GetModuleFileName from MSI - c++

I try use the "GetModuleFileName" to get current "setup.msi" location use mydll.dll in setup.msi installer.
But always give me "c:\windows\system\setup.msi".
Any body know why ? Plx help .

You mention C++ so I'm assuming that you are creating a Type 1 custom action as described here. If this is so, I'm guessing that you are trying to figure out where the install is occurring from so you can reference a file or something. If so, check out the MsiGetProperty function and the OriginalDatabase property. If that doesn't meet your needs checkout the the MsiSourceList* functions starting with MsiSourceListGetInfo.

(ROS) Failed to create global planner

My setup is: ROS melodic, Ubuntu: 18.04
I want simulate turtlebot3 moving with my own global planner and have been following this tutorial to get started: http://wiki.ros.org/navigation/Tutorials/Writing%20A%20Global%20Path%20Planner%20As%20Plugin%20in%20ROS#Running_the_Plugin_on_the_Turtlebot. The tutorial seem to be made for ROS hydro, but as it was the best source of guidance I could find I hoped it would work.
The error I'm having is:
Failed to create the global_planner/GlobalPlanner planner, are you sure it is properly registered and that the containing library is built? Exception: MultiLibraryClassLoader: Could not create object of class type global_planner::GlobalPlanner as no factory exists for it. Make sure that the library exists and was explicitly loaded through MultiLibraryClassLoader::loadLibrary()
To my knowledge I've followed the tutorial as much as possible with a only a few things done differently because I wanted to test it, couldn't do as the tutorial asked, or because I thought it wouldn't impact the results. What I have done differently is:
I use the carrot_planner.h and carrot_planner.cpp files in the tutorial section 1 to test that it works before trying with my own code to avoid confusion about where possible errors come from. It's not 'different' from the tutorial to my knowledge, but figured I'd mention it. They are placed in catkin_ws/src/carrot_planner/src/global_planner/
The ros package I'm working from is in catkin_ws/src and is called the carrot_planner. In the tutorial step 1.3 I use add_library(global_planner_lib src/global_planner/carrot_planner.cpp). Would not imagine it affects the results either.
In section 3 of the tutorial it mentions that 'First, you need to copy the package that contains your global planner (in our case global_planner) into the catkin workspace of your Turtlebot (e.g. catkin_ws).' Since my package was already in catkin_ws/src/ I haven't moved it since I guess I didn't need to.
I've altered the 'move_base.launch' file in '/opt/ros/melodic/share/turtlebot3_navigation/launch/' instead of the 'move_base.launch.xml' in '/opt/ros/hydro/share/turtlebot_navigation/launch/includes/' as there doesn't seem to be a destination '...turtlebot3_navigation/launch/includes/'. There are files in launch, but no includes folder. Maybe that a difference from Hydro to Melodic, I don't know. There may be a whole lot of things that need to be done differently from the tutorial when using Melodic, or with turtlebot3, but I don't know.
I haven't made my own launch file for bringup of the turtlebot, but have instead followed this tutorial (https://emanual.robotis.com/docs/en/platform/turtlebot3/nav_simulation/) to guide me with turtlebot3. After finishing this step in the global planner tutorial 'Save and close the move_base.launch.xml. Note that the name of the planner is global_planner/GlobalPlanner the same specified in global_planner_plugin.xml. Now, you are ready to use your new planner' I tested whether it worked by running: 'roslaunch turtlebot3_gazebo turtlebot3_world.launch' and then I tried running: 'roslaunch turtlebot3_navigation turtlebot3_navigation.launch map_file:=$HOME/map.yaml' which led to the error I showed above. I have created the map-yaml, so there's no misunderstanding whether that's missing.
I would be very glad for any help, thank you ^^
Edit: My system only had 'navfn' on it, not 'global_planner' or 'carrot_planner', if that makes a difference.
After looking over the code I found a solution. It doesn't make everything work perfectly yet, but seems to solve the immediate problem.
The problem was that in my 'global_planner_plugin.xml' I just used the code provided in the tutorial:
<library path="lib/libglobal_planner_lib">
<class name="global_planner/GlobalPlanner" type="global_planner::GlobalPlanner" base_class_type="nav_core::BaseGlobalPlanner">
<description>This is a global planner plugin by iroboapp project.</description>
</class>
</library>
But in the carrot_planner.cpp file it says:
PLUGINLIB_EXPORT_CLASS(carrot_planner::CarrotPlanner, nav_core::BaseGlobalPlanner)
Changing type="global_planner::GlobalPlanner to type="carrot_planner::CarrotPlanner and then launching turtlebot3 doesn't give the same error anymore.

