Say I have an object and 10 pointers to it in several other objects of varying class types. if the object gets deleted, those pointers have to be set to null. normally I would interconnect the object's class with the classes which have pointers to it so that it can notify them it is being deleted, and they can set their pointers to null. but this also has the burden that the classes must also notify the object when THEY are deleted since the object will need a pointer to them as well. That way the object doesn't call dereference a dangling pointer when it destructs and attempts to notify the others.
Auto pointers and shared pointers are not what I'm looking for - auto pointers delete their object when they destruct, and shared pointers do the same when no more shared pointers are pointing to it. What I'm looking for is a slick method for setting all pointers to an object to null when the object destructs.
I have been struggling with pointers. I am trying to write a program that first asks a user to input a filename. It then checks if the file exists and if it does it passes a pointer to the next function. The next function then asks the user for a specific word to look for and the function will search a text file for the word and do some other operations. My problem is that I do not understand how to use the pointer returned by my first function as an input to another function.
The following code has the first function file_check() and the second function word_search() which I think the way I am declaring it is the problem.
I'm having some problems with a function. The function is supposed to find the two largest values in an array.
Code:
void find_two_largest( const int *a, int n, int *largest, int *second_largest){ largest = a; int temp; second_largest = a; for ( int i = 1; i < n; i++){ if (*(a + i) > *largest){ temp = *largest;
[Code]....
I don't see any mistake with the code of the function, but when I try to call it inside my program it only returns 0 for both largest and second_largest.
Code:
int *find_middle( int *a, int n); void find_two_largest(const int *a, int n, int *largest, int *second_largest); int main() { int n;
[Code]...
Do I have to declare the variables largest and second_largest as normal integer variables and then pass their addresses as arguments to find_largest or is that incorrect?
I am writing a code that creates a deck of cards using a doubly linked list. One function, newDeck(), is made to create a new deck if the user wants. I don't have any problems creating the deck and it all seems to work fine, but when I run the whole program and a separate function needs to utilize the nodes in my deck, I get an error. Trying to find where there was a problem, I tried displaying the values of a card node in random parts of my code. At the end of the newDeck function, after the whole deck has been created, the card still displays correctly, yet when I return back to main immediately after newDeck has been called, I noticed that the values of my cards changed to either random values or they became null. I found this strange because in between the end of my newDeck function and at this point, there is no extra code so it doesn't seem as if there is any way the pointers could have been changed. Maybe It's because I don't have a complete understanding of pointers yet but is there any way that pointers can change values when returning from a function to main?
newDeck(head, tail, n); //this is how I call the function from main. void newDeck(Card* head, Card* tail, Card* n) //this is my function body { for (int i = 0; i < 4; i++) {
the book I learn from gave a task to write a program which gets a matrix , and we have to write a function that switches 2 columns or rows the user inputs .as far as I know a function can not change variables in the main function without using pointers .so , theoretically, can a function described here can be written without using pointers ? as far as I tried - it can not.
I have a vector of pointers inside a seperate Exam class.
vector <Question* > question_list
The Question class is my base class in which I have derived sub classes for the different types of questions (MultipleChoice, LongAnswer, etc.). I am using my vector to hold the different types of questions.
in each of those classes I have virtual "write" functions in both the base and the derived classes, that write to a file differing for each type of question.
My problem now is calling the write function from a Exam function. I've tried several methods, such as:
for (size_t i = 0; i < question_list.size(); i++) { question_list[i].write(testfile.c_str()); }
but it comes with two errors: "error C2228:left of '.write' must have class/struct/union" along with "IntelliSense: expression must have class type"
I have made a write function for the exam class as well but am not sure what it should include since the Exam class is not a derived class of the Question class.
I'm trying to create an array of function pointers and then assign compartilbe functions to them, so I can just call *pf[0](xxx);
The functions are all of the type
void func01(unsigned char*, int, int)
how would I create an array of function pointers and assign the address of the functions to them? So I could call them like
ptrToFunction[i](charBuffer, 10, 20);
I've read a bit on line and I thought I could do it but so far I've failed.
It seems trivial and I feel I'm close but close isn't good enough.
I'd like to assign the fuction addresses like this: for (int i=0; i<10; i++) if (i==1) ptrToFunction[i]=func01; if (i==2) ptrToFunction[i]=func02; etc.
The actual logic is somewhat different than this but this close.
I am looking at one of the functions of an exercise:
void escape(char * s, char * t) { int i, j; i = j = 0; while ( t[i] ) { /* Translate the special character, if we have one */ switch( t[i] ) {
[code]...
Notice the while loop evaluates the current value in t to true or false. When we hit the null terminator, does that get evaluated as 0 and hence evaluates as a falsy value so the while loop exits?
When you login to my site my loginservice which is done by ajax and json make a session called context.Session["Name"]. With BreakPoints it shows that everything is good and the variables are in place. However when I use Session["Name"] it comes out as null.
I will add my code at the bottem not
using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Linq;
I am a little confused while comparing char pointers to integer pointers. Here is the problem:
Consider the following statement; char *ptr = "Hello"; char cArr[] = "Hello";
When I do cout << ptr; it prints Hello, same is the case with the statement cout << cArr;
As ptr and cArr are pointers, they should print addresses rather than contents, but if I have an interger array i.e. int iArr[] = {1, 2, 3};
If I cout << iArr; it displays the expected result(i.e. prints address) but pointers to character array while outputting doesn't show the address but shows the contents, Why??
I'm a little confused by my programming assignment this week. I've been working at it Wednesday and I've made progress but I'm still confused as to how I'm supposed to do this. The class I made is called Stack, and it's derived from a template class called StackADT. We also utilize a class called unorderedLinkedList, which is derived from a class called linkedList.
We're supposed to implement all of the virtual functions from stackADT in the Stack class. The Stack data is stored in a an unorderedLinkedList, so what I'm confused by is how to implement a few of the Stack functions because there are no functions in unorderedLinkedList which we could call to manipulate the data.
As you can see from my attached code, I'm really confused by how I'm supposed to implement the pop() and top() functions, and I also think my initializeList() function is wrong. We don't have any similar functions in unorderedLinkedList to call, so I'm at a loss of how i'd access my unorderedLinkedList. My initial thought was to call the similar functions in the class that unorderedLinkedList was derived from, linkedList, but I'm unsure of this is what we're supposed to do, or if theres actually a way to access my unorderedLinkedList without having to use the functions from the base class.
NOTE: We're not allowed to modify stackADT, unorderedLinkedList, and linkedList.

