C++ :: Hold Vector Of Pointers In Same Class As Instances Of Those Objects?
Feb 10, 2015
Using 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?

I have an abstract class named Terrain, and a class named RoadMap, which supposed to hold an N*N array of Terrains. But I'm not sure what type should the RoadMap class hold:
Code:
#ifndef TERRAIN_H
#define TERRAIN_H
class Terrain {
[Code] ....
I can't use an array of refernces here, so I tried this:
Code: Terrain** terrain; and then I thought this was the way to go:
Code: Terrain (*terrain)[]; But now I'm not sure.
The N*N matrix size supposed to be determined according to a given input... What type should I use there?

I am working with a new text adventure. The way i want to construct it is by having a class for all living things. in the class you have basic things as: health, gold, vector for inventory holding "struct item". etc...
There is also a class called world, wich navigates through the world.
World class contains of: player location, and a map containing info about the room etc...
Here comes the problem. I want there to be characters to be placed out in different maps, so basically i want the world class to hold objects from Character.
How to do it. In world class i made a map...
std::map<int,"content">
content is a struct i made above in world class:
struct content{
std::string name; // location name
std::string info; // info about location
std::vector<Character>characters;
std::vector<item>items;
};
To sum it up, i have a std::map<int,content>map the int stands for location id. Content holds more info about the room and what's in it
btw the classes are in different files and that means i have to include "Character.h" in the world file so i can set up the vector of characters.

Im 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?

I 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?

Please consider the following code :
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
class superclass;
class subclass1;
class subclass2;
[Code] ....
As you can see I want to create a dynamically allocated storage of references to a parent class each of which can then point to a child class, how ever I do not know how to extract the child class out again from that array so i may access its variable b.

This has been bothering me for a while now, and I finally put together an example:
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace::std;
[Code]....
In the code above, the two classes hold pointers to each other, and that's fine but it doesn't seem right since C++ prefers to pass by reference. Yes, it can still do that (see testbox and testball) but even that seems odd to me because still you need to use pointer notation for the enclosed object. Am I the only one who feels this way, and should I just get over it? Or am I missing something that would allow an object to hold a reference?

So I'm trying to store class objects in a vector:
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <sstream>
#include <string>
[Code]....
1. Am I storing it correctly?
2. How would I access the stored data, say, if I wanted to compare it to other stored data or COUT it?

For a beginners C++ lab, I have a base class Employee and two derived classes HourlyEmployee and SalaryEmployee. In main, I have a vector defined as vector <Employee *> VEmp; It's then passed to a function to get the input, which works fine. But what I'm struggling with is another function with the header "printList(const vector <Employee *> & Ve)". It's supposed to loop through the vector and call the appropriate printPay function, which is a seperate print function inside each derived class. How do I loop through the vector and print it out? I was trying to do a for loop and something like "Ve[i].printPay();", but that doesn't work. So how would I do it?
Here's some snippets of the relevant code.
class Employee {
....
virtual void printPay() = 0;
};
class HourlyEmployee : public Employee {
[Code] ....

I need to create a vector of pointers and hold the book objects in it. then i have a virtual function in my books which is a pure virtual in LibraryItems. When i try to add the books object in my code, i understand that since the scope runs out there is no object that is added. so when i run print it gives me an error.
#include<iostream>
#include "books.h"
#include "library.h"

I am struggling to understand what the correct way to initialize instances of a class for object orient programming is.
If I am not mistaken, there are 2 methods to initialize an instance "instance_name" of CLASS1 by calling the constructor:
(1) CLASS1 instance_name(argument);
(2) CLASS1 instance_name=CLASS1(argument);
As it turns out, I cannot use method (1) when I try to initialize a private instance inside another class. But I can use it in the main() code. I hope the code below will explain what I mean. Why only method (2) will work inside another class? Or is there another fundamental mistake I am making?
(BTW: I used CodeBlocks 13.12 with GNU GCC compiler for this example)
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
class CLASS1{

