C++ :: Smart Pointers In A Vector
Aug 21, 2014I am new to smart pointers and have a question.If you push a smart pointer onto a vector and then some where later pop it back off it will delete the memory right?

C++ :: Arrays And Smart Pointers
Aug 3, 2014I'm writing quite a large program that needs to work with very large arrays (up to 100 million integers). It is necessary that i can access every point of the array directly (without running through the array) and that I use as little memory as possible. I first wrote the program with pointers that point to allocated heap memory. It works fine but now I wanted to use smart pointers instead (so I'm sure to have no memory leaks). Here's a simple visualization of my problem:
#include <iostream>
#include <memory>
using namespace std;
unique_ptr<int[]> upArray;
int main() {
int nArrayLength = 10;
[Code] ....
There are 2 things that do not work how I would like the to:
1. It wants me to assign the heap memory in one step: unique_ptr<int[]> upArray(new int[nArrayLength]); But I'd like to have the unique_ptr in my Class_Declaration before I know the array length and allocate the memory later.
2. *(upArray + i) = i;
cout << *(upArray + i);
Those lines don't work! How else can I do it.
C++ :: Why Asterisk Required On Smart Pointers For Assigning Value
May 19, 2013When i try to compile this code it gives me a error during run-time saying "*program name* has stopped working"
Code:
#include <iostream>
#include <memory>
using std::cout;
using std::endl;
using std::unique_ptr;
[Code] .....
Why is this happening? Also why do you need the asterisk on smart pointers to assign them a value? Is it just because, or is there a reason.
C++ :: Using Smart Pointers To Sort And Relink Potentially Large Data Elements
Feb 20, 2014I am trying to use smart pointers to sort and re-link potentially large data elements. I have defined a class in my code for smart pointers, as listed below:
template <typename T>
class sptr {
public:
sptr(T *_ptr=NULL) { ptr = _ptr; }
[Code] ....
The object I'm trying to sort is a singly-linked list containing class objects with personal records (i.e., names, phone numbers, etc.). The singly-linked list class has an iterator class within it, as listed below.
template <class T>
class slist {
private:
struct node {
node() { data=T(); next=NULL; }
[Code] .....
The following is my function within my list class for "sorting" using the smart pointers.
template <typename T>
void slist<T>::sort(){
vector< sptr<node> > Ap(N); // set up smart point array for list
//slist<T>::iterator iter = begin();
node *ptrtemp = head->next;
[Code] .....
I must have a bad smart pointer assignment somewhere because this code compiles, but when I run it, std::bad_alloc happens along with a core dump. Where am I leaking memory?
C++ :: Delete Pointers From Vector
Jul 25, 2013I have something like this:
class A {
};
class B : public A {
};
class C : public A {
};
B*b1;
B*b2;
C*c1;
C*c2;
vector<A*>vec;
int main() {
vec.push_back(b1);
vec.push_back(b2);
[Code] ....
And it don't works at all. all i get (when playing with variations of this stuff until it compiles correctlly) is a memory leak.
For example, let say i have b1 address = 1234
I will effectively free the memory at 1234, but for a strange reason, the memory leak is elsewhere, for example, at 2345, and the memory value at this address is equal to... 1234, the address of the pointer i wanted to delete.
C++ :: Deleting Vector Of Pointers?
Nov 23, 2013Currently I am implementing the A* algorithm in C++. I have chosen to use a hybrid of a '2D vector grid' and two 1D pointer vectors to specific places in the '2D vector grid'. I have chosen to do it this way, so I can access the nodes using coordinates and also for iterating over the appropriate nodes(rather than the whole '2D vector grid').
In the below examples I have not included the full code because I deemed it irrelevant to the question.
vector <int> CInGame::AStarAlgorithm(vector<vector<bool>>& resistanceMap, int startX, int startY, int targetX, int targetY, int cutOff) {
vector <int> returnVec;
vector <vector<CNode>> twoDimNodes;
vector <CNode*> openSet;
vector <CNode*> closedSet;
[code].....
The error is:
_BLOCK_TYPE_IS_VALID(pHead->nBlockUse)
do I need to free the pointers or is it done automatically? If not then how would I do this?
C++ :: Deleting Vector Of Pointers?
Oct 14, 2014I made a vector of pointers and the problem is that I have trouble deleting the pointers in the vector. I used to simply do vector.clear() or vector.erase() however it does not clear the actual memory. And I tried something like this:
std::vector<Foo*> Vector;
std::vector<Foo*>::iterator i;
for (i = Vector.begin(); i < Vector.end(); i++)
delete *i;
C++ :: Iterating Through A Vector Of Pointers
Sep 4, 2014If I have a Vector of pointers, how can I iterate through that vector, to access the name function of each object in the vector? There seems to be a problem with my implementation, the output returns only random symbols.
Implementation of the name() function in Drug.cpp:
//name() is a function returning the name in the parent class
string Drug::name() {
string out = "Drug: ";
out += mName + " [ ";
//The problem is with this loop
for (int k = 0; k < mComponents.size(); k++)

