C++ :: Overload With Template Function
Nov 15, 2013
I am a beginner, got confused about:
template<typename T> int compare(T &a,T &b);
int compare(const char *a,const char *b);
char ch_arr1[6]="world",ch_arr2[6]="hello";
compare(ch_arr1,ch_arr2);
After running the code above,we got to know the non-template function is called. What I know is that the array arguments ch_arr1,ch_arr2 will not be converted to char * because the parameters are references in the template functions.
ch_arr1,ch_arr2 need to be converted to const char * if compare(const char *a,const char *b) were called.
I just wanna know what exactly happened behind that? and why?

Firstly, is it legal to overload a template function in a class? This is what I did
class FILE_txt
{
public:
FILE_txt(const char* );
[Code]....

I want to be able to do
someFunction(MyObject)
rather than
someFunction(MyObject.getWhatIWant())
I know I can do &MyObject, MyObject() and MyObject[0] by overloading operators but is it possible with just plain old MyObject?
this is assuming that I have no access to someFunction(), i.e, it cannot be modified.

I want to overload pure virtual function from 3rd party SDK class to put my debug messages like that:
errorStatus aXsaction(){printf(_T("
abort transaction"));transactionManager->abortTransaction();}
#define transactionManager->abortTransaction() aXsaction()
But compiler complains on the minus sign:
error C2008: '-' : unexpected in macro definition
Is it possible to trick the compiler?

Say I have a class that requires dynamic allocation to implement a few of the operators. Take "+" for example; I need to create a new object to hold the sum of the two parameters whose size is not known at compile time.
I'm pretty sure the standard way to indicate a failure inside the overloading function would be to throw an exception. However I am currently involved in an embedded(ish) project where the spec. says no exceptions are to be used.
I think I have 2 options:
1. Return an "invalid" object (with a flag indicating an error has occurred) and check for this after each operation.
a = b + c
if (a.err)
// handle error
or
2. To forsake operator overloading entirely and think up a new way of doing things where all functions that involve dynamic allocation can return error codes. but this seems rather terrible too as I may end up with something like:
objA a
if (add(&a, b, c) == -1) // assuming b and c are initialized before this snippet starts
// handle error
Is there a number 3 that I haven't thought of? It seems that not allowing exceptions is fairly common even in the non-embedded world [URL] so how is this normally done? or is operator overloading usually avoided when exceptions are not allowed?

I defined a virtual class and three other classes based on it. I want to use them like this:
int main() {
Dirichlet_t D;
Neumann_t N;
Cauchy_t C;
PDEBoundary_t * B1=& D;
PDEBoundary_t * B2=& N;
PDEBoundary_t * B3=& C;
[Code] .....
but I got two major errors
1: "object f abstract type is not allowed" error.-----why not?
2: "the derived class must implement the inherited pure virtual method"-----Did't I?

I'm trying to implement a simple template array class, but when i came into the operator< i actually have to use a template :
my code is something like :
template<typename _Type, std::size_t _Size>
class array {
public :
[Code] ......
but i am having an error of shadows template param 'class _Type' is it w/ the name conflict between the array template parameter and the function template parameter ?

Consider the class specification below. Write the prototype (i.e. header) of a member function to overload the insertion operator (i.e. <<). The << operator is to output the data members of an instance of class StudentTestScores into an output stream. Your definition should allow for chaining of output operations (e.g. cout << x << y; where x and y are of type StduentTestScires).
#include <string>
using namespace std;
class StudentTestScores{
private:
string studentName;
float *testScores; // used to point to an array of test scores
int numTestScores; // number of test scores

I have a function:
template<class Iterator, class T>
void a(Iterator, Iterator, const T&);
and I want to be able to simplify calls to 'a' with calls like
a(someIteratableContainer);
instead of having to call:
a(someIteratableContainer.begin(), someIteratableContainer.end(), valueOfTheContainersElementType);
I also want to be able to generalize the function to handle any of the standard iteratable contains: array, vector, deque, whatever.
I was under the impression I could write:
template<template<class T> class U> a(U<T>& container) {
a(container.begin(), container.end(), g(T()));
}
where 'g()' returns an object of the element type. However, the compiler is claiming, no matter how I write a call to the overload, the original template is selected and/or the overload is invalid, depending on the various ways I attempt to write said overload.

