I defined a virtual class and three other classes based on it. I want to use them like this:
int main() {
Dirichlet_t D;
Neumann_t N;
Cauchy_t C;
PDEBoundary_t * B1=& D;
PDEBoundary_t * B2=& N;
PDEBoundary_t * B3=& C;
[Code] .....
but I got two major errors
1: "object f abstract type is not allowed" error.-----why not?
2: "the derived class must implement the inherited pure virtual method"-----Did't I?
I want to overload pure virtual function from 3rd party SDK class to put my debug messages like that:
errorStatus aXsaction(){printf(_T("
abort transaction"));transactionManager->abortTransaction();}
#define transactionManager->abortTransaction() aXsaction()
But compiler complains on the minus sign:
error C2008: '-' : unexpected in macro definition
Is it possible to trick the compiler?
if we do a virtual functions(polymorphism) why we need re-declare the functions(when we create a new class derived from other)?
View 10 Replies View RelatedConsider the class specification below. Write the prototype (i.e. header) of a member function to overload the insertion operator (i.e. <<). The << operator is to output the data members of an instance of class StudentTestScores into an output stream. Your definition should allow for chaining of output operations (e.g. cout << x << y; where x and y are of type StduentTestScires).
#include <string>
using namespace std;
class StudentTestScores{
private:
string studentName;
float *testScores; // used to point to an array of test scores
int numTestScores; // number of test scores

Instead of this:
#include <iostream>
struct Object {
int size; // Want to avoid this because size is (almost always) constant
Object (int s): size(s) {} // for every Object subtype.
[Code] ....
I want this:
#include <iostream>
struct Object {
virtual int getSize() const = 0;
};
struct Block: Object {
int getSize() const {return 5;} // always 5, except once in a blue moon it may change
[Code] ....
The Decorator Pattern works (getSize() can then return 6) but it is a poor choice for my program because it will cause more problems (due to many containers holding its old address, among other things. Any way to achieve this without any change of address, and without creating new storage somewhere, either inside the class or outside the class (too much responsibility to follow that stored value for the rest of the program just for this rare change, and creating a data member uses up too much memory for the many, many Block instances)?
I'm writing a class "Property" for a program that manages different types of properties. This is my .h for y base class. I was trying to write a virtual void function to convert different children classes to strings that can be displayed, but Xcode is freaking out.
I had it as:
virtual void toString()= 0;
and it gave me an error message: "Virtual can only exist in non-static member functions" and "field has incomplete type 'void'"
I changed it to:
virtual string toString() = 0;
and the error message didn't change.
Is this an issue with Xcode or did I do something wrong? Even after changing it to string it told me that it "has incomplete type 'void'"....

I've got the following code with output. I can't figure out myself why it's what printed out there. I believe, it has something to deal with overloading/overriding/virtual functions implementations in C++:
class Base{
public: virtual void f(int);
virtual void f(double);
}
[Code].....
Thus here're my conclusions:
1) in line
d.f(1.0);
for some reason compiler preferred casting double->int of the argument and then call to 'Derived::f(int)'.
2)in line
pb->f(1.0);
for some reason compiler preferred call to 'Base::f(double);'. 'Base' is static type of pb, but the dynamic type is 'Derived'.
I believe the answer has to deal with the fact whether virtual table contains in addition to functions' names also the types of arguments they accept. AFAIK, vTable doesn't include such info.
I've got the following code which demonstrates a problem :
Code:
struct A {
double x[2];
double i;
};
struct B : virtual public A {
double y[2];

I'm wondering if this is a compiler bug. Why doesn't the pointer-to-(derived)-member work for the array if it works for the non-array?
In my MFC, CMyPorpertyPageDlg is derived from CPropertyPage. How to access its member function from a nonmember function in the same CPP file?.

I am a beginner, got confused about:
template<typename T> int compare(T &a,T &b);
int compare(const char *a,const char *b);
char ch_arr1[6]="world",ch_arr2[6]="hello";
compare(ch_arr1,ch_arr2);
After running the code above,we got to know the non-template function is called. What I know is that the array arguments ch_arr1,ch_arr2 will not be converted to char * because the parameters are references in the template functions.
ch_arr1,ch_arr2 need to be converted to const char * if compare(const char *a,const char *b) were called.
I just wanna know what exactly happened behind that? and why?
I want to be able to do
someFunction(MyObject)
rather than
someFunction(MyObject.getWhatIWant())
I know I can do &MyObject, MyObject() and MyObject[0] by overloading operators but is it possible with just plain old MyObject?
this is assuming that I have no access to someFunction(), i.e, it cannot be modified.
Firstly, is it legal to overload a template function in a class? This is what I did
class FILE_txt
{
public:
FILE_txt(const char* );

