I'm having problems installing Auto CAD and 3D Max on Windows 8.1. It's giving me an error saying that it "could not get the debug privilege" and asking "are you admin?".



What should I do?

  • It's telling you that you are not the administrator and therefore are not allowed to do the operation

  • Are the versions of the software Windows 8.1 compliant? Version info on the applications may give you a better answer.

When you run a program Windows inherits the privileges from the parent process. The shell runs with lower privileges, so all programs also run with lower privileges (filtered token) because of the UAC.



To Run a program as admin, you have to make a right click and select "Run as administrator".

  • run the local security policy MMC snapin and look if the debug privilege is assigned to the admin group.

When does type information flow backwards in C++?

Image
up vote 62 down vote favorite 19 I just watched Stephan T. Lavavej talk at CppCon 2018 on "Class Template Argument Deduction", where at some point he incidentally says: In C++ type information almost never flows backwards ... I had to say "almost" because there's one or two cases, possibly more but very few . Despite trying to figure out which cases he might be referring to, I couldn't come up with anything. Hence the question: In which cases the C++17 standard mandates that type information propagate backwards? c++ language-lawyer c++17 share | improve this question edited 7 hours ago scohe0
