C++ :: Faulty Use Of Constructor Of Dynamic Array

Aug 28, 2014

One can initialize a dynamically created array in the following way:

unsigned int * vec;
// ... do something to vec
double * a = (double *) malloc(4*sizeof(double));
a = (double[3]){(double[3]){0.0,10.0,20.0}[vec[0]],

[Code] ....

While there is no compilation error for the first assignment, the memory a is pointing to seems to change, surprisingly to me. This seems to solve the problem though:

memcpy(a, (double[3]){(double[3]){0.0,10.0,20.0}[vec[0]],
(double[3]){1.0,2.0,3.0}[vec[1]],
(double[6]){-2.0,-1.0,0.0,1.0,2.0,3.0}[vec[2]]
},
3*sizeof(double)); // NO C COMPILER ERROR

What does the first assignment do and why does it cause memory to change later in the program?

C++ :: Dynamic Char Array For Class Constructor

Nov 14, 2013

I'm writing a class that has two constructors. However, I can't get them to work quite right. One constructor has a parameter of an int (with a default value of 0) and the other has a parameter of a C-style string.

First of all, are these function prototypes correct for the constructors?

MyInt(int n = 0);// first constructor, int param, default value 0
MyInt(const char * c);// second constructor, c-style string param

Both constructors work fine in some cases but don't work in all cases. Here are some potential calls to these functions that are supposed to work:

// These two work fine
MyInt x(12345),
y("9876543210123456789"),
// The array assignment doesn't work when the value is negative
// I'm not allowing negative numbers, but I want to create the object and assign the array to 0
r1(-1000),

[Code] .....

Here's the private data from the class (from the header file):

private:
int currentSize,
maxSize;
char* digits;// Pointer to an array of digits

// Increase the size of digits array by 5
void Grow ();

C++ :: Fill Value Of Dynamic Array Of Dynamic Arrays?

Jan 4, 2013

I'm writing a program in which I have to use a matrix to represent a file in code. because it's a file, the size of the matrix is undefined, and therefore the matrix has to be dynamic. I found out that my compiler doesn't like dynamic multidimensional arrays, so I was thinking of this matrix as a dynamic (monodimensional) array of other dynamic (monodimensional) arrays. My program (and thus this example) uses unsigned chars.

unsigned char variable=something;
unsigned char**matrix=new unsigned char*[lenghtOfMainArray];
for(int rowNumber=0;rowNumber<lenghtOfArray;rowNumber++)
{

[Code].....

C++ :: Why Can't Static Array Copy Values From Dynamic Array

Mar 13, 2013

But it can the other way around

Code:
static_Array= dynamic_Array;
dynamic_Array = static_Array;

The second statement works and i'm able to print out both arrays with equal values but with the first

[code] static_Array = dynamic_Array;I get incompatible types in assignment of 'int*' to 'int [7]' is the error I get [/code]

C++ :: Constructor Not Initializing Array?

Mar 6, 2015

I am making a tictactoe program that requires me to have a 3 by 3 two dimensional array of integers, in which the constructor should initialize the empty board to all zeroes. The program complies, but it keeps outputting garbage values and i'm not entirely sure why, My print function isn't complete yet, since I want to print out the array in a tic tac toe format, but i'm more concerned with why it's printing garbage values, here is my code:

Code:

// header file
#include <iostream>
#include <array>

C/C++ :: How To Pass Array To A Constructor

Feb 24, 2012

I want to pass an array to a constructor, but only the first value is passed--the rest looks like garbage. Here's a simplified version of what I'm working on:

#include <iostream>  
class board {
    public:
        int state[64];
        board(int arr[])

[Code] ....

Why this doesn't work and how to properly pass an array? Notes: I don't want to copy the array. Also, I'm using MSVC++ 2010 Express.

C++ :: Can't Initialize String Array In Constructor

Jul 22, 2013

I am currently practicing designing classes. In one exercise, I am trying to store 15 words in an array, and randomly print one (using the rand() functions and seeding it with crime.

Visual C++ :: Initializing Array In Constructor?

