DPMI and ISO C++ ??

[SteveC]

Hi everyone

Is there any way to use DPMI in ISO C++ ? (I use Borland C++ for
example).

Here's the code for DJGPP:
my_video_ds=__dpmi_allocate_ldt_descriptors(1);

__dpmi_set_segment_base_address(my_video_ds,0xA000+__djgpp_conventional_base);
__dpmi_set_segment_limit(my_video_ds,2000000);
How would this look like in ISO C++ ?

Thanks in advance

Steve

Hello Steve,

this is comp.lang.c, not comp.lang.c++;
I do not know whether your request is topical there as we only
do ISO C9X.

I recommend having a look at a newsgroup's welcome message, charter
(if there is one) and FAQ before posting a request.
Having a look at the messages of the last couple of days gives you
an idea of how to post -- and maybe, your question is already
answered there.


Cheers
Michael

Ok then... sorry for 'misposting' I'm pretty new to Google Groups.

Nope. Platform specific stuff like this will always fall outside the
langauge spec. Depending on the compiler you're using DPMI access via
a C library could be implemented in any number of different ways.
comp.lang.asm.x86 or comp.os.msdos.programmer would be able to help
you

Thank you.

This isn't google groups. Google has made a mess lately of what
this really is, Usenet, or newsgroups to many. I love their search
engine, but they are clueless about news.
