C :: Local Variables - Swap Char Pointers

Apr 23, 2013

I have the following code. According to this the values of pointers p[0] and p[1] remains unchanged since the swap is made to local variables in swap function.Now my doubt is how can I swap the pointers p[0] and p[1] inside the function swap??

Code:

#include<stdio.h>int main(){char*p[2]={"hello","good morning"};
swap(p[0],p[1]);
printf("%s %s",p[0],p[1]);return0;
}void swap(char*a,char*b){char*t; t=a; a=b; b=t;
}

C++ :: Thread With Lambda Function - Swap 3 Variables

May 13, 2014

I am trying to realize a simple code with thread and lambda function.

My goal is to swap 2 variable . I launch 2 thread,

The first:
Put his value in a shared variable and notify it .
wait until an event on a condition variable occur.
read from shared value .

The second wait until an event on a condition variable occur.
Wake up
read from shared value .
Put his value in a shared variable and notify it.

This is the code

thread t1([&p1]()->void{
m.lock();
nt++;
if(nt==1) {
//first thread
unique_lock<mutex> u1(m); ***

[Code] .....

Why it say error "abort() has been called " on the istr ***

Visual C++ :: Static Variables Local Or Global?

Mar 10, 2014

I came across the following code today and I was a bit surprised that it worked:-

Code:
std::string func_A () {
static std::string x;
if (!x.empty())
return x;

[Code] ....

I've simplified things slightly - but the basic point is that both functions are in the same source file and they both have a static std::string called 'x'. Being static, I guess they aren't (strictly) local variables. So how does the compiler know that they're different entities? Does it encode their signatures using the function name or something like that? If I call each function separately I do seem to get the correct string...

C++ :: Comparing Char Pointers To Integer Pointers

May 21, 2013

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??

C :: Use Pointers Instead Of Global Variables?

Oct 15, 2014

I have made an application and I have basically solved everything. But the only problem is that I am using global variables because it felt like the smoothest, so my program is built on it.

But now I've read around and I understand that you should not use these(?). Do you think pointers is the best think to use instead?I have previously declared my board array and some variables as global and I want them in alot of functions.I have read and understand the procedure for the use of pointers so I can use my int's in the other functions by doing like this? Code: #include <stdio.h>

int justprint();
int main()
{
int Row = 2;
int Column = 2;
int *pRow = &Row;
int *pColumn = &Column;
[code]...

But how do I do it with an array like this one? If I declare it in the main function, and then want to use it in other functions.Or are there better, easier solutions?

Code: char game[3][3]={{0,0}};

C++ :: Using Pointers Instead Of Reference Variables In Function

Mar 26, 2013

The following function uses reference variables as parameters. Rewrite the function so it uses pointers instead of reference variables, and then demonstrate the function in a complete program.

int doSomething(int &x, int &y)
{
int temp =x;
x = y * 10;
y = temp * 10;
return x + y;
}

I understand how to covert the reference variables to pointers, however I am stuck on this error. Either I get the error listed in the title or (with a few changes) the error "invalid conversion from 'int' to 'int*'"

What am I doing incorrectly?

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int doSomething(int*, int*);

int main(){
int X, Y, result;

[Code] ....

I have multiplied both x and y by 10 and then added them together!

Here is the result " //I really didn't know how else to use the "doSomething" function in a meaningful way. So... I just stated what the function does.

<< result << ".
";
system("PAUSE");
return 0;
}
int doSomthing(int *x, int *y)

[Code] .....

C++ :: Declaring Pointers Vs Regular Variables?

Aug 9, 2013

I really do not see the difference between these two declarations:

int myvariable;
int * mypointer;

It is said that when you define a pointer, instead of containing actual data, it contains a pointer to the memory location where information can be found.

But doesn't the other variable declaration do the same? It obviously doesn't have data either. And it must be stored in a memory location as well. So I do not see the difference.

C++ :: Returning Values Or Using Pointers To Redefine Variables Passed As Arguments?

Feb 28, 2014

Which is more efficient in functions? Returning values or using pointers to redefine variables passed as arguments?

I mean either using:

void ptr_Func(int *x)
{
*x = *x+1
}

or

int ptr_Func(int x)
{
return x + 1;
}

In terms of speed, memory use etc.I want to know general efficiency, I know it will obviously vary with different uses and circumstances.

C/C++ :: Convert Char Variables To String?

Apr 17, 2013

I need to find some sort of method to convert a series of char variables to a string, to be shown in a label. I've searched for two days and experimented myself just as long, and the closest I've gotten simply puts ASCII values into the string with the following command:

label1 -> Text = System::Convert::ToString(fdp8), System::Convert::ToString(fdp7), 
System::Convert::ToString(fdp6), System::Convert::ToString(fdp5), 
System::Convert::ToString(fdp4), System::Convert::ToString(fdp3), 
System::Convert::ToString(fdp2), System::Convert::ToString(fdp1);

fdp1-fdp8 are all char variables.

C++ :: Char Array Variables In If Statements?

Mar 25, 2013

I'm currently doing the exercises for the fifth chapter (Loops) and I've done all of them, but I wanted to go the extra mile on the last program I'm supposed to design. The program is a poll and all the input from the user will be with numbers. However when a letter is pressed then of course you get wrong behaviour from the program, it keeps looping endlessly.

