C++ :: Using Pointer In Union And Assigning Value
Jul 2, 2013
In the current code,We are using pointer of union and assigning value.
class sample {
union {
short *two_int;
int *four_int;
double *eight_real;
char *one_ascii;
// void *v;
}; }
Than we assign value in following way.
sample.four_int[0] = (x + xoff); ( x and xoff and y and yoff all are integer)
sample.four_int[1] = (y + yoff);
Than we write data into file. it was working fine into 32 bit machine but it is not working 64bit machine. When I compare data and found that data is divided by 4. For Ex The File generating from 32 bit machine contain 80 than 64 bit . File contain 20.

I have the following C++ code
typedef union UUID {
unsigned char byte[16]; /**< Array of 16 bytes. */
unsigned int ll[2]; /**< Array of two 64-bit words. */
} UUID;
[Code] ......
The compiler complains thus
$ g++ union.cpp
union.cpp: In function "int main()":
union.cpp:15:17: warning: extended initializer lists only available with -std=c++0x or -std=gnu++0x
union.cpp:15:17: warning: extended initializer lists only available with -std=c++0x or -std=gnu++0x
union.cpp:15:17: error: no match for "operator=" in "entry.EntryHeader::uuid = {0, 0, 0, 2}"
union.cpp:1:20: note: candidate is: UUID& UUID:perator=(const UUID&)
How do I go about assigning values to this union in C++.

I have union of pointer.
union {
short *two_int;
int *four_int;
double *eight_real;
char *one_ascii;
// void *v;
};
We have write function which write into file.
fwrite (r.one_ascii, 1, i, outstr);
I found one thing,When we write function, we fill only four int in following way.
r.four_int[0] = x + xoff;
r.four_int[1] = y + yoff;
So my question,we fill four_int but write one_ascii only.As is it union of pointer. So it does not matter. I am using 64bit machine and do not have any issue in 32 bit machine.

I thought we needed to allocate memory before assigning a value to a char* and also that we needed to use functions like strcpy() to copy something into it. Then how come this works and does not crash?
Code:
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
char * buf;
buf = "Hello";
cout << buf << endl;
buf = "World!!!!!!!!";
cout << buf << endl;
return 0;
}

I am trying to understand the behavior of following code. Basically how does printf() prints the value rather than address.
Does initializing value to a pointer during declaration makes a difference when assigned from a variable?
Code:
1 #include <stdio.h>
2
3 int main() {
4 const char *var1 = 'A';
5 int *vint = 10;
[Code] ....

In another forum, this example code fragment was stated as being an example of undefined behavior. My understanding is that a literal string exists from program start to program termination, so I don't see the issue, even though the literal string is probably in a different part of memory.
Code: /* ... */
const char *pstr = "example";
/* or even */
char *pstr = "example";
/* as long as no attempt is made to modify the data pointed to by pstr, */
/* unless pstr is later changed to point to a stack or heap based string */

I have the following code.
StackElement *StackElementArray;
StackElementArray = new StackElement[iMaximumDepth];
I want to assign one element of this array StackElementArray the address of another object. For example,
voidStackMem::push(StackElement &iStackElement) {
CurrentDepth++;
StackElementArray[0] = iStackElement;
}
The StackElement class contains pointers to some dynamic arrays. When I use the assignment, StackElementArray[0] = iStackElement;, it doesn't copy the complete contents and I have to define an 'assignment operator' function to copy all the contents. I am wondering if there is a way I can assign StackElementArray[0] the pointer to the StackElement object. In that case, I will not need to copy the contents of iStackElement into StackElementArray[0] and will just copy the address.

I'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.

I have the following:
int Allocate(int, int *);
main() {
int *Pointer;
int Elements = 25;
// this works just fine - as expected.
Pointer = (int *) malloc(Elements, sizeof(int));
// This DOES NOT - The value of Pointer never changes.....

im trying to port a code from vc6 to vs2013 and im having this error
Code:
Error11error C2440: 'initializing' : cannot convert from 'char *' to 'std::_Vector_iterator<std::_Vector_val<std::_Simple_types<char>>>' on this line
Code:
vector<char>::iterator BufIt = (char*)lpBuffer;
what i do with this is to stack fragments of data of type char* coming from a socket in buffer to a vector that acts as buffer, I do this since I transfer big chunks of data and the data gets fragmented by the nature of the sockets, I stack the data once its complete I retrieve the final result from the vector.
this code worked flawlessly for long time but now Im trying to port and compiler throws this error, whats the new way to assign a char array pointer to a iterator so i can stack it in the vector.

