C/C++ :: Using Class Parameter In Virtual Class

Mar 27, 2015

I am trying to create a platformer and is stuck on a problem regarding my virtual class Entity. I wish to use it to create stuff like the Player and Enemy class(es). But how to do the parameter for my collision check function. Below is my Entity- and player class.

There might be a better way to check CC with a lot of different objects, this is my first attempt.

This is the error I am getting: "error C2664: 'bool Player::CollisionCheck(Hostile)' : cannot convert argument 1 from 'Player' to 'Hostile'"

#ifndef ENTITY_H
#define ENTITY_H
#include <SFMLGraphics.hpp>
class Entity {
public:
Entity();
Entity(sf::Vector2f position, sf::Vector2f size, sf::Color fillColor, sf::Color outlineColor);

[Code] ....

and in Hostile I would (I guess) use
bool CollisionCheck(Player p);

But if I try for example to use Player in the CC in player.h it will complain that the function doesn't have an overload for that. Hostile is just a example class name right now, it isn't implemented yet. I am trying to use Player, but if possible wish to be able to have a different class depending on what kind of entity it is. The entity will probably also be the players projectiles and so on.

C++ :: Size Of Derived Class With Overriding Virtual Functions From Base Class?

Jan 21, 2014

The compiler creates virtual table for the base class and also for the derived class whether we override it or not.

That means each class has separate virtual table. when we get the size of the each class with out any data members... the size of base is -- 4 bytes(64 bit) and the size of derived is -- 1

The size of base class 4 is correct since it creates the virtual pointer internally and its size is member data + virtual pointer, but it in this case I have included any data members so it has given 4 byts.

But why in case of derived is 1 byte, since it the derived class has overridden the virtual function from base, this will also contains the virtual pointer which will be pointing to derived class Vtable, it the size of the class suppose to be 4 instead of 1 byte.

#include<iostream>
class A{
public:

C++ :: Calling Derived Class Functions In A Function With Parameter Of Base Class

Mar 30, 2013

Say I have 3 classes:

class Player {
public:
virtual func1();

[code]....

Say in my main class, I have a function fight(Player p1, Player p2) and I would like to do something like this in the fight function, given that p1 is the human and p2 is the computer:

//function fight()
fight(Player p1, Player p2) {
p1.func2();
}
//using function fight()
fight(human, computer);

When I compile the program, I got this: error: ‘class Player’ has no member named 'func2()' What can I do to allow p1 to call func2 inside fight()? I'm not allowed to use pointers as the parameter for fight() and have to use the signature fight(Player p1, Player p2).

C++ :: Using Child Class As Parameter Of A Function In Its Parent Class

Aug 27, 2014

I am currently having an issue with a piece of code that I am writing in which I need to use a vector of a child class as a parameter in a function in the parent class. Below is an example of my code:

#include "child.h"
#include <vector>
class parent {
parent();
function(std::vector<child> children);
// rest of class here
}

When I do this my program doesn't compile. However if I try to forward declare, as shown in the following example, it once again refuses to compile:

#include <vector>
class child;
class parent{
parent();
function(std::vector<child> children);
// rest of class here
}

This time, it refuses to compile because it needs to know the full size of the class child in order to create the vector. How to being able to access the child is essential for my program, so what should I do?

C++ :: Pass Method Of Derived Class As Parameter To Another Method In Base Class?

Feb 2, 2015

I have a question similar to the one here: [URL] .....

The main difference is I would like to pass a method of derived class as a parameter to some other method in its template base class.

template <typename BaseType>
class Base {
public:
typedef void (Base::*Callback)(int A);

[Code] .....

The above is an example which does not compile. My compiler complains that the two BaseMethod() calls in DerivedMethod() are invalid uses of non-static member function.

Is this not possible to do, or is my syntax simply wrong? All I want is to be able to pass as an an argument to a method in the base class from the derived class some callback as a variable for the base class to invoke later.

C++ :: Abstract Class And Virtual Function?

Feb 17, 2013

I have this header file called Shape.h containing these function declarations. and a Shape.cpp which contains the body of the function. I am not showing it since it is not needed.

//This is from Shapes.h header file
#ifndef SHAPES_H
#define SHAPES_H
#include <iostream>

[Code]....

