<t>My error, their not called Vtables. I'm not sure of the exact name of them, but they are created by the compiler and used at runtime for type checking because the compiler can't possible know what you going to assign to them until runtime. It's called runtime binding, but I'm not exactly sure of ...

<t>The benchmark says that XL FORTRAN 77 and XL Fortran 90 is used for comparison...which one. And why are they using a 100 MHz PII. I find it to be fishy. I've seen websites that say that Java is on par with C/C++ and will eventually overthrow it, which is B.S.. But I think we can both agree that F...

<t>I'm sorry Jim, but your absolutely nuts if you think that C/C++ is faster or can even compare with the speed and efficiency of Fortran! Not in this lifetime buddy!The only way C/C++ can begin to approach Fotran's speed and effeciency is if it uses fortran dll's or compiles Fortran libraries and l...

<t>I personally think that C++ does a disserves to C. I beleive it's only a matter of time before C++ is phased out. For those of you that think C++ is more effecient, name one operating system written in C++. Windows, Unix, Solaris all written in C. Some univerisity are trying to write object orien...

<t>My whole point is to avoid automation(COM...COM+...ole...ActiveX...whatever you want to call it...microsoft changes it's name once a year for a reason I yet have determined ) It's all the same stuff... basically it's nothing but an interface.A varaint is nothing more than a wrapped SafeArray(auto...

<t>I find the excel solver to be very usefull a lot of times. However, if I have a complex spreedsheet it can be slow and if things get to complicated it will not converge to a solution... unless I play around with the boundary conditions of the variables... sometimes this can take a long time. If I...

<t>I'm writtng a function in a dll. I would like to pass a Range from excel to my dll. I DON'T want to use automation because it's slow and a completely ridiculous concept! And I'm sure as hell not writting an xll, I would like to be done some time this year! I also want to minimize the amount VBA c...

Where are u people from? He's had over a 70% approval rating for over a year now(way before Iraq was in the headlines).

<r>You can Dowload the Borland Command line compiler for <URL url="http://www.borland.com">www.borland.com</URL>. Definitely the best free C/C++ compiler out there.I think matlab sucks. It's way to slow(compiles at runtime).Mathmatica is good if your a math major. Otherwise the learning curve to lea...

<t>1)Create a safearray in a C dll and have the dll return it.2)Put a Declare Function statement in a VBA module.3)Call my functionThat's how I would do it if I hade to do it in C. QUICK AND EASY!P.S.However, I write my dll's for excel in fortran because it's the quickest language know to man for nu...
