C++ :: Initializing Object Through Constructor

Oct 15, 2013

sth is in my mind.

fast way of initializing an object through constructor is

Fred::Fred() : x_(whatever) { }

slow way
Fred::Fred() { x_ = whatever; }

ok. i accept it is faster but why?? what is the difference compiler does.

C++ :: Initializing Base Class Part From Derived Object Using Copy Constructor

Feb 20, 2012

class Base
{
char * ptr;
public:
Base(){}
Base(char * str)

[code].....

Obj1 is a derived class object where base class char pointer is initialized with "singh" and derived class char pointer is initilized with "sunil". I want to create Obj2 out of Obj1. Separate memory should be created for Obj2 char pointer (base part and derived part as well) and that should be initialized with the strings contained in Obj1.

Here the problem is: Derived class part can be initialized with copy constructor. How to initialize the base class char poniter of Obj2 with the base class part of Obj1. char pointers in
both the classes are private.

I tried using initializer list but could not succeed.

Is there some proper way to do this?

C++ :: Constructor Not Initializing Array?

Mar 6, 2015

I am making a tictactoe program that requires me to have a 3 by 3 two dimensional array of integers, in which the constructor should initialize the empty board to all zeroes. The program complies, but it keeps outputting garbage values and i'm not entirely sure why, My print function isn't complete yet, since I want to print out the array in a tic tac toe format, but i'm more concerned with why it's printing garbage values, here is my code:

Code:

// header file
#include <iostream>
#include <array>

C/C++ :: Initializing Constructor In CPropertyPage?

Aug 21, 2013

Here is a declaration of property class
class CMyPropertyPage11 : public CPropertyPage

Here is the definition
CMyPropertyPage11::CMyPropertyPage11() : CPropertyPage(CMyPropertyPage11::IDD)

I really do not understand the role of the
CPropertyPage(CMyPropertyPage11::IDD)

But I need to derive CMyPropertyPage11 from another CPropertyPage, say CBasePropertyPage adn really need to know how to implement the CPropertyPage(CMyPropertyPage11::IDD) initialization again.

C++ :: Initializing Map - No Matching Constructor For Initialization

Visual C++ :: Initializing Array In Constructor?

Mar 8, 2015

I am making a tic tac toe program in which they are asking me to have a 3x3 2 dimensional array of integers and have the constructor initialize the empty board to all zeros. They also want me to place a 1 or 2 in each empty board space denoting the place where player 1 or player 2 would move The problem I'm having is, my code initializes the board to all zeros for each element of the array, and prints it out just fine, but I can't figure out how to re-initialize the values in the array to show where each player moves on the board... I was thinking about having a default constructor that has each value set to zero, and then use a setGame function that can change the values on the board to one or two depending on where the player moves....but I don't know if that's possible.....

here is my code

Code:

// header file
#include <iostream>
#include <array>
class tictac {
public:
tictac(int);

C++ ::  Initializing Const Char Member Variable In Constructor?

Jan 23, 2015

I have a class that defines a window (a popup dialog of sorts), and I want the name of that window to be constant. The only problem is that the name of the popup needs to match the title of the parent window, and I get the name of the parent in the constructor. So how do I go about defining this member variable to be constant and initializing it with a value in the constructor?

I want to do something like this, but I know this isn't allowed:

/* class.h */
class foo {
public:
foo(*parentWindowPtr);

[Code] .....

I should mention that yes the name of the parent window is const char *, and I would like to keep it this way.

C++ :: Initializing Static Field As A Template Object

Aug 26, 2014

I need a static hash table to keep track of all objects of a particular type that are instantiated in a Qt application but I have never used a template class as a static member object before and I can't seem to figure out how to initialize it. QHash is the hash table class that follows the template convetion:

template<class key, class data>

QString is probably self explanatory.

Example Header:

class MyClass {
...
private:
static QHash<QString, MyClass*> instanceTable;
}

Here is my source that doesn't compile.

Example Source

#include header.h
// using default constructor for table...
QHash<QString key, MyClass* instance> MyClass::instanceTable(); // gives Error below.
// Error in above line is "Declaration is incompatible with QHash<QString, Myclass*>"

I have tried doing it a number of different ways and none of them work. How do you initialize a static template object?

C++ :: Initializing Generic Type That Can Be Both Primitive And Object?

Apr 1, 2013

I have defined my own class, Queue, which inherits from my own class, LinkedList. I have been using templates to allow Queues to be of int, string, etc types.

But now I want to be able to store objects in my Queue type. And so the problem I have is that in my LinkedList class, I have two instances where I initialize an instance of my generic type T to 0.

For instance, the removeFirst() method starts like this:

template <typename T>
T LinkedList<T>::removeFirst() {
T a = 0;

And so the compiler complains that it can't convert from int to [in this case] Command&.

What to do?

C++ :: Initializing Inner-objects Of Base Class From Driven-class Constructor

Jan 6, 2015

Let's say I have a Car object , and it contains inner Engine object.

Code:
struct Car{
Engine mEngine;
};

In order to initialize the engine object NOT by the default constructor (if it has any) , we use initialization semantics:

Code:
Car::Car:
mEngin(arg1,arg2,...)
{
other stuff here
}

Now it gets tricky: Let's say a Car objects has 10 inner objects, each object has about 5 variables in it . Car is a base class for , e.g. , Toyota class. you don't want the Car class to have a constructor with 50 arguments. Can the inner objects of Car be initialized from the base class , e.g. Toyota?

