C++ :: Accessing Pointed-to Value In A Struct Vector Of Pointers?
Apr 30, 2013
I have a vector (structures) in a struct (instances). I make a declaration of this struct called instance. The vector is a 3-layer vector of pointers, like so:
vector < vector < vector<scene::IAnimatedMeshSceneNode*> > > structures; (The type is from Irrlicht 3D). I have 3 nested "for" loops which looks similar to the following:
for (int a = 0; a < instance.structures.size(); a++) { /*note:vector size previously set*/
for (int b = 0; b < instance.structures[a].size(); b++){
for (int c = 0; c < instance.structures[a][b].size(); c++) {
if (1) { //checking value of variable not included in snippet
(instance.structures)[a][b][c] = smgr->addAnimatedMeshSceneNode(fl);
(instance.structures)[a][b][c]->setPosition(renderPos);
}
}
}
}
The problem is in these two lines, I think:
(instance.structures)[a][b][c] = smgr->addAnimatedMeshSceneNode(fl);
(instance.structures)[a][b][c]->setPosition(renderPos);
These are currently referencing the pointers, it seems. The program compiles but crashes at this point. I need them to reference the values of the pointers. Problem is, I don't know where to put the dereference operator (*). Where should it go?

I have following:
struct Point {int* a; int b;};
vector<vector<Point> > numbers;
vector<int> example;
The numbers vector has a matrix of a sort and each of the members are pointing to one member in the example vector. A member numbers.at(2).at(3).a is pointing at example.at(3). Now, can I remotely delete a member in the example vector using the pointers? Like so:
delete (*(numbers.at(2).at(3).a));
I know there is a more convenient way to delete members, but this is a very specific case I'm working on.

"
#include <stdio.h>
struct datastructure {
char character;
};
void function(struct datastructure** ptr);
[Code] ....
These codes give these errors:
error: request for member 'character' in '* ptr', which is of non-class type 'datastructure*'
error: request for member 'character' in '* ptr', which is of non-class type 'datastructure*'
These errors are related to
"
*ptr->character='a';
printf("Ptr: %c",*ptr->character);
"
I want to access "character" data inside the structure "trial" by a pointer to pointer "ptr" inside function "function",but I couldn't find a way to do this.

I have a queue of structs. I would like to access one of the two pieces of data at the front of the queue that each struct maintains.
Here is some of my code:
#include <iostream>
#include <cmath>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <iomanip>
#include <queue>
using namespace std;
[Code] ....
What I am asking is how do I get the priority of the struct item at the front (lane1.front()), in this case?

The program I'm working on is a very basic relational database. I've isolated my problem for simplicity. I get a segfault right here when I try to access db->relationCount. I tried printing db->relationCount from within loadDB and that worked,
[code]
loadDB(db, configFile);
printf("%d",db->relationCount);
fflush(stdout);

I've been working for some number of days on this code to take information about movies from both a file and the user, store the infos in an array of structs, and at the end, write all the info out to a file. I'm having some problems with an error message reading:
"prog.c:102:11: error: subscripted value is neither array nor pointer nor vector"
this error occurs in many lines (which I will label specifically below -- they are everywhere where I am trying to access/modify an individual element of a struct element of the array).
A few examples of where I am having the problems are lines:
39, 52-55, 70, 72, and 86 (and more of the same exact variety).
I am obviously rather systematically doing something wrong, but I am quite certain all of these are the exact same mistakes.
I pull up also 2 or 3 other errors, but I don't think they are related and should be able to fix them quickly once I work out this conundrum.
#include <string.h>
#include<stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
int moviecount =0;
typedef struct{
int year;

I came across the below code snippet in a project and was not sure how value of variable "response" is computed. Here as we can see, pic_data holds two one dimensional arrays but "response" access both the single dimensional array as two dimensional array.
Code:
#define MAX 100
#define MAXBUF 100
u32 response;
u32 index;
}

I'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've recently been learning GTK (though this question is not specific to GTK), and came across a situation that I was unsure how to best handle. Essentially, I've defined several pointers in one source file, and I want to access those pointers from other source files.
The structure of my GTK programs generally follow this pattern:
- "main.c": Define the main window and run GTK main
- "create_window.c": Create and arrange widget pointers in the main window
- "program_functions.c": All other source code for the project (several source files in reality)
In "create_window.c", I declare and define all my widget pointers (e.g. label). If I need to modify those widgets in "program_functions.c" for any reason (say, to change the value of a label), I need access to the pointers created in "create_window.c".
My first thought was to create a global struct of pointers in "create_window.c", and extern that struct to the other source files that need access to the pointers. The thing I don't like about this approach is spreading globals across my program.
My second idea was to create access functions in "create_window.c" where the necessary pointers are statically stored. The first time I call this function (immediately after creating a widget), a static copy of that pointer is stored in the function. Each time afterwards when I call that function (from other source files), I simply use that static pointer to access the widget of interest.
Example:
Code: void edit_label_1(GtkWidget *label_set, const char *string)
{
static GtkWidget *label = NULL;
[Code].....
Are either one of the approaches considered acceptable by standard practice?

