C++ :: Cannot Cast From Void Pointer - Returns Always Error C2440
Apr 25, 2013
I having a problem which I'm not able to resovle. I try to dereference a void pointer but I always get a C2440 error. It says: 'static_cast':void* cannot be converted in wqueue<T>. I tried different cast ways but I always get the same error. As far as I found out I should get the error if I try to dereference without cast but in my case I cast before and still get that error.
void *srumbler (void *arg) {
wqueue<workclas*> m_queue= static_cast<wqueue<workclass*>>(arg);
return NULL;
}
The according type wqueue in the header file:
template <typename T> class wqueue {
list<T> m_queue;
pthread_mutex_t m_mutex;
pthread_cond_t m_condv;
[Code] .....

I declared all functions in header file, such as:
bool readCase();
bool meshing();
bool readMesh();
bool calculateFlowfield();
bool readFlowfield();
bool calculateEvaporation();
And then I define them in separated .cpp files, each .cpp file include the header, but I got multiple definition error, why?
Even the int main() function, which only decalred and defined once got this error, why?

Write a C++ program consisting of main plus two other functions which will do the following:
Take an integer input from the keyboard.
Send the integer to a function which will output the integer to the screen.
Send the integer to a second function which will tell the user that the integer is an odd value.
Do not tell the user anything if the integer is an even value.
Repeat this process until the user enters something which is not an integer; use input validation to check for validity.
Any not valid input should terminate the program.

In my refference book I have got a example with a part saying to access the a[4][0] element of the array (named a) with pointer this can be written:
*((int*)a+4)
I wonder if the cast is really required. The book says it is required so that the pointer arithmetic can be done properly. However I am not sure about it. When I work with pointers defined by myself I don't use casts similar to this one. Is there a difference between a self defined pointer and array name?

I have a function:
const void insertStuff(const void *key, const int value){
// I want to convert the void pointer into one
// of three types of pointers(int, string, or double)
switch(value){
case 0:
int *intPtr = key;
[Code] .....
But this causes an error of: "crosses initialization of int*intPtr"
What's the correct way of implementing this?

I cannot get the following to compile. The problem is the printf on the last line. I understand that printf requires a char (or pointer to char). I understand that I can convert between datatypes by putting the target data type in parenthises in front of the variable. But how do I cast the integer into a character and then get it's pointer to pass into printf?
Following is my code. I compile with gcc temp.c -o temp.
Note that I have tried many attempts at that last line and this is just the one that I really, really think should work (or is at least the closest to the correct answer).
This code shown below, using printf("%s", &(char)nextChar); returns
temp.c:26: error: lvalue required as unary '&' operand
If I try to use printf("%s", *(char)nextChar); I get the error
temp.c:26: error: invalid type argument of 'unary *' (have 'int')
This line printf("%s", (char)nextChar); returns the obvious
format '%s' expects type 'char *', but argument 2 has type 'int'
Code:
#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
printf("hello, world
");
#if defined(SUNDIALS_EXTENDED_PRECISION)
[Code] ....

I have a function that I want to exit gracefully when an "error" occurs in an input file. My function declaration is:
Code: BSTnode *buildTree(FILE *fp)
The few lines that are causing the problems are:
Code: if(regcomp(®ex, to_find, REG_EXTENDED | REG_NEWLINE) != 0) {
fprintf(stderr, "Failed to compile regex '%s'
", to_find);
return EXIT_FAILURE;
}
I know that if I just use "return" by itself the warning goes away but fails to exit when the error occurs. I also believe this may not be the correct use of stderr. But I need the program to exit when an error has occurred.

The log file gives me: In function ‘memFileAlloc’ assignment makes pointer from integer without a cast..When compiling the drivers for the Matrox card in the DL580. The offending code is:
STACK_LINKAGE MEMHANDLE memFileAlloc(
UINT32 dwSize,
const char* pszFileName,
int iLine) {
void* pvChunk;
#if MEMORY_STATS
[code]...
I think the offending line is:
pvChunk = ClientMemAlloc(dwSize + sizeof(UINT32), NULL)
because that's what the log file tells me.
The system is a 16 core HP DL580 G4 with 8g RAM, RAID 0, Mandrivalinux 11.0 and the display is a Matrox Parhelia 256PCIx.

