I have read that compiler allocates memory for an array.What does it exactly mean?For example,if compiler allocates memory at compilation-time,let's say it allocates memory address 189 for an array at compilation-time.But when I run the executable file and if that memory address(189) is not free,what happens?

What are the exact differences in these two types of methods of allocating memory for an array ? When does 1st method is useful and when does 2nd ?I also read somewhere that in Ist method memory is allocated from heap but i don't know from where memory is allocated in 2nd method and what difference these memory allocations causes.
Here is my code:
Code:
class Base {
};
class Derived1 : public Base {
};
class Derived2 : public Base {
} class Bar {
public:
void SomeFunc();
[code].....
MSVC2010 throws out compiler error which says:
Code:
no operator found which takes a right-hand operand of type 'Derived *' (or there is no acceptable conversion)
What I don't understand is why? The pointer is an address of 0 element of an array. So what is the problem? I can eliminate the error by using double pointer but it will be an overkill.
Do you have to allocate memory(malloc) for an array of structs? Example:
Code:
typedef struct{
char * name;
}First;
struct name{
First fname;
};
struct name Names[10];
How can i use memory pool with a char array?
Is there a way to allocate memory somewhere in the middle of the array?
i.e. allocate memory in chunks.
E.g. allocate 24 bytes at location arr[56] in 256 byte array.
Similarly how can i deallocate that memory?
I'm making some multi-threaded program, but thats not my problem as i've done that already. I have a class with user-functions containing a structure which then contains a two dimensional array for each user with 25 elements. So I dont want to limit the user and make the array for example with just 10 rows, but allocate the needed memory to match the amount of 'users' a potential user of my program would want. The problem is, that i know how i should allocate it using 'new int' but it just doesnt work ! It gives an error:
Error: no operator "=" matches these operands
UserStuff.h:
struct userDataStruct {
bool* isAdmin;
[Code]...
Then, in some completely other class function inside the file mentioned above: (I know i could do a function in CUsers class which could allocate the memory, but I have this function which is used for some other things and it already has the amount of max users
void OtherClass::somefunction(maxusers)
{
// This gives an error: Error: no operator "=" matches these operands
curUsers->uData.userNumbers = new int*[maxusers]; //maxusers is the int variable of max users specified by the client
// However this doesn't
for( int i = 0 ; i < maxusers ; i++ )
curUsers->uData.userNumbers[i] = new int[25]; // 25 columns, this doesnt give any error
}
I'm not really sure what I'm doing wrong. Doing this in some function from CUsers class works (without curUsers-> or with, doesn't give any error) but doing it from some other class's function doesnt.
I want to be able to dynamically allocate and index an array like the following: vv2d[1][2].x and vv2d[1][2].y. In order to accomplish that I have chosen to use a std::vector of a std::vector of a 2D point class.
Code:
/// Here is my templated version of a 2d point class which I have adopted from
/// one by Alexander Chernosvitov, Function Graphics, 2001 (see ogview.h)
/// http://www.codeguru.com/cpp/g-m/opengl/article.php/c5581/Function-graphics-in-3D.htm
template <typename T>
[Code]....
Boundary violation occurs as soon as vv2d[1][0].x is encountered. I believe the problem is my inability to dynamically allocate the size of the (primary) typedef vector. However, eliminating the typedef for the following does not change the result. Further examination shows the vv2d[1][0] size and capacity to be 0.
Code:
vector<vector<CPoint2D<double>>> vv2d;
vv2d.resize(3);
vv2d[0].resize(3);
I have one requirement to store an array of structure at shared memory. Also the shared memory should have one counter to store number of elements in the array.
I tried to look at some placed but didn't find anything relevant.
So my first question, is it possible that we can store two things on same shared memory. And second if not then how to achieve the same?
I have to allocate memory for an array of structures, and my structure looks as following:
Code:
typedef struct {
char *name;
Uint *start_pos;
Uint len;
}
example_struct;
And now I want to allocate memory, for a variable number (so an array) of example_struct, so I first do:
Code:
example struct *all_struct;
int total_num = 3;
//will be set somehow, but for the example I set it on 3 all_struct = malloc (sizeof(example_struct) * total_num);
And now, as far as I now, I will have to allocate for each field of the structure memory, in order to be able to use it later. But I have problem at this point, a problem of understanding:
- I just allocated memory for 3 structures, but don't I have to allocate then memory for each structure separately, or can I just now allocate the fields like this:
Code: all_struct[0].name = malloc.....
But if yes, why the hell this works...
I am trying to initialize a 2D char array of strings into POSIX shared memory to be shared between 3 other processes. There are plenty of tutorials on how to use a pointer to share a single string or an integer between processes, but I could find no examples on how to initialize 1D or 2D arrays using mmap(). I have posted what I have so far below. It is the first program, which creates the shared memory object and initialize the array char files[20][2][100] with the value files[0][0][0] = ' '. What is the proper method to initialize and share an array in C?
(program initializes shared memory object and array)
Code:
#include<fcntl.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <sys/shm.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <sys/mman.h>

I'm not sure if I should do this with malloc or a char array. What I need to do is create 4 methods to read and 4 to write to memory like this (and it has to be fast):
Code:
char GetByte(char* memory, int offset);
uint16 GetInt16(char* memory, int offset);
uint32 GetInt32(char* memory, int offset);
char[] GetString(char* memory, int offset);
So basically memory is the malloced memory and the offset is the position I want to read at.
I'm not sure if there's already a way to do this and maybe I'm overlooking something.
I decided I wanted to make a proper programming language with a virtual machine and bytecode. I used this tutorial: [URL] .....
As a starting point for my project. So far I have modified it to allow for 32-bit addressing so that I can theoretically use 4GB in my programs. Now the problem I'm having is creating the memory.