C++ :: Calling Functions - Vector Of Pointers
Mar 27, 2013I 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.
C++ :: Vector Of Pointers - Abstract Class

C++ :: Sort Vector Of Pointers To Objects
Nov 5, 2014Im creating a program for a race. The Race class has a vector of results and each element of that vector is a pointer to a result. The Result class has a Time and a pointer to a Participant. So in each race there are various results and it is a result for each participant.The Time is a class that has hours, minutes and seconds. How can I sort the vector of results from the result of the participant with the fastest time to the result of the participant with the slowest time?My code is like this:
//.h file:
class Time {
unsigned int hours;
unsigned int minutes;
unsigned int seconds;
[code]....
What am I missing to get my code to work?

C/C++ :: Creating A Temporary Vector Of Pointers?
Sep 10, 2014Is it possible to create a temporary
std::list of pointers
I would like to pass a temporary
std::list
to the constructor of a class to initialize its own one.
For example, using a
std::vector
:
#include <iostream>
#include <vector>
void func(const std::vector<int*>& myVec) {
for(int i=0; i<myVec.size(); ++i){
[code]....
Can we do this? What are other possible problems in addition the ones I have just mentioned above?
C++ :: Looping Through A Vector Of Object Pointers
Sep 4, 2014Lets say for example I have the following vector:

and a function print() inside of class Component that prints the objects name.
How do I loop/iterate through the vector to access the print function in each object.
C++ :: Accessing Pointed-to Value In A Struct Vector Of Pointers?
Apr 30, 2013I have a vector (structures) in a struct (instances). I make a declaration of this struct called instance. The vector is a 3-layer vector of pointers, like so:
vector < vector < vector<scene::IAnimatedMeshSceneNode*> > > structures; (The type is from Irrlicht 3D). I have 3 nested "for" loops which looks similar to the following:
for (int a = 0; a < instance.structures.size(); a++) { /*note:vector size previously set*/
for (int b = 0; b < instance.structures[a].size(); b++){
for (int c = 0; c < instance.structures[a][b].size(); c++) {
if (1) { //checking value of variable not included in snippet
(instance.structures)[a][b][c] = smgr->addAnimatedMeshSceneNode(fl);
(instance.structures)[a][b][c]->setPosition(renderPos);
}
}
}
}
The problem is in these two lines, I think:
(instance.structures)[a][b][c] = smgr->addAnimatedMeshSceneNode(fl);
(instance.structures)[a][b][c]->setPosition(renderPos);
These are currently referencing the pointers, it seems. The program compiles but crashes at this point. I need them to reference the values of the pointers. Problem is, I don't know where to put the dereference operator (*). Where should it go?
C++ :: Hold Vector Of Pointers In Same Class As Instances Of Those Objects?
Feb 10, 2015Using SFML, I had a Board class which held multiple vectors of all of my object types in the game, and then it also held a vector of pointers to the memory addresses of these object instances, like this
class Board{
//...
std::vector<AbstractObject*> GetAllLevelObjects(){ return allLevelObjects; }
//so these are used to hold my object instances for each level
[Code]....
When looping through this vector and drawing the sprites of the objects, I get the runtime error 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0x00277000. I solved this error by storing the vector of pointers in the class that holds my Board instance, but I'm wondering why only this solution worked? Why couldn't I just have my vector of pointers in the same class that the instances of those objects were in?
C++ :: Vector Of Void Pointers Which Point To Array Of Characters
Jan 21, 2014This code work perfectly, as follows.
Code #A:
#include <iostream>
#include <cstring>
#include <vector>
using namespace std;
typedef std::vector <void *> gr_vector_void_star;
gr_vector_void_star output_items;
[Code] .....
Output of above code #A:
char * sentence = "Angel";
for (int i=0; i < 5; i++)
{ out[i] = sentence[i]; } // error: invalid conversion from 'char' to 'char*' [-fpermissive]
It fails to compile with error message "invalid conversion from 'char' to 'char*'".
C++ :: Vector Of Pointers - Push Back Objects / Constant Parameters
Apr 11, 2014I have a class called Question:
#include <string>
#include <vector>
using namespace std;
class Question {
string title;
vector<Thing*> posAns;
vector<Thing*> negAns;
[Code] ....
error: no instance of overloaded function 'std::vector::push_back()' matches the arguments list
argument types are (const Thing *)
object type is: std:: vector<Thing *, std::allocator<Thing *>>
So it cannot be constant, what if I just leave it non-constant? Will it be safe?
C++ :: How To Design A Smart Pointer Class
Nov 11, 2014smart pointer class is the one that take in charge of release allocated resource when itself destroyed.
recently,i want design a smart pointer class, it take in charge of release resource allocated by new or new[].
my problem how to design destructor, you should determine the pointer ptr is pointer an array or a single object.
the structure of this smart point class may be:
template<class T>;
class smart_pointer{
public:
smart_pointer(T* p):ptr(p){};
~smart_pointer(){

