What functions does _WinMainCRTStartup perform?
I just started to dive into windows programming. And when I tried to understand the win 32 program I noticed that the program has two entry points which are _tmainCRTStartup and _WinMainCRTStartup. Besides, I found the _tmainCRTStartup function also called _WinMain function. I just wonder what are they used for? And why there are two different entry points.
Thanks!

Right now I'm merging two codes with the same core, but they differentiate with the #defines, what I need is to make a way around it an choose wicth configuration I need on run time, the code uses if ENABLE(defined) to verify the configurations to load, how can I modify the code to make it work?
Thanks
You can't. Macro are pre-processor. They are gone during compilation.
Variables are the best choice.

How do I find the L2CacheSize, L3CacheSize from C++ on Windows7? [duplicate]

I am profiling my code on various CPUs running Windows7 and my results so far suggest that I need to tune a buffer size proportional to the machine's L2CacheSize or L3CacheSize. Is there a way to obtain these parameters from C++?
You can use the GetLogicalProcessorInformation function to get that. It returns an array of SYSTEM_LOGICAL_PROCESSOR_INFORMATION structures which contain a CACHE_DESCRIPTOR structure, which provides the cache size information.

Is there a library that can be implemented relatively easily in windows?
I made a few functions a while ago which used arrays of numbers to get the desired outcome. I might work at them when I get the time.
But is there any such feature already available that can be implemented into c++ easily?
Apparently people have had luck with using the GNU Multiple Precision Arithmetic Library for Windows.

Hello.
I have a programme that has about 100 classes and more than 1000 functions spread over 20 header and source code files. What I want to know is that how I can pass arguments to so many functions in so many files? What is the procedure adopted for this in main()?
Regards,
Supriyo
Take a look at the Boost.Program_options module.