Suppose I wished to reallocate memory (resize) an array of pointers. Why does the following not work?(The program runs, yet yields a faulty segmentation error message. Why?):
Code: char **ptrarr = (char**) malloc(sizeof(char*))
Code: ptrarr = (char**) realloc(ptrarr, (capacity) * sizeof(char*));
When declaring char array[10], memory is allocated for 10 1-bit memory locations. Is extra memory allocated for storing the address of array[0]? In expressions, is array equivalent to a pointer constant or is it an identifier for a memory cell containing the address of array[0]? In other words, is array a variable or an alias for &array[0]?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI'm using C++ Form Application in Visual Studio 2010.

I have a contiguous sequence of section headers in a file (all the data in the file is stored in void * data), where each section header is the same size and has the same fields in the same order. So it's laid out like an array.
I have to:
- Use an offset value and the number of section headers variables to identify the location and length of the section header table (these are hdr.offset and hdr.length respectively).
- The offset value shows the distance between the start of the file and the start of the first section header (so I need a pointer to the start of the first section header)
- Apply a typecast to location of the section header table to process it as an array of section headers.
Here is what I have done, but I am getting a segmentation fault. What am I doing wrong? How do I fix this?
typedef struct {
unsigned int name;
unsigned int type;
} SectionHeader;

When you have constant arrays, they are stored in the programme memory space. Upon execution, they are copied into the data space for easy access. To save space in the data space, it is possible to stop it from being copied. Some compilers will deal with this by just specifying the array as const, g++ has a type modifier called PROGMEM.
In any case, the problem is that I'd like to generate some data, preferably without using an external programme to do it. Hence, my question using the template system. Now I could possibly use macro metaprogramming via boost instead of template metaprogramming, and I may have to go that route. However there are limitations, especially since its numbering system is only equivalent to an unsigned byte, which I possibly could use, but could become more messy than if I use the template system that has long long types as well as a whole slue of type safety mechanisms.
the question is; Write a program that prints out the memory addresses of each element in a two-dimensional array. Check to see if the values printed out make sense to you based on the way I explained it before.
Below is the code I have done. I am having problems printing the "-" sign to keep formatting with the board when the user enter in different dimensions other than [4][4].

Dynamic memory allocation in array in c programming. I am trying to make the user to choose the size of array they want to engage in the game.
However, i have remove the global variable which contribute the error to my code previously. Now I assigned all the arr individually but not using the global variable. However, i still not get the desired board i want. i still keep getting 9x9 array board.
And i also need limit the board size only from 4 to 9. And how do i do that.

I have a program that stores health information the user inputs, one person at a time. The program works perfectly with the exception of storing the data...I need to open a file and read what health data it has in it already, if any, but store the new changes, and appended data to the array of structures, to the data in memory. All of the information is only saved back in the file once the program terminates.

Having some frustrating issues trying to free memory from a dynamically allocated array of pointers to linked lists. I think the problem is in how I initialize the pointers to NULL. Is there a more elegant way to have the program recognize that the list is empty so it knows to create a head node for the linked list in the function 'add_end_stub_to_array'?
I ran the code through Valgrind and it says that memory is definitely lost from this array.
This is the structure definition.
Code: struct stub_edge {
int loc_id;
int anim_type;
int mkt;
struct stub_edge *next_node;
};
Here is the code snippet from main allocating and deallocating memory to the array.
Code:
struct stub_edge **stub_list = (struct stub_edge **)malloc( sizeof(struct stub_edge *) * 12);
for (i = 0; i < 12; i++)
{
stub_list[i] = (struct stub_edge *)malloc(sizeof(struct stub_edge));
stub_list[i] = NULL;
}
stub_list = add_end_stub_to_array(end_stubs, stub_list);
destroy_end_stub_array(stub_list);
Here the function for adding nodes to the lists by reading through a dynamically allocated 2D array. (The end_stubs array is ordered by month and each linked list represents events occuring within the month).
Code:
struct stub_edge **add_end_stub_to_array(int **end_stubs, struct stub_edge **list)
{
long int i = 0;
int mon = 0;
struct stub_edge *current_node1;
struct stub_edge *new_node1;
int break1 = 0;
while(i < num_edges && break1 == 0 && mon < 12)
[Code]...
Here is the function for freeing memory from the list.
Code:
void destroy_end_stub_array(struct stub_edge **list)
{
if(list != NULL)
{
int mon = 0;
struct stub_edge *current_node1;
struct stub_edge *new_node1;
for(mon = 0; mon < 12; mon++)