Here is a fragment of what I think is the way of doing it - but of course it's not working

Code:
int p = 0
char anyLetter[]={"abcde"};//Initializing char variable
char a = anyLetter[p];
else if (userAnswer[n] == a)//if statement where char needs to be used.
{
cout << "Pressing a letter maybe? It's only with numbers. Try again." << endl;
continue;
}

C++ :: Dereferencing Char Pointers?

Nov 5, 2012

why doesnt the following program work as expected:

Code:
char x = 0xff;
char* y = &x;
if(*y == 0xff)
{
return 1;
}
return 0;

imo, it should return "1", but it doesnt. It seems like instead of comparing 0xff == 0xff, the compiler compares 0xffffffff == 0xff. Why?

If i use "byte" for this example, everything works as expected, even though it`s just defined as an "unsigned char".

Code:
typedef unsigned charbyte;

C++ :: Force Variables To Be Stored In Char Array

I want to declare a char* array, and then make any future variables declared to be stored in a specific location within the char* array. Is this even possible, and if it is how would I go about doing it. (I plan on storing any primitive data type in it (not classes or structs), and they may signed or unsigned).....

C/C++ :: Force Variables To Be Stored In Char Array

Jan 7, 2015

I want to declare a char* array, and then make any future variables declared to be stored in a specific location within the char* array. Is this even possible, and if it is how would I go about doing it (I plan on storing any primitive data type in it (no classes or structs), and they may signed or unsigned). I want to be able to use the variables like any other variable, I just want the variable's address to be within the char* array.

I am trying to make a program that is similar to a virtual machine and an emulator put together, and it can only run one os (which will be hard-coded into to the program). The reason I wanted to do this is because it would be the easiest way to make sure that all variables in memory are in one contiguous block, that way the part that manages memory wouldn't have to store the locations of each variable (which would have been necessary for the virtual memory manager).

An example of what I am wanting to do is

char* ram [256]; // Address 0x00 to 0xff

// Code to make sure that new variables' addresses are in ram[] if necessary

unsigned short a = 5; // Gets stored at address 0x00

unsigned int b = a; // Gets stored at address 0x00+sizeof(a)

C++ :: Initializing Array Of Char Pointers Directly

Nov 24, 2014

I'm learning OpenGL using the C API and some of the functions' argument types have proven a bit challenging to me.

One example is the function Code: glShaderSource(GLuint shader, GLsizei count, GLchar const** string, GLint const* length); It resides in foo() which receives a vector "data" from elsewhere Code: void foo(std::vector<std::pair<GLenum, GLchar const*>> const& data); To pass the pair's second element to glShaderSource's third argument, I do the following:

Code:

GLchar const* const source[] = {data[0].second};
glShaderSource(..., ..., source, ...);

Now I have two questions regarding this:

1. Can I initialize a char const** via initialization list, the way I do a char const*?

Code:

// this works
std::vector<std::pair<GLenum, GLchar const*>> const shader_sources = {
{GL_VERTEX_SHADER, "sourcecode"},
{GL_FRAGMENT_SHADER, "sourcecode"}
};
// but is this possible?

std::vector<std::pair<GLenum, GLchar const**>> = { ??? };

2. Is there an alternative to creating a temporary GLchar**, even though that's specifically what the function wants?

C++ :: Char Pointers And Random Binary Files

May 6, 2013

I'm new with working with random binary files. I have a class with a char* pointer stored inside of it, I also have a constructor that takes in a string (of any size) from the user. I then simply store this string into the char *. Once the string is stored in the char *. I reinterpret the instance, and I store the information into the random binary file. Everything works.

Question: Random files must know the size of the object that is being stored inside of it, so why when I enter strings of different sizes into the file, it appears to still be working. for example this is an example of the code:

class info {
private:
char *phrase;
public:
info(string n ="unknown"){
phrase = new char[n.size()+1];

[Code] ....

My point is, lets just say for example the object ETC, was some long string, this would still work for me. My question is, I don't believe each object is the same size because I allocate memory for the char pointer in the constructor.

Should I not do this just to be safe, and just use a char array instead of a pointer? (Even tho I would have set a pre-defined size for the string) or is something happening in the back to prevent this from not working?

C++ :: Swap Between Two References?

May 28, 2013

I have the following code segment:

Code:

void Swap(Number& num1, Number& num2)
{
cout<<"Before swap:"<<num1<<" "<<num2<<endl;
Number& temp=num1;
num1=num2;
num2=temp;
cout<<"After swap:"<<num1<<" "<<num2<<endl;
}

[code]...

to which the output is:

Code:

Before swap:13 11

After swap:13 11

13 11 that seems confusing.

why doesn't Swap() swap the two Numbers?

C++ :: Using Swap Function In Array

Mar 16, 2014

The idea is to make an array and have it sort the contents inside the array in order from smallest to greatest by using a swap function. I don't know why it needs to be done this way when a sort function makes the most sense, but it is what it is.

For simplicity I want my array to only include three numbers. I was thinking {18,-2,24}. My only problem is that I am not understanding how to translate the swap function in an array. I tried using my previous swap function from another assignment and translate it to work for an array, but it doesn't work and I am completely lost and stuck. What I tried to do was this:

#include <iostream>
#include <cstdlib>
using namespace std;
const int SIZE = 3;
double myList[3] = {18, -2, 24};
void swap(myList[0], myList[1], myList[2]) {

[Code] ....