I'm trying to use a structure in union in the following format:
Code:
union data
{
unsigned char All[10] ;
struct data_pkt
{
unsigned char ack;
unsigned short status;
unsigned short data_length;
unsigned char Data[5];
}format;
}adb; adb.
All has 10 bytes which is equivalent to the structure bytes. ie 6 bytes if unsigned char and 2 short i.e 4 bytes. Thus total 10 bytes is given to adb.All. When I print the struct size I get 12 bytes. This creates problem in obtaining data in union. According to the program:
adb.format.ack should have the address of adb.All[0]
adb.format.status should have the address of adb.All[1]
adb.format.data_length should have the address of adb.All[3]
adb.format.Data[0] should have the address of adb.All[5]
But in actual case this is how memory is allocated:
adb.format.ack assigned to the address of adb.All[0]
adb.format.status assigned to the address of adb.All[2]
adb.format.data_length assigned to the address of adb.All[4]
adb.format.Data[0] assigned to the address of adb.All[6]
Why this is happening? How can I solve this?

How I could use unions to combine registers elegantly. For example I have the 8 bit registers B and C & I have opcodes that work on each independent register such as add b, c, which is simple, but then I also have opcodes that work on both of them as if they're one like ld a, bc. I know I could go about that by just masking them together but I've seen it done with unions before & it made everything so much more simple.

I have made VGA emulation with registers and memory in my emulator. But for some reason the writes to the union array with CPU data (register 0-8 of the VGA's Graphics Controller Registers, referenced with <GRAPHREGS>.DATA[index]) don't reflect on the union's data.
typedef union __attribute__((packed)) {
byte DATA[9]; //9 registers present!
struct //Contains the registers itself! {
//Set/Reset Register (index 00h)
union {
[code]...
what's going wrong? Have I made an error in the registers?
(In this case I write to register <GRAPHREGS>.DATA[8] (which should be the <GRAPHREGS>.REGISTERS.BITMASKREGISTER)), but the BITMASKREGISTER stays 0, while DATA[8] gets the correct value.

Classes defined with struct and union
Classes can be defined not only with keyword class, but also with keywords struct and union.
The concepts of class and data structure are so similar that both keywords (struct and class) can be used in C++ to declare classes (i.e. structs can also have function members in C++, not only data members). The only difference between both is that members of classes declared with the keyword struct have public access by default, while members of classes declared with the keyword class have private access. For all other purposes both keywords are equivalent.
The concept of unions is different from that of classes declared with struct and class, since unions only store one data member at a time, but nevertheless they are also classes and can thus also hold function members. The default access in union classes is public.
The above is a statement taken from a C++ tutorial. So I understand classes a bit better now but the above quote doesnt make too much sense. Is it saying that you can have a class within a class?

What i'm interested in is the behavour of a struct/union constructed like this:
Code:
typedef struct {
uint64_t num1;
uint64_t num2;
} st_a;
typedef struct {
uint64_t num1;
uint32_t num2;
[Code] .....
What kind of behavour could I expect from object, in the following cases:
1. newsomestruct(0)->u.a.num1 = 2;
2. newsomestruct(1)->u.b.num1 = 2;
3. newsomestruct(0)->u.a.num2 = 2;
4. newsomestruct(1)->u.b.num2 = 2;
5. newsomestruct(0)->u.b.num1 = 2;
6. newsomestruct(1)->u.a.num1 = 2;
7. newsomestruct(0)->u.b.num2 = 2;
8. newsomestruct(1)->u.a.num2 = 2;
9. Code:
somestruct* ss1 = newsomestruct(0);
somestruct* ss2 = newsomestruct(1);
* ss1 = * ss2; 10. Code: somestruct* ss1 = newsomestruct(0);
somestruct* ss2 = newsomestruct(1);
* ss2 = * ss1;
This is what I'd expect, but I can't find any evidence online in C standards or elsewhere:
1. Works as expected, sets the value of a.num1 to 2.
2. Works as expected, sets the value of b.num1 to 2.
3. Works as expected, sets the value of a.num2 to 2.
4. Works as expected, sets the value of b.num2 to 2.
5. Works as expected, sets the value of b.num1 to 2.
6. Works as expected, sets the value of a.num1 to 2.
7. Works as expected, sets the value of b.num1 to 2.
8. Crashes/Memory Corruption, attempted to alter memory outside struct.
9. Works as expected, * ss1 == * ss2
10. Crashes/Memory Corruption, attempted to alter memory outside struct.
I've tested simular code on my machine (Xubuntu 14.04LTS compiled with gcc on -O3) and it appears to be reliable, given that you stick with acessing the type tagged in the struct or the common initial union struct members (in this case num1).

