C++ :: Allocating Space Only For Two Characters

Jan 15, 2013

I am allocating space only for two characters but it fits all of them, if you run this it will print the whole string literal "hello my friend". How is that possible?

I am using gcc 4.6.3., I know about strncpy().

#include<iostream>
#include<cstring>
using namespace std;
int main(){
char* str = new char[2];
strcpy(str, "hello my friend");
cout << str << endl;
return 0;
}

C++ :: Not Allocating Enough Memory To Pointer?

Jan 24, 2014

I wrote the following C++ constructor, and I get an error - BUFFER too small on strcpy_s

Trace::Trace(const char *str) {
if (str) {
int len = strlen(str);
this->m_name = new char[len+1]; // asking for 'len+1' memory elements of char
strcpy_s(m_name, len, str); // **** I get here an error "BUFFER TOO SMALL" ****

C++ :: Declare Not Allocating Storage?

Jan 22, 2014

decalration won't allocate storage, while definition will. This is a test program:

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
extern int ei;
int i;

[Code].....

Others are all fine in this program except ei.
compiler error: undefined reference to ei.

I understand ei is only declared so there is no memory address, but when I do ei=1, then ei completed it's definition, why still cannot use pei to get it's address?

C++ :: Dynamically Allocating Multidimensional Array?

Nov 24, 2013

Working on this one from the Jumping into c++ book. The book asks that I create a multidimensional array at run time based on user input and fill it with a multiplication table

My code compiles fine but throws an uninitiated error for p when I try and run it.

Code:
void multiDimentionalMultiplication(int x, int y, int z){
int ***p;
**p = new int[x];
std::cout << "Allocating array.

C :: Under-allocating Memory For A Tagged Union

Mar 6, 2015

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).

C++ :: Dynamically Allocating One Dimension Of 3D Array?

Jun 14, 2013

I am trying to figure out the syntax to dynamically allocate a single dimension of a triple dimensional array. Basically i have a 2D array of structs. but each struct is an array (basically rows of the information). The rows of this structure need to be allocated dynamically, but the height and width of the overarching structure are static.

Basically: Struct * ts_FieldInfo[100][100] = new Struct[Class.returndataitems()];

C/C++ :: Dynamically Allocating Pointer Array

Apr 15, 2014

so I have this code that dynamically allocates a pointer array increasing and removing elements of the array as its operated on.then it sorts and prints out the array when the user is finished operation on the array. i get this error message when running the program though.

"Unhandled exception at 0x0F474F98 (msvcr110d.dll) in Lab10_VarArray.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0xCCCCCCC0."

this is my code

#include <iostream>
#include <cstdlib>
#include "Header.h"
using std::cout; using std::endl; using std::cin;
int main(void) {
char op='x';

C/C++ :: Allocating Memory For 2D Array In Other Class?

Jun 10, 2014

I'm making some multi-threaded program, but thats not my problem as i've done that already. I have a class with user-functions containing a structure which then contains a two dimensional array for each user with 25 elements. So I dont want to limit the user and make the array for example with just 10 rows, but allocate the needed memory to match the amount of 'users' a potential user of my program would want. The problem is, that i know how i should allocate it using 'new int' but it just doesnt work ! It gives an error:

Error: no operator "=" matches these operands

UserStuff.h:
struct userDataStruct {
bool* isAdmin;

[Code]...

Then, in some completely other class function inside the file mentioned above: (I know i could do a function in CUsers class which could allocate the memory, but I have this function which is used for some other things and it already has the amount of max users

void OtherClass::somefunction(maxusers)
{
// This gives an error: Error: no operator "=" matches these operands
curUsers->uData.userNumbers = new int*[maxusers]; //maxusers is the int variable of max users specified by the client
// However this doesn't
for( int i = 0 ; i < maxusers ; i++ )
curUsers->uData.userNumbers[i] = new int[25]; // 25 columns, this doesnt give any error
}

I'm not really sure what I'm doing wrong. Doing this in some function from CUsers class works (without curUsers-> or with, doesn't give any error) but doing it from some other class's function doesnt.

C++ :: Allocating Memory For Vectorized 2D Array?

Mar 2, 2015

I want to be able to dynamically allocate and index an array like the following: vv2d[1][2].x and vv2d[1][2].y. In order to accomplish that I have chosen to use a std::vector of a std::vector of a 2D point class.

Code:
/// Here is my templated version of a 2d point class which I have adopted from
/// one by Alexander Chernosvitov, Function Graphics, 2001 (see ogview.h)
/// http://www.codeguru.com/cpp/g-m/opengl/article.php/c5581/Function-graphics-in-3D.htm
template <typename T>

[Code]....

