C++ ::  Calling A Function With Dynamically Defined Name

Feb 19, 2013

Is there a way to call a function whose name is defined in a file-stored-list?

In other words: The caller doesn't know in compile time the name of the function.

I'm not talking about polymorphism.

The problem is: I have a list of function names stored in a file, that may change every now and then, and I'd like to call them in the sequence they appear in that list.

C++ :: Calling Dynamically Loaded Function From DLL Destruction Error?

Apr 18, 2013

I have two projects (Projects A and B). Project A is a dll project, defining a function called "regex".

Project B dynamically loads this DLL, and calls Project A's "regex" function via LoadLibrary/GetProcAddress.

Regex takes a pointer to an std::vector (std::vector<std::cmatch>).

When debugging ProjectB, I can see that, within the code from ProjectA (in the "regex" call), a loop that loops through the elements of the vector outputs all the elements in the vector to console as expected. But the loop in ProjectB ( which executes after ProjectA), which also loops through the vector, and, is supposed to output the elements of the vector, outputs empty strings, not, as I would expect, the same strings (which contain results), as in the loop in Project A.

How is this happening. Does this have anything to do with it being a DLL, and, maybe, somehow values/memory addresses (or something similar) of the vector/its elements being destructed across the Projects/Dlls?

Output and Code See Below:

Output Loop in A:

Un
Un

Output Loop in B: (empty) (i.e. none)

Project A DLL Header (interface.h):

#include "stdafx.h"
#include <vector>
#include <regex>
extern "C" {__declspec(dllexport) int __cdecl regex(std::string target,std::string rgx, std::vector<std::cmatch*>* matches);}

C :: Linear Search Script - Calling Array Inside Of User Defined Function?

Jul 24, 2013

im tasked with creating a linear search script using functions on a 10 element array. the elements are to be supplied by the user as is the search target.

I understand how to create the array and gather that information from the user as well as howto set a variable for "target", this is what im calling it. Those two parts are simple enough.

I am not fully understanding the calling of an array in a function as a pointer. i semi understand the use of a pointer and howto call a normal pointer in a function. i also understand that an array is nothing more then a "special" pointer with a set of consecutive address blocks for the size of the array.

My first user defined function is simple enough

Code:
ReadArray(int A[], int size){
int i;
printf("Please enter %d integer numbers separated by spaces:
", size);
for (i = 0; i < size; i++)
scanf("%d", &A[i]);
}

Sso nothing out of the ordinary there. that should be a standard for loop and use of scanf, sadly prof has not covered ssanf or any of the other options so i am stuck using scanf for now. maybe someday down the line in a other program or after this course ill get the chance to learn about better options for gathering data from the user.

I am confused as to my next function:

Code:
void SearchArray(int A[], int target, int size);

I've not written any code here yet as im not sure if i should call the A[], or *A for the first type of the function?

If i call *A do i then use something like this for my search:

Code:
for (*A = 0; *A < size; *A++)
if (*A < target) or use A[] insteadA?

Code:
for (i = 0; i < size; i++)
if (A[i] = target)

C :: Printf Int That Was Defined In Another Function?

Feb 26, 2013

I'm making my way through most of this assignment that I have, but now it seems like I've run into a bit of a roadblock. The issue that I'm having is not being able to printf a series of ints that I thought I had previously defined in another function. I don't want to clog up this post with the entire code, so I'll just post one function that defined an int to give an example. I will upload the whole thing upon request however.

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
//Prototypes
int AGrade1(int* grade1);
int AGrade2(int* grade2);
int AGrade3(int* grade3);

[Code] .....

I've tried many many things, but I just cant figure it out. This is what it's supposed to look like.

Assignment Grades:

C :: Signal Function Defined Twice With No Error?

Dec 13, 2013

I'm using a library in my code in a file called "my_signal.c". In this file I've defined this function:

Code:
Sigfunc * signal(int signo, Sigfunc *func){
struct sigaction act, oact;
...
}

Since the signal function is also in file signal.h and I included it in "my_sygnal.h" file, I'm wondering why the compiler did not say anything about this "double declaration" of the function with the same name.

The function is supposed to return value from the file in my main, but I am getting empty value. I am trying to get better with pointer. Right now just teaching myself.

right now the only way for this code to show value is when in put the putchar(*ps) inside my readfile function. I would like to readfile to return value and print in the main function.

C++ :: Calling Function By Sending Char Text Of Function Name

Feb 19, 2014

Is this possible?

int myfunc( int a, int b, char * c )
char a = "(int)myfunc()";
char b = "(int,int,char*)"
call(a, b, ...) // Function name and return type, params

I want to do function what registers forward what will get callback if the time is right. Basically then i dont need to edit and add extra functions into source files. I just have to include header and use register forward function. If there is anything close to this it would be perfect!

C++ :: User Defined Function - String Related Program (swapping)

Jan 4, 2015

Write a program using user-defined function which is passed a string and that function should cycle the string.(Do not use any string related functions). E.g.

If the string is : Chetna then it should print as Chetna, hetnaC, etnaCh, tnaChe,naChet, aChetn

Ans.