I'm trying to come up with the union of two Vector ADT bags, so I have to overload the '+' operator, but I'm getting a bunch of error messages saying:
VectorBag.cpp: In instantiation of ‘VectorBag<ItemType> VectorBag<ItemType>::operator+(VectorBag<ItemType>) [with ItemType = int]’:
proj2.cpp:161:42: required from here
VectorBag.cpp:81:24: error: no match for ‘operator[]’ (operand types are ‘VectorBag<int>’ and ‘int’)
newBag.add(anotherBag[i]);
^
Here is the function to overload the operator:
template<class ItemType>
VectorBag<ItemType>
VectorBag<ItemType>::operator+(VectorBag<ItemType> anotherBag) {
VectorBag<ItemType> newBag;
for (int i = 0; i < anotherBag.getCurrentSize(); i++)
newBag.add(anotherBag[i]);
}
The add() function is pre-defined by me somewhere else in the code. It basically does push_back().

I'm trying to union eleven tables to call out data. Parent table is 'Events', child tables are 'SR1Laptimes', 'SR2Laptimes' and so on (there are ten SR... tables). Primary key in all tables is EventName. Parent/Child relationship is Events.EventName/SR1Laptimes.EventName etc All tables that start with SR have the same Schema. I'm trying to call out MIN(Q1) across all table but first need to Union them I believe. Here is my code.
myCommand.CommandText = "SELECT MIN(Q1), MIN(Q2), MIN(Q3), MIN(Q4), MIN(LaptimesMinutes), MIN(LaptimesSeconds) FROM (SELECT * FROM Events UNION ALL SELECT * FROM SR1Laptimes UNION ALL SELECT * FROM SR2Laptimes) WHERE (Events.Track = @track) AND (Events.Number = @number) AND (Events.Rider = @rider)";
myCommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("@track", analysisTrackComboBox.Text);
myCommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("@number", analysisNumberComboBox.Text);
myCommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("@rider", analysisRiderComboBox.Text);

I have some problem while allocating memory to a union inside structure. Below is the code i am using
ON SYSTEM1:
This works fine
ON SYSTEM2:
compiler complains saying "need structure or union type" while allocating MYSTRUCT1.
If I change:
shreyas[0].UnionAttr.struct1 = (MYSTRUCT1 *) malloc (sizeof(MYSTRUCT1)
to
shreyas[0].UnionAttr->struct1 = (MYSTRUCT1 *) malloc (sizeof(MYSTRUCT1)
This compiler on SYSTEM2 is happy. but second way does not look correct to me and compiler on system 1 complains about it. Which is the correct way to allocate memory?
If first one is correct then what should i look in for to avoid this error? Could this be an issue with compiler on SYSTEM2? If i use second method on SYSTEM2 code segfaults during malloc.
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
typedef struct mystruct1 {
int a;
int b;

I am currently working with win32 API , for image processing, one of the windows function returns RGBA ( colors ) as unsigned int , I then split it into individual bytes by creating a union ,
Code:
union colour {
unsigned int value;
unsigned char RGBA[4];
}
to spit the int into individual bytes, my Question is there a better or my convenient way of doing this.

Any way that one could create a bitfield using the standard technique of creating a structure within a union, as follows:
Code:
typedef union {
struct {
unsigned b0 : 1;
unsigned b1 : 1;
:
:
unsigned b(n-1) : 1;
} bits;
unsigned int value;
}
BIT_FIELD_TYPE; Except, what I'd like to do is to replace all the single-bit elements in the bits structure with a single statement that creates an array of, say, 32 values. The clear advantage of this is that it could be traversed using an iterator, ...
Code:
main() {
BIT_FIELD_TYPE foo;
unsigned int i;
...
for (i = 0; i < n; i++) {
... (print out foo.bits.b[i]) ...
}
So far, I've not figured out a way to do it, either as an array, or using a pointer to iterate through the individual bits.

I am having a problem assigning bits a value of 0. The data is a 16 bit integer the bits greater than the 12th bit have garbage either a 0 or a 1. I would like to assign all bits greater than 12th bit the value 0 no matter what their values are. Whats the best approach.

I am reading the book C Programming Language. On Structures, it says:
"The only legal operations on a structure are copying it or assigning to it as a unit, taking its address with &, and accessing its members."
What does it mean assigning a structure as a unit?