I currently have a file which allows inputs to record different transistor types. I then have the task of accessing this structure, find a certain manufacturer ID, and print the information about this particular transistor.
My problem is accessing the array to search through.
Here is my code:
Code:
#include "stdio.h"
const int IDLEN=30; //All constant values defined
const int POLARITYLEN=3;
const int MAXSTOCKITEMS=10;
//First structure defined
struct TransistorRec {
[Code]......
The errors I am currently getting are on line 54 'expected primary-expression before "struct"' and on line 60 ' 'maunfacturersID' undeclared'

I'm currently working on the ioquake3 engine . The ioquake3 engine is separated into 2 different main threads at runtime: the gamecode and the engine. Both are communicating but not all information and my problem resides here.
In the gamecode, there's a struct called gentity_t which contains a lot of fields:
Code:
typedef struct gentity_s gentity_t;
struct gentity_s {
entityState_ts;// communicated by server to clients
entityShared_tr;// shared by both the server system and game
// DO NOT MODIFY ANYTHING ABOVE THIS, THE SERVER
// EXPECTS THE FIELDS IN THAT ORDER!
//================================
struct gclient_s*client;// NULL if not a client
[Code] ....
This whole entity is passed to the engine at runtime, but only the first two fields are declared for the engine:
Code:
// the server looks at a sharedEntity, which is the start of the game's gentity_t structure
typedef struct {
entityState_ts;// communicated by server to clients
entityShared_tr;// shared by both the server system and game
} sharedEntity_t;
My problem is that I need to access the health field of gentity_t from the engine. Technically, this is possible, but the health field is not declared in sharedEntity (which is the same memory address than gentity_t in the gamecode), so this is not straightforward.
I am looking for an elegant way to do this, and my constraint is that I must not edit the gamecode, only the engine.
The solutions I've thought:
- Just copy the whole gentity_t fields into sharedEntity_t. This would work I think but would be redundant, and I would like to avoid copying this huge set of fields.
- Include the two headers files declaring the gentity_t and sharedEntity_t structs, and create a Getter and a Setter functions that would cast a gentity_t over a sharedEntity_t and return/set a field. The problem is that I can't simply include them because they are both including some common headers files and this produce a recursive include error (and I can't modify the files to add a check, these are normally in the gamecode).
- Directly access the health field using a clever memory pointer, but I don't even know if that's possible given the huge number of fields prior health with many different types?

I have the following map: myMap<string,vector<int>>. I now want to look through my map to see if a key exists and if it does, retrieve one of the int values from within that vector. What would be the best way to do this? Right now I have the following:
What would be the best way to look for a key and get one of the int values from its vector value? Right now I'm doing something like this:
[code]
map<string,vector<unsigned int>>::iterator it;
it = wordMap.find(someWord);
if(it == wordMap.end){
cout << "No matching entry";
} else{
// this is where I'd want to access the value (the vector) of the map
}
Is there a better way to do this?

I am parsing a binary data file by casting a buffer to a struct. It seems to work really well apart from this one double which is always being accessed two bytes off, despite being in the correct place.
Code:
typedef struct InvoiceRow {
uint INVOICE_NUMBER;
...
double GROSS;
...
char VAT_NUMBER[31];
} InvoiceRow;
If I attempt to print GROSS using printf("%f", row->GROSS) I get 0.0000. However, if I change the type of GROSS to char[8] and then use the following code, I am presented with the correct number...
Code:
typedef struct example {
double d;
}
example;
example *blah = (example*)row->GROSS;
printf("%f", blah->d);

I have a pointer to a vector of objects, each object has an array and a couple of strings. how to access the data in the objects via the pointer.
Best tree::chooseSplit(vector <pgm> *ptr)
{
Best splits;
cout<<ptr[1].filePath; //not working!!!
}
filepath is a string in the pgm object. i also need to be able to access elements in an array that also exists in pgm.

How I can use class functions in a vector. I have 2 classes:
Gamemode class
bullets class
Inside the Gamemode class I declared: vector<bullets> Bullet and bullets * b.
If the user presses the shoot button a new bullets class will be added to the Bullet vector:
b = new bullets;
Bullet.push_back(b)
Bow I'd like to check all objects in the Bullet vector for the collision() function inside the bullets class.
I already set up a for loop which counts from 0 to the end of the vector:
for( int i=0;i<Bullet.size;i++)
{
}
My idea was to do something like:
if(Bullet[i].collision()) then erase Bullet[i]
But that doesn't work...

so lets assume i have a nested vector in a set or vice versa o in a more general form a container in a container example...
Code:
std::set<vector<int> > my_tuple;
How do i access individual elements of lets say the first vector in the set! Or the last element in the 3rd vector?