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
char swamp(char a[], int x) {
for(int k=0; k<=x; k++) {
char l= a[x]; a[x]= a[0]; char p=a[x-1]; a[x-1]=l;
for(int i=1; i<x-2; i++) {

C++ :: How To Add A Loop / User-defined Function And Array / Structure To Code

Apr 24, 2012

We had to write a "selling program for computers, laptops and tablets", which I did but for the extra credit, we have to have those three points in the application and I have tried but how to do the "extra credit" part, which I really need.

1.) A loop to prompt the user if they would like to place another order

2.) At least one user-defined function

3.) An enumerated data type, array or struct (structure)

I did one of these three, it's a "DO WHILE" loop asking users if they want to make another order, it's right at the beginning of the code.

Code:

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <iomanip>
#include <fstream>
using namespace std;
double desktop();//function prototype
double laptop();
double tablet();

C :: How To Exclude Function Dynamically On Compile Time

Mar 6, 2013

I am working on a project, where I have to be able to exclude some code fast and dynamicly at compiletime.

I got a scheduler running and actually I just want to remove some of the tasks from it - but at compile time so that the code wont take up space in my microcontroller.

I know that I can use macros like #ifdef #endif etc. But I think that method makes the code unreadable and complicated.

How to archive such functionality a more elegant way?

C++ :: Holding Function In Variable And Changing It Dynamically

Jun 30, 2014

I need a variable that will just hold a function that I can change in the middle of the application, even to different function type with different amount of parameters ... is this even possible? At the moment I have this

struct REPLY {
string *sReply;
function<int()> special = [](){return 0;};
REPLY()

[Code] .....

And then change it back to blank function returning 0 after calling it

(reply.special)();
reply.special = [](){return 0;};

This works fine (there is no reason why it should not, right? Now, if I want to have another function, let's say

void test2(string str) {
MessageBox(NULL, str.c_str(), NULL, NULL);
}

How do I point this one to the variable special, when I want to call it like that (or something similar)

(reply.special)("test string");

is this even possible? if so, how? i tried to create function pointer (didnt compile at all) or use template (neither did this) and how to do this as I discovered functional lib just a while ago.

C++ :: Returning Dynamically Allocated Array From A Function

Jul 27, 2014

This a very simple program I created because I dont understand how do this. My goal is to be able to use the pointer *s5 throughout the program. For example I would to like to call other functions and pass that pointer through the function. I understand the dynamic allocation and pointers for the most part but Im confused here because the "new char[20]" variable will die after the function and I dont want it to.

#include <iostream>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <cstring>
using namespace std;
void testArray ( char *s5 );
int main ( int argc, char *argv[] )

[Code] .....

Also does strlen count the null terminator?

C++ :: Calling Function In DLL

Jun 8, 2014

I have this sample code, that calls a function in a DLL. The function Callback is provided to the DLL as an argument, in order for the DLL to notify my program of relevant changes.

sample:

#include <iostream>
#include <conio.h>
#include <windows.h>
#include <winbase.h>
#include "TcAdsDef.h"
#include "TcAdsApi.h"
 using namespace std;
 void _stdcall Callback(AmsAddr*, AdsNotificationHeader*, unsigned long);
 
[Code] ....

I would like to change this code, so that there is a Main class that opens the connection and there are several separate classes (as below) that register themselves for a specific variable and get notifications if that value is changed. The reason for this is that I want to get several notifications for several independent events and I don't want them to mix. I figured this should look something like this:

class.h
#ifndef INACLASS_H
#define INACLASS_H
 #include "Main.h"
 class InAClass {
    public:
        InAClass(Main* mainClass, std::string iolocation);

[Code] ....

Unfortunately this gives me an error:
error: cannot convert 'InAClass::Callback' from type 'void (InAClass::)(AmsAddr*, AdsNotificationHeader*, long unsigned int)' to type 'PAdsNotificationFuncEx {aka void (__attribute__((__stdcall__)) *)(AmsAddr*, AdsNotificationHeader*, long unsigned int)}'

At first I thought this was because I don't have the namespace "using namespace std;" on top, but then I should be able to find something that specifically needs to come from the std namespace and is not marked as such. I don't want to rule the option out, but so far I could not find anything like that.

An alternative explanation might be that the Callback function needs to be global, but if I make it global, how can I distinguish between several Callback functions?

C/C++ :: Parallelize Matrix Multiplication Function Dynamically And Statically

Oct 1, 2014

I've been trying to get my matrix multiplication program to run a few different ways. My assignments wants me to run it statically using chunks, but we're not supposed to use OpenMPs scheduler. So I'm not sure how that's possible. And secondly, we have to run it dynamically using locks/unlocks.

Static (not sure how to implement chunk)

#pragma omp section
{
printf("Thread %d doing matrix mult", threadID);
if (matrixAcols != matrixBrows) {
cout << "Error, operation not possible" << endl;

[Code]....

The code will run for a long time too. It uses as many threads as we tell it to but it never speeds up the results.
