinecity/cpp-smpp
I had to make some slight changes to get it working on windows, but I don't think anything was changed that could have affected this.
Someone else ran a test using a different account on the smpp server, and their test added an # symbol instead.
Any ideas what could be causing this? Thanks!

Found the problem in the end, it was due to an option in the smpp library that defaults to true, called nullTerminateOctetStrings
It was adding the 00 to the end of the message, sound slike this was required by the SMPP 3.4 standards, but our smsc didn't like it. I suppose ideally I would fix the smsc, but that's provided by a 3rd party, so I've just switched off the null terminate instead.
Someone with a similar problem and more info here: https://www.mail-archive.com/devel#kannel.3glab.org/msg06765.html

WFS_CMD_CDM_RESET results in WFS_SYSE_HARDWARE_ERROR

ATM is Wincor/Nixdorf model ProCash 1500xe USB.
i use CDM320.exe tool to test the dispense of the ATM. when i run Reset command under ExecuteAdmin menu i get the following output:

what's the problem and how can i resolve it?
This is probably a configuration issue or a genuine HW error like foreign object blocking sensor or a faulty sensor. Do you have a Wincor diagnostic software and if you do what it tells about the CDM?
PS. As I do not have experience from Wincor HW, this might be totally off the mark.

How to get the location and index of an Icon in a ".lnk" shortcut with SHGetFileInfo in C++

I am using C++ (VS 2012) on Win7x64 and am trying to get the location and index of an icon using SHGetFileInfo with SHGFI_ICONLOCATION like this:
SHFILEINFO info;
memset(&info, 0, sizeof(info));
DWORD_PTR result = SHGetFileInfo(_T("C:\\Users\\Admin\\Desktop\\test.lnk"), 0, &info, sizeof(SHFILEINFO), SHGFI_ICONLOCATION);
I get a 1 as result and after inspecting info.szDisplayName I see this:
0x0022CDE0 00 00 3a 00 5c 00 50 00 72 00 6f 00 ..:.\.P.r.o.
0x0022CDEC 67 00 72 00 61 00 6d 00 20 00 46 00 g.r.a.m. .F.
0x0022CDF8 69 00 6c 00 65 00 73 00 20 00 28 00 i.l.e.s. .(.
0x0022CE04 78 00 38 00 36 00 29 00 5c 00 54 00 x.8.6.).\.T.
0x0022CE10 65 00 73 00 74 00 5c 00 54 00 65 00 e.s.t.\.T.e.
0x0022CE1C 73 00 74 00 2e 00 65 00 78 00 65 00 s.t...e.x.e.
0x0022CE28 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ............
0x0022CE34 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ............
What I find strange is that although the string info.szDisplayName appears empty due to the 00 00 at the start, the call to SHGetFileInfo seems to have filled in the entire path correctly and then replaced the drive letter in it with a 00 00 making it an "empty" string.
What I also have noticed is that when I choose a different icon from a different executable it appears to work alright. But when I then create a shortcut to that different executable and use the icon from it that worked before it again returns this "empty" string.
It seems to work sort of crisscross with the locations of the executable and the icon, but with the icon being from the same executable it always seems to exhibit this strange behaviour. The only exception to this is the index of the icon.
It does not matter if an executable has only one or many icons, but when I use an icon with an index greater than 0, it does fill in the location correctly and the index as well, even though the location of the executable and the icon in the shortcut is the same.
Why is SHGetFileInfo filling in icon.szDisplayName as an "empty" string when in the shortcut the location of the icon is the same as the executable and the index is 0?

Detecting Memory Leaks in C++ Windows application

I have a C++ windows application which has some memory leak issues. Is it possible to analyze the memory leak from the dump using NTSD ? If so please guide me how to do that ?
I have also heard that we can do it using User Mode Dump. I am not very familiar with finding leaks in windows. It is very easy in Linux with Valgrind.
Is there any other better options to check this ?
see here for details about Visual Leak Detector. I have used it on Windows.
all you do in your application is to
#include <vld.h>
and you will see a report about detected leaks in terminal when debugging your program, something like this:

I've had great success tracking down memory and resource leaks with DrMemory. It works with both GCC and MSVC and it's very straight forward to use.

How to programmatically load a Java card applet ( a .cap file ) using Visual C++/PCSC

I am currentlly on a project that requires me to load a JavaCard application Applet ( a .cap ) file to a JavaCard. Our framework is based on Visual C++ and PCSC, so we need to load the same applet to a series of JavaCards. Does anyone know how this can be processed? I mean, where should I start. Thanks!
You are correct that this is not a trivial job.
There are differences between different javacards, but generally you need to do 4 things:
initialize secure communications with the card (because many javacards are "global platform" cards they require a secure channel)
send a command saying "i wanna install an applet"
send the binary data for the applet to be installed
send a command to "instantiate" the applet after the binary data is sent
I'd recommend using the eclipse plugin to install the applet initially, because you can see the APDUs generated by the plugin to do the steps above. Once you know the APDU commands you must send to install your applet, you can directly send these commands using the PCSC interface from your C++ code to automate installation on a large number of cards.
My company makes a web browser plugin called Card Boss for doing this kind of thing (card communications via pcsc) from a browser - there's a web page you can use where you can type your own APDUs and send them to the card at the follwing URL:
https://cardboss.cometway.com/content.agent?page_name=Card+Boss+Lab
If you use our tool, your applet installation script should look something like this (note that this is a script for a JCOP card using the default jcop keys)

I am trying to use Visual Leak Detector in Visual Studio 2008, here is an example of the output I get:

The user's guide says to click on any line to jump to the corresponding file/line of code ; I tried clicking on every line but nothing happens! What am I missing?
Did you compile your code with optimization off and debug information on? Without this, it's unlikely to be able to link the addresses to your actual source code.
It could also be that the leak is occurring in code for which it can't find the source (for example an included library).
You should use deleaker. it must help you.