I have this unfinished Main.cpp because the third line "JuanSanchez::Circle *pCar = new Circle; " is giving me a compiler error "error C2061: syntax error : identifier 'Circle' "

#include "Shapes.h"
int main()
{
const int arrayIndex = 4;
JuanSanchez::Shape *myShape[arrayIndex];
JuanSanchez::Circle *pCar = new Circle;
}

What Could be causing this error?

How can I access the virtual base class? This is a practice exercise from c++ primer plus 6.

The problem is that the name becomes No Name instead of the name specified when creating the gunslinger, I don't know how I can call the virtual base class explicitly

Output,

#ifndef PERSON_H_
#define PERSON_H_

C++ :: Graph Class - How To Provide Virtual Iterators

May 29, 2013

I have a 'Graph' class, which has derived classes for Adjacency Matrix and Adjacency List representations.

How do I provide iterators for traversing vertices and edges, when the iterator classes would have different implementations for the different derived classes ?

The following way is the only one I can think of, but seems quite cumbersome.

Code:
class Base {
public:
class BaseIterator {

};
virtual const BaseIterator& begin();
virtual const BaseIterator& end();

[Code] .....

Or is there a pattern for doing this that I'm not aware of ? Would composition be a better idea here compared to polymorphism ? I mean, I can think like..a Graph can 'have' several representation 'objects' within it.

All the involved classes are templates,not sure if that makes the situation different.

C++ :: Overriding Virtual Operator Of Parent Class

Mar 20, 2013

Below is simplified code consists of two classes, namely Parent and Child.

Child is inherited from Parent.

All member functions of class Parent are declared virtual, and they have been overridden in the class Child.

Code 1:

#include <cstdlib>
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
#define QUANTITY 5
class Parent {

[Code] ....

The output of the code:

Child::showID() -- ID is 1804289383
Child::showID() -- ID is 846930886
Child::showID() -- ID is 1681692777
Child::showID() -- ID is 1714636915
Child::showID() -- ID is 1957747793

Parent::operator=() invoked.

Child::showID() -- ID is 1804289383
Child::showID() -- ID is 846930886
Child::showID() -- ID is 1714636915
Child::showID() -- ID is 1714636915
Child::showID() -- ID is 1957747793

Question:

Why is Parent::operator= invoked instead of Child::operator= ..?

Isn't it already declared virtual and hence would be overridden..?

I need to invoke Child::operator= instead. How to achieve this?

C++ :: Copying Purely Virtual Class Child

Oct 27, 2014

In short, this is what I have

class A{
A(){}
virtual void pure() = 0;
}

[Code] .....

I need a2 to be a deep copy of a1, but if I understand it correctly, then a2 should just be a pointer copy of a1. How do I make a2 be a different instance of B?

C++ :: Virtual Table Pointer - Size Of A Class?

Apr 22, 2015

Here is an example,

Code:
class A {
public:
virtual void foo(){}
virtual void foo2(){}
virtual void foo3(){}
};
int main() {
A a;
int ret = sizeof(A);
return 0;
}

Basically object a contains a virtual table pointer which is of size 4 bytes. Since class A should have a virtual table which contains three pointers pointing to foo, foo2,foo3 separately. So the virtual table should be of size 12 bytes. I wonder where is virtual table located in memory?

C++ :: Pure Virtual Methods And Interface Class

Jul 11, 2012

I develop add-ons for MS Flight Simulator and I use the poorly documented SDK for this. The SDK provides a .h file in which an interface class is defined (with pure virtual methods only), something like this:

Code:
class IPanelCCallback {
public:
virtual IPanelCCallback* QueryInterface (PCSTRINGZ pszInterface) = 0;
virtual bool ConvertStringToProperty (PCSTRINGZ keyword, SINT32* pID) = 0;
virtual bool ConvertPropertyToString (SINT32 id, PPCSTRINGZ pKeyword) = 0;
};

In my code, I use this interface like this:
Code:
IPanelCCallback* pCallBack = panel_get_registered_c_callback("fs9gps");
...
SINT32 id;
pCallBack->ConvertStringToProperty(propertyName, &id);

Everything works fine, but I don't understand why... I thought the linker would stop with an "undefined symbol" error because the IPanelCCallback methods, such as ConvertStringToProperty, are declared as pure virtual but defined nowhere, and I don't use any library for linking. With such an interface class, I thought I would have to defined a subclass of IPanelCCallback and define the ConvertStringToProperty method.

