C++ :: Pointer Point To Pointer?
Jan 30, 2014Is this the correct format to point a pointer (pointer1) to another pointer (pointer2)?
&pointer1 = &pointer2
I am kinda rusty when it comes to pointers ...

C++ :: Pointer To Point Dynamic Arrays?
Jan 31, 2013Do I really need to create a separate pointer to point to dynamic arrays?
T* temp = new T[capacity_ * 2];
T* tIter = &temp; //Do these need to be here?
T* dIter = &data; //Or can I use *(temp + i) and *(data + i)?
(for unsigned int i = 0; i < size_; i++) {
*(tIter + i) = *(dIter + i);
}
C++ :: Constructor That Initializes A Pointer To Point To The Object
Aug 27, 2013I have a program that has a base class 'control' and there are 2 dervied classes 'button' and 'textbox'. How do i make a constructor in the 'button' or 'textbox' that initializes a pointer of the data type 'control' to point to the object that invokes the constructor. the code should look like this
class control {
//data
} class button:public control {
buton() {
//code for the constructor
}
}
actually i have an array of pointers of the type 'control' and as soon as any instance of a control like button or textbox is created the constructor should make an element of the array to point to the instance
C++ :: Assigning Pointer In Node To Point To New Vector
May 9, 2013I've got a struct called Node that contains, among other things, a pointer to a vector of pgm objects. (pgm is a class i've created)
struct Node {
int label;
vector <pgm> *ptr;
Node* lessNode;
Node* moreNode;
};
in another class, i create a vector and a Node and am having trouble assigning the pointer in the Node to point to my new vector.
vector <pgm> lessData;
Node* left;
left->ptr=&lessData;
This all compiles ok, but the last line in the code above causes a segmentation fault. I should mention Node is declared on its own in Node.h and what pgm is. including pgm.h in node.
C++ :: Linked List Node Passed As Parameter / Argument Pointer To Pointer Notation
Jan 17, 2014I was having problems changing the value of my head node I passed it as an argument as head which would be the address. The parameter was defined as struct node *head. like this
bool deleteNode(struct node *head, struct node *delptr)
I tried manipultaing pointer values to change head node value but it did not work. I saw some code online which used pointer to pointers(in code below) to change head node value it worked I dont fully understand why. Would like better understanding of why.
Would also like to know why the argument call needed &head instead of just head.
remove = deleteNode(&head,found); opposed to remove = deleteNode(head,found);
#include "stdafx.h"

C++ :: Calling Defined Function Pointer From Another Pointer To Class Object?
Aug 19, 2014I am attempting to implement function pointers and I am having a bit of a problem.
See the code example below; what I want to be able to do is call a function pointer from another pointer.
I'll admit that I may not be explaining this 100% correct but I am trying to implement the code inside the main function below.

C :: Print Pascal Triangle And Stores It In A Pointer To A Pointer
Nov 27, 2013I have to write a program to print pascals triangle and stores it in a pointer to a pointer , which I am not entirely sure how to do. I also have to write the file and read it, then create a binary file. Assignment is attached. I am not the best with programming and especially with pointers. I will post my code below.
Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
void writePascalTriangle(char *fileName, int heightOfTriangle, int **triangle) {
FILE *fp;
fp=fopen("writePascalTriangle.txt", "w");

C++ :: Get Pointer That Iterator Points To And Store In Pointer Variable?
Apr 19, 2014I'm making a system like twitter for class called ShoutOut.com I want to be able to get the PublicShoutOut pointer pointed to by the start iterator and assign it to firstShoutOutToDisplay and secondShoutOutToDisplay because I need that in order to pass the pointers to one of my functions. When I step through the debugger the values in start are all default values like "" and so are the values in this->firstShoutOutToDisplay but the message that start points to is being output just fine.
EDIT: got rid of irrelevant code. Am I using the correct syntax to do this?
if (start != finish) {
//getting these because a shoutout needs to be passed to the function that displays
//options for a shoutout
this->firstShoutoutToDisplay = (*start);

C :: How To Declare Two Dimensional Array Using A Pointer To A Pointer
Jul 16, 2013This is a sample program that declares a Matrix as a structure with an array as a pointer to a pointer. The following program is supposed to store a matrix in the structure "_Matrix" and later print the matrix just entered but it fails giving me a "segmentation fault". The sample code is given below

