C++ :: Singleton Base Class - How To Implement GetInstance Function

Aug 20, 2014

I'm playing with the idea of a singleton base class, but I'm having an issue with how to implement the GetInstance() function in the base class. Since I'm trying to make this ridiculously simple for the child, I'd like to handle that in the base.

class Singleton {
private:
static Singleton* instance;
Singleton() { Construct(); } // Private to avoid other instances

[Code] .....

It would be easy to use like so:

class Hello : public Singleton {
private:
std::string hello;
void Construct() { hello = "hello"; }
public:
std::string GetHello() const { return hello; }
};

Then the instance would be handled like so:
std::cout << Hello::GetInstance()->GetHello();

C++ :: Calling Derived Class Functions In A Function With Parameter Of Base Class

Mar 30, 2013

Say I have 3 classes:

class Player {
public:
virtual func1();

[code]....

Say in my main class, I have a function fight(Player p1, Player p2) and I would like to do something like this in the fight function, given that p1 is the human and p2 is the computer:

//function fight()
fight(Player p1, Player p2) {
p1.func2();
}
//using function fight()
fight(human, computer);

When I compile the program, I got this: error: ‘class Player’ has no member named 'func2()' What can I do to allow p1 to call func2 inside fight()? I'm not allowed to use pointers as the parameter for fight() and have to use the signature fight(Player p1, Player p2).

C++ :: Derived Class Not Overwriting Base Class Function - Using Vectors

Feb 4, 2014

So I have a base class, lets call it base. In base I have a virtual function called update(), update just couts "base" then I have a class derived from base called derived;

it has a function called update(), update just couts "derived" then I create a vector called Vec it's initialised like this:

std::vector<base> Vec;

then I add an element into it like this

Derived DerElement;
Vec.push_back(DerElement);

then when I type:

for (int i=0; i<Vec.size(); i++) {
Vec.at(i).Update();
}

It outputs:

Derived DerElement2;
DerElement2.Update();

and it outputs this:

#include <iostream>
#include <vector>
class Base {
public:
virtual void Update() {

[Code] .....

and this is it's output:

Base
Derived
Press any key to continue . . .

C++ :: Can Base Class Call Overridden Function From Derived Class?

Aug 28, 2013

I just wondering if a base class can call the overridden function from a Derived class?

Here's an example:

//Base Class H
class BaseClass {
public:
BaseClass();
virtual ~BaseClass();
virtual void functionA();

[Code] ....

So basically, when I am creating a new object of Derived class, it will initialize BaseClass and the BaseClass will call functionA but I want it to call the function overridden by Derived class.

I know that if I call newObj->functionA it will call the overridden function. Right now I want the base class to call the overridden function "this->functionA(); in BaseClass" during its initialization. Is it possible to do that?

C++ :: How To Call Function From Derived Class In Base Class

Dec 24, 2013

Basically, I have a base class called MainShop and it has 3 derived classes which are SwordShop, SpellBookShop and BowShop. I want the base class to be able to call a function from one of the derived classes but no matter what i do, it doesn't seem to work!

Here is my code:

#include "MainShop.h"
//BaseClass cpp
void MainShop::EnterShop(Hero& hero)

[Code]....

I have two other derived classes, but its basically the same concept. I have a function in one of the derived classes and i would like to call it from the base class. This is one my derived classes:

//SwordShop derived cpp
#include "SwordShop.h"
void SwordShop::soldierShop(Hero& hero)
{
/* some code here*/
}

C++ :: Implement Member Functions Of Class Function - Failing To Get Input

Aug 17, 2013

I am supposed to implement the member functions of class Person.

class Person {
public:
Person();
Person(string pname, int page);
void get_name() const;
void get_age() const;

[Code] ....

The code I wrote is below. Where I am struggling is the program does not allow me to input age. Therefore, I cannot test if my temp for age works. It automatically defaults to 0 because it hasn't taken input. Here is my code:

// Program Title: Person function
// Program Description: The program prompts the user for first and last name and age.
// It then prints the output that was provided by the user.

#include<iostream>
#include<string>
using namespace std;
class Person {

C++ :: Base Class Member Function

Apr 9, 2014

I have encountered following lines in base class and I do not comprehend its meaning of "= 0" at the end of the member functions;

distance_list intersect(ray & r) = 0;
appearance get_appearance(vector & pt) = 0;

where distance_list is a list of doubles and appearance is properties.