C++ :: Why Do Virtual Enums Compile When They Cannot Be Defined In Derived Class

Aug 26, 2013

Assume this class:

class GenericTrafficLight {
public:
virtual enum LightState;
void setLightState(LightState newState) {
currentState = newState;
}
private:
LightState currentState;
};

And this deriving class:

class FuturisticTrafficLight : public GenericTrafficLight {
public:
enum LightState {
LIGHT_STATE_RED = 0,
LIGHT_STATE_YELLOW = 1,
LIGHT_STATE_CYAN = 2,
LIGHT_STATE_GREEN = 3
};
};

This yields this error: "C2911 (...) cannot be declared or defined in the current scope" in the deriving class's enum definition.

C++ :: Base Class As Parameter

Oct 14, 2014

I have run into a problem which is mostly just an annoyance. I need to know if i can have pass a derived class to a function which has the base class as its parameter. For example i have been creating a program but i have a function which needs to work for multiple classes all derived from the BaseObject class

Code :

class folder : public BaseObject
{}
class BaseObject
{void function(BaseObject B)}

how would i get the following to work:

C++ :: Template Parameter Automatically With Class Name

Mar 8, 2013

I have a triple hierarchy class:

template<class T> class Singleton;
class Base;
class Sub : public Base, public Singleton<Sub>;

I' using underlying auto pointers, that's why Singleton is a template class and Sub passes itself as a template parameter. I'm developing Singleton and Base and a public API allows anyone to add their own sub classes. I actually want a real triple hierarchy like this:

template<class T> class Singleton;
class Base : public Singleton<Base>;
class Sub : public Base;

So that external developers don't have to worry about templates and complexity. The problem with this is that my implementation in Singleton will now call the constructor of Base whenever I create an instance of Sub (since the template parameter is Base).I was wondering if this could be done by pre-processor macros:

template<class T> class Singleton;
class Base : public Singleton<__CLASS_NAME__>;
class Sub : public Base;

Where __CLASS_NAME__ is the class name that will be replaced by the pre-processor. Theoretically this should be possible, since the __PRETTY_ FUNCTION__ macro actually returns the class name. The problem is that one cannot do string-manipulation to remove the function name from __PRETTY_FUNCTION__.

how I can accomplish this so that the Sub class is not aware of inheriting from a Singleton<template> class?

C/C++ :: Resizing Matrix And Zero-parameter Class Member

Sep 19, 2014

I'm attempting to make a matrix class, and so far I've made a member that can make a vector of vectors, but I'm not sure how to go about resizing the vectors if need be.

EX: resizeArray(3,3) should return a 3x3 vector.

Also, for some reason when I call my default member, matrix(), I get an error that says.. "Request for member numrows in myMatrix, which is of type matrix<int>[][]"

C++ :: Instance Of Class A Vs Class B Derived From Class A

C++ :: Transfer Values Set In Privates Of Base Class By Object Of One Derived Class To Another

Apr 26, 2014

I have my main.cpp like this:

#include <iostream>
#include "curve1.h"
#include "curve2.h"
using namespace std;
int main() {
Curve1 curve1Obj;
Curve2 curve2Obj;

[Code]...

Base class Score has two derived classes Curve1 and Curve2. There are two curve() functions, one is in Curve1 and other in Curve2 classes. getSize() returns the value of iSize.

My base class header score.h looks like this:

#ifndef SCORE_H
#define SCORE_H
class Score {
private:
int *ipScore;
float fAverage;
int iSize;

[Code]...

You can see that I have used curve1Obj to enter scores, calculate average and output. So if I call getSize() function with cuve1Obj, it gives the right size that I took from user in enterScores() function. Also the result is same if I call getSize() in score.cpp definition file in any of the functions (obviously).
.....

The problem is when I call curve() function of Curve2 class in main (line 23) with the object curve2Obj, it creates a new set of ipScore, fAverage and iSize (i think?) with garbage values. So when I call getSize() in curve() definition in curve2.cpp, it outputs the garbage. .....

How can I cause it to return the old values that are set in curve1.cpp?

Here is my curve2.cpp

#include <iostream>
#include "curve2.h"
using namespace std;
void Curve2::curve() {
cout << "getSize() returns: " << getSize() << endl; // out comes the garbage
}

Can I use a function to simply put values from old to new variables? If yes then how?
