C :: How To Access Nested Structure Using Pointer

Jan 22, 2015

I need to know how to access the nested structure using pointer, i mean i know how to do that when i have simple structure, for example:

Code:
struct person{
char fname[16], lname[16];
int age;
}

for this example i can use

Code: (*pointer).age
or
Code: pointer->age

But if i have structure like this:

Code:
struct date{
int day, month, year;
}
struct person{
char fname[16], lname[16];
struct date birthDate;
}

Then how can i access the birthDate using pointer?

C++ :: Vector In Nested Structure

Nov 26, 2013

I have a nested record structure in C++ that contains a FileHeader record, a RecordHeader record and a DataRecord record. The last item is an array of unknown size (at compile time). I have to open a file and read the array size and then create the array.

I have worked on this for some time and can't figure out how to make it work. I know the sample data I am using has 85 records. I insert 85 into the array size and it works fine. But how do I create a dynamic array or define a vector within a nested structure?

1. What is the best (easiest) method to accomplish this (array or vector)?
2. How would it be implemented/how do you add data to it?

PreviousLogRecord.FaultRecord.push_back(field1); // does not work
PreviousLogRecord.FaultRecord[recordNumber].field1 = somedata; // works with 85 in array size.
struct LogFileHeaderRecordType {
QString field1;
int field2;

C++ :: Access Other Members Within Same Nested Class?

Jul 12, 2013

It's hard to give a precise title but here is the question in detail: I have a class, something like this:

Code:
class classA{
public:
void fnA();
...
};

and another class that contains objects of classA:

Code:
class classB{
public:
classA A1;
classA A2;
classA A3;
vector<classA*> vA;
...
};
classB B1;

Now is it possible to access B1.vA from B1.A1.fnA() through some kind of pointer chain like this->parent->vA ? If so

C++ :: Nested Class Vector Index Access?

Mar 22, 2014

Is it possible to pass the vector index '4' to the Height() function without passing it as a parameter of the function.

Basically, I'm trying to eliminate using 4 twice... what I'd LIKE the statement below to look like is this:

gx.Cell[4].Height();

The only way I can figure out how to get it to work is like this...

class grid{
public:
class CELL{
public:
int Height(int index); //returns the height of this cell

C++ :: How To Use Structure Pointer Through A Structure Public Member Definition

Why doesn't this compile?

struct hi(){
void other();

void hi::other(){
std::cout << "Hi!" << std::endl;

[Code] ....

Makes no sense the structure is written before the structure member function is called so why is there compile errors ??...

C :: Access Element Of Array Through A Pointer To A Pointer

Dec 25, 2013

i have been fiddling with pointers but I don't understand how the proper syntax is written when I want to acces an element of an array through a pointer to a pointer...The code is all mostly just random bs for learning purposes. I marked the problem "// THIS LINE"

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdarg.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#define MAX_DATA 100
int find_average(char *iden, ...) {

C++ :: Composition And Member Access Inside Composed Structure

Jan 18, 2013

I have a question regarding composition and accessing members "deep" inside the composed structure. For example;

class A {
private:
int m_myInt;
public:
int myInt() const {return this->m_myInt;};
void myInt(int newInt) {this->m_myInt = newInt;};

[Code] ....

Now, from somwhere I have access to an object of type B where I want to update the A::m_myInt. How would you do this without "breaking" the whole purpose of private/public members?

B myB;
myB.m_a.myInt(3); // Not allowed, and not desireable

I thought about implementing access through functons kind of like;

A & B::a() {return this->m_a;};
myB.a().myInt(3);

but I'm worried that this exposes my B::m_a-object too much. This would allow

myB.a() = A();
, right?

The following is a more desireable way of acces, but doesn't work for updating;

A const & B::a() {return this->m_a;};
myB.a().myInt(3); //Disallowed? myInt(int) is non-const.

What about this? Is this a good way of doing it?

class A {
private:
int m_myInt;
public:
int myInt() const {return this->m_myInt;};

[Code] ....

I guess it works? It would lead to a lot of data shuffling in case of larger sub-components.I would really like to do the following without exposing my components so much:

B myB;
myB.a().myInt(3);

Can it be done?

C++ :: Why Can Initialize Array Nested In Structure Like Array

Feb 7, 2015

Example :
Code:
struct x {
int v[4];
};
const x test = { 0, 1, 2, 3 };

Why can I do this? How does the compiler know to write to this in the proper way? I get that v would be contiguous. Does that have something to do with it?

C :: Calling Function Via Function Pointer Inside Structure Pointer

Mar 14, 2013

I'm trying to call a function via a function pointer, and this function pointer is inside a structure. The structure is being referenced via a structure pointer.

Code:

position = hash->(*funcHash)(idNmbr);

The function will return an int, which is what position is a type of. When I compile this code,

I get the error: error: expected identifier before ( token.

Is my syntax wrong? I'm not sure what would be throwing this error.

C++ :: Accessing Inside Structure Via Struct Pointer To Struct Pointer

Jun 5, 2012

"
#include <stdio.h>
struct datastructure {
char character;
};
void function(struct datastructure** ptr);

[Code] ....

