I need to translate a C program to C by making variables in structures private(no classes yet!) and putting public inline functions. There's a good chance that I have much more problems with my code than I'm asking right now, but I have 4 spots that I'm currently stuck in and can't access properly.
My structures:
Code: struct Container
{
private:
int count;
char** lines;
int nlines;

How do i access the private array? I tried this and it's not working. Want i want to do is create class object in main and pass the string to constructor, and set m_make, m_model to that string. Then call the member function to output that.
const int BUFLEN = 256;
// class declaration
class CVehicle
{
[Code].....
I am trying to access the private member from main . The code is as follow. I wanted to call below function from main.
uint16_t Modbus::calcCRC(uint8_t u8length)
#define MAX_BUFFER 64
typedef struct {
[Code]....
Basically, I've got one object which has to access private data in another object... and can't.
Here's the specifics: I'm writing a little war game program where players deploy units (soldiers, tanks, planes, etc.) onto a gameboard. Players and Units are modeled as objects:
Code:
class GameUnit {
public:
string GetName() {return Name;}
protected:
string Name;
};
class Player {
[Code] ....
Here's the problem: In the above code, Player's ListUnits() function doesn't work because Player can't access GameUnit's GetName() function.
Specifically, here's the compiler's error message:
Code:
In file included from Main.cpp:18:
Player.h: In member function 'void Player::ListUnits()':
Player.h:47: error: 'GetName' undeclared (first use this function)
Player.h:47: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once for each function it appears in.)
I've tested enough to realize that the problem is the GameUnit::GetName() function is a public function within the GameUnit object. Why can't a Player call this function? Making both friend classes of each other doesn't work.
Let's say I have the following class:
class MyClass {
private:
int m_myInt;
public:
int myInt() {return this->m_myInt;};
int myFunc();
};
Which of the following is to prefer;
int MyClass::myFunc() {
return 2*this->m_myInt;
}
or
int MyClass::myFunc() {
return 2*this->myInt();
}
The second one seems better? Are both OK? What's the best practice?
i have seen many c++ programs, where the private members from a header file are accessed in the source file. why is happening? As to my knowledge a private member cannot be accessed until it is friend function or member.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI've been reading the tutorials on Friendship and Inheritance [URL] ..... but I still don't understand why I can't access members of the same struct type.
bool wordBeginsAt (int pos) {
if (pos == 0)
return true;
///use the 'message' string
Message go;
return isAlphanumeric(go.messageText[pos]) && (!isAlphanumeric(go.messageText[pos-1]));
}
The code above is located in a source file, where the function isAlphanumeric passes a char value, and Message is the struct containing the string I want to access. Below is the declaration of the struct and string located in the corresponding header file.
struct Message{
.
.
.
private:
std::string messageText;
};
My frustration comes when I try to call and assign messageText like the tutorial does to its private members, but I keep getting an error saying I can't access the string because it is a private member. Is there a way to access the string without having to pass it through the function wordBeginsAt?
I have a header file that declares some fields as private, I then have a class that I need to compare two of the objects' information for equality but neither of them are the calling objects. I cannot alter the header file. How would I go about comparing private data fields? I will enter a brief bit of code for clarity.
Code: // Header File
// stuff.h
class stuff
{
private:
int* arr[20];
int size;
};
bool equal (const stuff& a, const stuff& b);

void Player::Display() const

cout << "

Grade: " << GetGrade() << "

}
The problem occurs in here, I get access violations, is there a way to this while keeping Display const or is this code valid and my problem is somewhere else and not being caught in the debugger? I tried to make the return types const - but that didn't work .....
//Getters need const twice for this to work?
const char* Player::GetName() const {return m_name;}
const int Player::GetGrade() const {return m_grade;}
const double Player::GetGPA() const {return m_gpa;}

I am writing a bit-check function just to make it easier on myself to check status flags in my classes. I use char variables and each bit represents something on or off. Since I have numerous classes that will use this functionality, it makes sense to write and compile the code only one time rather than for each class. I was thinking of writing the function and including it as a "friend" function to each class that needs it. Is that an appropriate way to do it?

I have 2 structs in another file, the main, and want to make an instance of the arr variable, in a separate header, for each.
I've been attempting to create a game with curses and I keep running into the problem of scope. I want to change or use variables of a different class in a different header file. But I don't know if I should use pointers, references or neither. Should I be programming in a manner that doesn't make it necessary to use variables outside of their class?

I have two classes, a Package class and a Person class. The Package class has two Person objects has member variables, a Sender and a Receiver. While overloading the << operator for the Package class so that it will make an output label from everything in the Package class. Here is my code...

Why do you use Private fields in a class if an outside class can change the private fields using get and set properties?

now My concerns is that though the function f() in B was private it gets called by the pointer of class A as it is a virtual function

I have a class (Quadtree) and three inner class inside (Node, Inner and Leaf). Inner and Leaf inherit from Node.
I have a function in the private scope of Quadtree.
All these are located in fun.h .
Then, in fun.cpp, I am implementing the function (which is named foo <- what a prototype name!), which takes as argument a pointer to an Inner object. Inner seems unable to be resolved however!

How can you actually create private fields in a C struct? I got the concept of VTable and inheriting methods aswell overriding them, but private variables can be obtained with static keyword in sourcefile. If you have variables in a struct, you can access them as soon as you got a ref to the struct. The functions are easy:
Code:
struct classA {
pointerToFunction *p;
} static void* thePrivateFoo() { }
void* publicFoo() {
thePrivateFoo(); /* or something like that */
} ...
/*in init code somewhere in the c file */ classAInstance->p = publicFoo;
But I was thinking about the variables... How is this achievable? I was thinking of a struct with only get/set functions and with no datamembers at all. All vars to be static outside the struct. But this kind of destroys the encapsulation.
I want to make a destructor counter...So it needs to be outside that specific instance of the class. And i want to keep it hidden. I don't want to be able to access it from outside the class...I Don't want main.cpp to have access to this variable
Is there a way to do this?
static int destructorCount;