Code:
#include<iostream>
#include<conio.h>
#include<string.h>
#include<ostream>
#include<fstream>
#include<iomanip>
using namespace std;
class MathProblem {
[Code] ...
So my program is quite simple, have the user answer the answer to a question, and then compare with the correct answer. I needed to implement an inheritance of MathProblem in my second class aswell.
The program runs as I intend but I wish to have the data forwarded to a text file. After that I must read back to the command prompt the text file contents. It's fairly easy for simple statements but I don't understand how to forward all my data from my classes.

i have this rather large class, which (in a way) somehow resembles a custom dialog control). This control is supposed to display data, which it does just fine. To do so, it maintains a
byte settings[10];
array, which holds information on how to display the data.
There are multiple ways to represent this custom set of data.In order to remain flexible in representing it, i thought of implementing some sort of DisplayProvider, which can be registered to the base class and provides that settings byte array.
Preferably, i would now have a set of static const instances of this provider.Using a struct would work nicely here:
PHP Code:
struct DisplayProvider
{
int settings[10];
}
static const DisplayProvider prov1 = {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0};
The problem: The DisplayProvider would have to do some pre-processing, before handing over control to the base class, which then does the main work.I would end up with something like this:
PHP Code:
class DispalyProvider
{
baseclass* owner;
int settings[10];
void PreProcessing(...);//ends up calling the owner.Processing(...) function
};
The main thing here is, that i dont really see a way to create a stock of default "static const DisplayProvder = {...}"s, as i could when using a struct.

How would I use the list container to hold a class?
class A {
private : int x;
public : void setX(int val) { x = val; }
};
class B {
private : std::list<A> pdata;
public : void addToList();
};
For adding, I thought of trying something like
void B::addToList() {
A *tmp = new A;
if(A != 0) {
tmp->setX(5);
pdata.insert(tmp);
delete tmp;
}
}
How would I do what I'm trying to do? Or is this the wrong way to go about it? For the actual program, "B" would contain several lists of various classes.

I am trying to do some exercises but am struggling at the moment. The first task was to create a class (Planet), then allow the user to edit their entry or view it.
The second one is to create class instances from a text file. The file contains a new planet on each line in the form: 'id x y z' where x/y/z are its coordinates. As the file can have more then one lines, it has to dynamically create an undefined amount of class instances.
To do this I used 'new' and it works ok - it prints each one out to the screen as you go so you can see it working. However... I'm trying to get into good habits here and am encapsulating the class which is where I am getting stuck. I can read from the class but cannot put the values from the file into the class.. ..using the member functions I have created anyway.
My code so far is:
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
class Planet {
private:
int id=0;
float x_coord=0.0, y_coord=0.0, z_coord=0.0;
public:
int GetID(){return id;}
[code]....
If I change the SetID etc to just p->id, p->x_coord etc it works fine. But I'd rather find a way to do it that keeps the encapsulation. Using p->z_coord etc requires that you change the class variables from private to public.
The question I have been given is this:
Define and implement a function, generate planet, that takes a stream argument that has already been connected to a file (i.e. the argument is istream& fin). The function must create a new instance of planet using new and read its details from the next line in the file.Each line of the file is in the format id x y z.The function must return the newly created planet.
Also, how would you go about 'viewing' one specific class instance once they've been created? So say the file had 5 lines, line three was '4 6 2 6'. How would I go about viewing that planet afterwards? I don't think thats required but... I'm just wondering Although I'm also wondering, are we actually creating a new class instance for each line here? Or just destroying the previous one?