Boundary violation occurs as soon as vv2d[1][0].x is encountered. I believe the problem is my inability to dynamically allocate the size of the (primary) typedef vector. However, eliminating the typedef for the following does not change the result. Further examination shows the vv2d[1][0] size and capacity to be 0.

Code:
vector<vector<CPoint2D<double>>> vv2d;
vv2d.resize(3);
vv2d[0].resize(3);

C :: Segmentation Fault When Dynamically Allocating 2D Array

Apr 20, 2013

This is a homework assignment where I have to read a file into a dynamically allocated 2d array. The file format is
10
Jim 3.6
Jake 4.0
Will 3.0
Sara 3.4
Mike 2.5
Ellen 2.9
Melissa 3.9
Eric 3.8
John 3.5
Beth 3.9

where 10 is the number of students followed by the students and the gpa's. There is more to the program but I have not implemented it yet because I am getting a segmentation fault. The output I am getting when I print the array is
Jim 3.6
Jake 4.0
Will 3.0
Sara 3.4
Segmentation fault

I can see where the problem lies. If I raise value for row when I am allocating the rows of the array, all of the names print. I just do not see why I need to. From my understanding the row * sizeof(char*) should give me enough room for 10 entrie.

Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
void sort();
int main()

C :: Allocating And Freeing Memory For Array Of Structures

Jul 27, 2014

I have to allocate memory for an array of structures, and my structure looks as following:

Code:
typedef struct {
char *name;
Uint *start_pos;
Uint len;
}
example_struct;

And now I want to allocate memory, for a variable number (so an array) of example_struct, so I first do:
Code:

example struct *all_struct;
int total_num = 3;
//will be set somehow, but for the example I set it on 3 all_struct = malloc (sizeof(example_struct) * total_num);

And now, as far as I now, I will have to allocate for each field of the structure memory, in order to be able to use it later. But I have problem at this point, a problem of understanding:

- I just allocated memory for 3 structures, but don't I have to allocate then memory for each structure separately, or can I just now allocate the fields like this:

Code: all_struct[0].name = malloc.....

But if yes, why the hell this works...

C++ :: Integer Pointer - Get Address Without Allocating Memory

Jun 3, 2013

I have an integer pointer and i want its address without allocating memory,

main() {
int *a;
cout<<a;
}

This is giving 00000000 and its but obvious. Now if i use address of a (&a) along with *a,

main() {
int *a;
cout<<a;
cout<<&a;
}

'cout<<a' gives me a constant address but 'cout<<&a' gives me different address.

what is the reason behind & and why behaviour of 'cout<<a' changes when using with &.

C/C++ :: Dynamically Allocating Array Passed As Parameter

Apr 18, 2015

I'm trying to dynamically allocate a standard array at runtime in the function of a class where the array is "owned" by the calling class. The calling class knows nothing about the array before it makes the call to create the array other than the datatype of the array. But the full array of data needs to be returned.

It appears that the pointer being passed makes a copy of the pointer on the stack and then when the function returns it pops it off the stack and the array is a memory leak because the pointer is once again a nullptr as it was before being passed and the array has not been deallocated with delete yet (as it should not have been).

(Edit:Unexpected value of MyArray being a nullptr instead of pointing to an array after returning from line 09.)

class Class1 {
void FunctionA() {
Class2 OwnedClass;
int* MyArray = nullptr;
int SizeOfMyArray = 0;

C++ :: Dynamically Allocating Hash Table Using Data From File

Nov 5, 2013

I have an abstract based class and three derived classes. I also have a templated hash table class(using chaining as my collision resolution method, an array of stl lists), and a class to parse commands from a file, this also holds the instantiation of the hash table. My question is that since my command parsing class's constructor instantiates the hash table in the main driver(unable to modify) how can I make this dynamically allocated using data from the file?

template<class T>
class hashTable{
public:
hashTable(int size);
~hashTable();

C++ :: Allocating Array Of Pointers To Dynamically Allocated Array?

Jan 18, 2014

I'm trying extremely hard to understand pointers and I have the basic concept down.. I feel as though my knowledge of dynamically allocated pointers and pointers in general is not enough to understand the logic behind what I'm trying to do. The problem is that the donations array must be able to accept any number of donations. I've made it do just that, but there is also an array of pointers which must each point to the same element in the donations array. The program works if I assign int *arrPtr[100] for example, but it does not work if I try to dynamically allocate it to accept the same number of elements for donations entered by the user. Here it's the snippet

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
//Function Prototypes

C :: How To Input With Space

Sep 20, 2014

how to input with space what i mean is like this, for example:

Product Code: 0000001
Product Name: Mobile Phone

if the users input is like that in the (Product Name)it will skip the next input that is the

Price: Quantity: 100
Manufacturer: Alcatel

something like that...

Heres the code

Code:

if(b<=10)
