C/C++ :: Passing A Global Pointer?
Feb 29, 2012
Let's say I've got something like this:
struct Box{
//something
};
typedef struct Box* pBox;
[Code]....
function fun recieves the address(which is NULL) and then allocates the memory for the Box; Let's say I cannot return the address of new allocated p and I can't also use that pointer p(from main) without passing it into a function.
Q: How can I make it that I could operate in function "fun" as I operate on orginal pointer p(from main), right now I'm just passing the address to my function but I can't change the 'global' pointer p ;(.
I remember in pascal it's like:
"function(var pointer:[pointer to sth])"
and all is done.

I am having trouble updating my global pointer in the following code,
Code:
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
struct RB{
RB()=default;
RB(int clr):color(clr) { }
int color;
[Code] ....
The problem is, at line where I compar y==Tnil, It is evaluating to false at the first insert. But It should be true. again, after ending the function, T again becomes equal Tnil, as a result , none of the is being inserted.

what I am trying to do is to pass to a function the address of an array of structs, so I can later modify the items within the struct, within the array
Code:
typedef struct { //A struct of name auctionint bidder;float bid;} auction;
void myFunction (auction * auctionItem[]){(*aucItem[x]).bid = y;(*aucItem[x]).bidder = z;}
int main(){auction theItems[10];
myFunction(theItems);} Where x, y, and z can be any number.
When I try to run my code the IDE (I'm using Code::Blocks 12.11) does not give me any errors, but it does give me a warning:
warning: passing argument 3 of '<function name>' from incompatible pointer type [enabled by default]
and the note:
note: expected 'struct <struct name> **' but argument is of type 'struct <struct name> *'.Also, when I run the program, it will crash and return garbage.

I am trying to wright a program that takes student grade data from a command line file, calculates a final grade, and copies the final grades to an output file. So far I have two functions, one that creates a student structure by allocating memory for it and returning its address, and one that should take that address and fill it with data from a line from the input file. My ultimate goal is to use a linked list to connect all the structs, but for now I just want to get the functions working. When I run what I have so far, I get an error C2440 (using visual 2010) that says "cannot convert from 'cStudent *', to 'cStudent', and points to the line where I call my fill function. How should structure pointers be passed?
Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
struct student // Declaring student structure globally.
[Code] .....
Also, here is a sample of what a line from the input file would look like:
Bill Gates, 60, 54, 38, 62, 65, 60, 50

I'm trying to pass the pointer of a dynamic array into a template function, but it keeps telling me there is no matching function to call because the parameters I'm passing in are wrong. how to make the function accept the pointer.
//main
int main()
{
srand(unsigned(time(NULL)));
int size;
int *list;
int *listCopy;
[code].....

I can clearly understand how to pass a dynamic array to a function and modified within the function..
My aim is to get back the array initialized as I am trying on the next sample of code..
Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <math.h>
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
using namespace std;
#define N3//number of bodies
void initialise( double *M[], double *X[], double *y[])
[code]....

I have a Qt classes as follow:
Code:
class Vehicle {
public:
void AddData(QString str, Data* data) {
_myDataMap.insert(str,data);
} virtual void Init();
[code].....
My questions are:
After the main function called d1->Modify; the data stored in _myDataMap will get modified too.
What is the more appropriate way of passing the Data through AddData in such case?
If i do AddData(const Data & data), i will not be able to use inheritance of Data, i.e passing a subclass of Data to AddData.

Is there such thing as passing a winforms label by reference? For example, can I create a pointer label and pass the address to a function? I've looked online but couldn't find anything. Perhaps that's a sign?

I have this code:
#include "stdafx.h"
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
void square_cube(float *x,float *y) {
[Code] .....
The function should pass the square of the first input parameter and the cube of the second input parameter back to the calling routine. I thought I could use a recursion but its not going to work.

I have a function called,
App 1:
void GetImage(CImage * img) {
//Pass &img over socket to another app
}
App 2:
void DisplayImage() {
CImage * pImg = &img;
}
Is it possible to pass a class pointer as memory buffer across the socket? The above code is just an example. My question in general is, whether it's possible to pass any Classes pointer as a memory buffer across sockets.

I'm writing an ActiveX control. In one of the functions I'd like the user to be able to pass me a pointer to a buffer that they created which I can then fill with data and return a success/error code. What's the appropriate way to do this? I was thinking about just using an OLE_HANDLE type for the parameter and then casting that to pointer inside the OCX but I'm not sure if that's safe or the right way to do it.

