Only static and const varibles can be assign to a class?

I am learning C++. Just curious, can only static and constant varibles be assigned a value from within the class declaration? Is this mainly why when you assign values to normal members, they have a special way doing it void myClass::Init() : member1(0), member2(1) { } ...

Setting the initial value of a property when using DataContractSerializer

If I am serializing and later deserializing a class using DataContractSerializer how can I control the initial values of properties that were not serialized? Consider the Person class below.

Java: conditional initialization?

Ruby has conditional initialization. Apparently, Java does not or does it? I try to write more succintly, to limit the range as small as possible. import java.io.*; import java.util.*; public class InitFor{ public static void main(String[] args){ for(int i=7,k=999;i+((String h="hello").size())<10;i++){} ...

Using STL/Boost to initialize a hard-coded set<vector<int> >

Like this question already asked, I'd like to initialize a container using STL where the elements are hard-coded in the cleanest manner possible. In this case, the elements are a doubly nested container: set<vector<int> > A; And I'd like (for example) to put the following values in: A = [[0,0,1],[0,1,0],[1,0,0],[0,0,0]]; C++0x fine...

Init modules in apache2

Hello, I used to write apache modules in apache 1.3, but these days I am willing to pass to apache2. The module that I am writing at the moment has is own binary data, not a database, for performance purposes. I need to load this data in shared memory, so every child can access it without making his own copy, and it would be practical to...

How are Flash library symbols constructed? Why are width/height already available in constructor?

Suppose I draw a square on the stage, convert it to a symbol, export it for ActionScript with a classname of "MySquare" (and of course a base class of MovieClip). How is it that in the MySquare constructor, the width and height of this MovieClip are already available? In fact, any named instances in the clip are also available. I'm co...

Automatic initialization routine in C++ library?

If i have a header file foo.h and a source file foo.cpp, and foo.cpp contains something along the lines of: #ifdef WIN32 class asdf { asdf() { startup_code(); } ~asdf() { cleanup_code(); } }; asdf __STARTUP_HANDLE__ #else //unix does not require startup or cleanup code in this case #endif but foo.h does not define class asdf, sa...

Java: why is declaration not sufficient in interface?

Big class contains Format-interfcase and Format-class. The Format-class contains the methods and the interface has the values of the fields. I could have the fields in the class Format but the goal is with Interface. So do I just create dummy-vars to get the errors away, design issue or something ELSE? KEY: Declaration VS Initialisation...

initialising a 2-dim Array in Scala

(Scala 2.7.7:) I don't get used to 2d-Arrays. Arrays are mutable, but how do I specify a 2d-Array which is - let's say of size 3x4. The dimension (2D) is fixed, but the size per dimension shall be initializable. I tried this: class Field (val rows: Int, val cols: Int, sc: java.util.Scanner) { var field = new Array [Char](rows)(cols) ...

Java ArrayList initialization

I am aware that you can initialize an array during instantiation as follows: String[] names = new String[] {"Ryan", "Julie", "Bob"}; Is there a way to do the same thing with an ArrayList? Or must I add the contents individually with array.add()? Thanks, Jonathan ...

What is the fastest way to Initialize a multi-dimensional array to non-default values in .NET?

How do I initialize a multi-dimensional array of a primitive type as fast as possible? I am stuck with using multi-dimensional arrays. My problem is performance. The following routine initializes a 100x100 array in approx. 500 ticks. Removing the int.MaxValue initialization results in approx. 180 ticks just for the looping. Approximatel...

Object Deletion: use parent or not

Which one do you prefer to delete objects? Especially in QT, but other practices are also welcome. These two alternatives seem same to me, are they? 1.Bound to another class, and destroy when it is destroyed. SomeClass::SomeClass{ socket_ = new QTcpSocket(this); } or 2.Destroy in the destructor of class SomeClass::SomeClass{ soc...

best alternative to in-definition initialization of static class members? (for SVN keywords)

I'm storing expanded SVN keyword literals for .cpp files in 'static char const *const' class members and want to store the .h descriptions as similarly as possible. In short, I need to guarantee single instantiation of a static member (presumably in a .cpp file) to an auto-generated non-integer literal living in a potentially shared .h ...