C++ generate new EC_KEY using OpenSSL 1.1.1n

I'm very new to this OpenSSL stuff and trying to learn my way through it. I want to generate an ec key but its keep failing to generate. I'm currently using OpenSSL 1.1.1n and here's a snippet based on understaning of EC_Key through documentation and from other people's example online:
EC_KEY* key = EC_KEY_new_by_curve_name(NID_secp521r1);
if (!key)
{
ERROR
}
EC_GROUP* ecgroup = EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name(NID_secp521r1);
if (ecgroup)
{
printf("ECGROUP IS NOT NULL!\n");
if (EC_KEY_set_group(key, ecgroup) != 1)
{
ERROR
}
}
if (EC_KEY_generate_key(key) != 1) //<-- fails at this function
{
ERROR
}
Maybe this piece of code is from an older version of OpenSSL but I don't see that function being mentioned in a change log. Any help would be really appreciated! Thanks in advance!
Edit:
Thanks for Jakob's answer I was able to get some more information about the failure by using ERR_get_error() function. The error I see now is
error:2406C06E:random number generator:RAND_DRBG_instantiate:error retrieving entropy
The manual states:
EC_KEY_generate_key() generates a new public and private key for the
supplied eckey object. eckey must have an EC_GROUP object associated
with it before calling this function. [...]
Did you associate an EC_GROUP with the key before calling the function? There is a function called EC_KEY_set_group() which can be used to add a group object. Such an object can be created with the EC_GROUP_new().
By the way is there a reason, why you are still using OpenSSL 1.1.1. I would recommend using the latest version of the library OpenSSL 3.0. Even if you only want to learn stuff, it is probably more useful, if you immediately learn the newer version.
Edit
I do not know, what is behind your ERROR macro, but it might be a good idea to learn the OpenSSL error handling system. There are functions like ERR_print_errors() that maybe could have given you a hint about what was going wrong.
Answering myself in case someone is having this same issue.
I was able to get around this problem by building OpenSSl with no-shared flag. I'm not sure how that is affecting the lib in getting an entropy but that's the parameter that made the EC_KEY_generate_key() work.
Here's my working configuration command:
perl Configure no-shared VC-WIN32

MySQL Item_field::fix_fields function context object

source code file:https://github.com/mysql/mysql-server/blob/5.6/sql/item.cc#L5381
function:bool Item_field::fix_fields
guys,I am a c++ beginner.i am trying use GDB to debug mysql.
now,I have a question:
in this function Item_field::fix_fields(),i found a object called "context->first_name_resolution_table":
from_field= find_field_in_tables(thd, this,
context->first_name_resolution_table,
context->last_name_resolution_table,
reference,
thd->lex->use_only_table_context ?
REPORT_ALL_ERRORS :
IGNORE_EXCEPT_NON_UNIQUE,
!any_privileges, TRUE);
but I checked the function context.I could not find it。Can someone tell me that Why the context appear here.
thank you very much!
context comes from “this” object.

Alternative of CreateVideoSource() in webrtc

Hi all I had seen one webrtc old source code which has this method called CreateVideoSource() for adding streams after an CreateAudioTrack() call.
rtc::scoped_refptr<webrtc::VideoTrackSourceInterface> video_source =
peer_connection_factory_->CreateVideoSource(std::unique_ptr<cricket::VideoCapturer>(
media_source->GetVideoCapturer()),
NULL);
What's happening is whenever I try to build it gives an error for the above CreateVideoSource() that it is undefined. And the reason behind that is the latest webrtc-checkout has deprecated this.
So my question is, I wanted to know the alternative which they have introduced after deprecating this method. So can anyone tell me what the alternate approach is.
Okay, Finally I was able to come up with an alternative(i.e the current implementation of libwebrtc) after looking into bundle examples and tests.
Line 71 is a good point to start

What has to be Glib::init()'ed in order to use Glib::wrap?

So I'm trying to make use of a GtkSourceView in C++ using GtkSourceViewmm, whose documentation and level of support give me the impression that it hasn't been very carefully looked at in a long time. But I'm always an optimist :)
I'm trying to add a SourceView using some code similar to the following:
Glib::RefPtr<gtksourceview::SourceLanguageManager> source_language_manager = gtksourceview::SourceLanguageManager::create();
Glib::RefPtr<gtksourceview::SourceLanguage> source_language = Glib::wrap(gtk_source_language_manager_guess_language(source_language_manager->gobj(), file, NULL));
Glib::RefPtr<gtksourceview::SourceBuffer> source_buffer = gtksourceview::SourceBuffer::create(source_language);
gtksourceview::SourceView* = m_source_view = new gtksourceview::SourceView(source_buffer);
m_vbox.pack_start(*m_source_view);
Unfortunately, it spits out the warning
(algoviz:4992): glibmm-WARNING **:
Failed to wrap object of type
'GtkSourceLanguage'. Hint: this error
is commonly caused by failing to call
a library init() function.
and when I look at it in a debugger, indeed the second line above (the one with the Glib::wrap()) is returning NULL. I have no idea why this is, but I tried to heed the warning by adding Glib::init() to the begining of the program, but that didn't seem to help at all either.
I've tried Google'ing around, but have been unsuccessful. Does anyone know what Glib wants me to init in order to be able to make that wrap call? Or, even better, does anyone know of any working sample code that uses GtkSourceViewmm (not just regular GtkSourceView)? I haven't been able to find any actual sample code, not even on Google Code Search.
Thanks!
It turns out, perhaps not surprisingly, that what I needed to init was:
gtksourceview::init();
After this, I ran into another problem with one of the parameter to gtksourceview::SourceLanguageManager, but this was caused by a genuine bug which I subsequently reported and was promptly fixed. So everything's working great now!
I use gtkmm. Typically you have to initialize things with something like :
_GTKMain = new Gtk::Main(0, 0, false);
Of course do not forget :
delete _GTKMain;
Check here for details :
