C/C++ :: Passing Member Functions Member Variable To Another Variable
Aug 31, 2014
So I have a class object that contains the private member variable spot and the public member function MoveLock. Within MoveLock, is a member variable called numbers that holds the place where a user is on a "lock knob". Now, what I'm trying to accomplish is that whenever the user turns the "knob" in the wrong direction, the position is updated with that current numbers so that the clicks needed to unlock the first state is also updated. But I get these errors:
Error E2096 C:Users...switchtest.cpp 34: Illegal structure operation in function main()
Error E2294 C:Users...switchtest.cpp 39: Structure required on left side of . or .* in function main()
Ultimately, what I have in main() is a piece of what I'm going to implement in a class member function. I'm also thinking about moving the if else statements out of the for and creating a second one for the else portion.
#include <iostream>
#include <windows.h>
#include <iomanip>
using namespace std;
HANDLE inKeys = GetStdHandle(STD_INPUT_HANDLE);
HANDLE screen = GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE);
[code]....

I am having trouble compiling my interface. I am trying to store a reference variable as a member variable of the interface object. Compiler says that the variable has not be initiated correctly.
LCD inherits from VisualInterface which is expecting a DisplayDriver object to be passed in (DisplayDriver is another interface, but thats not important).
I pass the displayDriver object in when LCD is instantiated in maininterfaces.zip
I was pasing it before as a pointer but was told that this could cause me problems with memory leaks and a reference was better, but now I cant seem to get it to compile.

I need to keep a static variable in a member function of a class that I have many objects of. I've had some trouble with it, and when I read up I found that such variables are static across all instances. Is there any way around this?

Is it possible to initialize class member variables in their definition statement instead of using a constructor?
Is the code bellow correct?
class rectangle
{
float a=0;
float b=0;
public:
string color="Red";
...
};
Which C++ Standard allows it?

I've created a class called Voter with a private member variable ID, also I have a variable in my main function to be ID as well. I'm trying to compare the two ID's but when I do so:
if (ID == V.ID)
I get the error - 'std::string Voter::ID' is private within this context.
I know that because it's private I can't access it, but how do I?

So, one can do stuff like this using #defines:
#include <iostream>
#include <array>
#define x arr[0]
#define y arr[1]
#define z arr[2]
class Point {
[code]....
... that is, to be able to reference the same data by "member variables" as by referencing a stl container. But defines are the devil's work - adding in a "#define x arr[0]" is a dangerous statement. I'd really like some nice clean C++ method (C++11 or C++14 are just fine) to do this without defines, but so far I'm drawing a blank. If arr wasn't an STL container, if we just wanted a pointer-based array, I could do it this way:
class Point
{
...
float x __attribute__ ((aligned (sizeof(float))));
float y __attribute__ ((aligned (sizeof(float))));
float z __attribute__ ((aligned (sizeof(float))));
float*const arr = &x;
};
... but you obviously can't do that if arr is an STL container.
The best I've come up with is to make x, y, and z function pointers, but then you can't call them like p.x, you have to call them like *p.x(), it's not very clean and I'd expect some added overhead. One could go even uglier and make x, y, and z be instances of some custom class with overridden operators that reference arr[], but that seems like it'd be just getting ridiculous in terms of overhead (both coding and performance)

What is the problem with the following code is? It compiles with Visual C++ 2012 but does not with g++:
//a.h
#ifndef Loaded
#define Loaded
using namespace std;
class MyClass{
public:
static const int MyStaticValue = 200;
[Code] ....
If I try to compile this using the command
g++ a.cpp b.cpp
I get an "undefined reference to 'MyClass::MyStaticValue'" error for the line "A = MyClass::MyStaticValue;" in main(). The strange thing is that if I change the line to "A = (int) MyClass::MyStaticValue;" it works fine and the output is
200
200
as expected.
The code also compiles under g++ if I move the defintion of MyStaticValue from a.h to a.cpp by const int MyClass::MyStaticValue = 200;