These codes give these errors:

error: request for member 'character' in '* ptr', which is of non-class type 'datastructure*'
error: request for member 'character' in '* ptr', which is of non-class type 'datastructure*'

These errors are related to
"
*ptr->character='a';
printf("Ptr: %c",*ptr->character);
"

I want to access "character" data inside the structure "trial" by a pointer to pointer "ptr" inside function "function",but I couldn't find a way to do this.

C/C++ :: Pointer To A Nameless Structure

Sep 16, 2014

const free_throws & clone(free_throws & ft) {
free_throws * pt;
*pt = ft; // Copy info
return *pt; // return reference to copy
}

This is a code snippet extracted from C++ Primer Plus book. However, it is really confusing. I don't really understand the free_throws * pt;

as far as I know, a pointer has to point to a memory address, and it is best to initialize it when it is declared. However, according to the code snippet above, the pt isn't initialized to any address. Isn't it dangerous when we declare a pointer without initializing it before we use it?

I thought it is supposed to be like this

free_throw * pt = new three_throw;
// or
free_throw * pt = & ft;

BTW, free_throw is a structure.

C :: Passing Structure Pointer To A Function

Aug 24, 2014

I am trying to wright a program that takes student grade data from a command line file, calculates a final grade, and copies the final grades to an output file. So far I have two functions, one that creates a student structure by allocating memory for it and returning its address, and one that should take that address and fill it with data from a line from the input file. My ultimate goal is to use a linked list to connect all the structs, but for now I just want to get the functions working. When I run what I have so far, I get an error C2440 (using visual 2010) that says "cannot convert from 'cStudent *', to 'cStudent', and points to the line where I call my fill function. How should structure pointers be passed?

Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
struct student // Declaring student structure globally.

[Code] .....

Also, here is a sample of what a line from the input file would look like:
Bill Gates, 60, 54, 38, 62, 65, 60, 50

C++ :: How To Access Base Method Via Derived Pointer

Oct 1, 2013

I would like to access (use) a (virtual) method declared in a base class via a pointer to an object belonging to a derived class, which overrides the base method. Is it possible? Up to now I have not been successful. I am including a program with a more detailed description.

// declare a base class T0 with virtual function P, and a derived
// class T1 which overrides P; declare two ptrs, to T0 and T1,
// and generate corresponding objects; calling P via the two
// ptrs gives expected result; however I would like to take
// ptr to T1 object & execute the base function (declared
// in T0); is it possible? I tried all possible casts but nothing
// works; no matter how I cast the pt1 ptr, I always end up executing
// the overriding function (declared in T1)
// actual output (debian 7, gcc 4.7.2-5):

C/C++ :: Access Violation Adding A Pointer To List?

Feb 17, 2014

This code works:

//void Fighter::LoadAnimation(...){
std::list<SCML_SFML::Entity*> entities;
for(std::map<int, SCML::Data::Entity*>::iterator e = data.entities.begin(); e != data.entities.end(); e++) {
SCML_SFML::Entity* entity = new SCML_SFML::Entity(&data, e->first);
entity->setFileSystem(&fs);
entity->setScreen(&window);
entities.push_back(entity);//problem line
}
}

But if i change entities to a member variable, std::list<SCML_SFML::Entity*> Fighter::m_entities, it does not. Instead i get a write access violation when i try to push_back(entity). i need it to be a member variable because i need to use it in other member functions.

C++ :: Pass Pointer To Member Function (polymorphic Structure)?

Jan 3, 2015

I am trying to create a callback system for input events in my game engine.

Here is a cut down version of the EventManager.h file

#include "Controls.h"
#include "Object.h"
enum MouseEventType{PRESSED, POINTER_AT_POSITION, PRESSED_AT_POSITION };

[Code].....

This works if the function pointer being passed to the event manager is not a member function.

I have two other classes Scene and Object that could potentially use this EventManager to create callback events. Scene and Object are both pure virtual objects. How can I pass a pointer to a member function of the child classes of both Scene and Object? I am fine with just having two separate watchEvent functions for Scene and Object but how do I pass the type of the Object or the type of the Scene? The child classes are unknown as they are being created by someone using this game engine.

For example, if I want to make a player object it would be something like

class PlayerObject : public Object{...};

Now that PlayerObject type has to find its way to PlayerObject::functionToCall(). I think I need templates to do this but, since I never used them before

This is how I intend to use this

class OtherScene : public Scene{
void p_pressed(void){
//pause
}

[Code].....

C++ :: Place Nested Loop Where Nested Not Necessary?

Apr 3, 2014

I wrote this code, and everything was working well, but part of the assignment is that it must include nested loops. Once I added the nested while loop, which is basically an if statement, my life was ruined. I am trying to nest a loop in the code that will basically tell the compiler that if the value "loopVol" were to exceed the value of "final" after adding an increment, to run the program for the "final". How can I do that?

Example:

initial = 10
final = 123
increment = 10

as of now, the program would stop at 120, but I want to nest a loop that will tell the compiler to calculate at the final if this happens.

#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>
#include <stdio.h>