Code:
class Toyota:
Car(...),
mEngine(...),
mGear(..)
{
...
};

The other options are:
1) like said , create a Car constructor which gets 50 arguments, then initialize Car as whole from Toyota - the code becomes less readable and less intuitive
2) Car constructor which get built-objects as arguments and initialize the inner objects with copy constructor . the code gets more readable but then you create many excess objects .

C++ :: Creating Object Without Default Constructor

Jun 24, 2013

I have a question about the default constructor.

To my best understanding, the compiler will provide me with a deafult constructor only if there are no any user defined constructors, at all. Now consider the following code:

Code: class MyClass
{
private:
int m_data;
public:
MyClass(int init):m_data(init){cout<<"Ctr called"<<endl;}

[Code] ....

How is it that suddenly, there is a default constructor?

C++ :: Constructor That Initializes A Pointer To Point To The Object

Aug 27, 2013

I have a program that has a base class 'control' and there are 2 dervied classes 'button' and 'textbox'. How do i make a constructor in the 'button' or 'textbox' that initializes a pointer of the data type 'control' to point to the object that invokes the constructor. the code should look like this

class control {
//data
} class button:public control {
buton() {
//code for the constructor
}
}

actually i have an array of pointers of the type 'control' and as soon as any instance of a control like button or textbox is created the constructor should make an element of the array to point to the instance

C++ :: Discrepancy Between Constructor Output And Following Print Call To Object?

Jul 5, 2013

I am creating a Matrix class, and one of the constructors parses a string into a matrix. However, printing the result of the constructor (this->Print()) prints what I expect, and an <object_just_created>.Print() call returns bogus data. How is this even possible?

Snippets below:

Matrix::Matrix(const string &str) {
// Parse a new matrix from the given string
Matrix r = Matrix::Parse(str);
nRows= r.nRows;
nCols= r.nCols;

[Code] ....

in the driver program, here are the two successive calls

Matrix mm6("[1 2 3.8 4 5; 6 7 8 9 10; 20.4 68.2 1341.2 -15135 -80.9999]");
mm6.Print();
// mm6.Print() calls bogus data, -2.65698e+303 at each location. The matrix's
// underlying array is valid, because printing the addresses yields a block
// of memory 8 bits apart for each location

C++ :: Unable To Pass Reference Of Object Ifstream To Constructor

Jan 30, 2013

I'm trying to pass an reference of the object ifstream to my constructor as such:

// myClass.cpp
int main(){
ifstream file;
myClass classobj = myClass(file);}

I am defining the constructor as follows, in myClass.cpp:

myClass::myClass(ifstream &file){
// do stuff
}

I get the error of "No overloaded function of myClass::myClass matches the specified type."

Also, when I build the program, it tells me "syntax error: identifier 'ifstream'"

Also, I made sure I included this:
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <sstream>

What am I doing wrong? How can I pass an ifstream reference to my constructor?

C++ :: Initializing Object Of Class Inside Another Class?

Mar 7, 2014

I have a class MySeqBuildBlockModule that I am inheriting from: public SeqBuildBlock. Other than constructor and destructor, this class MySeqBuildBlockModule has a method: prep.

class MySeqBuildBlockModule: public SeqBuildBlock {
friend class SeqBuildBlockIRns;
public:
MySeqBuildBlockModule (SBBList* pSBBList0, long TI1_In, long TI2_In)// more arguements in this constructor of derived class
: SeqBuildBlock (pSBBList0)

[code]....

I would have like to intiantiate an object "myIRns_3" of a class defined in third party library

SeqBuildBlockIRns myIRns_3(pSBBList2);

and would like to access it from the prep function as:

double dEnergyAllSBBs_DK = myIRns_3.getEnergyPerRequest();

I tried to instantiate following in either private section or in constructor; but w/o any success:

SeqBuildBlockIRns myIRns_3(pSBBList2);

ERRORS encountered:

When I tried to do it inside the constructor, I get the following errors:

MySBBModule.h(113) : error C2065: 'myIRns_3' : undeclared identifier
MySBBModule.h(113) : error C2228: left of '.getEnergyPerRequest' must have class/struct/union type

MySBBModule.h(116) : error C2227: left of '->prepSBBAll' must point to class/struct/union

When I tried to do it in private section, I get the following errors:

MySBBModule.h(106) : error C2061: syntax error : identifier 'pSBBList2'
MySBBModule.h(113) : error C2228: left of '.getEnergyPerRequest' must have class/struct/union type

C++ :: Calling Constructor From Constructor Set Pointer To Null

VS 2012 / Windows 7 64 bit

class
class myclass {
public:
myclass(){/*stuff here*/}
myclass(int* p) {MyPointer = p; myclass()}

it works until the myclass(int* p) calls myclass()

then the MyPointer will become CCCCCCCC (NULL value)!

is there a way to stop the second constructor from resetting the pointer value to null?

C++ :: Derived Class Constructor Using Base Class Constructor?

Jan 1, 2013

Is this example correct? This example from a book

Constructor of the Base Class
Person::Person(char* n="", char* nat="U.S.A", int s=1)
{
name = n;
nationality = nat;
sex = s;
}

Constructor of the Derived Class (inherited from the base class)

Student(char* n, int s=0, char* i=""):
Person(n, s)

Why the initialized list of the base class constructor doesn't match the initialized list of the derived class constructor? I know this book is a little bit old, I'm not sure if this wrong in VC++ 2010?
