C++ :: Size Of Structure Pointer

Sep 2, 2014

Is there way to find the size of structure pointer size? When we tried to get the size of structure pointer will get size of address(@ location) which would be 4 bytes long. But I want to get the size of all structure members size using structure pointer.

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

Dec 7, 2014

Why doesn't this compile?

struct hi(){
void other();
}histructure;

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 :: 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 :: 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 :: 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++ :: 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 :: Fixing Size Of Array As Opposed To Using A Pointer

Oct 15, 2014

If I have an array and all I have is an upper limit on how big the array can get, and if the number of elements that get added can be considerably smaller than this limit, is it always the right choice to declare a pointer and just reallocate extra memory whenever the array grows? For instance, instead of declaring int a[max] I can declare a pointer int *a and than just realloc when I add elements.

C :: Pointer Size Increase - How Many Chars It Can Store

Dec 14, 2013

That code should make the size of the pointer (how many chars it can store) bigger but when i run it it show always 3 char positions while it should show N*M.

Code:
#include <stdio.h>#include <stdlib.h>
int main(void) {
int M, N, P, i;
scanf ("%d %d", &M, &N);
P = M * N;
char *c = malloc(P * sizeof(char));

C++ :: Size Of Char Array - Comparing Name To Another One (Pointer)

Jul 13, 2013

I have function that looks like this myfoo(char* Name) Now i want to compare this name to another one . But the another name is a pointer . This my code :

bool Tribe::RemoveSurvavior(char *H_Name) {
const char *p;
p=SurpointArr[i]->GetSurvivor_Name();
}

I need to compare if p is same as H_Name.

Mine is do it with for on each element but when i use sizeof it gives me size of char and not real size of the name.

C++ :: Virtual Table Pointer - Size Of A Class?

Apr 22, 2015

Here is an example,

Code:
class A {
public:
virtual void foo(){}
virtual void foo2(){}
virtual void foo3(){}
};
int main() {
A a;
int ret = sizeof(A);
return 0;
}

Basically object a contains a virtual table pointer which is of size 4 bytes. Since class A should have a virtual table which contains three pointers pointing to foo, foo2,foo3 separately. So the virtual table should be of size 12 bytes. I wonder where is virtual table located in memory?

C :: Keep Track Of Size Of Blocks Of Memory That A Pointer Points To - Malloc Is Stuck On 8

Jan 8, 2014

I'm trying to keep track of the size of blocks of memory that a pointer points to. No matter what I do, this code below always outputs the integer 8.

If I change 1000 to 5, I still get 8. If I change it to 0, I get 8... If I change it to -1, I get 8. If I change int *a to double *a, I get 8. If I take away the & symbol, I get 8. If I use *& instead, I get 8.

Why? I want it to output 1000. If I change that to 500, I want it to output 500.

int *a;
a = malloc(1000 * sizeof(int));

int j = sizeof(&a);
printf("%d", j);

I want to build my skills where I can allocate, inspect and change memory sizes.

Visual C++ :: Text Size In Screen Is Different From Size In Print Preview?

Feb 1, 2013

I must take an old MFC project in VC++ 6.0 and make changes.

The problem is text size in screen is different from size in print preview.

for example with this font

Code:
CFont f50;
f50.CreateFont(100,0,0,0,FW_BOLD,0,0,0,DEFAULT_CHARSET,OUT_DEFAULT_PRECIS,
CLIP_DEFAULT_PRECIS,DEFAULT_QUALITY,FF_DONTCARE,"Frutiger LT Std 45 Light");

And this text

Code:
s=_T("Let's try to calculate the size of this text");

and with MM_LOMETRIC map mode

GetTextExtent() returns me:

On screen: (1595,99)
Ink printer + print preview: (1589,100)
PDFCreator + print preview: (1580,100)

comparing with screen size the height is bigger but lenght is smaller. I don't understand.

I can understand that different printers process the fonts in different way and then to have different lenghts. That's not the problem. The problem is I need to simulate in screen the same behaviour i will have on printer because these texts are being aligned in the document, and I don't want to see that the text si aligned different in text than in paper.

What can I do to render the text on screen with the same size I will have on the printer? Print preview is doing it. Should I change the font parameters? is something related with pixels per inch?

C :: Why Size Of Struct Is Larger Than Sum Of All Size Of Its Members

Jul 11, 2013

I was wondering why, in C, the sizeof of a struct is larger than the the sum of all the sizeofs of it's members. It only seems to be by a few bytes, but as a bit of a perfectionist I fine this a bit annoying.
