C :: Initialization Of Function Pointer
Apr 28, 2013
I would like to initialize an arry containing function pointers with adresses of functions that have a variable number of arguments.
Below the code that works in principle. I would however get rid of the warning message during compilation pointing to the initialzation of the funtion pointers in the array. How do I need to cast the pointers to the functions ?
Code:
gcc func_ptr_init.c
func_ptr_init.c:28: warning: initialization from incompatible pointer type
func_ptr_init.c:32: warning: initialization from incompatible pointer type
Code:
#include<stdio.h>
unsigned char func1_ptr(unsigned int* if_desc, int* result_code) {
*if_desc = 1;
*result_code = 1;
return(0);
[Code] ....

Here is a function,which deletes the spaces of a string...
char *removespaces(char *s1) {
Code: char *s2=s1;
int i,j=0;
for (i = 0; i<strlen(s1); i++){
if (s1[i]!=' ') {
s2[j]=s1[i];
[Code] .....
why I have to initialize the pointer *s2 with the first element of the array s1...???If I don't initialize the pointer,or initialize it with something else,I get a segmentation fault...

The below example is an initialization of a pointer array:
char *month_name(int n) {
static char *name[] = {
"Illegal month",
"January", "February", "March",
"April", "May", "June",
"July", "August", "September",
"October", "November", "December"
};
return (n < 1 || n > 12) ? name[0] : name[n];
}
Here we have an array of character pointers. The pointers are stored in name[i]. And they point to the characters of the i-th string, which are stored somewhere else in memory. But Is the character pointer pointing to the first character in the character string that is stored somewhere else in memory? I assume so because a string itself is an array of characters. And if that is the case, how does the pointer know what the last character should be? Does it just search for the null terminator?

Below is my code snippet.I'm getting "Error:initialization from incompatible pointer type" error on line 'int *q = status;'.
Obviously, I'm missing something but has no clue...:(
void findwalls(int *p,int y,int x){
int status[y_count][x_count][4];
int *q = status;
for(int i = 0;i < (y_count * x_count * 4);i++)
*(q + i) = *(p + i);

Why will i use explicit instantiation of a template, for a type? If I do not use explicit instantiation, the template is used to create the necessary function then what is the use of explicit instantiation?
template <class Any>
void Swap (Any &, Any &);
// template prototype
template <> void Swap<job>(job &, job &);
// explicit specialization for job
[Code] ....
In the above eg. explicit instantiation is done for char type. What is the use of this?? If the compiler can make use of the template to make a fn for char type.
<eg. taken from C++ Primer>

I initialized a nested vector with the following code as:
Code:
vector<vector<Point> > vectorB(4, vector<Point> (int(vectorA.size()), 0));
And came across the following error during link stage:
"/usr/include/c++/4.6/bits/stl_vector.h:1080:4: error: no matching function for call to ‘std::vector<cv::Point_<int> >::_M_fill_initialize(std::vector<cv::Point_<int> >::size_type, int&)’ "

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.

I am attempting to implement function pointers and I am having a bit of a problem.
See the code example below; what I want to be able to do is call a function pointer from another pointer.
I'll admit that I may not be explaining this 100% correct but I am trying to implement the code inside the main function below.
class MainObject;
class SecondaryObject;
class SecondaryObject {
public:

I tried to use pointer with a function but I guess I am missing out on something
Code:
#include<stdio.h>
int add(int *a,int *b){
int *c,*d;
*c = *c+1;
*d = *d-1;
[Code] ....
And this one too
Code:
#include<stdio.h>
void add(int *a){
int *c;
c = c+1;

I was wondering what magic does a * pointer before function actually do? Today our programming teacher asked us to look into it and explain it in the next class!
#include<iostream>
using namespace std;
int *binary(int []);

Code:
void dereference(int* a, int* b)

Why isn't f and d the same after calling "dereference(f,d);"

As the title says, i'm using a function which returns a pointer to a struct:
the struct is the following:
Code:
typedef struct POINT
{
uint16_t x;
uint16_t y;
}
Coordinate; the function i'm using:
Code:
Coordinate * Read_XTP2046(void)
{static Coordinate screen;
//calculations to determine the coordinates
screen.x=(temp[1]+temp[2])/2;
screen.y=(temp[0]+temp[2])/2;
// and so on...
return &screen;}
The question is: how do i catch this pointer and make it into a Coordinate struct in which i can read the x and y.
In my main program i would do the following:
Code:
Coordinate cor;
cor = Read_XTP2046();
This does not work, as the function returns a pointer, but how to transform this pointer into a Coordinate struct.

I am trying to return a pointer from a method. Below is a sample of my code.
CSubnode * CTest::GetSubNode() {
return m_psubnode;//this is declared in CTest as CSunbnode * m_psubnode
}
//in another class
m_subnode = m_ptest->GetSubNode(); //m_subnode is declared as a pointer
Is this the correct why to return a pointer?

I declared a pointer in main with value 0, so I want to change its value so that it points to other variable from a function, I guess the function creates a copy of my pointer that's why whatever I do within function doesn't change the real direction of the pointer in main. I've been trying something like this:
#include <stdio.h>
void redirectionate(char *str, char *ptrCopy);
int main()
{

How this code work bcoz when pointer variable assigned in called function and how different values get as resultant output, ans 2 97 for below code. How the code wil execute so that i can validate ans
#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
int i = 97, *p = &i;
foo(&i);
printf("%d ", *p);

I am trying to use "remove_if" with a predicate function inside a class. The code intends to remove the grid cells which an agent cannot move into (from among all possible cells).
Code:
void classname::function1()
{
vector<MoorePoint> neighbors;
....
[Code]....
That code would work if it was not in a class and the predicate was not a member function. However, now I receive long error messages which I guess refer to incompatibility of remove_if template with the predicate parameter (one error includes : error C2064: term does not evaluate to a function taking 1 arguments).

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

I'm having a problem understanding something with pointers. I was trying to pass a pointer into a function in MSVC-2013, like
char* charptr;
and then calling
myfunct(charptr);
and then inside the function i would set charptr equal to another char ptr, simply like
charptr = anothercharptr;
But this actually caused a compile failure in MSVC, saying charptr is being used without being initialized. in Code::Blocks it just gives buggy output.
I solved this issue by calling the function like
myfunct(&charptr);
and declaring the function like
myfunct(char**);
and then I had to dereference the charptr in the function when assigning it to another ptr, so
*charptr = anothercharptr;
It seems like you should be able to just pass a ptr into a function and change its address to that of another pointer? My main question is really, what is the value of a pointer? I thought the value of a pointer was just the memory address it contains. But then I had to reference it to pass it into the function.
What is the difference between the value of the char* charptr written as either charptr and &charptr?
