C :: Unsigned Char - Pointer Type Casting
Dec 2, 2013I came across some code and it's not clear why it is casting an unsigned char * to another pointer type only to free it right after. Here are the relevant structures:
Code:
struct _Edje_Message {
Edje *edje;
Edje_Queue queue;
Edje_Message_Type type;
int id;
unsigned char *msg;
[Code] .....
As you can see, _Edge_Message has a *msg field, but in the function below, they cast it to the other two structure types inside the case blocks of the switch statement only to free it. What is the point or advantage of doing this?
Code:
void
_edje_message_free(Edje_Message *em) {
if (em->msg) {
int i;
switch (em->type) {

C :: Array Of Char Pointer Type Mismatch
Apr 20, 2013I have an array of char pointers:
Code: char *input_args[MAX_ARGS];
And I have this function:
Code: BOOL parseArgs(char **input_args[], input arg_num);
I am trying to pass a pointer to this char pointer array like this:
Code: parseArgs(&input_args, args_num);
But the compiler is complaining:
Code: warning: passing argument 1 of 'parseArgs' from incompatible pointer type ...
note: expected 'char ***' but argument is of type 'char * (*)[20]'
Tried a bunch of stuff but nothing works.
C++ :: Wrong Return Type When Returning Char Array As Pointer
Apr 25, 2014I am writing a class Player which has several char arrays as private fields. I am trying to write a method which returns an array as a pointer, but doesn't alter the array in any way, thus the const.
Here is a snippet:
Code: class Player
{
private:
char state[MAX_STATE_CHAR + ONE_VALUE];
int rating;
char last[MAX_NAME_CHAR + ONE_VALUE];
char first[MAX_NAME_CHAR + ONE_VALUE];
int groupNumber = NEG_ONE;
public:
char * GetFirst() const
{
return first;
}
Visual studio is saying that the return type doesn't match.
C++ :: Read Text File - First Line Has Extra Char
May 21, 2012When I read a text file. I'm reading a list of strings in text file, with one string per line. The first line has extra characters in the string, the rest of the lines read are fine, and I can't understand where the extra characters come from. The file format is this...
A
AA
AAN
AAP
AAPL
AAWW
AAXJ
....
...
Code:
std::vector<std::string> strSymbolList;
std::string s = "";
std::ifstream infile( m_strFileSymbols );
while( std::getline(infile, s) ) {
strSymbolList.push_back(s);
}
infile.close();
C++ :: Changing Array Of Numbers Of Type Char To Type Int?
Apr 27, 2013I'm having some problems with changing an array of numbers of type char to type int. Every time i try to sum 2 array indexed values it returns some letter or symbol. Also, if i change the type of the array in the functions the compiler gives me an error message. I would also like to add that the problem requires that the first two arrays be char so each individual number gets assigned to a different value.
My current code is:
Code:
#include <iostream>
void input(char a[], char b[], int& size_a, int& size_b);
void convert(char a[], int size);
void reverse(char a[], int size);
void add(char a[], char b[], int c[], int size);
int main()

May 7, 2014I have this program.
Code:
int test_variable;
int main() {
test_variable = (int)0x12;

Now my doubt is what is the advantage of type casting 0x12 to int. suppose if the test_variable data type is "char" then should i type cast to "char"?
C++ :: Char Data Type Variable
Jun 12, 2013I have two char variables, m_GPSOffset[13] and m_FileName[100]. When m_GPSOffset has a value assigned to it, say for instance +11:25:30. The first entry of the value, in this case +, is always stored in m_FileName. I am clueless on why this is occurring.

C++ :: Multi Condition Function For Char Type
Jan 30, 2013I have always written like a>='0'&&a<='9'&&a>='a'&&a<='z' in loops etc, but no more. Basically add whatever you want to condition, and if you want point a to point b just separate them with a '-' sign. Simply
while(!isCharInside(x,"|a-zA-Z0-9.*/=|-|")){/*code*/}
bool isCharInside(char check,string condition="a-zA-Z*/+=|-|0-9"){
for(unsigned int x=0,z=getLenght(condition);x<z;++x){
if(condition[x+1]=='-'&&(condition[x]!='|'&&condition[x+2]!='|')){
if(condition[x]>condition[x+2])swap(condition[x],condition[x+2]);
for(;condition[x]<=condition[x+2];++condition[x]){if(condition[x]==check)return true;};x+=2;}
else if(check==condition[x])return true;
}
return false;}

Oct 6, 2012If we are using strcpy() for copying the string. As we are passing pointers to it It will copy the string & no need to return the string .This function will finely work with return type as void then why Ritchie has used it as char* strcpy()?

C :: Set Variable Of Type Char Equal To Element In Array Of Characters
Mar 3, 2014I am trying to set a variable of type char equal to an element in an array of characters. For example:
char data[4] = "x+1";
char element;
element = data[2];
This seems like a logical progression from number arrays, but when I print both element and data[2], I get data[2] as expected, but element gives a different character every time (I assume a garbage value).
C :: Assigning Value To Char Pointer
