C++ :: Error Using (this) Pointer In Static Members Function?
Sep 4, 2012
I am trying to use 'this' pointer but i am confused why 'this' pointer is not available for static member functions.
Code:
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <stdlib.h>
using namespace std;
const int MAX = 20;
const int MAXPTR = 100;
class name {
private :
char fname[MAX], mname[MAX], lname[MAX];
[code].....
I am using GNU GCC Compiler via Code::Block
Error : 'this' is unavailable for static member functions
A static function can be called in relation to a particular object by a statement such as the following:
aBox.Afunction(10);
The function has no access to the non-static members of aBox. The same function could also be called without reference to an object. In this case, the statement would be:
CBox::Afunction(10);
where CBox is the class name. Using the class name and the scope resolution operator tells the compiler to which class Afunction() belongs."
What are the workarounds for accessing the non-static member variables of some class(Say A) inside static member functions of another class(Say B)? I am coding in c++. Class A is derived with public properties of class B. Any pointers?
I've been having a problem concerning the initialization of const static integral members with floating point calculations. I'll let his sample program do the explaining:
class Foo { public : Foo() {} const static int samplerate = 44100; const static unsigned short tempo = 120;
[Code].....
I know you can't initialize const static non-integral types on the same line on which they're declared, but I don't see why even an implicit cast to an integral type should be disallowed. I make my calculations using doubles, so I'm surprised that even though it should degenerate into an integer - it's still a problem for the compiler.
I have a little problem with template classes and their specialization. Here is a short example:
template <typename T> struct A{ // some typedefs
[Code]....
The above example is not compiling, because of the assignment of the const static double. Double needs a constructor, but that doesn't work (or seems not to work) with static.
I'm not sure, if it works at all in C++ that way. All I want is a template struct with some typedefs and a constant which is different for different specializations. Don't think it has to be static, but that would be better style, wouldn't it?
So on lines 36 - 39 (The commented out functions) is where I'm sure is causing this error because once I don't comment them out pretty much everywhere Flink or Rlink is used or defined I get this error.
The below code compiles without error using VS 2012 but with g++ 4.1.2 I get this error:
Code: main.cpp: In function 'int main(int, char**)': main.cpp:37: error: no matching function for call to 'StringHelper::stringToNumeric(std::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char> >)'
Here is the code:
#include <string> #include "boost/lexical_cast.hpp" using boost::lexical_cast; using boost::bad_lexical_cast; class StringHelper {
[Code] ....
This is part of a larger program so in reality StringHelper has more static functions but this example does produce the error the same as the code when in the larger program.
To get it to compile under g++ I had to assign the return value from substr() to a string and pass that string to stringToNumeric. Why do I have to do this for g++ and not VS? Do I have something wrong with my template function that g++ is calling out and VS is not?
#include <list> #ifdef TICKABLE_EXPORTS //Automatically defined by MSVS #define DLL __declspec(dllexport) #else #define DLL __declspec(dllimport) #pragma comment(lib, "Tickable.lib") #endif

[Code] ....

I know with such a tiny and insignificant class the dll export seems pointless but this class is actually intended to be a .lib ONLY. But it is derived from by .dll style classes, and through inheritance this error is the exact same as what appears in the derived class, I just imagine that the cut down version would be easier to work with.
Is it possible to hold either a static variable in a dll which is of a dynamic type, OR would it be possible to reference an external variable which is static throughout the instances and this variable can be chucked away in a namespace of mine somewhere?
I suppose my only other option (if this is possible) would be to define a maximum instance number and create a standard array of pointers but this could both waste so much memory when not in use and cause problems if I need more memory.
I am modifying a set of static variables inside of the class's member function. The static variables are private. An example of what I'm doing is as below,
utilities.h ----------- class utilities { private: static int num_nodes;
public: void parse_details(char* );
[Code] ....
I get a compilation error in the function void utilities::parse_details(char* filename)
which says: undefined reference to `utilities::num_nodes'
I'm working on a short program to calculate the mode of a vector of ints. I am new, so not extremely familiar with pointers, and passing items to functions. This is something I've struggled with (obviously, or I wouldn't be here). I am currently getting the following error when I try to compile this program using g++:
warning: pointer to a function used in arithmetic
I receive this error for the following lines: 66, 73, 75, 81.
I am not using pointers here so I do not understand why this error crops up, much less how to fix it. Here is the code I am struggling with:
All the undos and redos were working fine until the pointer data members came into the picture. The problem is that the values pointed to changed, but the pointers themselves did not. So restoring gives the same pointers but they still point to the new values. I think the solution is that the classes that are the pointer data members themselves need their own Mementos (which would be a lot of work because there are many data member pointers in my program). Is that the only approach?
Here is a sample code to show what I'm talking about. You can compile and run the program to see the problem it has restoring values of pointer data members:
If I need a static pointer to a class that is used globally(multiple files), and I only want to allocate memory once.
One way is to create a function that returns a static pointer of type class and call it where ever you need this pointer. My question is there another way to do this like with a header file and include the header file where you need to use the object of type class.
static class* function { static class c; if (c == NULL) { c = new class; } return c }
i need a function that will work for both dynamic and static implementations of a function to get the transverse of a matrix. so far, i have this
Code:
matrix transpose(matrix m) { int row, col; row = m.com_dim; col= m.row_dim; }
[code]....
this works well with my static implementation, but when i try it in dynamic it gives me errors. the function has to be the same for both dynamic and static implementation
I'm trying to call a function via a function pointer, and this function pointer is inside a structure. The structure is being referenced via a structure pointer.
Code:
position = hash->(*funcHash)(idNmbr);
The function will return an int, which is what position is a type of. When I compile this code,
I get the error: error: expected identifier before ( token.
Is my syntax wrong? I'm not sure what would be throwing this error.
I'm trying to create a public and static field in a class called ResourceManager. But when trying to access the field even from inside the class it wont work. I'm getting this error message:
Error 1 error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "public: static int ResourceManager::num" (?num@ResourceManager@@2HA)
Here's my code: ResourceManager.h
Code:
class ResourceManager { public: static int num; static void loadContent();
I basically have some code that lets users register callbacks into a callback table at a specified index. There is one element in this table for each event that can trigger a callback. I basically do something like this:
I need to keep a static variable in a member function of a class that I have many objects of. I've had some trouble with it, and when I read up I found that such variables are static across all instances. Is there any way around this?
What am I doing wrong with static members and methods here?
compiler errors:

In my code, I wanted to write log exception to some file.
So I created a Utility class & wrote a static method in that to write log message to file.
public static void WriteLog(string message) { using (FileStream fs = new FileStream(@"c:log.txt", FileMode.Append)) { using (StreamWriter streamWriter = new StreamWriter(fs)) { streamWriter.WriteLine(message); } } }
This works fine so far but I fear if two methods call this function simultaneously.. what will happen? Also, I want to access this same Utility library in my other "WEB" projects... will it work there too?Or else.. what will be the best way to log exceptions in any project?
I try to create small project in order to better understand how key word static works with templates . However some compiles errors crush my plan.