Mar 8, 2015

I am making a tic tac toe program in which they are asking me to have a 3x3 2 dimensional array of integers and have the constructor initialize the empty board to all zeros. They also want me to place a 1 or 2 in each empty board space denoting the place where player 1 or player 2 would move The problem I'm having is, my code initializes the board to all zeros for each element of the array, and prints it out just fine, but I can't figure out how to re-initialize the values in the array to show where each player moves on the board... I was thinking about having a default constructor that has each value set to zero, and then use a setGame function that can change the values on the board to one or two depending on where the player moves....but I don't know if that's possible.....

here is my code

Code:

// header file
#include <iostream>
#include <array>
class tictac {
public:
tictac(int);

C++ :: Calling Constructor From Constructor Set Pointer To Null

Jan 25, 2014

VS 2012 / Windows 7 64 bit

class
class myclass {
public:
myclass(){/*stuff here*/}
myclass(int* p) {MyPointer = p; myclass()}

[Code] ....

it works until the myclass(int* p) calls myclass()

then the MyPointer will become CCCCCCCC (NULL value)!

is there a way to stop the second constructor from resetting the pointer value to null?

C++ :: Set Array Size At Compile Time Through Constructor

Oct 22, 2013

How do I set the size of a member array via the class constructor if I know the size at compile time. I can do this with templates, see below, but this leads to code bloats, I think.

So one class declaration but objects with different array sizes.

Can't use constexpr.
Can't use STL.
Can't use new.

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
template<int T>
class MyArray {
private:
int array[T];
public:
int getSize()

Visual C++ :: Initialize Constructor In Array Of Objects?

Oct 28, 2012

What the best way to initialize a constructor in an array of objects?

Usually I declare an array of objects like so:

Code:
Car toyota[100];

Is this the only way I know to initialize a constructor of an array:

Code:
for (int i = 0; i < 100; i++)
{
toyota[i] = Car(x, y);
}

Is this the proper way?

C :: Dynamic 2D Array To Function?

Jul 15, 2013

Code:
Int** d = malloc( ROWS * sizeof(int*));
for (i = 0; i < ROWS; i++)
d[i] = malloc(COLS * sizeof(int));
fx(d);

My question is, in a function declaration, why do I not have to specify the number of columns. How is this different than when I pass a static 2D array to a function, in which I must declare the function parameter with the number of columns.

Code: void fx(int d[][COLS]);
VS.
Code: void fx(int **d);

C++ :: How To Get Size Of Dynamic Array

Jun 12, 2013

I remember in C++, when a dynamic array is allocated, the size of this array is stored right before the array in memory. Therefore compiler knows exactly how long, when this array is deleted.

Do all compilers store the size this way? Is it a safe method to get the size of a dynamic array?

Here is a example code, it works fine on Visual Studio 2012.

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
class dummy {
public:
dummy() {
cout<<"dummy created"<<endl;

C++ :: Dynamic Map Creation Or Array

Mar 4, 2014

I need to create dynamic array or map. for example

CString *a1;
CString *a2;
CString *a3;

it minimized to using for loop.
for (int i=1;i<=3;i++) {
CString s="a"+"itoa(i)"
CString *s;
}

Something like this. its same as map concept.

C++ ::  Dynamic Allocation 2D Array

Nov 14, 2013

I need to confirm that this problem cannot be solved without a pointer. Namely I need to read the rows and columns number from the user cin >> m, n and then use to declare an array int A[m][n];

However as m and n are not constants I am not able to do that. Is there a workaround? The following is the solution I came with BUT using a pointers which should be not the case.

// solution with using pointers as "int A[m][n]" does not work for me!!!
void TwoDimensionalArrayFunc(){
int m = 0;
int n = 0;

// instruct the users to enter array dimensions
cout << "Please insert value for m:";
cin >> m;

C++ :: Using Array With Dynamic Size?

Feb 6, 2013

arrays with dynamic sizes. That being said, I'm working with a simple code which seems to work just fine, my only concern is that once I display the 'char array', not only displays the user's inputs but some extra data, symbols and what not.

why, if to my understanding the first user's input already sets the size of the array

#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>
using namespace std;

C++ :: Dynamic Allocation From Array?

Dec 26, 2012

I need to write 2 functions:

1. MyMalloc
2. MyFree
___________________________

I have a 1000 bytes global array (which did not dynamic allocated).

I need to make "dynamic allocation" from this array.

For example - MyMalloc(50) ---> The program will allocate 50 bytes OF THE ARRAY'S SIZE.
------
MyFree(pointer) ---> I need to check if the pointer is in the array and free the space.

It should be managed by blocks. The array should also contain the manage variables (for me).