C/C++ :: Copying A String From A Pointer To New Pointer
Mar 4, 2015I need to make a copy of a string that is defined by char *full and copy it into a different pointer defined by char *duplicate. I have written code to do this however it will not work and i cannot figure it out my code is as follows:
char *duplicate = (char *)malloc(strlen(full) + 1);
strcpy(duplicate, full); /*Make second version of full*/
char *Ptr = strtok(duplicate, " "); /*Split duplicate up*/
I have a full program written but i know this is where the problem is because i have used printf statements to see where the program fails. I get no errors and it compiles successfully but it hits this point of the program and it just stops and windows automatically shuts down the program.
char *full is pointing to:
"To be, or not to be? That is the question:
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,"
I need to duplicate the string because i need to use strtok but i will need the original string later on so i need an unaltered version.
C++ :: Looping Through 2D Array Using Pointer To Pointer

C :: Calling Function Via Function Pointer Inside Structure Pointer
Mar 14, 2013I'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.
C++ :: Cast Base Class Pointer To Derived Class Pointer
Feb 6, 2015I create an instance of a base class (not derived class) and assign it to base class pointer. Then, I convert it to a pointer to a derived class and call methods on it.

C++ :: Accessing Inside Structure Via Struct Pointer To Struct Pointer
Jun 5, 2012"
#include <stdio.h>
struct datastructure {
char character;
};
void function(struct datastructure** ptr);
[Code] ....
These codes give these errors:
error: request for member 'character' in '* ptr', which is of non-class type 'datastructure*'
error: request for member 'character' in '* ptr', which is of non-class type 'datastructure*'
These errors are related to
"
*ptr->character='a';
printf("Ptr: %c",*ptr->character);
"
I want to access "character" data inside the structure "trial" by a pointer to pointer "ptr" inside function "function",but I couldn't find a way to do this.
C++ :: Getting Segfault With Pointer To Pointer?
May 19, 2013I'm trying to store an array of vectors using a double pointer as a 2D array, but after the first "vector" (column) has been filled, I get a segfault. I correctly included all the libraries needed, and declared all the variables; I am using this function to allocate the space for the array:
double **vec_array(int rows,int clms)
/*allocates a double matrix with -rows- rows and -clms- columns */
{
int i;
double **m;
[Code].....
I get no error while compiling, but when I run the program I get a segfault right after having read the first vector: switching on the check I get in my output just the components of the first vector and then the segfault:
Terminal:
$ ./myprog input_data.dat
0.000000 0.512468 -0.152468
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
C :: Why A Char Pointer Increments 1 Where As Int Pointer Increments 4
Apr 25, 2014Code:
char *ptr;
printf("Output: %d %d %d
",sizeof(ptr), ptr, ptr+1);
Output: 4 214734480 214734481
int *ptr;
printf("Output: %d %d %d
",sizeof(ptr), ptr, ptr+1);
Output: 4 214734480 214734484 when size of the pointer is the same "4 bytes" whether its a char pointer or a int pointer, but why a char pointer increments 1 where as int pointer increments 4.

C :: Integration Using Pointer
Apr 25, 2013So I was playing around with trying to do an integral using pointers. I've written what I'm trying to do already using arrays
Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <math.h>
#define RANGE 500 // Final temp = T0 + RANGE
int main() {
int i, j, h = 1, T0 = 300;
float k300 = 148, alpha = -1.25;
[Code] ...
Which works just fine. Instead I want to try to go through it using pointers. Is there a good way to go through the first loop above, something like?
Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <math.h>
#define N 501 // Final temp = T0 + N
int main() {
int T0 = 300;
float k300 = 148, alpha = -1.25;

C :: Initialization Of A Pointer
Apr 27, 2013Here is a function,which deletes the spaces of a string...
char *removespaces(char *s1) {

int i,j=0;
for (i = 0; i<strlen(s1); i++){
if (s1[i]!=' ') {
s2[j]=s1[i];

why I have to initialize the pointer *s2 with the first element of the array s1...???If I don't initialize the pointer,or initialize it with something else,I get a segmentation fault...
C :: Pointer To Bool
Oct 21, 2013Can I do the following? Is it a good practice?

{
bAct[i] = true; //initialize
}
I need an array of bools for my application.
C :: Using Pointer With A Function
Mar 6, 2015I tried to use pointer with a function but I guess I am missing out on something

int *c,*d;
*c = *c+1;
*d = *d-1;

C :: Default Value Of Pointer
Feb 28, 2014Following is the code snippet
Code:
[COLOR=white !important]?
1
2
3
4
5 char str1[]="Bombay";
char str2[]="Pune";
char *s1=str,*s2=str2;
while(*s1++=*s2=str2);
printf("%s",str1);
Output of this code comes out to be Pune
But according to me output should be puneay.
Pune should be copied in place of Bomb.and rest should be as it is.