I have a this program of storing students in a 2-3-4 tree. I have a template class called hw6_234tree and another class called Student. Now my private member variable (m_root) keeps being reinitialized every time I process a new line. For example the first student I run through my m_root->A = Student A...(m_root is a private variable of type Node* inside of the 2-3-4tree class).The next pass through now my m_root->A == Student B. So essentially my first run through m_root->A = Student A. Then the next run m_root->A = Student B. My question is how can I keep this variable the same and stop it from reinitializing m_root->A to student B.
Here are a few snips of the code:
Function in main:
void ProcessLine(string line, hw6_234tree<Student>& tree)
Function call:
tree.Add(Student(id, name));
Private Variable:
Node* m_root;
A function for a struct named (Node) in the private section of class hw6_234tree that assigns variables in the struct to values:
Node(T* valueForA)
{
A = valueForA;
B = C = NULL;
L = M1 = M2 = R = NULL;
}
The start of my Add function:
bool Add(T& toCopyAndAdd)
{
if (m_root == NULL)
{
m_root = new Node(&toCopyAndAdd);
return true;
}
return false;
}

I have been playing about with Vertices and Colors and have ended up with this:
template < std::size_t SIZE, typename T >
struct Pack

Is there anyway to make an alias for Pack's data field? Something that would allow me to write:
Color3f my_color;
my_color.red = 0.1f;

This is with Linux gcc
Code:
typedef struct _a
{
int id;
} a;
typedef struct _b
{
a my_a;
my_a.id = 1; // error: expected specifier-qualifier-list before "my_a"
} b;
I get error: expected specifier-qualifier-list before "my_a"
I must set the id for the kind of struct created inside the struct def because main() will be casting based on this id. Thats how I will know which structure b contains by it's id, there could be hundards of different structs with different values I will cast to the correct one and know it's members by it's id. How do I ?

Say you had:
class Foo{
public:
//...
void funky();
[Code] .....
Would each instance of Foo create a new counter variable, or would it remain the same for all of them, i.e. baz.funky() would always use the same counter variable? What if the class was a template?

In C++, how do i call a method member of class A from a class B, using a pointer. By the way Class A and B are of different types.
I read that when a pointer is pointing to member function it can only point member functions within the class. But how can i point to a member function outside the class.?????
for example
class A {
public:
int add(int x) {
return x+x;

I have a small class and a vector to hold the objects.
Code:
class result_holder {
public:
// initialize class members
[Code]....
The purpose is to keep results and be able to sort the results on row_value while keeping the id and name values in registration with the row_value. I am running allot of tests and keeping the top n results. The idea is to sort the vector so that I can just examine the object in the last element to see if it should be replaced by a better result.
I know that this kind of thing is often done with an overloaded operator or a functor, but I am a bit out of my depth with that, especially determining what class variable will be used for the sort. sorting the above objects on the row_value variable?

I have a class that defines a window (a popup dialog of sorts), and I want the name of that window to be constant. The only problem is that the name of the popup needs to match the title of the parent window, and I get the name of the parent in the constructor. So how do I go about defining this member variable to be constant and initializing it with a value in the constructor?
I want to do something like this, but I know this isn't allowed:
/* class.h */
class foo {
public:
foo(*parentWindowPtr);
[Code] .....
I should mention that yes the name of the parent window is const char *, and I would like to keep it this way.

The question is: Define the class Counter. An instance of this class is used to count things, but the counter should never be less than 0 (non negative number). The member variable should be private. I realize what I'm suppose to be using but can't implement the member functions needed..
int main(){
int value;
cin >> value;
Counter myCounter(value);
for (int i = 1; i <= MAXLOOP; i++) {
myCounter.increment();
[Code] ....

i want to store reference to a const object in my class as a member variable, as follow:
I basically want a readonly reference to |Data| in Device object.
Code:
class Device {
Device(const QList<QSharedPointer<Data>> & dataList) : _listRef(dataList) {
} protected:
const QList<QSharedPointer<Data>> & _listRef;
}
This does not allow me to initialize _listRef as something like NULL when it is not applicable.Also, i must change all my constructors and its child class to include an initialization of _listRef!!
What is the alternative? Is pointer the nearest? which of the following should be used?
Code:
const QList<QSharedPointer<Data>> * _listRef;
or
const QList<QSharedPointer<Data>> *const _listRef;
or
const QSharedPointer<QList<QSharedPointer<Data>>> _listRef; ????