I have a vector that I would like to access and work with from multiple threads. I have created an example below to illustrate the functionality that I would like to accomplish.
The goals are to be (1) high speed, (2) thread safe, and (3) *if possible* continue to use vectors as my larger project uses vectors all over the place and as such I would like to maintain that.
However, if I need to switch from vectors to something else then I am open to that as well.
The following example below compiles but crashes rather quickly because it is not thread safe.
How I can fix the example below which I can then apply to my larger project?
#include <string>
#include <vector>
#include <ctime>
#include <thread>
#include <iostream>
#include <random>
#include <atomic>
#include <algorithm>
enum EmployeeType {
[Code] ....

i have this vector:
#ifndef new_thing_Inventory_h
#define new_thing_Inventory_h
#include <vector>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
class Inventory {
[code]....
so i know i need to use .push_back or .pop_back, but the program im using dosn't even recognize that inventory is a created vector.

I am working on an assignment identical to another post from a couple years ago, for reference here is the thread:
array of pointers to structures sorting addresses by zip code
They way it is written on that thread is almost identical to the way the teacher implied to have it done (only wrote part of the input block). But I am having an error:
When it gets to the output section it outputs then next name along with the zip code... I tried strncpy and strxfrm but both cause more problems than they did work.
The last part of the project is to have the output put out in order of least zip code to most zip code (00000<99999), so this is causing me a real problem and I do not see what exactly is making this happen.
Here is my code (we dont HAVE to use gets but professor suggested using it for this assignment, next lab is to rewrite this using files and fgets rather than I/O redirection):
header.h Code: #ifndef lab_6b_7b_Header_h
#define lab_6b_7b_Header_h
//header file intiating other headers
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
typedef struct{
[code]....
I have not started the sorting code because I cannot get past this, but once I have proper zip codes I am sure I can make a sort function no problem.
I am using xcode with some breaks to read variables as various points and do not notice anything wrong until it makes it to the output functions, although this page briefly pops up between input and output functions when the breaks are up:

What I'm trying to do with this code is an address book and I have an array of pointers which are returned by malloc whenever I need to add an extra entry in the address book. What I need to do is search for a specific entry using bsearch. I've got an inqSort() function that sorts the table and runs normally, but my program crashes when I try to use bsearch.
Code:
typedef struct {
char name[20];
char phone[14];
} abEntry;
[Code] ....
Every time an entry is inserted, I inqsort() the array so it's always sorted, and it works as expected. But when I try to call findEntryUI(); from the main() function, the program crashes after entering the name I want to search.

I'm quite new to C and these days I have been playing around with a linked list. I managed to make a working version using pointers, ad only for the sake of learning I was trying to do the same thing just passing the "Object reference" Here is the method that apparently doesn't work..
Code:
struct Node addNode(struct Node head){
int value;
struct Node *n;
printf("Please enter the value
");
scanf("%d", &value);
[Code]...
when I return the function i have something like: head=addNode(head)
Unfortunately it does not work the way I aspect. I suppose that there is something I have left out..
Code:
like n->next=&head
// passing the address of the head at the next pointer of the struct
head =*n
//copy the values of the new node to the old head..
There must be something wrong with this line.. return head; What have I done wrong?

I have a linked list where each node contains a pointer to a string, I'm treating the linked list as a text file and each node/string contains each line in the text file.
I have all of that working, but now I need to create a switchLine function that takes in the two line numbers and I need to switch those lines in the text file. I initially thought of switching the pointers to each the next node in the linked list such that the node order changes, but I then realized how much work that would actually take when you need to consider so many cases. So I instead thought of changing the pointers to strings. If I want to switch the 2nd and 3rd line, then I'd want to have the 2nd node in the list have its char * pointer point to the memory position that the 3rd node's char pointer points to, and vice versa.

New to C++ lambda, got two question in regards of searching for strings within a vector struct.
Minimalistic example:
Code:
struct singleFile {
std::string filename;
};
std::vector<singleFile>myStorage;
myStorage.push_back(singleFile());
[Code] ....
1) why does found always return 0 eventhough the filename exists?
2) I don't know how to pass an actual search string instead of the hardcoded approach as above with filename =="

What is the proper syntax to use a vector within a struct? Here's an example of what I want to do:
#include<iostream>
#include<string>
#include<vector>
using namespace std;
struct myStructure {
float number;
vector<string> nameList();

There must be some way to clear that vector. Why this doesn't work?

I'm working on a program where I have a vector full of <myClassType> structs.
I'm trying to insert items into a vector, searching first through the vector to make sure the value isn't already in the vector before inserting it. The "find" function isn't working properly.
I keep getting C2678 "binary '==': no operator found which takes a left-hand operand of type "myClassType" or there is no conversion errors in Visual Studio 2010.
I know it's something having to do with the find function and my iterators, but I can't, for the life of me, figure out what it is.
I've tried switching to const_iterators, but I get the same error message.
void foo::insert(const myClassType& en) {
vector<myClassType>::iterator it;
vector<myClassType>::iterator it1;
it = find(Table.begin(), Table.end(), en.memberOne);