C++ :: Pass By Reference To Smart Pointer?
Jul 30, 2014I just want to know if there is any real difference between the two below, if yes, when would i use one over the other? I would thought the "&" is pointless in below function, as far as the data is concerned.., the only things is with "&", if the pointer address value is changed in Test function, it will affect the caller's copy of data. Both function should behave the same if data is changed.
Code:
Between
void Test(QSharedPointer<Data> data)
{
}
and
void Test(QSharedPointer<Data> & data)
{
}
C++ :: A Compiler Error With The Implementation Of Smart Pointer

Code:

C++ :: Smart Accessor Function For Multiple Data Containers?
Mar 14, 2012Suppose I'm writing a program designed to simulate a large company. I'm interested in tracking each company employee by the location where they work. This company has perhaps a thousand different locations:
class Employee {
public:
AccessorFunction1(); // does something
AccessorFunction2(); // does something different
AccessorFunction3(); // does something completely different
protected:
// Some data
[code]....
Once employees are created and pointers to them are saved in the proper Location vector, I write an accessor function, OrganizeLocation(), designed to do a number of operations on a given vector. The problem is, I have maybe a thousand vectors. How do I call this function and specify which vector I want?
Currently, I'm using this clunky solution:
void Company::OrganizeLocation(int a){
switch(a) {
case 1: {
for(unsigned int i=0; i<LocationA.size(); i++) {
LocationA[i]->AccessorFunction1();
LocationA[i]->AccessorFunction2();
LocationA[i]->AccessorFunction3();
[code]....
The key point here is that whichever vector I choose to operate upon, I'll do the exact same procedure every time. I hate this solution because it results in very long and repetitive code not to mention its very error-prone when you re-editing all those "LocationA 's into "LocationB/C/D/etc."
void Company::OrganizeLocation( string $WhichOne$ ){
for(unsigned int i=0; i<LocationA.size(); i++) {
Location$WhichOne$[i]->AccessorFunction1();
Location$WhichOne$[i]->AccessorFunction2();
Location$WhichOne$[i]->AccessorFunction3();
}
Or, if it can't be done in C++, is there a better design approach? Ultimately I need the Company object to hold multiple vectors but use one compact accessor function to perform operations on just one of them.
C++ :: Smart Array Class - Constructor Throws Wrong Exception
Jan 24, 2014Writing a smart array class for my C++ class. I'm running into a problem where the constructor apparently throws the wrong exception. Compiled on G++ with C++11 extensions enabled.
Code:
// headers
#include <iostream>
#include <utility>
#include <cctype>
// stuff we need from namespace std
using std::cout;
using std::cin;
[Code] .....
When I try to check the error-handling code, when I enter a size less then two, Array's ctor throws InvalidSize, and gets caught, all good. But when I enter a letter, the ctor also seems to throw InvalidSize!

C++ :: Comparing Char Pointers To Integer Pointers
May 21, 2013I 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??