In general, what does this "equal sign and 0 " mean for the member functions in the base class?

C++ :: Base Class Function Gets Called

Oct 26, 2012

Here are the classes:

BaseClass.h

Code:
class BaseClass {
public:
BaseClass();
virtual ~BaseClass();
virtual void printStuff() const;

[Code] ....

When I call printStuff, the DerivedClass's function gets called. Now, if I remove the const part from the DerivedClass's printStuff function, we call the BaseClass's printStuff function.

C++ :: Inheritance - Class Base Has No Member Function

Jan 16, 2014

I have a simple question about inheritance. Consider the following code:

Code:
Class Base {
int type;
Base(){};
};
Class Derived1 : public Base

[Code] ....

I get the following error: Class "Base" has no member "Function1";

That makes sense - as Base has not declared Function1. But how can I loop through a vector of Bases, and then if the object is of type Derived1, call the function Function1?

C++ :: Pointer Usage To Base Class Object In Vector Int Main Function

Aug 12, 2013

I know what are pointer's and how to use them but there is one point i am not able to understand. Below is the example code

I understand everything in the below code except 1 thing why i am using pointer to base class object in vector int the main() Function?

Code:
#include <iostream>
#include <sstream>
#include <string>
#include <vector>
using namespace std;
// base class

[Code] ...

Here is the lines of code i want to understand.

Code:
vector<Employee*> employees;
employees.push_back(&emp1);
employees.push_back(&mgr1);

I know if i will not use the pointer base class function "virtual double grossPay" will be called for both base class object and derived class object and when i will use pointer with reference to the object because base class function is virtual it will look for same function in derived class and if available it will execute it.

C++ :: How To Create A Singleton Class

Oct 6, 2013

I've tried to program a Singleton class. But the problem is that I don't know how to access the g_pInstance() function. Because this is not working because the constructor and deconstructor is private:

Singleton::g_pInstance()
Code: #include <iostream>
using namespace std;
class Singleton
{

[Code]....

I'm not sure of how to access any object, function, variables in the class when you are using a Singleton. How do you access that?

I'm just asking because I want to know how to do that if I have to use a Singleton sometime when I'm programming.

C++ :: Singleton Class For User Settings?

Oct 11, 2014

My current idea of how to work with user settings goes like this:

1. Create a class to hold all of the user settings.
2. Use that class to load/save/hold settings in memory.
3. Create an instance of that class once in the entry point of the program (int Main or whatever).
4. Pass, by reference this same class instance around to all of the other classes that need the user settings.
5. Once all other objects deleted, save and then delete the User Settings class.

I created a psuedo-code example below of this. My question is if this is the best way or should I be doing something else. In particular, I am wondering if somehow I can avoid passing the settings class by reference all of the time. Would this be a good case scenario for a "Singleton" type class?

#include <string>
class UserSettings {
private:
std::string SettingOne;
int SettingTwo;
bool SettingThree:

C/C++ :: Declaring Map Global Or Wrap In Singleton Class

Jul 13, 2014

#include <map>
#include <iostream>
#include <stdexcept>

[Code]....

SuperSmartPointer<int> ptr4((int*)ch); this line gives error error as double deletion will occur.

Solution :
1) make the reference map global variable.
2) wrap the map in a non-template singleton class.

C++ :: Singleton Class - Auto Seems To Return Wrong Type

Jul 18, 2013

I am trying out a technique for a singleton class:

// access controlled singleton, accessed through function "instance()"
// singleton is constructed in this function
// so that constructor and destructor will be used
class single {
// private constructor/destructor

[Code] .....

Playing around with the code in main(), I am having trouble with auto:

single& s = single::instance(); // works fine
auto a = single::instance(); // error ~single() is private

When I make the destructor public, the output of the program is:

ctor
dtor
dtor

So I fixed this by typing auto&. I'm still confused though, why wouldn't auto know I am returning a reference?

C++ :: Size Of Derived Class With Overriding Virtual Functions From Base Class?

Jan 21, 2014

The compiler creates virtual table for the base class and also for the derived class whether we override it or not.

That means each class has separate virtual table. when we get the size of the each class with out any data members... the size of base is -- 4 bytes(64 bit) and the size of derived is -- 1

The size of base class 4 is correct since it creates the virtual pointer internally and its size is member data + virtual pointer, but it in this case I have included any data members so it has given 4 byts.