I'm having some issues with my code. For the produce function i am getting an error saying 'no instance of overload function produce() matches the argument list' and also for the lines buffer[head].data = message; buffer[head].time = current_time i get an error saying 'expression must have pointer to object type.
In the code i'm not sure if i passed the variables to the function correctly. I have attached the code .....

i want to use a class to print data stored as vector or array with different data types. i also want the print function two take more than one vector or array or combination of both so that they can be written to file as two columns. so i wrote the following class:
right now it has only one member function for printing two vectors. later i'll add additional functions as required.
note: there has to be template functions inside the class
i also want the object to be global so that i need not pass it as an argument to other calling functions
class printdata
{
public:
template<typename T1,typename T2>
void SaveData( vector<T1> &data1,vector<T2> &data2, std::string var)
{
[Code]....
then i want to call this template function in another ordinary function written in a seperate cpp file
these function declarations are put in a header file. so i need know whether i should put the declaration of the template function in the header to use the function in different functions

I have this:
string input;
unsigned short choice;
...
istringstream valid(input);
...
if(!(valid >> choice))
{
//some error
}
Ok. My code is almost 1000 lines, and I have splited some functions in headers. But the same function doesn't work:
template <typename T> bool valid_input(const string& input, T var)
{
istringstream valid(input);
return (valid >> var);
}
You can check it here: [URL] The output is correct, but in my machine with C++11, MinGW 4.8 (64 bit in a 64bit-Windows8), the output is incorrect. Why?
If you want more specific info, the problem is that I use input, I think. I use std::getline(std::cin, some_string).

I'm trying to create a callback wrapper for pointers to member functions of any class by using templates, std::function and std::bind. This will be used to send incoming sf::Event's to classes who register callbacks with an event manager. I based my code off of the example on this page: URL.....Here's what I have:
class EventCallback
{
std::function<bool(const sf::Event&)> func;
public:
template<typename T>
EventCallback(T* object, bool(T::*func)(const sf::Event&)) { func = std::bind(func, object, std::placeholders::_1); }
bool run(const sf::Event& evt) { return func(evt); }
};

I understand template functions and how to call them explicitly when no arguments are passed to them but can't seem to instantiate them explicitly when it resides within a class or struct.
struct Creator {
template <class T>
T * New(T * p) {
return new T;
}
};
Creator cr;
MyClass * pMy = cr.New<MyClass>(); //gives compile error
The compiler complains about MyClass (or any other) being used illegally in expression ...

I was just wondering how is this generally resolved. Let say you have this large function that runs in two modes. In the first mode it evaluates the data passed to a function as a map the the second mode it fills the map. example:
Code:
template <typename Map, typename Int>
void func(Map & map, Int i){
int z = 0;
string zz;
[Code] ....
The point is i do not want to write a large function just to include different modes so i decided to set "i" to be a mode identifier. However when i want to compile my function given two modes i get an error since the modes are not recognized (obviously). if i pass map as
Code: map<int,int>
and mode 1 i get an error here :
Code: map[z] = z; besause map
Code: map[z] expects z to be an int not string and the other way around (though in practice this cannot happen since i set the modes). So am i restricted to writing my function for both modes separately (polimorf.) or there is a way to make my example work.

} ;
template <typename T> void myclass::func( T& arg )

srand(unsigned(time(NULL)));
int size;
int *list;
int *listCopy;

Pseudocode:
template<typename T /*, some parameter for member_function */>
class Foo {
public:
void someFunction() {
T t;
t.member_fuction(...);
} }
I'm trying to make the call to T::member_function a templated value because member_function might vary by name in my scenario. Since std::mem_fn isn't a 'type', i can't do something like Foo<std::string, std::mem_fn(&std::string::clear)> foo;
I also want to take into account that member_function might have more than one parameter. That is, the first parameter will always be something known but there might be other defaulted parameters.
The only thing I can think of is to make a proxy structure, something like this:
template<typename T, T> struct proxy;
template<typename T, typename R, typename... Args, R (T::*member_function)(Args...)>
struct proxy<R (T::*)(Args...), member_function> {
R operator()(T &obj, Args.. args) {
return (obj.*member_function)(std::forward<Args>(args)...);
} }
Which would then allow me to do (for example) this:
Foo<std::string, proxy<void(std::string::*)(), &std::string::clear> >
when Foo is implemented like this:
template<typename T, typename member_function>
class Foo {
public:
void someFunction() {
T t;
member_function()(t);
} };
That implementation works for me.
