I am having following pointer variable declaration
Code: Static double (*funcs[]) (double) = { sin,cos,tan,asin,acos};
Here funcs is an array of pointers to functions which take double as input and gives double as output with static as storage type am I right.
I am new to C. I've been trying to use C to code some statistical functions originally coded in R. I've encountered an interesting phenomenon. In the function foo1, I declared the array v1v2b using an actual value 1999000. The function runs fine when I call it in R.
Code:
void foo1(double *x, double *y, int *nsamp){
int i, j, k, oper=2, l;
double* v1v2=malloc(sizeof(double)*((*nsamp)*(*nsamp-1)/2 + 1));
outer_pos(x, y, nsamp, &v1v2[0]);
double v1v2b[1999000]; //<-------HERE
for(i=1; i<= 1999000]; i++){
v1v2b[i-1]=1;
} }
However, in foo2, I first create an integer variable called index, and store the value 1999000 in it. I then use it to initialize the same array. When I tried calling this function in R, it either led to a stack overflow error, or completely crashed R.
Code:
void foo2(double *x, double *y, int *nsamp){
int i, j, k, oper=2, l;
double* v1v2=malloc(sizeof(double)*((*nsamp)*(*nsamp-1)/2 + 1));

This problem is best explained by looking at its output below. I stored 15 different values but when retrieved some are wrong.
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
class A {
public:
int ** pointer;
[Code] ....
I need to store and retrieve the 15 different values correctly. How to solve this? The main thing is, I need to store the pointer in class A objects.
I have a function
Code:
int exec_program(char * arguments[])
{
...
}
I can call it like this without a problem:
Code: char * uselessvariable[] = {"/bin/echo", "Testing", NULL};exec_program(uselessvariable);
However I get an error if I try to compile it like this:
Code: exec_program({"/bin/echo", "Testing", NULL});
How, in c, I can put this array inside of the argument in one line without having to name a new variable name?
I'm just trying to get a handle on the uses of pointers here. Though clearly from my errors I'm missing a key concept. Here is my code: (You can assume that the array, "array_size" has values in it, I did this part in another function)
int main() {
bool **ptr_array;
int num;
int *array_size;
cin>>num;
[Code] ....
Once the program reaches the word[num] = false; some unhandled exceptions pop up.
I simplified my code a bit from my actual program and mixed up the loops, now the code should be in its correct form.
I really do not see the difference between these two declarations:
int myvariable;
int * mypointer;
It is said that when you define a pointer, instead of containing actual data, it contains a pointer to the memory location where information can be found.
But doesn't the other variable declaration do the same? It obviously doesn't have data either. And it must be stored in a memory location as well. So I do not see the difference.
Code:
#include <stdio.h>
int main(void){
int a=0;
for(;a<=10;)
int b;
return 0;
}
I have got a code like this. I don't expect to get an output but just assumed I would see the command screen until I terminated it. What I want to do is just declare a variable b in a endless loop. But what I got from the compiler is this error: error: expected expression before 'int'. I am using Code::Blocks and I think the compiler is GCC.
I don't understand how my code not run.
#include "stdafx.h"
#include<iostream>
using namespace std;
struct student{
char name[30];
char birthday[20];
char homeness[50];
float math;

I am making a function that will return a pointer to a long long variable. For example, I have the next variable prototype: Code: long long funcName(long long x, int s); I want to change the return value, and the first parameter to pointers to long long.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm fairly new to C++ and have begun working with pointers. I wish to create am array called sigmaf_point that reads data from a text file. I have managed to get that working, but when it comes to using this pointer I come across some problems. The array is created as such:
Code:
double sigma [5];
double *sigmaf_point = sigma;
void read(double *&sigmaf_point)
string s;
ifstream Dfile;
std::stringstream out;
[Code] .....
I then create a coordinate system inside the main file, as the program I am writing is about modelling the movement of atoms, which requires you to know the coordinates:
Code:
int main();
double **coords_fluid = new double*[5000];
for (int i = 0; i < n_atoms_methane; i++) {
coords_fluid[i] = new double[4];
}
Now, the problem arises when I want to calculate a new variable as so:
Code:
for (int i = 0; i <= n_atoms-1; i++) {
sf1=sigmaf_point(coords_fluid[i][3]);
}
I get the error C2064: term does not evaluate to a function taking 1 arguments, and a red line under sigmaf_point that says it must be pointer to function type. I am a bit confused about this.
I want to know
prog1.c
#include<stdio.c>
static int c=6;
int main() {
/*code*/
}
prog2.c
#include<stdio.h>
int main(){
static int c=10;
}
what would be the difference between these two program in the fuctioning of static keyword ?
Below is a working program. Please note that the vector <int*> pointer is declared as a public member of the class A.
The problem arises when I try to make it a private (instead of public). First, let's look at the File 1 below. It compiles and works fine.
File 1: main.cpp (working fine)
#include <vector>
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