But why in case of derived is 1 byte, since it the derived class has overridden the virtual function from base, this will also contains the virtual pointer which will be pointing to derived class Vtable, it the size of the class suppose to be 4 instead of 1 byte.

#include<iostream>
class A{
public:

C++ :: Transfer Values Set In Privates Of Base Class By Object Of One Derived Class To Another

Apr 26, 2014

I have my main.cpp like this:

#include <iostream>
#include "curve1.h"
#include "curve2.h"
using namespace std;
int main() {
Curve1 curve1Obj;
Curve2 curve2Obj;

[Code]...

Base class Score has two derived classes Curve1 and Curve2. There are two curve() functions, one is in Curve1 and other in Curve2 classes. getSize() returns the value of iSize.

My base class header score.h looks like this:

#ifndef SCORE_H
#define SCORE_H
class Score {
private:
int *ipScore;
float fAverage;
int iSize;

[Code]...

You can see that I have used curve1Obj to enter scores, calculate average and output. So if I call getSize() function with cuve1Obj, it gives the right size that I took from user in enterScores() function. Also the result is same if I call getSize() in score.cpp definition file in any of the functions (obviously).
.....

The problem is when I call curve() function of Curve2 class in main (line 23) with the object curve2Obj, it creates a new set of ipScore, fAverage and iSize (i think?) with garbage values. So when I call getSize() in curve() definition in curve2.cpp, it outputs the garbage. .....

How can I cause it to return the old values that are set in curve1.cpp?

Here is my curve2.cpp

#include <iostream>
#include "curve2.h"
using namespace std;
void Curve2::curve() {
cout << "getSize() returns: " << getSize() << endl; // out comes the garbage
}

Can I use a function to simply put values from old to new variables? If yes then how?

C++ :: Deleting Array Of Derived Class Objects Through Base Class Pointer

Mar 21, 2015

In this book, item 3 is about never treat arrays polymorphically. In the latter part of this item, the author talks about the result of deleting an array of derived class objects through a base class pointer is undefined. What does it mean? I have an example here,

Code:
class B
{
public:
B():_y(1){}
virtual ~B() {
cout<<"~B()"<<endl;

[Code] ....

This sample code does exactly what I want. So does the author mean the way I did is undefined?

C++ :: Initializing Inner-objects Of Base Class From Driven-class Constructor

Jan 6, 2015

Let's say I have a Car object , and it contains inner Engine object.

Code:
struct Car{
Engine mEngine;
};

In order to initialize the engine object NOT by the default constructor (if it has any) , we use initialization semantics:

Code:
Car::Car:
mEngin(arg1,arg2,...)
{
other stuff here
}

Now it gets tricky: Let's say a Car objects has 10 inner objects, each object has about 5 variables in it . Car is a base class for , e.g. , Toyota class. you don't want the Car class to have a constructor with 50 arguments. Can the inner objects of Car be initialized from the base class , e.g. Toyota?

Code:
class Toyota:
Car(...),
mEngine(...),
mGear(..)
{
...
};

The other options are:
1) like said , create a Car constructor which gets 50 arguments, then initialize Car as whole from Toyota - the code becomes less readable and less intuitive
2) Car constructor which get built-objects as arguments and initialize the inner objects with copy constructor . the code gets more readable but then you create many excess objects .

C++ :: Exchange Array Between Derived Class And Base Class?

Apr 8, 2014

Base class has an array, whose size is controlled by the derived class.

I can't use the STL and use a 2003 compiler, so things like std::vector and std::array are out. I also can't use dynamic memory allocation.

So I thought of a few options:

1.
template <int N> class myBaseClass { ... int array[N]; ... }

then class MyClass: public myBaseClass<8> ... etc ...

2.
have a int **array in the base and assign in the derived class.

3.
give the base some virtual methods such as int *getArray or even int &getInt for more safety.

C++ :: Invoking Base Class Constructor From Derived Class?

May 15, 2013

I understand it is done like this

// Calling the base class constructor
explicit CCandyBox(double lv, double wv, double hv, const char* str="Candy"): CBox(lv, wv, hv)
{
...
}

But how does the compiler know that you are initializing the base "part" of the object?

Or is this the entire reason initialization lists exist, to separate this confusion?
