What is document-view architecture? Give me one real time example for SDI?

Answer:

A MFC application is created using different classes. Each of the class has given a distinct responsibility.

1. Frame window class - Represents the application window.

2. View class- Represents the data to the user in specific understandable format.

3. Document class – Represents the applications data.( Program data used by application during its execution).

MFC architecture allows user to represent the data as documents in different views (formats ex. Charts, tabular,

textual). View(s) are attached to the application frame window.

SDI Example: Let us say we have a application with name MySDI..

In SDI application we have following major classes derive.

CMySDIApp-Application class derived from CWinApp.

e) CMainFrame - Frame Window class derived from CFrameWnd

f) CMySDIView - View class derived from CView (Can have multiple classes)

g) CMainDoc - Document class derived from CDocument.

Above three classes are bind together using a Template class called as CSingleDocTemplate.

Explain Polymorphism and Flavors of Polymorphism...

Polymorphism is the ability of different objects to react in an individual manner to the same message. This notion was imported from natural languages. For example, the verb "to close" means different things when applied to different objects. Closing a door, closing a bank account, or closing a program's window are all different actions; their exact meaning is determined by the object on which the action is performed. Most object-oriented languages implement polymorphism only in the form of virtual functions. But C++ has two more mechanisms of static (meaning: compile-time) polymorphism: Operator overloading. Applying the += operator to integers or string objects, for example, is interpreted by each of these objects in an individual manner. Obviously, the underlying implementation of += differs in every type. Yet, intuitively, we can predict what results are. Templates. A vector of integers, for example, reacts differently from a vector of string objects when it receives ...

• Why might you need exception handling be used in the constructor when memory allocation is involved?

Your first reaction should be: "Never use memory allocation in the constructor." Create a separate initialization function to do the job. You cannot return from the constructor and this is the reason you may have to use exception handling mechanism to process the memory allocation errors. You should clean up whatever objects and memory allocations you have made prior to throwing the exception, but throwing an exception from constructor may be tricky, because memory has already been allocated and there is no simple way to clean up the memory within the constructor.

• What are the advantage and disadvantage of using exception handling?

Disadvantage is a slight overhead imposed by implementing of exception handling mechanism. Advantage is "bullet-proof" program. With exception handling you have a mechanism which guarantee you control over program behavior despite the errors that might be in your program. With try-catch block you control not even given block of the program, but also all underlying function calls.
