C :: Dynamically Allocating Memory?

Sep 18, 2013

I have created a database for music cds:

Code:

#include<stdio.h>
#include<stdlib.h>
#define array
typedef struct cd_database

When I am using malloc instead of arrays the code is not working properly after exit. I have tried alot but can't came up with a way

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++ :: 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 :: 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/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 :: 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/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 :: 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++ :: 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++ :: Dynamically Allocate Memory To Struct

Sep 24, 2014

I CANT use std::string, classes, constructors for this project. I am required to use this archaic method of c-style strings with dynamic memory allocation occurring outside the struct.. i know its not the best way to go about this, but there's nothing i can go. I have a struct:

struct card {
char *suit;
char *rank;
int cvalue;
}

I've created a pointer of size 52 for my deck

card *deckPtr = new card[52];
card *deckHome = &deckPtr[0];

I then try to use

for(int i=0;i<52;i++) {
(*deckPtr).suit = new char[8];
(*deckPtr).rank = new char[7];
deckPtr++
}
deckPtr=deckHome;

I am essentially trying to fill in these arrays from a card file, but I cannot make it past running the program, i get sa seg fault which I dont understand why.

I dynamically allocate memory in my card read in function..

void cardInit(card *deckPtr) {
card *deckHome = &deckPointer[0];
ifstream fin;
char *finName = new char[13];
cin >> *finName
fin.open(finName)

[Code] ....

Its a pretty simple program..and my dynamic memory works for the file name, but I cant figure out why it doesnt work for structs?

C :: Unable To Save A Column Element Into Dynamically Memory Allocated Array

Mar 3, 2014

I am trying to store each value of a column from a text file into an dynamically allocated array, which needs to be globally declared for further usage in the program.The input textfile contains the following:

34932 13854 13854 2012-01-07
172098 49418 53269 2012-01-07

I have written the following code:

Code:

#include<stdio.h>
#include<stdlib.h>
#include<string.h>
int main()
}

[code]....

The commented printf line gives the entire values of the column, which proves that the file is correctly being read.But on compiling this program I get both compiler warnings and finally segmentation fault.

C :: Free Memory From A Dynamically Allocated Array Of Pointers To Linked Lists

Feb 26, 2013

Having some frustrating issues trying to free memory from a dynamically allocated array of pointers to linked lists. I think the problem is in how I initialize the pointers to NULL. Is there a more elegant way to have the program recognize that the list is empty so it knows to create a head node for the linked list in the function 'add_end_stub_to_array'?

I ran the code through Valgrind and it says that memory is definitely lost from this array.

This is the structure definition.

Code: struct stub_edge {
int loc_id;
int anim_type;
int mkt;
struct stub_edge *next_node;
};

Here is the code snippet from main allocating and deallocating memory to the array.

Code:

struct stub_edge **stub_list = (struct stub_edge **)malloc( sizeof(struct stub_edge *) * 12);
for (i = 0; i < 12; i++)
{
stub_list[i] = (struct stub_edge *)malloc(sizeof(struct stub_edge));
stub_list[i] = NULL;
}
stub_list = add_end_stub_to_array(end_stubs, stub_list);
destroy_end_stub_array(stub_list);

Here the function for adding nodes to the lists by reading through a dynamically allocated 2D array. (The end_stubs array is ordered by month and each linked list represents events occuring within the month).

Code:

struct stub_edge **add_end_stub_to_array(int **end_stubs, struct stub_edge **list)
{
long int i = 0;
int mon = 0;
struct stub_edge *current_node1;
struct stub_edge *new_node1;
int break1 = 0;
while(i < num_edges && break1 == 0 && mon < 12)

[Code]...

Here is the function for freeing memory from the list.

Code:

void destroy_end_stub_array(struct stub_edge **list)
{
if(list != NULL)
{
int mon = 0;
struct stub_edge *current_node1;
struct stub_edge *new_node1;
for(mon = 0; mon < 12; mon++)

[Code]...

C++ :: Declare Not Allocating Storage?

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

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 Expanding Array

May 28, 2013

Consider the following:

Code:
int *p;
p = new int[5];
for(int i=0;i<5;i++)
*(p+i)=i;

Now suppose we want to add a 6th element (without using vector)

One way is to copy it across to a larger array:

Code:
int *p;
p = new int[5];
for(int i=0;i<5;i++)
*(p+i)=i;

// realloc
int* temp = new int[6];
std::copy(p, p + 5, temp);
delete [] p;
p = temp;

This looks like a very expensive operation and im looking for other ways.

Three questions regarding the above: Not using vector, is this the best way to do this?What about using realloc? How would I use realloc in this situation?Any other ways apart from realloc or vector?

C++ :: Dynamically Realloc 2D Array

I would like to realloc a 2D array. I have a counter, itime, it increases each step. Each step, I would like to reallocate my array, keeping the old values, and add new values to the array. When itime=1, I use only malloc, because it is allocated for the first time. When itime increases (e.q. itime=2), realloc comes into process. In the realloc process the GUI crashes.

int itime;
char ** solpointer;
itime = 1;
do {
if( itime == 1 ) {
solpointer = (char**)malloc(sizeof(char*) * itime);
solpointer[itime-1] = (char*)malloc(sizeof(char) * 32);