I create an instance of a base class (not derived class) and assign it to base class pointer. Then, I convert it to a pointer to a derived class and call methods on it.
why does it work, if there is a virtual table?
when will it fail?
// TestCastWin.cpp : Defines the entry point for the console application.//
#include "stdafx.h"
#include <iostream>
class B
{
public:
B(double x, double y) : x_(x), y_(y) {}
double x() const { return x_; }

I have an issue with a database call. I've got a database call that counts the number of entries in the database:
private static Int32 dbCount() {
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("SELECT COUNT (*) FROM Employees", conn);
conn.Open();
Int32 count = (Int32)cmd.ExecuteScalar();
conn.Close();
return count;
}
Afterwards I'm using this as a check throughout my application:
if (dbCount > 0) {
// do something
}
When I execute this code I'm getting the following error: "Operator '>' cannot be applied to operands of type 'method group' and 'int'"
So I'm guessing it has something to do with the cast of the dbCount-object but I don't understand why as I already stated that the count-object to be an Int32.

I could understand void pointers I created the following program:
Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
int main(void) {
char word[] = "Zero";
int number = 0;
void *ptr = NULL;
[Code] .....
The program works fine, however i really want to fully understand what is going on with the dereferencing of the void pointer, for example: With the following code:
Code:
ptr = &number;
*((int *)ptr) = 1;
Why can't you just do:
Code:
ptr = &number;
*(int *)ptr = 1;
And again with this code, (i'm guessing it's becuase its a pointer to a pointer?):
Code:
ptr = &word;
strcpy(ptr,"One");

I want to have a function that has a pointer to an int/double/string so I thought I'd use a void pointer like so:
int someFnc(int a, int b, const void *key){
// take care of converting key into appropriate type in here
}
And when I want to use this function I'd like to be able to do something like this:
main{
...
int myKey;
someFnc(1,2,myKey);
]
But I get a compiler error telling me:
invalid conversion from 'int' to 'const void' -[fpermissive]
Do I need to convert myKey into a void pointer before passing it as an argument?
Why does passing myKey like this work?
someFnc(1,2,&myKey);

Why does the following code compile and execute without any error? I mean, the function compareid should get 2 arguments so why does the compiler not complaining, is it because of the type of arguments?

int compareid(void* info, int value)

#include "vehicle.h"
...
void exchange(vehicle *&v1, vehicle *&v2) {
vehicle *tmp = v2;
v2=v1;
v1=tmp;
}
Is it right?
How about: void exchange(vehicle *v1, vehicle *v2){...}
What is the difference between *&v1 and *v1 ?

I have a the following in a header file.
Code:
struct SortedList{
void * data;
struct SortedList * next;
struct SortedList * previous;
int (*compareFunc)(void *, void *);
void (*destructor)(void *);
[Code] ....
In a .c file, I implemented the SLCreate function.
Code:
SortedListPtr SLCreate(CompareFuncT cf, DestructFuncT df){
struct SortedList item;
item.data = NULL;
item.next = (struct SortedList *) malloc(sizeof(struct SortedList));
[Code] ....
In main.c, I try to do the following:
Code:
SortedListPtr list = SLCreate(&compareInts, &destroy);
A bunch other code that does not alter list or it's contents at all.
struct SortedList item = (*list);
void * data = item.data;
if (data != NULL) {
printf(Why did data become not null???
"); }
How come my variable data became not null anymore when I haven't altered it at all....

i need to return a struct pointer dynamically allocated inside a function call void function() which is done using 'out parameters' in following code
struct my_struct {
int x;
} void my_function( my_struct** result ) {
my_struct* x = new my_struct{ 10 };
//...
*result = x;
}
Now i have a doubt, so if i want to print the return value from struct pointer, should i need to print it in the void function() or in the caller the function...

How can I add the variable adress to a void pointer inside of a class?
class variant2 {
private:
void *Vvariant=NULL;
public:
template<typename b>
variant & operator = (b *adress)
[Code] ....
if possible i want avoid the '&' when i assign the variable address.(variant2 f=varname;//like you see i don't use the '&')
for the moment i just need put the address to Variant pointer. but i receive several errors .
