C++ :: Struct As Variable - Zero (init) Data In Class Constructor
Feb 8, 2013
at my work we use a static analysis tool and it is pointing out some uninitialized variables. One of which is a class member variable which is a C struct. Now, that variable is already declared in the header file for the class.
I have a small class with a static int data member. I want to zero init it. I am thinking that making a .cpp file with only one line seems too much, isn't it?
So, can I do it inside the the header file? The variable is going to enumerate how objects were created (so any alternative will do).
The problem I have is with the Size constructor and the abstract class LevelObject which size is a member of.
The compiler error I get is:
C:Program Files (x86)ProgrammingProjectsUniversityprg_interactivesnakey_takeysrc..inc..incPlayer.hpp|17|warning: non-static data member initializers only available with -std=c++11 or -std=gnu++11 [enabled by default]| C:Program Files (x86)ProgrammingProjectsUniversityprg_interactivesnakey_takeysrc..inc..inc..incPlayer.hpp|17|warning: non-static data member initializers only available with -std=c++11 or -std=gnu++11 [enabled by default]|
[Code] .....
However I do invoke the copy constructor when I pass a variable of type size to the constructor in this line:
size_ = Size(s);
But the problem is that its complaining that the abstract class LevelObject doesn't invoke the constructor, which it shouldn't.
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?
I am trying to add data from a file that would go into a class that would later go into a vector of a class. I'm not really sure how to do it exactly. Here is the code:
Champion_Info.h
#ifndef CHAMPION_INFO_H_INCLUDED #define CHAMPION_INFO_H_INCLUDED #include <vector> #include <string> using namespace std; class Champ_Info {
I just read and have known for a while that classes are private (members and inheritance) by default and structs are public. But my question then comes what if.. a struct inheriting from a class or a class inheriting from a struct?
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 .
In a project I am working on, I have to initialize a window and pass it as a parameter to another constructor, but before the window is initialized, it is passed as a parameter thus causing an error. Here is some code :
Game::Game() : mWindow(sf::VideoMode(640, 480), "SFML Application", sf::Style::Close) , mWorld(mWindow) //<---- right here is where the mWindow variable needs to be passed { //... }
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.
In a function, I have a static variable that I want to assign the time in seconds when a certain condition is met and keep that value until a different condition is met. The time value is a struct. Since now->sec is always incrementing, will timeWhenEventMadeActive below hold onto the initial value or will it increment every time the function is called? I cant seem to test this.
static time_t timeWhenEventMadeActive = 0; static bool initTime = 0; if (!initTime) { timeWhenEventMadeActive = now->sec; //holds uptime value in seconds
Code: typedef struct _a { int id; } a; typedef struct _b { a my_a; my_a.id = 1; // error: expected specifier-qualifier-list before "my_a" } b;
I get error: expected specifier-qualifier-list before "my_a"
I must set the id for the kind of struct created inside the struct def because main() will be casting based on this id. Thats how I will know which structure b contains by it's id, there could be hundards of different structs with different values I will cast to the correct one and know it's members by it's id. How do I ?
The definition of the struct doesn't show it but the documentation says that bRawData is variable length. sizeof(RAWINPUT) will not be the correct size when the data field is of RAWHID type so how do you allocate a variable with automatic storage type that has the right size for the entire struct? You can get a header that has the size for the entire struct but how do you actually allocate storage space for the data without using malloc? I've seen some example code that used a char array but that violates aliasing rules and there are also alignment issues with that approach.
# include <iostream> # include <cstring> #include <iomanip> #include <cmath> using namespace std; class Course // Creating the class Course

I have to create an Array of type Course and then fill its member dats using various member functions. Those errors are caused by some Constructor defect, which I dont really know what it is.
It looks useful to implement strategy pattern because it makes a fully separate code block. So I can add a function to the map simply by compiling a source file. It's very simple. I don't need to edit another file.
But when I use it for my existing project, It makes some linking and runtime errors.(vs 2012). I can't recognize exactly why because it is a huge project. Anyway, I have a question that - Is this a safe use of class constructor?
I know that there is no fixed order of running, but in this case I think it doesn't matter. because they are independent. But it is not a common pattern, so I can't decide to use it.
When the below is done, does it call the constroctor only, and if yes, constructors do not have return types so how does it work? is there anything behind the scene?
wxAddHandler(new wxPNG_HANDLER); and sf::RenderWindow(sf::VideoMode(...),...);
Can I determine if a templated class has a particular constructor, in my case using a string within function to which T is used?
Code:
template<class T> void MakeObject(std::vector<T>& dataVector) { std::string str "con string,Joe,24"; // catch if T has string constructor T someObject(str); // T someObject should have constructor from string dataVector.push_back(someObject); }
