About this tag
Discussions tagged with c++ programming on WindowsForum.com cover low-level hardware access and compatibility issues with Windows. One thread addresses an access violation when iterating through SCSI slots using the Windows API, involving CreateFile, SRB_IO_CONTROL, and FIRMWARE_REQUEST_BLOCK structures. Another thread describes a 32-bit C and C++ application that closes immediately on Windows 7, Server 2008, and Server 2012, but runs on XP, suggesting security features or API changes may be responsible. These topics reflect common challenges in C++ development for Windows, including direct hardware communication and legacy application compatibility.
