Any programmers can answer me a simple C++ question?

OK so I'd like to run some C++ instructions found in some .h files within AMD's ADL SDK package.

I think these commands can retrieve heap of info on the GPU and also manipulate driver settings and other stuff like thermal throttling etc etc.

Since I know nothing about C++, can somebody tell me how to use these files? Do I need Visual Studio or can I use the command prompt? etc etc

Here's some of what they contain;

Here goes compilers

If you has no C++ knowledge better ask someone... Are there .c or .cpp files? .h files contains only definitions...

I found SDK`s download page. And - "The SDK can be used from both unmanaged (C/C++) and managed (C#) applications. Documents and Samples are provided in the download package."

Edit: I`ve looked into ADL package, and if you want to dig into that staff yourself you definitely need Microsoft VisualStudio Express as sources in ADL package definitely were organized with VisualStudio.

 

I am asking, that's the whole point of this thread.
And yes there are .cpp files, unmanaged/managed means nothing to me.....no idea what that is.

 

I can build all projects in that bundle for you

If that is what you are asking...

And "managed" means that you can ask not only C-programmers but C#-programmers as well

Edit: If you`ll decide to install VisualStudio and build projects yourself, .sln files are "solution" files, you open them in VisualStudio and explore project`s tree, properties...

 

This is what the .c and .cpp files contain; is there an API I can use or some way to run these commands?

 

.h files contain whole API - constants, structures, functions. Functions are implemented in dlls. You write c++-source file that uses these functions, structures, constants, and compile it into exe.

Edit: I can provide you the PowerShell script which will hold ADL API, so instead of programming in C++ you could write scripts.

 

That would be helpful thanks.

 

OK. I`ll investigate ADL package, but don`t expect quick results as I have AMD videocard at work, but work will be closed at 1-5 of May (and 9-12 too).