I basically have some code that lets users register callbacks into a callback table at a specified index. There is one element in this table for each event that can trigger a callback. I basically do something like this:
In a header file
Code:
typedef struct _GMclient
{
GMcommunicator gcomm;
GMclient_callback callback_table[(int)MAX_CALLBACKS];
}GMclient;
typedef int (*GMclient_callback)(GMclient*, void*, void*);
Then I allow them to set the callback with a function that basically ends up doing this (in a .c file that includes the previous mentioned .h file):
Code:
void
GMclient_register_callback(GMclient *client,
GMclient_callback fxn,
int index)
[Code] ....
Then later when I need to invoke that callback, I pull it out of the table
Code: GMclient_callback *fxn = client->callback_table[CMD_INDEX];
However, I get compilation errors:
Code: src/gmanager_client.c:43:6:
error: a label can only be part of a statement and a declaration is not a statement...
How would I pass let say 2 array pointers to a function X , allocate memory for them in X , fill them with values and get them back in my main function without creating a structure.
example:
Code:
void X(int *a, int*b){
a= malloc ...
b = malloc ...
// fill a and b
return them back to the main function
}
void main(){

Ive recently got into function pointers, i find that they can be quite handy for making your program very 'dynamic'.
However, the syntax is very confusing for what i want to do
This is what i want to do
I want to hold function pointers inside an array, but this array is dynamically allocated ( malloc, realloc, etc )
This is the current syntax ive come up with, but i dont think it is correct
void ( **drawFunc ) ( void*, SDL_Surface* );
I'm trying to create an array of pointers to pointers which will point to array of pointers (to strings) I tried
Code:

"hello",
[code]...
the app keeps crashing , I don't know how to make the array-elements to point to another array-elements..
I would like to know if this code is correct.
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
int say_one(const std::string &s) {
std::clog << s << ": One!

I have a a group of text files that are used as input into a program. Another very similar program needs the same data in a different input format. I am writing a program that will read in each line of data and parse it. I have successfully written the program in main() such that it will read until the end of file. However, I am trying to re-write the program such that the algorithm is in an external function and will read one line at a time and then pass all of the character strings to the main program. The program will not compile and I am positive it has to do with an incorrect use of arrays in passing the variable "token". I am attaching a copy of the main program and the function.
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <cstring>
#include <stdio.h>
void Line_Parse(std::ifstream&,std::ostream&,const char* token);

I'm trying to create an array of function pointers and then assign compartilbe functions to them, so I can just call *pf[0](xxx);
The functions are all of the type
void func01(unsigned char*, int, int)
how would I create an array of function pointers and assign the address of the functions to them? So I could call them like
ptrToFunction[i](charBuffer, 10, 20);
I've read a bit on line and I thought I could do it but so far I've failed.
It seems trivial and I feel I'm close but close isn't good enough.
I'd like to assign the fuction addresses like this:
for (int i=0; i<10; i++)
if (i==1)
ptrToFunction[i]=func01;
if (i==2)
ptrToFunction[i]=func02;
etc.
The actual logic is somewhat different than this but this close.
The premise of this assignment is to create a menu driven, array of functions calculator. This is the code I have thus far (I haven't finished all of my comments yet, I've been to focused on clearing errors).
Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <math.h>
/*prototypes*/
void sum (int a, int b);
void dif (int a, int b);
void pro (int a, int b);
void quo (int a, int b);
void printMenu();
[Code] .....
I am using Visual Studio as a compiler, and I have the following errors:
error C2144: syntax error : 'int' should be preceded by ')'
error C2660: 'sum' : function does not take 0 arguments
error C2059: syntax error : ')'
error C2144: syntax error : 'int' should be preceded by ')'

I can only assume that I am making simple mistakes.
I'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);

I am suppose to find voltage by multiplying a resistance array and a current array by using a function and pointers. This is what I have so far:

I am a bit confused about how specific one must be with arguments when declaring a function. I'll show you two functions from the book I'm using to learn C to show you what I mean.
Example 1 (greatest common denominator function):
Code:
void gcd (int u, int v) {
int temp;
printf ( "
[Code] ....
So in that function, there are exactly two arguments, because that's how many arguments the algorithm to find the gcd takes. No problem there, makes sense to me. Then further in the chapter on functions I run into this,
Example 2 (square root function):
Code:
float absoluteValue (float x) {
if ( x < 0 )
x = -x;
return x;
[Code] ....
In this second example, we have a square root function that is preceded by an absolute value function. The absolute value function has the one argument, "float x", however when this function is called within the square root function, the arguments "guess * guess * -x" are passed to it. I'm confused how this absolute value function is working with all of that inside it, when it was originally declared with just "x." The only possibility I can think of is that this expression is treated as a single unit, but I'm not sure.
This is a c program that is failing to compile. The error occurs in the calcLabs() function. The error called out is (btw, I'm using VS 2010): Error4error C2143: syntax error : missing ';' before 'type'
I don't understand why the compiler is not letting me declare variables in the calcLabs() function!
Code:
#include<stdio.h>
#include<stdlib.h>
void calcPercent(double *);
double calcLabs();
double calcExams();
double calcFinal();
char calcLetter(float);

I'm just wondering, why you have to set the length of the inner arrays declaring a function. In which moment does the code needs to be sure about the length of the inner arrays accessing an cell?
I came up with this question realizing the elements of the outer array beeing pointers to the first value of each inner array. Therefore I can access e.g. the first first element of the second inner array like this:
**(arr + 1) ...regardless of the length of any array to my mind.