Say I have a class that requires dynamic allocation to implement a few of the operators. Take "+" for example; I need to create a new object to hold the sum of the two parameters whose size is not known at compile time.
I'm pretty sure the standard way to indicate a failure inside the overloading function would be to throw an exception. However I am currently involved in an embedded(ish) project where the spec. says no exceptions are to be used.
I think I have 2 options:
1. Return an "invalid" object (with a flag indicating an error has occurred) and check for this after each operation.
a = b + c
if (a.err)
// handle error
or
2. To forsake operator overloading entirely and think up a new way of doing things where all functions that involve dynamic allocation can return error codes. but this seems rather terrible too as I may end up with something like:
objA a
if (add(&a, b, c) == -1) // assuming b and c are initialized before this snippet starts
// handle error
Is there a number 3 that I haven't thought of? It seems that not allowing exceptions is fairly common even in the non-embedded world [URL] so how is this normally done? or is operator overloading usually avoided when exceptions are not allowed?
I want to overload prefix and postfix increment(++) operators with friend function. I also have to use the constructors for this. How can I do this? in C++
View 4 Replies View RelatedI get the following error in XCode whenever I try to access the member I created 'randomGen' in a separate class in a different header file. I have made sure to include the header file and have tried to access it through an object.
This is the code I enter when trying to access the method from randomiser.h in main.cpp. It is also an overloaded function with doubles and integers:

I have tried seperating the code for the functions in another class (main.cpp) and then running and it seems to works, so I'm not sure why I can't put everything in the .h file and then access it?
I would like it in a seperate file so it doesn't clutter my main. I am writing a game with SDL so that might be confusing and I would like the window to have a random title and other random properties, so it would be easier to use a function.
If I wanted to call a member function inside another member function, how would I do that, if it's possible?
For example, if I have Find(int key) defined already and wanted to call it while i was overloading operator+.
I'm having some issues with my code.

have a look-

my question is why we can't directly call the member function of the desired class instead of using virtual function.
***********same program using virtual keyword*******************
class Base
{

Why we generally prefer the 2nd one i.e with virtual keyword. why we can't directly call the member function of the desired class instead of using virtual function...make me understand this point..
I have this header file called Shape.h containing these function declarations. and a Shape.cpp which contains the body of the function. I am not showing it since it is not needed.

I wrote the following program, it can be compiled and run, but there is warning saying that if virtual function is defined, there should be a destructor. How to do that I tried many different ways I can thought of, but none of them works.

As i know a non-constant member function cant be called inside a constant member function but how the above code has been compiled successfully and giving the expected result .
I am trying to bend my head around polymorphism but I can't figure out how to use the virtual method properly. I have the following superclass:
Code: class comparable
{
public:
comparable();
virtual bool compare(comparable &other)=0;
}; and the subclass:
Code: class score : public comparable
{
public:
score(string player,int highscore);
bool compare(comparable &other);
string name;
int highscore;
};
My problem is that I do not know how to define the virtual function compare in the subclass score:
Code: bool score::compare(comparable &other){
if(this->highscore > other.???){
...
}
}
How do I tell the compiler that the type is of score?

I have found that when I dump a C++ object from memory to a file - it seems that there is a misplacement of the last Virtual-Function-Table pointer - in that appears at the beginning. The result is that the gdump information based on this object dump (using green hills) is incorrect. I copied the contents of the gdump information below. The executable is compiled in linux.
Basically MEIO::CameraStatus contains an item that relates to its parent class (line 188). Then it has 18 items that are all Diagnostics::EventsCounter items. Now for each Diagnostics::EventsCounter item there is a Virtual-Function-Table Info Pointer as its last item. All is fine and good except that the last item of MEIO::CameraStatus which is _selfReset is missing its last item of 4 bytes (which is the Virtual-Function-Table Info Pointer ). On the other hand - right before the first Diagnostics::EventsCounter item ("_vidErrors") - there is an extra 4 bytes which happens to be the Virtual-Function-Table Info Pointer. As I said the gdump information file does not see this.
Why the object memory "moves" the last Virtual-Function-Table Info Pointer to the beginning (right before _vidErrors) and is there a way to "fix" this?