#include "stackADT.h" #include "unorderedLinkedList.h" template<class Type> class Stack: public stackADT<Type>{ template <class T> struct nodeType { T info; nodeType<T> *link;
But now I'm trying to use this to point to a function inside a class so instead of do11, i want to be able to point to Basic.Do11. Somehow this doesnt work and I keep on getting this message:
error: argument of type 'void (Basic::)()' does not match 'void (*)()'
I dont see any point of NULL in cstring. The code given below just outputs same as it would have done with NULL. My understanding is if size of char array is less than length of char array then null must be manually added?
#include <iostream> using namespace std; int main(){ char chr[0]; cin>>chr;//or if you use cin.getline; cout<<chr<<endl; return 0; }
Enter something: hellowwwww hellowwwww Segmentation fault (core dumped)
When I try to run this, I only get the message "Material pointer is null". So, somehow the pointer is null after the hitObjects-function is called, even though it isn't inside that function.
The resultset is always null and the connection is alive. The VS2013 debugger says that mysqlcppconn.dll has no debugging symbols. Tested the query on a mysql console and it worked fine, it returned 1.

I'm playing around with parts of code and am coming across some errors. Most of my concern is related to strtok(). I've used it before but with a char* named token. I used a while loop to continuously check whether token was equal to NULL. In the following code, however, there aren't any checks. I was wondering if that is why this code prints (null) while running. Also, I would like to know if it is possible to read input like this code attempts to do - assigning tokens to each variable one after the other.
So I'm writing a small program for class, and for some reason I keep getting an error when trying to initialize head to NULL. Even threw in the namespace just to see, nothin'.

There's my header file. Not sure what I'm doing wrong with the constructor.
EDIT: Got it to work with nullptr, but still curious why that isn't working
I am trying to query fields in a where clause using LINQ to SQL and for some reason I cannot figure out why it doesn't work:
var qryGetMonsterID = (from students in dbContext.tblStudentPersonals where (students.givenname.Equals(fn)) && (students.familyname.Equals(ln)) && (students.middlename.Equals(mn)) && (students.email.Equals(e)) select students);
The returned SQL Syntax is:
SELECT [t0].[monsterid], [t0].[givenname], [t0].[middlename], [t0].[familyname], [t0].[homeaddress], [t0].[city], [t0].[state], [t0].[postal], [t0].[primaryphone], [t0].[secondaryphone], [t0].[email], [t0].[username], [t0].[lastmodified], [t0].[modifiedby] FROM [dbo].[tblStudentPersonal] AS [t0] WHERE ([t0].[givenname] = @p0) AND ([t0].[familyname] = @p1) AND ([t0].[middlename] = @p2) AND ([t0].[email] = @p3)
Not sure but the values for middle name could be null - because not everyone has a middle name and the same is true for e-mail.
foreach (DataGridViewRow row in dgv.Rows){ if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(row.Cells["QtyOnHand"].Value.ToString())){ row.Cells["QtyAvailable"].Value = Convert.ToInt32(row.Cells["QtyOnHand"].Value) - Convert.ToInt32(row.Cells["QtyOnHold"].Value) - Convert.ToInt32(row.Cells["QtySold"].Value) - Convert.ToInt32(row.Cells["QtyAvailable"].Value); } }
The problem is when any of the value on the right side of the equation is null, the whole equation is invalid. I need to replace the null values by 0 on the fly so that it can be calculated. Note that I do not want to actually replace the null values in the second and third columns of the table, just replace it in the equation whenever it applies to make the calculation work.
In jumping into C++ it says something like this: It's not necessary but when you delete a pointer it's a good idea to reset it as a null pointer. That if your code try's to dereference the pointer after being freed, your program will crash. This happens to a lot of experienced programmers.
This could corrupt users data. delete p_int; p_int = NULL;
1. If you can deference a pointer after the memory is freed, why can't you just delete the pointer?
2. If you can do 1, how do you delete the pointer using code?
3. Every thing I've read says that free memory is handed out in a sequenced order. I don't believe that is true at all. I may be wrong. Why can't you put the data in any number of places if it will fit. Isn't the compiler smart enough to know where bytes (bits)and pieces are stored?
4. If you storing anything in free memory must use a pointer to it?
5. Can a pointer or something similar be used with stack memory?