I am modifying a set of static variables inside of the class's member function. The static variables are private. An example of what I'm doing is as below,
utilities.h
-----------
class utilities {
private:
static int num_nodes;
public:
void parse_details(char* );
[Code] ....
I get a compilation error in the function void utilities::parse_details(char* filename)
which says: undefined reference to `utilities::num_nodes'
compiler: g++

I get the following error in XCode whenever I try to access the member I created 'randomGen' in a separate class in a different header file. I have made sure to include the header file and have tried to access it through an object.
This is the code I enter when trying to access the method from randomiser.h in main.cpp. It is also an overloaded function with doubles and integers:
RandomG randomiser;
randomiser.randomGen(); // 'Call to member function 'randomGen' is ambiguous'
This is the code inside randomiser.h:
#include <string>
#include <iostream>
using std::string;
using std::cout;
using std::endl;
class RandomG {
[Code] ....
This is the error inside xcode: [URL] ....
I have tried seperating the code for the functions in another class (main.cpp) and then running and it seems to works, so I'm not sure why I can't put everything in the .h file and then access it?
I would like it in a seperate file so it doesn't clutter my main. I am writing a game with SDL so that might be confusing and I would like the window to have a random title and other random properties, so it would be easier to use a function.

If you are doing some big program, usually, how do you organize the files? Put the class and its member in head file, but where to declare non member functions and where to define them? I don't want to put them all in one cpp file. If not, how to make them visible to the main cpp file?

Code:
class Editor {
// c'tors etc
Gtk::EventBox canvas_event_box;
void functionA();
void functionB() const;
[Code] ....
When I try to compile functionB in Visual C++ it gives me this error:-
glibmm/refptr.h(199) : error C2440: 'initializing' : cannot convert from 'const Gdk::Window *' to 'Gdk::Window *'
Conversion loses qualifiers
And this is the code from glibmm/refptr.h
Code:
// The templated ctor allows copy construction from any object that's castable. Thus, it does downcasts:
// base_ref = derived_ref
template <class T_CppObject>
template <class T_CastFrom>
[Code] .....
I don't actually want to change anything in the member variable canvas_event_box. I just want to be able to call one of its functions from my 'const' member function. Is there any syntax I can use to tell VC++ that I'm not actually changing the variable - just using it.

Here is the assignment: (3pts) Given the following class header file, write the class’ source code for each of the accessor and mutator functions listed. (How the functions have listed their parameters, varying between passing by reference and by value.) Don’t forget to comment your code – it counts!
class Album {
private:
char * artist; // band or singer’s name
char * title; // title of the album
[code]....
The input will be an array. My questions: First, am I on the right track?
When using (char * a) for a function, for example, this is passing the address of a, correct? so then *artist=a; changes what the address of a points to?
also, the functions are bool when I would expect void. Why? for all of the set_" " functions, the parameter is *... but for set_record_label it is *&. That appears to be a mistake to me. Is that right?
what is the difference between *& and * as parameters?

Suppose I make a class, something like having the constructor being invoked first makes sense, I don't have a problem with that. But, how could I limit access to functions until certain functions are called? Perhaps this isn't built into the language so you can't. And maybe this problem never comes up. For example if you have a set() and get() functions, if they are both public functions, there doesn't seem to be a way for the compiler at least now if set() never gets called you shouldn't call get(). I just see this as error prone if you need to use libraries, you have to know not to do it from documentation instead of something the compiler can check.
