i.e. - int function(char* txt) { sprintf(txt, "select * from %s;", table); //How do I set last char in buffer to NULL here? } so if the text in table some how was 500 chars long and txt in the main was only defined as 100.... thanks. ...
Having some maps defined as: var valueToSomeType = map[uint8]someType{...} var nameToSomeType = map[string]someType{...} I would want a variable that points to the address of the maps (to don't copy all variable). I tried it using: valueTo := &valueToSomeType nameTo := &nameToSomeType but at using valueTo[number], it shows internal...
Cosider the following code: class Foo { Monster* monsters[6]; Foo() { for (int i = 0; i < 6; i++) { monsters[i] = new Monster(); } } virtual ~Foo(); } What is the correct destructor? this: Foo::~Foo() { delete [] monsters; } or this: Foo::~Foo() { for (int i = 0; i...
I think I understand references and pointers pretty well. Here is what I (think I) know: int i = 5; //i is a primitive type, the value is 5, i do not know the address. int *ptr; //a pointer to an int. i have no way if knowing the value yet. ptr = &i; //now i have an address for the value of i (called ptr) *ptr = 10; //Go to the value...
Language : C++ Platform : Windows Server 2003 I have an exe calling a DLL. EDIT : (exe is not doing anything, it calls few global function which does everything related to DLL within DLL. It does not explicitly new any of DLL classes) I allocate (new) the memory for class A within the DLL, it returns me a non-local heap pointer. I...
I have three classes: class Rtss_Generator { int mv_transfersize; } class Rtss_GenSine : Rtss_Generator class Rtss_GenSineRpm : Rtss_GenSine Rtss_GenSine creates a thread in his constructer, it is started immediatly and the threadfunction is off-course declared static, waiting for an event to start calculating. the problem: all t...
I'm wondering if anyone can explain the following to me: If I write int i = 0; float* pf = i; I get a compile error (gcc 4.2.1): error: invalid conversion from ‘int’ to ‘float*’ Makes sense - they are obviously two completely different types. But if instead I write const int i = 0; float* pf = i; It compiles without error. Wh...
Dear all, I'm a beginner programmer in C++. Recently, I'm working on image processing thing using C++. but I have some problem that I want to ask. Suppose I have some code as follow: for (int i=0;i<100000;i++) { int * a = new int[10000]; //do something delete [] a; } When I executed that code, I receive runtime error, Heap Err...
What is purpose of this keyword. Doesn't the methods in a class have access to other peer members in the same class ? What is the need to call a this to call peer methods inside a class? ...
I have the following code #include <iostream> #include <vector> class Entity { public: virtual void func() = 0; }; class Monster : public Entity { public: void func(); }; void Monster::func() { std::cout << "I AM A MONSTER" << std::endl; } class Buddha : public Entity { public: void func(); }; void Buddha::func() { std...
Given the following x86 assembly instructions: mov esi, offset off_A cmp esi, offset off_B how would I get the offsets (the second operand) at runtime ? This is the scenario: A program (injected into the process at runtime) replaces the offsets with a few of its own, resulting in: mov esi, offset off_X cmp esi, offset...
I would like to write an address in a text file, which can be read by fscanf and dereferenced by C after reading the pointer. How do I write the address in the file? edit: i don't mean to be rude, but i know that this is exactly what i need, so if anyone can please just list the answer, and not ethical reasons for why i shouldn't be doi...
Following an hot comment thread in another question, I came to debate of what is and what is not defined in C99 standard about C arrays. Basically when I define a 2D array like int a[5][5], does the standard C99 garantee or not that it will be a contiguous block of ints, can I cast it to (int *)a and be sure I will have a valid 1D array...
The question at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1145722/simulating-pointers-in-python asking how to simulate pointers in Python had a nice suggestion in the solutions, namely to do class ref: def __init__(self, obj): self.obj = obj def get(self): return self.obj def set(self, obj): self.obj = obj which can then be use...
I have a fairly good understanding of the dereferencing operator, the address of operator, and pointers in general. I however get confused when I see stuff such as this: int* returnA() { int *j = &a; return j; } int* returnB() { return &b; } int& returnC() { return c; } int& returnC2() { int *d = &c; return *...
I need help with malloc() inside another function. I'm passing a pointer and size to the function from my main() and I would like to allocate memory for that pointer dynamically using malloc() from inside that called function, but what I see is that.... the memory, which is getting allocated, is for the pointer declared within my called...
I'm trying to create a structure array which links input strings to classes as follows: struct {string command; CommandPath cPath;} cPathLookup[] = { {"set an alarm", AlarmCommandPath}, {"send an email", EmailCommandPath}, {"", NULL} }; which will be used as follows: CommandPath *cPath = NULL; string input; getline(cin, i...
Hi Guys, yesterday I had posted a question: How should I pass a pointer to a function and allocate memory for the passed pointer from inside the called function? From the answers I got, I was able to understand what mistake I was doing. I'm facing a new problem now, can anyone help out with this? I want to dynamically allocate a 2D ar...
I'm making a thread class to use as a wrapper for pthreads. I have a Queue class to use as a queue, but I'm having trouble with it. It seems to allocate and fill the queue struct fine, but when I try to get the data from it, it Seg. faults. http://pastebin.com/Bquqzxt0 (the printf's are for debugging, both throw seg faults) edit: the q...
i intend to fill a char-pointer array successively in a for-loop. the content to fill in is a integer so i need to cast. but i didn't get the result i want to.. for (i=0;i<max0;i++){ sprintf(buf, "%d", content[i]); } sprintf replaces the hole buf, but i want to append. for (i=0;i<max0;i++){ buf[i]=(char) contint[i] } but th...