I can't get my code to compile, i need to read in lines from a file and store them in variables. Then i have to construct instances of my class for how many lines there are in the file and take those variables into them.
I'm getting this error :

I am using OpenCV to read and manipulate a set of images, which I need to store in an array to work with them. Here is a snippet of the code:
#define MAX_IMAGES 8
typedef Mat* MatPtr;
int main(int argc, char** argv) {
char imageName[] = "./res/imageX.tiff";
MatPtr datacube[MAX_IMAGES];
[code].....
I have an array of pointers to Mat objects (an OpenCV class used to hold info and data about an image), which I will use to store the images. The function imread reads an image and returns a Mat object loaded with the relevant data about the image.However, this gives me a nice segfault when the assignment takes place. Of course, I can swap it with the following code, but since I'm working with big images (2048x2048 and upwards), it's really inefficient:
for(unsigned int i = 0; i < MAX_IMAGES; i++) {
imageName[11] = 49 + i;
datacube[i] = new Mat(imread(imageName, -1));
}
Is there any way to do this elegantly and without much hassle?Again, excuse my rustiness and anything completely stupid I might have said. It's been a long time since I worked with C++. Managed to circumvent the problem by using a STD vector instead of an array. I'd still like to know the answer to this riddle...

I've created an Array of pointers to objects using:
Person ** A = new person * [arraysize];
When I intend to access a specific person do I have to do this? :
something = A->[i];
and when I want a specific object within my struct do I have to do this? :
something_else = A->[i]->random_int;

reservations is a data member in the class flight as:

I have a data structure defined up here called this:
typedef list <classSpec*> ClassSpecList;
I'm trying to add stuff into the list here based on functions that return certain values of that match the same data type. In one function, I have a list pointer object defined here and I have another statement that calls a function.
ClassSpecList *answer = 0;
classSpec *thisanswer = parseClass(br);
Basically I'm trying to add the results of what thisanswer returns into my main ClassSpecList. Problem is, when I try
answer->push_back(new classSpec (*thisanswer));
It compiles but I get a seg fault
When I try somethign else like:
answer->insert(ClassSpecList.begin(), *thisanswer);
I keep getting primary expression errors and I do not know why. I even tried it with other list made without typedef and I still get those.

So I'm trying to fill a vector with pointers to account objects.
std::vector<account*> fill_vector() {
std::vector<account*> temp;
std::ifstream s;
std::string str;
s.open("H://account2.dat");
[Code] ....
The accounts have four different types and I am supposed to skip over ones that have an invalid account type and throw an exception:
account* factory(std::string account_code, std::string first_name,
std::string last_name, char type, double balance) {
try {
if(type == 'A') {
simple_account *a = new simple_account(account_code, first_name, last_name, balance);
[Code] .....
My problem is they program will not skip over my rejected accounts.. still adds them to the vector but I cant figure out why!

In this book, item 3 is about never treat arrays polymorphically. In the latter part of this item, the author talks about the result of deleting an array of derived class objects through a base class pointer is undefined. What does it mean? I have an example here,
Code:
class B
{
public:
B():_y(1){}
virtual ~B() {
cout<<"~B()"<<endl;
[Code] ....
This sample code does exactly what I want. So does the author mean the way I did is undefined?

I've been really busy but managed to get in enough down time to learn somewhat decent info about vectors. Anyways originally my program created a dynamic array of pointers to class objects and I came across a few problems because of this. Apparently an array of pointers is now outta of the question and I will now be switching to a vector of objects instead.
Why I want a list of objects instead of pointers this little comment should clear things up.
tiles[i]->show() dereferences tiles[i] (i.e. accesses whatever it points at) before calling the show() method.
That is undefined behaviour. Once undefined behaviour occurs, there is no recovery, and there is nothing the show() method (or any subsequently called function for that matter) can do to recover (short of invoking their own forms of undefined behaviour - compiler specific hacks, etc).
Even if the show() method initialises the object correctly, it cannot change the pointer tiles[i] which is in a different scope (within main()).
What I'm trying to do is create a vector of already intialized objects so that I can use a conditional statement of every single element to properly layer my games art resources. This should also automatically fix a mild unrelated collision dectection problem too but first thing first layering.