I am trying to write a light weight printf style function.
I have got this far:
Code:
void println(const char *txData){
LOG(__PRETTY_FUNCTION__);
UARTPuts (LPC_UART0, txData);
}
void miniPrint(const char *format, ...)
{
unsigned int index = 0;
va_list argptr;
va_start(argptr, format);
[Code]....
I understand why I think. When I am passing the reference to the array possion it is outputting everything up to the next /0. So my question is how do I stop it?
I dont have much choice as to how the output wants it:
Code: void UARTPuts(LPC_UART_TypeDef *UARTx, const void *str)
Thats library code, so I dont want to change it. I.e I have to pass an address into println.

I am getting a few compile errors for what might be a simple thing to do. I am opening a file in main, passing that pointer to a function and checking the contents of that file with a regex before I pass it on to build a BST. I am getting the following compile errors, what is wrong. Here are the errors:
Code:
gcc main.c fileCheck.c -o tree
main.c: In function `fileCheck':
main.c:19: error: syntax error before "FILE"
fileCheck.c: In function `fileCheck':
[Code] .....
Fatal error: Command failed for target `tree' Here is the two files and header that seem to be causing me the problems.
main.c
Code:
#include "main.h"
//#include "node.h"
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
FILE *fp;
if (argc > 2)
[Code] ....
And the header file.
main.h
Code:
#ifndef MAIN_H
#define MAIN_H
#ifdef __cplusplus
extern "C" {
#endif

I am having trouble modifying a linked list. I am writing a function to delete the last node from the linked list, but it gave me incompatible types error.Here is my struct:
Code:
typedef struct PCB{
int id;
struct PCB *next;
struct PCB *prev;
}PCB_rec, *PCB_p;
Here is my function to delete the last node (given the pointer is pointing at the last node of the list):
Code:
void del_last_node(PCB_p *process_list){
PCB_p temp = process_list;
if (temp->prev != NULL){
temp = temp->prev;
[Code] ....
And here is how I called the function:
Code: del_last_node(&process_list);
It gives me the following errors:
initialization from incompatible pointer type at line:
PCB_p temp = process_list
assignment from incompatible pointer type at line:
process_list = temp

I have in the past written code for templated functions where one function argument can be either a function pointer or a Functor. Works pretty straightforward.
Now I am in a situation where I am actually trying to pass a function pointer as template argument to a class. Unfortunately this does not work, I can pass the Functor class but not the function pointer. Below code illustrates the issue:
Code:
#include <string>
#include <iostream>
#include <sstream>
#include <cstdlib>
// For demonstration
const char * external_library_call() {
return "FFFF";
[Code] .....
The idea is to have the definition of the Record class simple and readable and have a maintainable way to add auto-conversion functions to the class. So the lines I commented out are the desirable way how I want my code to look. Unfortunately I could not come up with any way that was close to readable for solving this.

I am working on a project and decided to try something simple before I start adding items. I am calling a function from main and that function has a file pointer.
Here is my main.cpp
Code: #include <cstdio>
#include <string>
#include <iostream>
#include "main.h"
extern FILE *fp;
using namespace std;
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
[code]....
Here is the function:
Code:
#include <string>
#include <cstdio>
#include <iostream>
#include "main.h"
[Code] ....
My test file consists of several characters and digits. Nothing special and I at this point in time do not have any type of formatting that needs to be adhered to. I am simply wanting to read the file character by character and print it out. When I run the program, I get this symbol:
Code: If I use a printf statement, such as:
Code: printf("%s
", nextChar);
I get a segmentation fault.
My main.h Code:
#ifndef MAIN_H
#define MAIN_H
void scanner(FILE *);
//char getChar(FILE *);
#endif and lastly my scanner.h Code: #ifndef SCANNER_H
#define SCANNER_H
FILE *fp;
#endif

Basically I'm trying to pass an object as a reference to the template function, rather than a copy as it's seeing. I'm needing to do this without editing Obj::Call to accommodate a reference as its first parameter, as it'd break other calls.
You'll notice in the following code the object will be destroyed upon passing, while the object defined is still in-scope due to the infinite end loop.
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
class Obj {
public:
string name;
Obj(string name): name(name) {cout << "create " << this << endl;}
[code]....
In the past I tried ref(), which appeared to stop this happening, however it created a blank copy of the object instead.

I have made an application and I have basically solved everything. But the only problem is that I am using global variables because it felt like the smoothest, so my program is built on it.
But now I've read around and I understand that you should not use these(?). Do you think pointers is the best think to use instead?I have previously declared my board array and some variables as global and I want them in alot of functions.I have read and understand the procedure for the use of pointers so I can use my int's in the other functions by doing like this? Code: #include <stdio.h>
int justprint();
int main()
{
int Row = 2;
int Column = 2;
int *pRow = &Row;
int *pColumn = &Column;
[code]...
But how do I do it with an array like this one? If I declare it in the main function, and then want to use it in other functions.Or are there better, easier solutions?
Code: char game[3][3]={{0,0}};
